Considering this sort of thing is the only aspect of government the President has direct and unaccountable control over is it fair to say Jeff Bidet is the greatest President of our lives and is likely to remain so until we're all dead?

Oh hey, remember that horrible fiberglass statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest? The one that a Confederate troll erected within sight of I-65 and looked like a coked-out nickel? Looks like the guy died last fall, left it to be inherited by his dog, and now it's been taken down.

It was that or elect it governor, but they figured Forrest was too moderate to win a GOP primary.

Good thread on how to totally not sabotage or destroy killer robots, I would never advocate such a thing. We love killer robots.


The tl;dr:

Look, just give me the pickle juice and I will use water balloons filled with some other liquid (which may or may not have sugar in it) to stop them.

I'm talking about my piss.

Strong start for this boss.


Apparently he's legit polling well so far!

I definitely recommend checking out all his ads, they're a master class in political messaging.

The level of mask-wearing during the pandemic may have been enough to drive one of the four major flu strains to extinction.

City of Toronto begins phasing out police response to mental health crisis calls.

The program is to be fully implemented no later than 2025 and earlier if the pilot phase (the four highest-risk neighbourhoods) goes really well. But it's locked in; we're doing this.
