Right-Wingers Say Super Bowl Is Rigged So Taylor Swift Can Endorse Biden

    Four more years of unchecked misogyny. In a second Trump term, women would once again be targets
  • Anyone who votes for this asshole is, at the very least, okay with all kinds of shitty behavior. From making fun of people with medical conditions, denigrating all stripes of non-white, non-male folks, all the way to attempting to prevent the transfer of presidential administrations through force; All of it is owned by anyone who votes for Trump.

  • Two years ago, a "once in a hundred years" wind storm downed trees that had been around for decades. Many of them fell on houses, garages, etc. Last year, the once in a hundred years wind storm took down even more. We haven't had the every hundred year storm this year yet but I am expecting it. The issues are serious.

  • Batman returns is really dumb. The movie craftsmanship (or whatever) is well done but the premise is just so stupid (to me). I feel this way about all super hero films, I just can't get past that the source is comic books for kids. I cannot take them seriously.

  • I wonder if real estate investors are still hopeful of a comeback or if they are trying to think of new uses. Office park real estate, must be particularly hard hit - who would rent those horrors now that they can afford a place in a highrise.

    It's hard not to schadenfreude thinking about all the predicament of the owners of the cynically bland environments they tried to stuff us in.... And they wanted us to pay for parking on top of it. Hoping we never go back.

    'Make me look sexy': Don Jr. urges courtroom sketch artist to work her magic
  • Since policy, facts, and that sort of thing don't seem to matter, let's focus on what does. The Trump family is really ugly, grotesque even. Donald looks super weird because of his skin tone and that ridiculous hair style. The Juniors both have fairly ugly faces which can't be 'normalized' even with a beard. Therefore they should lose all court cases + lose any future elections. Also, these facts are proof that the 2020 election was legit.

    The World's Map of Billionaires: inherited vs company founders vs executives
  • The link to the source of the data was broken and I didn't search around but I was curious how they defined inherited. To be in this class, did they have to inherit a billion dollars? A million? Come from upper middle class? If close to 30 percent are inheriting upwards of a billion, that is a lot.

    And look at Russia, yikes! Shows a deep corruption. How that country doesn't devolve into a Venezuela/Liberia/take-your-pick, I do not know
