Their outfits were Boss!
There’s a yayhoo in my neighborhood that always bikes with a piece on his hip. I have no* idea why he thinks he needs that. Mine is a really quiet and nice neighborhood. I want to be outside when he goes by, and pop a couple packing balloons.
*he’s probably constantly afraid “some shit will go down”, and doesn’t want to be unprepared. He’s in more danger from being hit by a car pulling out of the gated community down the street. Those idiots never look!
Not recommended. But thank you for the excuse to link to my favorite Cecil column ever:

My son has a neighbor who carries while mowing the lawn.
After you run over a critter with your lawn tractor, it’s considerate to shoot it in case it’s suffering.
Republicans are reaching levels of sycophantry* not seen outside of Kim Jong’s living generals.
I await the operas that Trump will write
*May not be a real word, but should be
What kind of weak-ass tractor are you using? Man, I could kill a grizzly just with my leaf blower!
So this happened:
Not only was the person who announced the award for Best Picture Al Pacino, not Kimmel (who hosted), but the Academy hasn’t used the phrase “And the winner is” since about 1988. It’s now “And the award goes to…”
Tom Cotton rationalizes using your car as a weapon or dragging protesters around.
This practice of manhandling other human beings is known in the United States as - “battery” (unless you’re in Florida or Oklahoma, where hitting protesters with your car is totally fine) and is perhaps not the sort of thing that a sitting senator should be encouraging."
TBF, some of the old school presenters have done it since out of sheer habit (it was even a specific gag one year). But officially, yeah. (Though Trump would probably deride it as more touchy feely nonsense.)
I started to post a reply to this but realized it was too much of a hijack, so I started another thread here.
Wow! Is he wearing Ronco Spray Hair in the first picture?
I was googling for a picture to include in this post, and apparently I’m not the first to make this observation.
I’m reminded of this scene from The Fabulous Baker Boys:
Also it’s “Best Picture”, not “Picture of the Year”.
The only person I know who packs a pistol is a free-range pig farmer, and his advice to me when feeding the pigs (which I have done several times) was “never let a pig get behind you”. Piglets are fine, but not a fully grown sow or boar. He’s never used it on the pigs, but safety is safety.
This seems reasonable advice. Pigs can and do harm people.
My lawn, however, has never attempted to murder me. Occasionally it has been guilty of “slippery while wet” after a rain shower, but just mowing seems a little benign to think you need to carry your weapon.
"Marjorie Taylor Greene offers an amendment to make funds from the Israel funding bill available “for the development of space laser technology on the southwest border.”
It’s amendment 11 to H.R. 8034 - Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024
Empty Greene has assumed, from Michelle Bachmann, the cape of Queen of Shatbit Crazy.
Good grief, she’s so dumb she studies for a pap test.
Here’s the PDF
Makes perfect sense to me. Everyone knows Jews build the bestest space lasers, so of course some of that Israel funding should support that technology. Heck, Israel could even use the space lasers in Gaza!
Of all things to flip flop on, Space Lasers, at least so far, must be the stupidest. C’mon Greene, pick a side and stick with it. You either want them or you don’t.
I wonder how long it’ll take her (or someone smarter than her) to set up a “Space Laser Research Facility” business to start funneling some of that money out.
This HAS to be an article from The Onion. Right? Right?
Hello, is this thing on?
