Guy on Twitter pretends to be a teacher who's secretly transitioning kids into Christianity.

Uh oh - my third grade teacher frequently talked to the entire class about Jesus. She didn't try to hide it from parents, either.

Her name was Sister Vincent Marie.

A guy could make a good living selling sarcasm meters and trolling gauges to idiots like those that fell for Carpe Donktum's tweets.

Another example of someone wanting you to pay the price for their bad life choices

A plus-sized influencer has demanded the Federal Aviation Authority and airlines give overweight flyers as many free seats as they require to fly comfortably. 

Jaelynn Chaney, a travel and lifestyle creator based in Vancouver, wants the Federal Aviation Authority to 'protect' plus-sized travelers and make flying in coach 'comfortable and accessible for everyone.'

She also wants airlines to be forced to refund overweight passengers for any extra seats they're forced to purchase when booking to accommodate their size.

And she wants you to pay for it.

Chaney admits that price tickets would have to rise if she were to get her way, and concedes non-overweight passengers could be faced with higher ticket prices to help cover improvements.

How about you walk instead? You may even loose a ton or two.

I guess it would be unwoke for airlines to start talking about the carbon footprint of overweight passengers, and ask them to lose weight? For the planet?

Another one for the, "Are they this stupid, or are they just catering to the stupid vote?" file. Good grief.

(It shouldn't be OK to murder people, just because Daddy was a rapist. That's barbaric and evil. AOC should be objecting to that, instead of whatever it is she's doing.)

Where's that asteroid?

    People who identify as Adult Babies / Diaper Lovers face constant false accusations of pedophilia.

    They've been fired and even legally separated from their children for what experts call harmless interests.

    Nevertheless, the community continues to grow.https://t.co/SCe0RQLGPd

A little cheat. As the page is loading hit stop before the VIP warning loads. Sometimes you have to try, hit reload then stop, a few times to hit the right spot.

Using Firefox, I let the page load, then set Firefox for Reader View & was able to read the story. 

Wish I hadn't.

Anyway, it's a short piece on how some folks like to put on latex suits/costumes/? to look like female latex dolls.

I do that with Edge and it didn't really work on this page.  (perhaps just as well)

 SNL identifies as not/funny – pushes trans activism on kids instead of doing comedy

No, but I remember when the Onion was funny.

Yeah.  Humor is (usually) subversive.  It subverts our expectations... this creates tension, which we relieve with a laugh... sometimes this points to a hidden truth.

In a conservative culture, funny humor tends to be leftist... it pokes fun at the way society works, and may expose hidden hypocracy.

In a leftist culture like ours, there is no humor in being told the same thing ever major media and establishment ahole preaches at us 24/7.  There is no subversion of expectations with leftist humor now.... it's boring.

Who watches SNL anymore?  For me it is like CNN or MSNBC, the only time I hear about them or see them is when I see links like these.

Every once in a while they do something really funny.  I hear about it and go look up the clip.  Doesn't happen very often.  I probably miss out on a few good ones but that's okay -- I can't watch the show anymore; it's too cringe (and not in a good way)

John Cleese Says Cancel Culture Has Caused The 'Death Of Creativity' In Comedy

To be honest, even in the "good" years of SNL, only a few of the skits each week were really funny.  I imagine the "Best of SNL" compilations will skip over this period. 

Despite that, I am surprised at how many SNL skits form the 80's and 90's I remember from time to time.

A whole new meaning to "emergency kit":

Amber & I have compiled a true emergency kit for Briana & her friends. Plan-B, condoms, pregnancy tests. Just found out that I can add Narcan for free to that kit. I hope we never need to use it. But it will be there. You can see if you are eligible

It's for this sicko's 12 year old daughter and her friends.

Will probably be having their 2nd or 3rd child by then in some neighborhoods and communities

Now rice is destroying the planet. No doubt the administration will immediately penalize US rice farmers. In the meantime, here's the countries that produce the most rice:

Do you ever get the feeling that TPTB want to control our ready access to foodstuffs?  Or am I just being a paranoid reactionary bigoted useless eater?
