I think there was hilariously awful polling data sent around Republicans that antivax positions are completely toxic for the next election cycle. The problem for them and society as a whole, is that wingnuts don't give a gently caress and just want to win primaries, and conservative media doesn't give a gently caress, they just want to make money.

Ah yes you see the solution for erosion in a structure in the desert is to plant grass seed on it and let the grass grow.



go look up how an "oxbow lake" happens

erosion will eventually put this wall entirely in Mexico even if it doesn't knock it down lol

I remember seeing some really cool art deco stuff, especially furniture pieces made by local steelworks in the museums in Cleveland, so I think it's a nice fit for the vibe of the city in the mind of me, a guy who once spent a couple days in Cleveland

"guardians" also slots nicely into any chants that included the team's previous name

Lmao there is a small problem with following the river that close

The border doesn't actually follow the river, its as much as several miles away from it in quite a few places because the river has shifted so much in the hundred years or whatever since the border was last adjusted. My grandmother grew up on a farm that is on this side of the river, but the family lost it because its in Mexico now. We used to go down to the border and look at it when our parents were bored

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

If you have purchased a data set of user locations (thanks Verizon!), it would be relatively trivial to identify each unique identifiers' most-frequented landmarks and then go fishing to see who's in the middle of the Venn diagram of church facilities vs. dens of iniquity. Translating from an identifier to a person is theoretically impossible, unless they ever go home.

It looks like this is what happened. Grindr sold their database to an aggregator and a tradcath website bought it as a journalist. Since it's Grindr they just went looking for id's that showed up at UCCB events and presumably other high-level Catholic locations, then backtracked to find residences. I have no idea how many high-profile priests are on Grindr, but I suspect there are a few sweaty Roman collars right now because I doubt he's going to be the last one outed here.

Pretty sure this will be the conservative outrage for the next couple of days

Edit: this is amazing, he's taking the vibe of like some the gayer corners of bounce and actually making it gayer and more mainstream. If you like this stuff check out Sissy Nobby (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAlqJgIO_KM), which actually has a bunch of dudes dancing their dicks in the middle of the song and is still somehow less gay than Lil Nas X videos.

Someone should try to tease this out with conservative law makers, if for no other reason than to get more stringent privacy laws in place.

slightly dingy little mom n pop type place mostly staffed by immigrants from the former bloc. Only things on the menu are salted beef, potatoes and eggs

I remember the costume stuff being pretty cool. David Bowie and Michael Jackson alone have like an entire section.

You can also rent a Tiki Barge to see the wondrous scenery along the industrial section of the Cuyahoga river.



Cleveland is in kind of a weird place right now. There's a lot of push for modernization and improvement of some public areas, but then you go two blocks and it's like walking into the shittier parts of a third world country.

I was a fan of the proposals with a Commodore Perry theme like the Cleveland Commodores or Cleveland Commanders, but literally anything is better than the current team name, so Go Guardians I guess.

The only thing that could have been done better is if they had the Soul Calibur announcer announce the countries during the parade. "Welcome, to the stage of history!" and then some country with like 4 athletes walks in. It could have been really epic.
