            My personal favorite is when God opened the earth and had it eat a bucnh of rebel leaders. Then shortly after threw a fireball from Heaven and burned up the other 250 rebels. And these were His own people, I wonder what he would do to a bunch of heathens…

            Heh. I’m a (sort of) practising Jew and even I have my favourite “embarassing” Bible verses. Of which the best has to be Judges 1:19: “And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.” God, powerless against iron? Oops.

            Of course there’s this strip by Mr. Willis about the Danish cartoon which showed Mohammad and got the Danish Embassy in (I think) Syria on fire which is really both funny and demented at the same time… About how drawing Mohammad is forbidden and so Mr. Willis had the power to weaken gods (Which he of course abused) and got set on fire for…

    Surprise surprise… Billie does in fact NOT remember Joyce even though Joyce was the ONLY ONE WHO GAVE ENOUGH OF A DAMN to check and see if Billie was alright…(Personally I woulda kicked her while she was down) -_-

        Thats true…She *seemed* sober during and after the meeting (or at least I think according to her twitter posts “Whats a useless and sober Friday night.”) but I wouldn’t be surprised if she DID go and get drunk afterward, especially with no roommate to snitch on her being out after hours (since they don’t allow alcohol on the premises)

        …oh wait, nvm that last post kinda did look like she was drunk afterward..you’re right. D :

        :/ I really want Billie to die and I guess its that bias that made me believe she was just a horrible person and forgot about the one person who made sure she was alright and labeled Joyce as some faceless stranger she yelled/ “hazed” at even though she was just trying to help.

        At least Mike is FUNNY and hes nice/ happy when hes drunk >_<;

    Ah… so Joyce is going to be something of a bible-thumper. Hopefully she’s too sweet to be revealed as the obnoxious judgmental kind who going to start condemning everyone to hell when she realizes that they’re all not good little bible kids like her.

    To say nothing whenever everyone starts revealing themselves to be gay…

      There shall be some confusion probably. She wouldn’t be delibrately a dick, I don’t see that being her style, but she’d be decidedly awkward when her good and kind nature and god-is-love thing conflicts perhaps with her religions beliefs (or particular sects beliefs at least). She might even say that it’s ‘wrong’ but deep down a part of her feels that wouldn’t be fair or she’d grow to realise how unfair it would be.

      Joyce is rather refreshing in my book and I have met some christians like her- they’re well meaning but just… don’t think things through or how things sound like, she wouldn’t be the HELL-FIRE! brand or the type of person who makes it sound like they can’t WAIT for you to reach eternal damnation. She’d genuinely want to ‘save’ you and thinks that her religion would make you happy. She has good intensions even if they’re misplaced.

Harsh, but fair
To teach my kids a lesson about socialism, I gave all my kids a list of chores that I thought they could handle, but set their allowances at the same level. 

Then I had the CIA murder me and install a puppet dad.

I hope Josh Johnson is given The Daily Show and is allowed to rebuild it from scratch in his own image just like Jon Stewart got to do in 99. He has built his own groundbreaking form of topical comedy, and imitating the style of others is something he is great at, but better than.

do you think Mario, Luigi, and the Princesses have, like, existential crises about the baby versions of themselves also just casually being next to them in all the races like I would be having ego death right now, not leaping triumphantly

Normally I’d let this sort of thing just die out but an alarming amount of you have asked where you can buy this and my wife had to have an emergency surgery the day before I made this, so here is my chance to live the American Dream (selling print-on-demand shirts to pay down medical debt)

Woman in line in front of me at the post office is not happy about the cost of shipping. She just whipped out her phone, asked ChatGPT how much it thinks the shipping should cost, and is trying to get the mailman to honor that price.

Politico & Punchbowl report House Republican leadership is shutting down the Rules Committee - which is essential for moving party-line bills on the floor - for the week rather than vote on Democratic amendments on the Epstein files. Dems have effectively halted Republican legislation in the House:

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.
