Start a war? No! The IDF even withdrew from the area before the attack, that’s how much they didn’t want a war!

Tell that to the state of Texas, for one.

Su-u-u-ure the rabbit didn’t have anything to do with anything. That exactly what a guilty rabbit would say.

Sure it is. The Roman Empire, for example, isn’t ever going to re-normalize relations with its allies.

Nothing is ever permanent… including nations and empires.

Just to recap what we may have forgotten:

1. Netanyahu knew the attack was coming.
2. IDF forces (that Hamas had planned to attack) were unaccountably withdrawn from the area when it started.
3. A lot of the deaths and destruction at the kibbutzes were the result of IDF fire.
4. In the Hamas videos, a lot of the attackers seemed confused and put off by finding civilians rather than soldiers as their targets.

Now, not to get all conspiracy-brained, but I have to wonder whom to condemn for the Oct. 7th civilian death toll.

You can perhaps tell who the elderly are, if they ask if you’re reluctantly crouched at the starting line.

Does it, though? These jokes may superficially resemble each other solely because they involve non-white people, but one joke comes down to “all Chinese people be like,” while the other is about Kash Patel in particular. One is stereotyping an entire ethno-linguistic group, and the other is about the actions of one specific man. At a fundamental level, that’s very different, I think.

I guess I don’t understand how the joke is the same. Is “Ching Ching Chong ping pong” the Mandarin translation of “crypto scammer,” or “nominative determinism,” or “the universe is too on-the-nose”?

Fine, all that they really need to run is one headline every day: “Dementia Grandpa Says Some Stupid Shit.” It’s evergreen.

Sad. Back in the day, everybody could tell by the pixels that it was 'shopped.

Perhaps a variant on the trucker’s hitch? (Assuming that this was used to tie the canoe to the roof of a car.) As for tying it, it looks like you tuck a bight in the running end behind the standing end, and pull it through the loop formed by doing so. Edit: No, on second look, it’s not that.

Unknown reason? The only unknown here is which animal Kash banged.

Shoulda been in Gitmo on January 21, 2021. If they want a unitary executive, give it to them.

I do believe that joke is that in the 1990s, the meme viewer was young, and saw people in their 30’s as old and decrepit, but in 2026, the meme viewer is old, and sees people in their 30’s as babies. (The comparison about spending a lot more time outdoors and in the sun might hold true for the 1890’s.)

That’s where I see it differently: I started college back when, then returned much later to finish my degree, and found that the students were somewhat more mature. They kind of had to be, what with everything (admissions standards, tuition costs, housing costs, managing social media presence) in life getting harder. People in their 30’s back in the '90s had more breathing room to fuck around, and still do okay. The difference isn’t really that profound, and for the most part people then were a lot like people now.

I think these labels are reversed.

Health* to America!

It started in 2015; the articles and commentators pointed out the famous longitudinal study of nuns that found that loss of vocabulary was one of the early indicators of dementia, and that his vocabulary had noticeably shrunk (“big” and “beautiful” taking over for many other adjectives). It was during his first term that somebody pegged it as frontotemporal dementia specifically.

Keep in mind the difference between “he’s dying” and “he’s lost it.” With this form of dementia, a person’s life expectancy after (early) diagnosis can be many years. Six or seven years from the first clear symptoms to the stage we see now is not atypical. I’m not a doctor, but my educated guess is that he won’t croak for several years yet, especially with an elite medical team providing treatment, but he probably won’t be coherent enough for a third term, even by MAGA standards of coherency.

The bad feeling didn’t start when the cabinet members moved into housing on military bases?
