Cavuto went on to shoot down his claim that gas prices are at $6 a gallon, sourcing the real price as being an average of $3.26 a gallon.

Good. I’m so sick of the wild bullshit like that this baboon makes up. Gas is around 2.80 where I live which seems quite cheap given that it was that price 20 years ago and everything else has gone up so much. Then, of course, there’s the fact a lot of people are super-confused about that presidents don’t set the price of gas.

“They asked me why I didn’t approve [friend requests], and why I deleted and blocked people on Facebook and Instagram,”

What an insane thing to be questioned about by police.

'We' didn't elect him. A horde of deluded, ignorant douchebags in just the right states did.

Exploring a cave is great, but I sure as fuck wouldn't try crawling down a tiny hole going down at a 70 degree angle. Some spelunkers are straight nuts though, like they get to the end of a cave and say "wow, the wind is whistling through here!" and try expanding small openings with a hammer and chisel or even explosives. I went caving one time in a well known but very long cave, with experienced people, and that was really interesting. When i got back I read my friend's cave incident journal, which details all the rescues and deaths that happened in the last year, and it was... interesting. Shit like "oh, jimmy got stuck, so we had to break his ribs to get him out". Great.

In this niche art field I was in, the most successful people either grew/sold weed or had wealthy parents. Makes a huge difference when both your parents are doctors and can just buy you a $50,000 studio, and you don't have to worry about making smaller work or having a sustainable business for years and are free to experiment and think big.

Wow, imagine willingly providing that information to what you know is a criminal organization. The people who signed up are obviously a major security hazard to whoever they work for.

As the article mainly states, this isn't just because Trump can't help it but also as a strategy to make it easier to get a favorable appeal. Plus, it would stoke his favorite way to portray himself, as a victim, and fundraising:

there have been recent conversations among some of Trump’s 2024 campaign brass of how much of an immediate fundraising boost they would enjoy, if a New York judge were to try to put Trump in a cell for even a minute. “All the cash in the world,” one Trump political adviser says.

My guess is it’s supposed to imply a potential girlfriend with an interest in astrology more than a professional reader.

I'm so tired of this psycho Christian bullshit. When you teach people to fervently believe a bunch of things that make no sense... it's too easy to make up nonsensical excuses, and there are people who 100% fall for them.

Whereever I saw this posted yesterday, best comment was that he should have owned it and told the guy "be sure to wipe down the equipment when you're done".

This appeared when attempting to view a Kbin image attachment from a federated instance.

"The certificate for media.kbin.social expired on 10/3/2023."

Viewing the certificate,

  • Validity
  • Not before: Wed, 05 Jul 2023 14:47:26 GMT
  • Not after: Tue, 03 Oct 2023 14:47:25 GMT

I see the one this page on kbin is using is slightly different. The expired one covers kbin.social in addition to *.kbin.social.

It’s really confusing how people view this twee whiny bully as ‘manly’

It's pretty insane how these people were told, incorrectly, that Mike Pence could just wave his hand and choose the next president, and are totally ready to murder him because he didn't do something crazy that he didn't even have the power to do.
