While we're back to questioning worm's law degree again, I just wanted to take the time to remind everyone that while I've never claimed to be a fake lawyer, I am both a fake astronaut and a fake lion tamer and I don't mind pretending that I know what I'm talking about when either topic comes up.

I've known over the years they have a reputation for pushing the envelope for more settlements deeper into the West Bank. While unprovoked acts violence against civilians is normal and acceptable for Hamas supporters to conduct on Israelis, I'd expected Israelis, to include settlers, to have higher standards for themselves. This is not going to play well at all. Every headline on google, scroll down, down down down down, rips them apart. And apparently it should because they do deserve it. Disappointing.

Thanks again for posting. This is how the Times of Israel covers the situation: https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-soldiers-film-themselves-abusing-humiliating-west-bank-palestinians/

I'd not read anything about this until you posted it. It's disturbing if true but it also comes across as potentially PLO propaganda. Preliminary results from all the Google search MSM headline results are reading similar to it: slamming the settlers hard but I'll keep digging. This seems wholly out of character, I'll see if I can find the Israeli settler side of the story to see if it makes some sort of sense.

He wrote his name in the snow for the talent competition? What? I presume the OP made a joke implying that he downed a six pack of Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light cans and unziped his pants? Or maybe it wasn't a joke; if the calligraphy is top notch, I admit he has far more talent than I do even though I also come equipped with a writing utensil. Poor girls never stood a chance.

She should have applied for work at a high school, not middle school.

Some of us have daughters ... what we want are the trannies and the feminists and the leftists to leave them alone, not to capitulate to them, overdose on their bullsh*t, and turn everything to sh*t.

Are you paying attention ... he entered the Miss Colorado contest. This is an event for women and the only reason his ugly ass won is because the panel was full of easily intimidated virtue signalling morons.

I didn't know that about Muhammad Ali but I don't have a problem calling people by their changed names. I don't mind referrring to the confused clerk at Walmart that wants to be she as "she" out of politeness. even though I know he's a "he". This Colorado dude is an asshole bully and unworthy of anyone's respect.

No. I don't play those games. I make it a point to always use accurate pronouns.

I wanted to see how he did in the Miss America competition, I learned that it hasn't happened yet. The 2023 contest was held in January. Although this is hugely disappointing, the truth is that its been decades since I gave a sh*t, so maybe they think the publicity, like the virtue signaling, is good for them.

I think you have to be pretty light in the loafers to pull off the Blippi character successfully. So yeah, I could be wrong, but I've been presuming he's gay.

By this point, Blippi has hundreds of hours of content, I would think. From everything I've seen, I the content is G-rated clean. Iif Blippi critics can dig through all that content and show me at least one 30 second clip of the guy grooming kids or doing anything pervy/sexual, I'll say "Oh! You're right," and re-evaluate my position.

I think it's a weird bump too. Are there any allegations against this guy? He dresses loud, acts silly, and teaches kids about science. Gay? Not gay? From what I can tell in my limited knowledge, Blippi is an asexual male character and there's no grooming going on. Whatever the man performing as Blippi does when the cameras are off, so long as that doesn't involve kids, that's his life and not my concern. The poop thing is weird and disturbing but apparently he has successfully keep his fetishes and his professional life separate. Also, I don't get at all the comparison to Mr. Rogers. There's almost no similarities other than target audience. The guy is far more like Pee Wee Herman.

Wordle 871 3/6 🟨 🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Went fast and saw it immediately, took longer to choose the second word than the third.

They aren't playing well. They got a fluke TD early and had one decent drive. The Jets pathetic offense occasionally gets within sniffing distance of FG range. When that happens, maybe they kick it, maybe they get a penalty and sack and get pushed back out. It's the football equivelent of watching an anaconda slowly digest a boar. They spend three quarters running out the clock.

Watching this Jets offense struggling to do things is exhausting. The Chargers aren't doing much of anything either but they don't have to.

Just getting in FG range that one time seemed like a big win for the Jets. Stringing together enough first downs to get to the endzone seems unachievable. We;ll see but overcoming a Special Teams TD and an offensive drive TD for a 14 point lead seems like asking way too much.

Things aren't looking great for the Jets. They have three quarters to go but this offense getting 2+ touchdowns while the D holds is asking too much,. I've been sensing that the Chargers are a team less bad than their record indicates.

Personally, if I ever wanted to demonstrate manical rage but didn't feel up to the task, I'd go cut and paste phillybear rants rather than rely on a milquetoast chatGPT program to do it for me. String together fifty of these phillybear gems and you're all set: ----- FOCK OFF. Seriously. Fock. Fock. Fock. I awaken in a pool of my own sweat; the aftermath of a long night of drinking. Note to self: You are an idiot. When you drink on a work night, expect a horrible day tomorrow. Since my boss is off, I have to show up to cover in any emergency situation. I want to call out, but I want to die even more. My hopes for being mugged and stabbed in the liver in the ensuing scuffle were fruitless as my five dollar dress shirt and scruffy shoes don’t exactly scream high roller. I sit on the subway, trying not to break off a seat and jam up someone’s rectum. I spend ten minutes gazing in wonderment at the lady sitting in front of me, putting on makeup with great precision as the subway jostles and lurches. No amount of makeup was going to cover up how vomit ugly she was, and just to make sure remembered that, as I got up to exit the train, I slugged her in the nose. Even though I am successful in pushing 3 people into oncoming traffic, none of them end up under a bus. I am now sitting at my desk, with my hurricane fan turned up at full blast, hoping to stop my alcohol induced sweating. Also, I am a bit tuckered out from a flurry of activity as I tried my best to hurl myself through the windows of this floor. Mother fockers won’t give me a raise, but they can afford state of the art bullet proof reinforced glass that neither a shoulder nor desk chair nor howls of rage nor the repeat bashing of one’s skull on the texture can penetrate the impenetrable. My head hurts. Fock off.

If any of you ever decide to become sociopathic mass murderers, or to shoot a celebrity, or to overturn the capitalist economic system, please learn how to write a proper manifesto. Because when people wonder why that chick shot Andy Warhol.... that OMG reaction is what you're going for.

This is the most disappointing manifesto I have ever read. :sadbanana: I am wholly unimpressed. To write a proper manifesto, you need pages and pages of utter insanity. This hakf-ass attempt is far too short and doesn't make my head explode. F We've had great manifestos, this isn't one. Our untalented trannny needs her membership in the evil psycho screed writing club rejected.

This Manifesto sucks. We have some great manifestos out there. The unabomber and Karl Marx and the crazy chick that shot Andy Warhol know how to write first rate mainfestos. I don't know if this three page bullsh*t should count.

Pats have their work cut out for them if they are going to sink any lower. Nice wins against the Bills and Jets and played Washington tough this week. Finding a way to lose to the DeVito Giants in two weeks would help a lot. The Cards have only the one win and they just put up a goose egg this week. Before that, they have been able to hang for a bit through the first half before eventually losing. They bit the Cowboys on the ass, they can get somebody else too. With the Giants, it was always that their schedule was brutal but when they did play the bottom teams, they won. They have two wins and the losses were all in expected places. So I thought maybe there might be some little bit of hope there, like a silver lining there. Then they played the Raiders this week and we got a look at this DeVito guy... I like Carolina and probably could get away with bumping then past the Giants this week. I'd rather wait and do it on a week they don't lose by two touchdowns. i'll keep them at 31, but the Giants may pass them.

I moved Washington from 17 to 20, which is the last of that middle tier.
