Saturday Night Live caught it perfectly with the cold open when Amy Poehler hosted with Pam Bondi having a book of comebacks.

Doesn't matter.  Mouth breathers of this nation are all in agreement that Tylenol is bad and nothing will change their minds.

Congrats to Wisconsin, by far the leading state for bird flu detections - 3,572,020.

Washington is next at 1,965,700, followed by Minnesota at 710,720. No other state has more than 133,000.

(All data from the USDA.)


Wholesale turkey prices are already up 40%.

We always got a free turkey at our local super market. No different this year.

Do the other states not bother to detect?

[tower912]

Michigan does.

Interesting.  Wonder what is going on in Wisconsin.

Don't worry, Texas's AG is still suing Tylenol's parent company.

And people will vote for him, too!  We're such a dumb and proud of it country.

I'd say "unbelievable," but it's all too believable. Just like so much else going on in today's American autocracy.

Felony dropped after a man spent a month in a Tennessee jail for a Charlie Kirk post

https://apnews.com/article/charlie-kirk-meme-tennessee-arrest-larry-bushart-02b445f454bcfb657a48e8fa7e8ddfc9?

Authorities in Tennessee have dropped a felony charge against a man who was jailed for more than a month over a Facebook post he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Whereas many people across the U.S. lost their jobs over social media comments about Kirk's death, Larry Bushart's case stood out as one of the few instances where such online speech has led to criminal prosecution.

His arrest — on a charge of threatening mass violence at a school — alarmed free speech advocates, who said Perry County Sheriff Nick Weems had targeted Bushart because of his political views. Bushart was released Wednesday after prosecutors sought to dismiss the charge.

Bushart, a 61-year-old former law enforcement officer, (posted) a meme featuring President Donald Trump and the words, "We have to get over it." That quote, the meme explained, was said by Trump last year after a school shooting at Iowa's Perry High School.

Posting the meme, Bushart wrote: "This seems relevant today..."

Weems told news outlets that most of Bushart's "hate memes" were lawful free speech, but residents were alarmed by the school shooting post, thinking Bushart was threatening the local Perry County High School, even though Weems said he knew the meme was referencing a school in Iowa.

"Investigators believe Bushart was fully aware of the fear his post would cause and intentionally sought to create hysteria within the community," Weems said in a statement to The Tennessean last month.

He said Bushart was arrested after refusing to delete the post. His bail was set at $2 million.

Imagine if he posted a meme of himself defecating on America

Stop with the politics.

Before you post any more crap, think: "what kind of doom is this?  Planet killing?  Pestilence?  Disease?  Societal or economic collapse?"

That's doom.
