Everyone has to get the fuck off the roads when I decide to drive somewhere. As dictator I shouldn’t have to put up with your stupid shit.
In my realm, every restaurant and food purveyor (fast food, school cafeterias, corporate catering services) would have to provide at least one offering, sweet or savory, Jell-O-based or non-, I’m a benevolent dictator, created from a Bundt pan, fancifully shaped mold, or in the shape of a ring.
Hate to do it here and if it bugs anyone, please just ignore it, but I’ve been out of internet reach for a week and came back yesterday and saw something that caught my eye.
The boiling frog “theory” or whatever was mentioned yesterday, and not that it matters hugely, but it isn’t a thing, not frog is sitting in hot water until it boils them dead. Similar to the false lemming study, these two things get mentioned a bunch but are not accurate. I first read about the boil frog theory in “Story of B” or one of the trilogy anyway, but I’ve read since it doesn’t happen, along with reading the lemmings were forced off the cliff.
I could be wrong, but that is what I’ve read.
You are correct. Frogs aren’t that stupid. Once things get hot enough, they’re gone.

Have a great time @MegMegMcGee!
Have a great time, Meg!
Have a fun trip Meg!!!
Okay, if ya’ll haven’t checked out the White House twitter feed, you’re missing out. That is some grade-A “This you?” trolling on Republican fuckwits. My feed blew up yesterday.

Direct link to the thread as the White House shows the receipts for these assholes. My question is, did Matt Gaetz use his loan to hire teenage girls?
The lame defenses from MAGAs and the withering comments in response are priceless.
Oh, and #DarkBrandon is now apparently a thing. Wish he’d gone on offense two years ago.
In fiery midterm speech, Biden says GOP’s turned toward ‘semi-fascism’
Best thread ever! Now “Dark Brandon” is trending and I am HERE FOR IT.
What is a “twitter” and how do you “feed” them?
As the young folk say, I legit LOLed.
Bon voyage, @MegMegMcGee

Amy Coney Barrett’s husband has a seat on the SCOTUS
https://www.rawstory.com/amy-coney-barrett-people-of-praise/
Kinda like Ginni Thomas.
I was busy and didn’t have time to comment fully, but a lot of people don’t realize that fundamentalist Christians essentially consider women property (“Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands”} and they’re expected to obey men. So yes, putting a fundie woman on the Supreme Court is basically giving the seat to the man who gives her orders. I haven’t seen anything to suggest that Barrett thinks for herself.
that is all
Happy travels, @MegMegMcGee!!! We will all miss you!
