@CanisVeritum Wagging the dog? Though actually, it might BE the dog; it certainly has led, rather than followed, the Repugnicans often enough over the years...

@TrueBloodNet Can the locked room be on Mars? I am totally in favor of this.

@NorthernInvader I'm down for the S and (some of) the T and the M, but engineers... too many in my family to think that'll lead to good outcomes. (Let's just say they tend toward conservatism and away from empathy.) Maybe we double up on the life-sciences folk?

TW: animal torture (no visual but JFC some things you can't un-read)

The head of the NRA -- "once a creep, always a creep" doesn't begin to cover this. In a better world Doug Hamlin would experience everything that happened to that cat. A fking sociopath.

@TrueBloodNet A message for this day, and yet so utterly evergreen. Dude needs to go back to the 90s and stay there.

@th3j35t3r I'm out of there almost twobyears at this point. No regrets whatsoever -- and who *knew* it would be an even better feeling than quitting Facebook was!

@darcrich Not reeling enough to change his ways, though. They never are.

@cjcrew @DavidSalo The quote attributed to LBJ could've been describing some of my relatives, and sounds like some of yours too: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

@Anouk BRYAN FULLER omg how was he not all up in the "you wanna talk Hannibal Lecter, Tr*mp, LET'S FKING GO" possibilites...

@IslandNewsService Good Shabbes to all and may your fast be an easy one (she said, scarfing down a loco moco before sunset)

@Iveyjanette1 Dude was an overrated player and clearly he's somehow even worse as a human being.

@feloneouscat Wish DeSatan would for once show the "courage" of his "convictions" and go stand on the beach in Sarasota tonight. Climate change is a myth? The VP call was political? Okay, boyo, haul your happy ass out there and wait until I call for you. Surely you'll be fine.
