Haven't heard "bacchanal" used in that way for more than a decade.

Also, is this a read? I think this counts as a read.

EDIT: Whoops, we've moved on. Well at least this was posted sometime today.

Recognizing the inherent misogyny of Western beauty ideals--once you get out of the core of Fox News Anchors and former press secretaries, it's astonishing how easy it is to identify women whose hateful politics have scared off all the gays and creatives in the world of celebrity hair and makeup.

Can someone post that photo of Megan McCain? You know the one.

EDIT: And wardrobe, but I know there are some chuddy designers of note.

This is the thing.

These truckers aren't converting anyone to their "cause". They aren't gaining hearts, minds, or even making any sort of convincing argument. They are pissing off everyone, and being laughed at by those that they aren't actually angering.

And if there was a centrist, fence sitter who was maybe flirting with thinking about becoming an anti-vaxxer, well now this person equates being an anti-vaxxer with being one of the annoying fuckwits in this truck blockade and will not want to be anything associated with them.

They are actively hurting their cause. Publicly.

This can also be said for the American CHUDs as well as the arseholes who still march down the Melbourne CBD against "lockdowns" even though we have been out of lockdown for months and months and more than 90% of eligible folks are double vaccinated.

Isn't this the argument that gets raised against most any public protest/demonstration though?

I think they were imagining they were being clever hiding their naughty N-word saying. That they used the plural suggests to me it is not an actual jogger.

Plus I have seen chuds and I have a hard time imagining that they jog in any appreciable numbers. Probably doesn’t matter. I can despise them either way.

It's a reference to Ahmaud Arbery. It's the N-word.

Has Jackson said "What the gently caress has all this bullshit got to do with anything?" yet?

Fortunately, she doesn't have to happen. Machin votes for judges, and not even Sinema is dumb enough to torpedo a Supreme Court Justice in the name of bipartisanship. They have enough votes unless something comes up, and what's come up suggests they've got nothing.

Hell, Tim Scott may have to vote for her.

It's more like Democrats are helping the very Trumpy, very unlikeable conservatives win their primaries so that they IN THEORY have an easier time winning but it's incredibly concerning to me if they summerhouse managed to win

Kinzinger was complaining about it (like Republicans don't do the same poo poo)

Nope, Blackface Carlsonite is a Democrat challenging the progressive in the primary. This isn't a "help the whackjob win the GOP primary so we have a better shot in the general" situation.

:wtf: would a 15-minute physical even look like?!

“Oh, wow, this is concerning me. Might be cancerous! Oh well, see ya’. Next!”

Dr. Oz is a terrible person and candidate, but 15 minutes is actually pretty standard in the United States. You may spend more time with the technician for your blood pressure or lab samples, but most exam visits last less than 20 minutes.

Can anyone parse this? It reads like brain mush to me but I know there's a point in there.

I THINK they're saying that the left's focus on "culture war" issues like pronouns don't help the cause of liberation, which... whatever.

I do think both sides (BOTH SIDES!!) spend too much national time on the outrage cycle of individual outrages (whether it be some jagoff writing racial slurs on a college student's door, or some library in a liberal enclave meeting their audience's tastes with a drag storytime), but the "culture war" over pronouns has a direct and legitimate impact on the literal lives of the trans, NB, and gender nonconforming, including those prisoners this person pretends to care about (not recognizing pronouns in prison assignments is a real good way to get someone killed or assaulted, or to create a personal mental health crisis that can have broader implications on individual and collective prisoner safety).

it's the one for reinforcing damaging stereotypes about what sort of person wears a bowtie.

She can and probably will do both.

Can you go lobbyist if no one will open their doors to you? Like, if she's just there to carry the briefcase of money, there's no reason to pay for a former Senator. If you're actually paying for the access, the institutional knowledge, or the goodwill, it feels like there's no reason to pay for Sinema.

The $4,000 is just for the contempt charge, not the tax fraud conviction. Whether you think they'll ultimately get the $1.6 million fine, they're actually two completely separate charges with different penalties.
