A Las Vegas performer is suing Taylor Swift for trademark infringement over her latest album’s “showgirl” branding. Swift’s 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” was announced in August and debuted in October. The glitzy album art, complete with art deco imagery and glamorous feathered outfits, centered burlesque aesthetics for Swift’s newest era. In a lawsuit filed Monday, singer and…

I do not like that Donquixote submarines exist.

They're cute but I hate that they are a thing. Stick to the sky where you belong and get the fuck out of the deep. Thematically wrong!

The lie that shut down life itself has been acknowledged by the liars.  Fabulists who distorted willingly are very sorry.  You may not think they’re sincere for some reason.  Five years later, those who knew China’s lab leak infected the world, copying the infector’s infringements only made things worse, rights remained supreme despite mocking by Quislings, gubernatorial dictators are as inept as they are drunk with power, shots are not necessarily vaccines, and masks are as useless as the material used to make them remain vindicated.  There will naturally be no compensation.

That Chinese lab sure was leaky.  The middling Middle Kingdom should try plastic wrap over windows you seal with a hair dryer.  Does the people’s republic allow such decadent items?  Earth’s most notorious remaining hammer and sickle hive made everyone diseased.  I would rather have not had my red menace-style paranoia confirmed, but the ominous force consumed the globe like a Why We Fight animation.

The arsonists who helped China incinerate civilization have now granted permission to condemn napalm.  You can finally speak the truth thanks to a benevolent decision by guardians of the narrative.  You’ll still be punished for noting they’re the ones who lied like it was their job and suppressed those who noticed.

Moe hit Larry as punishment for dropping the beaker.  The belated apology for a fib that shut down the planet on behalf of commie stooges who will have to suffice.  Oh, and Hunter Biden’s laptop existed.

You’ll never guess what else promoted as absolute truth turned out to be claptrap.  Would you believe masks did as little as the virtue signal they embodied?  You would?  Well, that worked out.  I also start to suspect that eating while drinking in a bar didn’t keep anyone safe.  Politicians who’ve never figured out that taking money from the economy harms it surely grasped epidemiology.

Truth wins out.  It just took the loss of everything that makes us human.  Those who embraced a lie conveniently used governmental force to ensure compliance.  Stalling growth as individuals and a society is the price of being kept in peril.  I am starting to suspect that not everyone has affordably awesome insurance by mandate.

An ideology based around coercion just needed an excuse.  A virus was the interventionists’ time to shine.  Telling others what to do is of supreme importance if you’ve decided everyone’s lives are on the line.  Questioning unsubstantiated claims is so unscientific.  You probably still oppose dumping sand in skate parks.

Trauma remains.  Waking up wondering if you can catch your breath is just the start.  Mocking you for wanting little things like rights added a bit of flair to bullying.  Democrats think rights are only for gangsters whose illegal immigration was just the start of crimes.

We can’t undo the damage.  Those responsible should’ve known that even before they sentenced everyone to time in the hole.  Holding back society for a grade has led to a remedial performance.  Failures clearly haven’t learned the lesson.  Capricious despots would sequester everyone again upon hearing a cough.  The precedent of deciding a governor can keep you from getting a haircut if there’s a virus about was all the goons wanted.  Failure is irrelevant.  To them, installing fear is the success.  Asking where the option to commandeer autonomy stems from is for Constitution-reading nerds.  Duh: it’s from winning an election.

Those who think government is the source of safety, decency, and love are confused by your contrarian contempt.  They’re unable to even consider the possibility that authority comes from consenting citizens.  The idea that power could be limited horrifies those who know capitals are the source of prosperity and bliss.  Journalists doing the bidding of kingpins didn’t want to criticize China because the benevolent tyranny exemplifies their preferred governing style.  Vigorous hall monitors create a different kind of sickness.  

Liberals only have the feeling that they help.  You don’t have to feel bad for them.  Self-righteous types shrieked about heartless corporate tycoons who treated profits as more important than people.  The useless refuse to discover that business is nothing more than creating value.  I’m sorry to report we need those things, but at least you’ll get paid for production.  At least, you once did.  Kindly rational overlords who made children sit apart on blacktop during lunch for society’s safety treated the economy like a machine that can be turned on and off.  The switch doesn’t seem to be working.

Those who nailed your doors shut to compensate for your dangerous incorrect breathing shrug off damage inflicted, which was the worst symptom of all.  Idling apart was for the collective good.  Yes, it went collectively bad.  But at least you weren’t racist for noticing the atrocities actually committed by a calculatingly diabolical communist outpost.

If you think identifying the culprit who sneezed on everyone is shocking, wait until you hear about everything else.  Dissenters were also right that Black Lives Matter is a riot creator based on unfounded white guilt.  America is not a racist hellhole any more than it is a kingdom where subjects need a czar’s permission to do anything.  Man, 2020 was not fun.

Victims waiting for an apology should take a deep breath.  At least it’ll be unfiltered.  Your tormenters still think you owe one to them.  Sure, we would’ve endured a rough flu by choosing sensible precautions.  And governors who claimed they were saving us could’ve skipped shoving the infected into communal residences for the most vulnerable.  But they kept you safe aside from the keeping you safe part, and the ideology of control that peaked by dragging us to the nadir is all about promises.

Hello, everyone,

I’m sure others have already posted about this, but I’d love to share this myself anyway, so that it reaches as many people as possible.

A person from Mark's Discord pointed out that there's a website that sells knock-off versions of the official, and now of course discontinued, UA merch. They also seem to be selling UA fanart made by other people and without their consent or permission.

Mark's mods already know, so the information should find its way to Mark himself eventually, but please, if you recognise any of the artworks on the website and happen to know the artist, let them know asap, so that they can take action.

This is the website.

And here are some of the artworks I recognise, but don't know the artists behind them:

This "article" is full of so many inconsistencies and out right lies. It is making the case that un-serialized firearms (The article bounces back and forth between "receivers" and firearms in an effort to confuse the reader and encapsulate more firearms that 80% lower.) are something new'ish. That's just not the case, firearms were not even required to have serial numbers on them until after the passing of the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA). Prior to that firearms makers were not required to have any form of sequential markings to track their items. I personally own several pre-1968 firearms that have no serial numbers, under this proposed change those would all be considered "ghost guns" (Another made up political term.) But they want you to think this is just about 80% lowers. "Converting the piece of metal into a firearm is relatively simple and takes only a few hours. A drill press or a metal cutting machine known as a Computer Numeric Control, or CNC, is used to create a few holes in the receiver and well out a cavity. The receiver is then combined with a few other parts to create a fully functioning semi-automatic rifle or handgun.)" Clearly, they have never tried to build one without access to a CNC or a proper mill. I have, and I can tell first hand as someone with years of shop time it's not a project that will be done in just a few hours with a drill press. These are images from the first one I made. It took two days and 2 drill presses. Drill presses are not made for the kind or lateral pressure that is placed on them by "milling" on a drill press. There are systems out there that use hand routers that look like one could really speed up the time and process on but even then a person needs more than a high school shop class to get the work done right.
