“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift
The image of Hegeseth is real
Sorry, I should’ve been more clear; I was never questioning the Hegseth image.
The image of Hitler may be altered
Generated, not altered. I don’t think this speech footage/image existed at all. The angle is weird along with the other points.
I’m not saying this image is generated, but it is at least a little bit weird that a reverse image search only shows this specific comparison. I even tried Google Images for a “Visual Match” instead of just Tineye, and nothing.
That, and Hitler’s eyes look weird, and the folded Nazi flags in the back look garbled. Circumstantially, it’d be extremely fucking weird if whoever planned this layout put a plant obstructing the view of the symbol on the podium. And what the hell would that cut-off, stark white symbol at the bottom right be?
I agree. It seems like nobody is willing to pay for quality anymore.
Elwood’s is the #1 choice among vegans.

Thankfully there’s a ‘Glass’ bin.
And per the school’s own admission, teachers recognized her as a former student and didn’t say anything at the time.
If you’re drawing that from:
Since our first communication, our initial investigation determined that this individual involved was a former student recognized by staff. [emphasis mine] She was not a substitute teacher. We did involve our Milwaukee Police Department school resource officers (SROs) the day that this occurred. The district’s Title IX coordinator was also notified. In addition to any police actions resulting from this situation, the district is continuing with its own investigation.
It seems extremely clear that what the letter is saying isn’t that the staff saw her impersonating a substitute and looked the other way; it’s that once the students reported her, staff who worked there were able to identify her as a former student.
If this isn’t what you were talking about and I’m missing something, I apologize.
If she had a gun, there would be a lot of dead students right now.
Milwaukee public schools use metal detectors.
This video specifically shows what Rufus King (this high school) does. You’re assuming her having a gun wouldn’t have changed this, but it would’ve. Because part of that “so much security theater” is scanning people who enter the school.
Do you know what schools have implemented in the effort to cut down on school shootings?
Yes, see the video above.
So much security theater just to allow someone like this to waltz into a classroom to openly berate children.
I don’t see the “so much” security theater you’re referring to, and it seems like she got very lucky. She appeared young enough to blend in with the other students but also appeared old enough to be a substitute teacher and had attended the high school not that long ago (and conveniently lived right across the street).
During her scouting the week prior, she “heard other staff in the main office talking about the substitute teacher agency and told the secretary she was a substitute”, so she had that established ahead of time. On the day she went into the classroom, eight of the approximately 70 teachers were absent, and one of those positions happened to be unfilled by a sub (something she couldn’t possibly have foreseen).
Incidentally, unrelated to your comment, here’s the local news source instead of the trash tabloid Metro.
There’s only so much piss a washing machine can take.
This made me wonder, so I looked it up:
Rest in piss, George Pell. 🥳
fuck you
I’m going to go read about convexity bias in the price of eurodollar swaps right now, just as soon as I finish watching the Last Week Tonight segment about the US Secret Service.
Then we’ll see who’s laughing.
backing up my “batshit claim”.
I said “it’d be a batshit claim if” followed by something that I acknowledged wasn’t true – a hypothetical. As in it would’ve been batshit to knowingly lie about that. I understood why you couldn’t read the article, but why you couldn’t understand this basic if/then statement is beyond me.
Here’s an archive of the article if you’re wanting to read it and having technical difficulties (or for anyone else who is; sorry, the Wayback Machine doesn’t capture the full article).
I was never going to assume you were lying about your experience if you claimed “there is no article”; it’d be such a batshit claim if you knew one existed.
Also stated at least three times in the article you didn’t read – as early as the second paragraph of the main prose.
There’s also, in Scarlet & Violet, Klawf al ajillo, which is just a soup of Klawf claw cooked in garlic, as well as Klawf sticks. This is in addition to a bunch of indistinct meats that seemingly also have to come from Pokémon. (Unless those meats are lab-grown, which seems plausible in a world where Pokémon can magically regenerate to full health at a Pokémon Center.)
Klawf can grow back their claws if they lose them, but organically losing their claws is definitely not how Klawf claws are being harvested for commercial sale.

What’s with the “hurr durr protein” thing, lately, anyway?)
Health fad being hugely exacerbated by RFK Jr.'s HHS as well as corporations taking advantage and further perpetuating the fad by slapping “high-protein” onto foods that are genuinely fucking terrible for you. (Edit: I like to call this “proteinwashing”.)
The RDA for protein is 0.8–1.0 g per kilogram of body weight. (Notably, RFK just upped it to 1.2 to 1.6 g, so if you’re using that figure, you’re using RFK’s new, vastly overinflated figure.) If you’re on a Western pattern diet like most Americans are, you’re basically guaranteed to be getting enough protein unless you’re bulking.
In addition to a corporate cash grab and a component in a far-right culture war against vegetarians and vegans, it’s also a distraction from how woefully deficient a Western pattern diet is in things like fiber – which only roughly 5% of Americans get enough of in their diets.
TL;DR: Protein is what plants crave.
What the fuck are you talking about? This is almost, technically true, except that the arrests were politically motivated by corrupt authoritarian governments, and it’s not even technically true either, as neither the Center for Civil Liberties (2022) nor Nihon Hidankyo (2024) have any criminal background. The last few winners are (interpreting “few” as “four” to be generous):
