My Trump-supporting friends and relatives mean well. I honestly believe they do. Today, though, I’m a little irritated with them. They refuse to believe that the bomber is real.
They say his van looks fake. Why would he put all those stickers on it?
It’s gotta be fake. That’s not something Republicans do.
It makes no sense! It’s a false flag operation! That van is a caricature of what Democrats think we are!
We’re not a bunch of weirdos! This is all made up to help them win the midterms. That van is too fucking weird to be real.

The AO3 Tag of the Day is: True aesthetic dedication
Spouse is an engineer and I’m here to say steam DOES get hot, but it is quite possible to make a steam-powered vibrator that doesn’t. Think of a steam locomotive, where the boiler is kept hot but the wheels, which are powered by the boiler, do not.
So you have a boiler by the bed and then TUBES and LINKAGES, GEARS, COPPER, all the good stuff. Hell, the steam might even be used to generate electro-magnetism! So it weighs 30kg (about 65lbs). It’s awesome! Beautiful! Scientific! LOUD.
CHUNKA-CHUNKA-CHUNKA

The most common Victorian era steam powered vibe was called “The Manipulator” and it was a weighty beast. This is the most common photo of it.
Behold. The Fuckinator.
Work for a sex toy company. Can confirm. The history of things-that-have-been-stuck-in-snatches is fascinating and horrifying.
Interestingly, the electric vibrator (invented in the 1880s) is credited as the fifth household electric appliance, after the teakettle, sewing machine, fan, and toaster.
So the feds caught that guy who was mailing nail bombs to Democrats. To nobody’s surprise, dude is an old white MAGA chud. Who woulda thought.
Our prediction is that, pretty soon, outlets like InfoWars and other right-populist media are gonna “”“uncover”“” some “”“proof”“” that this guy is some kinda secret liberal somehow, and Trump et al will start toasting marshmallows over that smoldering Reichstag
Here’s your boy’s panel van. These aren’t collages of individual stickers, they’re custom-printed vinyl sheets. I *think* he *might* be, uh, emotionally invested.
Local news channels here in Jacksonville have been covering this on Facebook. All the Trumpflakes all over our fair state are calling it fake. It’s fun to read. Their biggest claim is that it’s obviously fake because the stickers are too fresh.
Even better, in its coverage Fox news is censoring the stickers
His van was spotted by Lesley Abravanel November of last year. The stickers aren’t new by far so that fun little theory can get thrown in the trash lmfao
We were driving to a restaurant and wanted to see how long the wait was. My dad handed me the phone book and asked me to look up the number. I, for whatever reason, thought he said “get rid of this”. So I opened the window and chucked the phone book while we were going 70 MPH down the highway.
great
I stuck my hand in a bowl of soup simply because I hadn’t before.

When I was maybe 10-12, I threw one of my dad’s golf clubs that had no head on it like a spear down the hallway after telling my brother it would be cool.

One time I was eating a lemon poppyseed muffin. The phone rang, so I reacted by shoving the entire muffin my mouth and eating it as fast as I could, nearly choking to death, and I didn’t even make it to the phone before it stopped ringing.
huge mood
Gave my sister a piggyback when she was giving my other sister a piggyback at the same time
thank you for your service
When I was at my grandparents’ house over Christmas, my Pop-pop mistakenly put a glass plate of sausage patties on one of the stovetop burners. This went unnoticed for several minutes until his wife walked in, turned off the burner, and scolded him for putting the plate there.
He responded by trying to move it with his bare hand and immediately pulled his hand back because HOT.
I’m gonna let you guess what my dumb ass did literally a second later as I listened to my Pop-pop being told off for being dumb enough to burn his hand.
I picked the fucking plate up and burned the crap out of my fingers.
