The first time I saw this photo, the caption was “Jesus being led to his crucifixion by Roman guards.”
This photo op really failed badly for the Nazis. It did NOT send the intended message.

You know they probably use the death grip method, too, because they really hate their own dicks.

I agree. For a lot of people, politics is just a hobby that they’ve sunk their entire identity into. Like the new golfer that starts buying all sorts of clubs and gear, or the new woodworker who has to buy every tool before he makes a single cutting board, etc.
They discover politics, and the next thing you know, they’re wearing star-spangled ties in the office, they’ve got stickers all over their bumper, they’ve programmed their car radio presets to nothing but conservative talk stations, they develop a snear whenever they say the word Liberal, etc.
They just need a new hobby. Get them a new bicycle, and in a month they’ll have a $5000 Italian racing bike, all the tight spandex clothes, special expensive shoes with locking cleats, $300 Oakleys, etc. They’ll be a pain in the ass on the roads, but at least they’ll be too busy riding to vote.

I have come to the realization that dying in my sleep of old age would be a waste. I believe that my life may have an unexpected twist ending, and I’m good with that.
I have certain Red Lines that will not be crossed. The most important are certain people whom I love, who belong to demographic groups that are particularly despised by MAGA. If anything were to happen to them, I would have nothing left to lose, and I would become a very dangerous individual.
I believe I am not alone in this feeling.

It’s my balls! They’re the ones that are gay randy, not me.
Hey, Gay Randy sounds like a fun cabaret act. Or maybe like a reverse drag queen act, like a women dressing as a man? Would that be funny? Not as funny as a drag queen, probably.
MAGAs might still hate it, and that’s always funny.

I’m just kidding, I actually prefer Metric when I’m woodworking. It’s much easier to multiply and divide measurements.

I no longer have a retail shop, the 7 day a week grind got to be too much after a lot of years. I just do events now, colleges, weddings, corporate events, etc. all over the East Coast. It isn’t as creative, and I miss my regular customers, but I actually make a lot more money, with a LOT less work this way.
So if you want to try my ice cream some time, you’d have to hire me for a gig somewhere on the East Coast. Know anyone who is getting married? Or have a big corporate event coming up?

He has to do this so people will think he’s sporting a giant hammer, when in reality it is a dangling flap of useless old pemmican following botched penis enlargement surgery.
The richest man in the world, and he has to pay women to have his children because they wouldn’t go near him, even if his dick did work, which it doesn’t.
I guarantee that he’s in talks with doctors, and funding research into wiener transplants. He could drop a billion on that research and never miss it. Get a nice big one from a porn star who accidentally fell out a window.

Yeah, you do. Honey Cinnamon is my secret weapon.
I can make ice cream out of almost anything, but here are some of my favorites:
Peach Cinnamon Bananas Foster (Banana, cinnamon, caramel) Raspberry Chocolate Chip Raspberry Brownie Raspberry Nutella Coffee Nutella Salted Caramel with Candied Bacon Almond Joy (Coconut, Almonds, and mini dark chocolate chips) Mayan Chocolate (Cocoa powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper)
The Honey Cinnamon is also great when it’s infused with Bourbon or Scotch. We also make our own homemade caramel, fudge, brownies, cookie dough, etc., all organic or natural as much as possible. All of our fruit ice creams are made with real fruit, no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors.
I literally make the best ice cream in the world, and have done events alongside Top Chef contenders and winners, including Richard Blais. Don’t you wish you had that mental tasting ability right now?

The proper way humans are supposed to think is with Critical Thinking Skills. It used to be taught in schools, often in English classes. Remember being taught how to write an essay from the General concept to down to the specific point? That was teaching Critical Thinking Skills, learning how to craft a coherent argument.
Today, many states actively discourage the teaching of Critical Thinking Skills. Republicans in particular hate it. About a decade ago, the Texas Republican Party even included opposition to Critical Thinking Skills in their state platform, claiming that it taught children to defy authority figures. No it doesn’t, it just teaches them when those authority figures are trying to exploit them. They actually tried to position Critical Thinking Skills as detrimental to childhood education.
If you don’t develop Critical Thinking Skills, you will substitute orderly thinking with a sort of ad hoc, improvisatory, chaotic thinking, which is easy for someone with a nefarious agenda to tap into and manipulate. Those with good Critical Thinking Skills learn to recognize and resist things like propaganda.

Trump has signed an Executive Order that while he is in office, a year is 25 months.
For Democratic presidents, an entire 4 year term is 5 minutes, and is immediately replaced by another Trump term.

We don’t do a lot of things right in America, but MMDDYYYY is one of them.
Daylight Savings Time really sucks though.
I’m neutral on the Metric System.

Makes sense. It’s why we have that Pavlovian response to just the promise of something tasty. It shouldn’t be surprising that the same effect that is making our mouths water, is also releasing endorphins in anticipation of the taste. Just thinking about it is pleasurable enough to release endorphins.

Is this new, somehow? I’ve always recognized that the people around me think differently. I even recognized that there was a spectrum.
I’m definitely a #1, and always recognized that about myself. I’m like to write, and I think that activity demonstrates the spectrum well. Stephen King once said that he doesn’t understand why people struggle with writing. He just pictures the story in his head, and writes what he sees. When I read that, I instantly recognized myself. That’s how I write.
But I also know that some people write almost like they are putting together a puzzle. They choose certain words that go together well, and they are constructing their narrative brick by brick. I think poetry is often constructed like that, and I think those prose writers have a more poetic sensibility than others, and that sort of writing reflects it. That might explain why I really don’t care for that style of writing much, because I am extremely bad at poetry. That construction style just doesn’t work for me.

And after years working in kitchens, I can think in smells. I.e.mix spices in my mind and smell them in my head before adding to a dish.
I’m that way with ice cream. I own an ice cream business that creates custom ice creams, and after many years, I can think of a a flavor combination, and sort of “taste it” in my mind.
I love ice cream, but I don’t eat it that often any more. If I have a craving, often just thinking about what flavor I’d have is satisfying enough.
