Colin Allred's quote:

“You can’t be for the mob on January 6 and for the officers. You can’t. I was on the House floor when we went through the votes. I remember when you objected to the results in Arizona. Y’all at home might remember where you were on January 6, what you were doing. I know where I was, and I know where he was. I remember when they told us to reach under our seats for these gas masks I didn’t know we had because they had deployed tear gas in the rotunda. The officers locked all the doors, we barred the doors… And I texted my wife Aly, who was seven months pregnant with our son Cameron and at home with our son Jordan who wasn’t yet two, “Whatever happens, I love you.” I took off my suit jacket, and I was prepared to defend the House floor from the mob. At the same time, after he’d gone around the country lying about the election, after he’d been the architect of the attempt to overthrow an election, when that mob came, Senator Cruz was hiding in a supply closet."

WHAT WAS HE HIDING

That he wanted six extra meatballs?

Trump is too old and senile to be President. This is pathetic, he doesn't even know where he is. Republicans should be ashamed of themselves for nominating him, at this point it basically constitutes elder abuse.

Much as it offends some who read us, we will continue to tell the truth about Trump.

To quote Ben Shapiro if I may... "Facts don't care about your feelings." Trump's a traitor who incited a violent insurrection and continuing to support him after what happened on 1/6 makes you one too.

“I get it. My affiliation with a people search business may look odd from the outside,” Shelest’s statement reads. “In truth, if I hadn’t taken that initial path with a deep dive into how people search sites work, Onerep wouldn’t have the best tech and team in the space. Still, I now appreciate that we did not make this more clear in the past and I’m aiming to do better in the future.”

Who better to fix the problem than me, it’s creator!” He’s not exactly wrong, it is possible to reform and become an industry leader combating the issue you were once guilty of doing yourself. There are countless examples of that throughout the history of the tech space. However, you absolutely cannot hide that kind of background if you are looking to operate in the privacy and cybersecurity sectors. Doing so is incredibly shady and not the behavior of someone who’s turned white hat.

Mozilla had no option but to walk away immediately and I’m glad they did. They can’t afford to have this stink on their reputation. It’s unfortunate that this information’s only come to light now though.

Yeah, they kept sending me emails begging me to invest. Reddit’s IPO is a fucking clown car headed toward a cliff.

Cookie Monster is onto something: OREO Double Stuf Chocolate Sandwich Cookies shrank by 6% in size by weight from January 2019 to October 2023, according to a report based on Labor Department numbers.

Double Stuffed Oreos are the new regular Oreos and regular Oreos are now 'go fuck yourself' sized.

That's a pretty fast turn around on walking it back. I guess the backlash was intense. Too little too late though, I'm done with Wendy's. I don't care how they spin it now, we all know this wasn't ever going to benefit customers or reduce strain on staff, it was just a scheme to price gouge during lunch/dinner rush. The fact that they even considered doing this is enough reason to never give them my business again.

Kirk Tanner's only been CEO for 3 weeks and immediately started in with this fuckery. It'll be interesting to see how many more Mooches he lasts.

I would still encourage the people of Alabama to be highly skeptical of any assurances made by these Republicans in the state. Their word is worthless.

1994: If you don't straighten up and take your education seriously you're gonna end up living in a van down by the river!

2024: If you don't straighten up and take your education seriously you'll never be able to afford to live in a van down by the river!

Don't worry, conservatives still have Kid Rock, that dude from Staind, Gene Simmons, and Ted "shit himself to avoid the draft" Nugent. Truly the best of the best, huh?
