I was thinking it was someone in Kansas viewing NYC as somewhere where people go the bathroom everywhere but in the toilet.

in kansas they just stand like cattle, pooping and staring

in NYC they have a brand and shit straight into the toilet

Karl Malone, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 03:55 (one year ago) link

I beg to differ. Kansas has a brand. It is just a tired, old, unattractive brand, like Pepto-Bismol or Ovaltine.

Their charade is the event of the season, iirc.

a man often referred to in the news media as the Duke of Saxony (tipsy mothra), Wednesday, 28 September 2022 05:15 (one year ago) link

But he's too immersed in the right-wing media ecosystem to realize that the reference doesn't land with people outside of it.

It lands exactly where he wants his - his fellow travelers nod and chuckle "got 'em haha" and liberals correctly call him an idiot and his fellow travelers look on in adoration as he once again owned the libs.

One thing about Kansas is that it has spawned many weirdos, some of whom leave and some of whom stay. Because of its overwhelmingly conservative body politic, it has also often been at the forefront of the culture wars, bringing attention to people and elements in society that would eventually become more widely accepted.

In other words, it is useful as a foil. the KC metro area and Lawrence are okay— otherwise, a pit.

table, are you perhaps saying that something is the matter with Kansas?

lol the "We go in the toilets" thing is likely a nod to the right wing conspiracy theory about cat-identifying students demanding litter boxes in schools.

President Keyes, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 15:09 (one year ago) link

"We believe murders are rare"?

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 28 September 2022 15:15 (one year ago) link

OK, Kansas is 41st in the nation in murders per capita.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 28 September 2022 15:17 (one year ago) link

More murderers than victims, especially in the state legislators..

I didn’t want to go there, but yes. It’s also the subject of one of the chapters of Dying of Whiteness— Kansas used to have some of the most robust, well-funded, and highest-ranked public education institutions in the country, from elementary on up. As Republicans and the white evangelical movement have taken hold and defunded public education in the state, life outcomes and educational attainment have dropped precipitously.

More sociopaths than in gen pop, that's for sure.

toilets thing also re making sure no trans in wrong bathrooms?

At first I assumed he was talking about public urination

President Keyes, Wednesday, 28 September 2022 16:18 (one year ago) link

Ovaltine is good you take that back

I agree it's good, but unless someone drank it a few decades ago they probably don't know it's good and would never bother finding out.

not to put too fine a point on it, but Biden has a lot to occupy his attention just about every minute of every day and the accidental death of a House Representative might never have been brought to his attention and if it were it could be crowded out and forgotten pretty easily without any need for dementia to explain it.

Important. And clever way of finding a plaintiff with an injury concrete enough to confer standing.

This lawsuit has a serious chance of success. https://t.co/w9rFY8MsWi

Newsom is one of the most loathsome motherfuckers in the Democratic party, and that’s saying something

The entire corporate executive and political class of the United States (or really Planet Earth) are all some loathsome motherfuckers.

SD-22 is a safely Democratic seat in Phoenix but the Democratic nominee suddenly, without telling anyone on the ground, quit the race so he could become a lobbyist for a utility company
