@squared99 Selling billions upon billions of weapons to Israel and then sitting back and watching it commit genocide didn’t work out, then?

What’s a song that always a brings a tear to your eye?

I’ll start:

She Used to Be Mine (by Sara Bareilles, from the musical Waitress).

Your daily reminder that no trillion-dollar corporation is your (or freedom’s or democracy’s) friend.

@unknown8bit Fingers crossed, this has been the mildest reaction too… so far, only the slightest feeling in the arm with the COVID jab. Might hit me tomorrow though :) G’luck with yours :)

@M1k3yv2 We’re playing 4D chess.

Little known fact: the film Don’t Look Up is actually part one of four with Don’t Look Left, Don’t Look Right, and Don’t Look Down making up the full corpus of the Humanity In A Fucking Nutshell In 2024 tetralogy.

@M1k3yv2 Shush, they might be listening… this could foil our ingenuous plan.

@M1k3yv2 Goodness, those Meta folks must be really foolish, huh? Looks like they’re stepping straight into our trap.

:awesome:👍

Right, just got my COVID booster and seasonal flu vaccine. (The COVID one is free even if you’re not in the “high risk groups”.)

If you’re near Greystones, Robert at the Boots is the best; probably the gentlest I’ve ever been jabbed :)

Indeed, Democrats destroyed their largest national lobbying and GOTV operation, ACORN, in response to fake scandals created by known fraud James O'Keefe.

Since then, Democrats have largely abandoned certain states to Republicans, with Florida being one of the more recent examples.

Wisconsin only just rejected -- through the courts, not voting -- its extreme GOP gerrymander after 10 years of Republican dominance in which legislative elections were essentially irrelevant to the outcome.

@davidculley Fun times! *sigh*

Some Einstein actually called the Just Stop Oil activists in that other thread “tree huggers.”

Fam, I guess that makes you a tree ‘cos they’re trying to save your daft butt along with everyone else’s.

*smh*

@jonpaul It’s never the right place/time/way to protest, is it? Always so damn inconvenient.

@scott You and I both, Scott. You and I both :)

@clintruin @FatherEnoch @annaecook Aral, please… Mr. Balkan is my dad ;P

@ichbindabomb Da-yum! :)

@rogue_corq Congratulations, I guess.

@jwildeboer Very interested in seeing where you take this.
