JD Vance Doubles Down on Attack on 'Childless Cat Ladies'.
  • You could have tried to explain your way out of the 2021 comment. But nope he just goes head long into it.

    I hope we get Mark Kelly as VP now, a fucking astronaut against this clown would be the greatest juxtaposition ever.

  • J.D. Vance in Serious Trouble After Damning Project 2025 Book Foreword | Donald Trump’s running mate can’t claim he knew nothing about the extremist Project 2025 after this.
  • As Trump desperately tries to separate his campaign from Project 2025, users on X have noted one big problem: J.D. Vance wrote the foreword to a forthcoming book by the plan’s lead author, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts.

    On the Amazon product page, the promotional material for the book, titled Dawn’s Early Light, highlights Roberts’s role in composing Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation proposal for a conservative overhaul of the federal government.

    The product page also includes a favorable review from Vance. “Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism,” the review says. “We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”

    It’s in English, I have no idea why the description is in Russian.

    TIL the term Redneck likely originated from the sunburned red neck of those working in fields.

    The term originally characterized farmers that had a red neck, caused by sunburn from long hours working in the fields. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as "poorer inhabitants of the rural districts ... men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin stained red and burnt by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks".[12] Hats were usually worn and they protected that wearer's head from the sun, but also provided psychological protection by shading the face from close scrutiny.[13] The back of the neck however was more exposed to the sun and allowed closer scrutiny about the person's background in the same way callused working hands could not be easily covered.

    By 1900, "rednecks" was in common use to designate the political factions inside the Democratic Party comprising poor white farmers in the South.[14] The same group was also often called the "wool hat boys" (for they opposed the rich men, who wore expensive silk hats). A newspaper notice in Mississippi in August 1891 called on rednecks to rally at the polls at the upcoming primary election:[15]

    An airport is an air-port. A port via the air.

    Not actually a shower thought, saw an old document that labeled it air-port. I don't think I would have ever made the connection.

    The whole concept of a forehead (hairless forehead) is strange.

    Why is there no hair? It's completely surrounded by hair. The entire rest of the head (except parts of the actual face) is covered by hair. Other animals have hair.

    Italian speakers, can you understand Opera?

    FYI: apparently most Opera is in Italian, then French comes in distant second, German third.

    One in six voters say Trump verdict could change their minds ahead of tight election, poll finds

    Let's talk about Putin's promise of peace in Ukraine....

    TLDR: There was a recent shakeup of the Russian top brass and an economist was put in a top job. He thinks the economist has told Putin that this can not be sustained given Russia's capability and Western promised support. Putin might actually be listening and why he wants to settle on current control.

    Back in the 1970s when we switched to unleaded gas, what did the vehicles that ran on leaded gas do?

    Did they have to track down leaded gas? Did they just use unleaded? Did they suffer engine knock?

    The Swedish island is strategically located in the Baltic Sea.

    Putin has ‘both eyes’ on Gotland, warns Sweden’s army chief

    >After being demilitarized in 2005, Sweden re-introduced permanent troops to Gotland in 2016, following Russia’s annexation of Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014. Sweden also became NATO’s newest member in March — meaning it is covered by the alliance's Article 5 guarantee that all other members come to each other's defense if they are attacked.

    Personally I wasn't a fan of them, so was glad they didn't continue on.

    Kids love playing HIde and Seek because it plays into our hunter and prey instincts.

    Instincts being we were both hunters and had to hide from predators. Hide and seek feeds both.

    TIL White Castle was the pioneer of fast food, not McDonalds

    99percentinvisible.org The White Castle System of Eating Houses - 99% Invisible

    White Castle has its own take on fast food hamburgers. For starters, the patties are square, with five holes in each patty. And they’re small, too –- two-and-a-half inch sliders. Just big enough to fit into the palm of your hand. And since they’re steamed on a bed of onions, everything is infused wi...

    Excellent listen throughout, but you can skip to 17:30 for competition with McDonalds.
