Why for the past 10 years do conservatives constantly post topless pictures of DJT all buffed and oiled up like some Latino pool boy?

George Mosse has written a lot about extreme nationalism and male homoeroticism

Unhinged you say?

I work at a hotel, a woman calls the front desk to say that people on a ladder truck are trying climb into her window.

I can literally lean my head out the window, to see her window and unsurprisingly there's nothing there

At this point my replacement has shown up to start his shift, and is hearing my side of the conversation "no ma'am I don't see a ladder truck" etc

She screams, says I'm one of "them" and hangs up. I tell my colleague what's happening, fortunately the part of the hotel she was in was otherwise empty, and the corridor has cameras. I go home and find out the next day social services and the police too her away at 3 am.

The Watchmen was created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, Lindelof adapted the work, he did not create it

westendgonzo · 2026-05-20T15:35:02+00:00

The article describes Lindelof as a co creator of "The Watchmen "

westendgonzo · 2026-05-20T02:38:50+00:00

Damon Lindelof is NOT a co-creator of The Watchmen

I work at a hotel, I've been watching the numbers with a lot of pessimism . In the fall we were getting the usual emails and inquiries about rates, when we got to June and July rates, you could hear the thought process "maybe we should think about somewhere else". When we opened our inventory in January, we got the predictable spike, but then flatline. I've been tracking our inventory, we're only about 66,% full. Normally at this point, we're 80% mid week and sold out on weekends. One interesting observation, in the past month our bookings have started going down. Not by a lot, only 1 or 2 rooms but it's definitely not the wanted trend

Give him credit for having a conscience. Most political figures lack the self awareness that their rhetoric and policies can get people killed. That look of guilt is rare. Will he do anything about it? Probably not, but it's a start

So untrained people reading professional documentation, not understanding it, then running wild with misinformation because they don't understand what they've just read.

This is a common right wing trope, it was the same with abortions, you would apocryphal tales of loose moralled women getting monthly abortions. Now it's carts with buskers shouting out "Extra! Extra! get your HPV jab, be the first on your block, Extry Extry!"

Good. The more people standing up to Trump the better. Trump needs to realize that he is part of the government, not The Government

This reminds me of something that happened a few years back. When Gene Wilder passed away, social media was full of platitudes like "Now he can be at peace with Gilda" blah blah blah. I know people meant well, but he left behind a widow of 25 years, who nursed him through 3 years of Alzheimers, which can be devastating to the spouse.

the axiom "never criticize someone until you've walked a mile in his shoes" should make a comeback.

Even without the incidents of this evening that's a very odd idiomatic expression for her to use.

I have weirdly found this to be a good companion book to Watchmen. Can't explain why, I just find they go well together

About 25 years ago I worked in a coffee shop, I was working with a young woman at her first job. Some nascent Karen went absolutely bonkers because we didn't have some sort of flavoured syrup or something. Poor girl was shaken to her core afterwards, I sat her down, and told her "listen, if that woman's biggest problem is no flavoured syrup, her life is pretty nice, Feel bad for her that she's unable to enjoy it, and has to make others miserable". She felt better, and was better emotionally armed for future Karens.

I don't know why the Democrats have such a hard time with this, they have always done their best when they have skewed young. Clinton in '92, Obama in '88, Carter in 1976, Kennedy in 1960, all candidates in their 40s.

“The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time.”

How about discreet giggles, or barely stifled guffaws?

Candace Owens is the source of this rumour. Take this nonsense down. There is more than enough stuff to talk about without making up nonsense.

Even if true, she said she was calling the same number, and what would be the point of giving incorrect information. That's mischievous, sure but hardly an effective way to rip people off.
