This is the perfect summation of John Donald Bowman's conversion to Catholicism, delivered by his wife, Usha Vance: “Therapy didn’t work for you,” she admitted. “But church does.”
London Review of Books‘The most obvious question is not whether J.D. Vance believes what he claims to believe, but why, if he believes it, he acts as he does.’ James Butler (@piercepenniless.bsky.social) reads J.D. Vance’s conversion memoir 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
ICE stealing people from their homes & flying them to parts unknown is TERRIBLE ENOUGH without EMBELLISHING it by adding MIDAIR DEFENESTRATION OVER THE FUCKING OCEAN.
Gillian BrockellPlease for the love of God, stop telling me about Pinochet’s death flights and suggesting ICE is doing them. 1) The doors on the charter jets ICE uses cannot be opened midflight. It is physically impossible. 2) Even if depressurized, the door would fly off and/or bodies get sucked into engines
I will not fat shame John Donald Bowman. I will not fat shame John Donald Bowman. I will not fat shame John Donald Bowman. I will not fat shame John Donald Bowman.
huck masonfor reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.
A quote from, "David Majernik, a longtime local party leader from Plum:" “I think a lot of people in the party are more interested in purity than in winning elections.” Read that again. Consider it from both sides of the aisle. How dare we be more interested in integrity than winning at all costs?

Here's one: I? Don't give a shit about any of these people *except* the kid. And? I only care about the kid because her collarbone was snapped, possibly by her dad, NOT because she was a nekkid 2 y/o in a picture. Every adult in her orbit is AWFUL. ALL of them.
Radley BalkoMiller is a piece of shit. But be cautious about calling family photos of nude toddlers "CSAM." I've written about lives ruined over allegations that turned out to be harmless photos of kids taking a bath or running naked through the house. Moreno is already calling for prosecutions, here.
The number of times my spouse & I have said, "I do not consent," to my Mom's French bulldog mix as it licks wherever it pleases is INSANE! That said, I think the dog is learning that the phrase means "NO".
Don't panic JoneseyWhy would you back up if a pug jumps on you?
I too am a nerdy, cis-het, Gen x white person. Let me explain some errors in Ken's non-apology: -His was the "bad take," not the "snarky reply." He wasn't even directly called out, but used as an example for what not to do while professing "allyship." -->
Ken JenningsAnyone who knows me even a little, or has even followed me long on social media, already knows this about me. Our institutions are literally trying to erase trans people right now, and it pisses me off. A snarky reply to one bad take on Bluesky doesn’t mean that’s changed at all. ⬇️
