Next in a long list of celebrities I thought died years ago.
calliope
Correct.
They are legitimately too stupid to tell the difference between their specific childhood and the state of the entire world, so they think they can go back there if they try hard enough and force everyone else to pretend.
Same!! Toss Master gave me a chuckle
Rock doctoring!
Dr Matthews, also known as the "Toss Master", told BBC Radio's Good Morning Scotland that judges heard "rumours and murmurings of some nefarious deeds".
"There was a little bit of stone doctoring," he said.
"They had shaped it so that it was perfectly circular and fitted our three inch measurer.
It appears it didn’t matter, though, because the article doesn’t mention the winner as one of the rock doctors.
Ah yes, Sun Tzu said “If your opponent calls you the same thing you call him, there’s no comeback, game over.”
Oh definitely! Plus, tons of people who don’t have a full-on flagpole still hang a flag outside their house at all times.
The people who live across from me put up a comically-tall flagpole after Trump won last year… the first flag on it was a Trump flag. They now have an American flag up all the time (and it’s currently at half mast).
They’re all totally bizarre. Rarely have bad Americans announced themselves so clearly, right in front of their houses.
Yes, sadly. The same people still have it at half mast, and it’s 9/12.
People around here have also never put their flags at half mast for 9/11, they actually don’t put their flags at half mast for literally anything at their houses. Post offices, schools, government buildings, and some businesses, yeah. Houses, no.
So this is extremely performative for certain conservatives.
This is correct, and it’s legitimately insane to me that the Nazis themselves never see it.
In fact, they will completely deny it afterwards.
I recommend reading They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-1945 by Milton Mayer. This is my favorite quote but the whole book was eye-opening:
When I asked Herr Wedekind, the baker, why he had believed in National Socialism, he said, “Because it promised to solve the unemployment problem. And it did. But I never imagined what it would lead to. Nobody did.”
I thought I had struck pay dirt, and I said, “What do you mean, ‘what it would lead to,’ Herr Wedekind?” “War,” he said. “Nobody ever imagined it would lead to war.”
It’s because conservatives legitimately don’t actually know the difference any more. There are several people in my town who have their flags at half mast.
They think Donald Trump is a great leader, and they probably see him as a great “military officer” too.
The rules have changed.
Suffering is part of their cult.
This is funny because it totally ignores that Bolsonaro was part of the government from 1991-2023.
So it took what, 30+ years to take the trash out?
What an example! Can’t wait.
This is one of the many reasons I didn’t buy a fridge with a screen on it.
It seemed pretty obvious they were going to try and advertise something on it.
