President Trump was in Saudi Arabia, where he spoke about the need for all religions to combat Islamic extremism.

And worship Jesus Christ.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

[Fascist loofa-faced shitgibbon]

I firmly believe that inside every Saudi, there's an American trying to get out.

Vice President Mike Pence delivered the commencement address at Notre Dame, telling students to be "men and women of integrity and values," dozens of whom walked out in protest.

Only the men and women walked out? None of the inbetweeners?

[DJF]

Do they still get their diplomas?

If they do then all this means is they arrived early for the after graduation parties.

[Fist of Etiquette]

The Congressional Budget Office is set to release its score of the GOP healthcare bill on Wednesday.

T for Tremendous. Plus.

[Bee Tagger]

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is asking Trump for funding for improvements to Penn Station to avert a "summer of agony."

Wouldn't it just totally blow your mind is this money came with a catch?

[Mickey Rat]

It is May, if there are not projects worki g already thrre is no way to avert anything this year.

Apparently the Federal government's railroad cannot make the trains run on time.

[Rhywun]

Fifty years of diverting maintenance funds into public sector pensions will have that effect.

Il Duce Redux's Pen and Phone retired January 20.

(I wish I was a graphic artist, I would create a flag with the Pen and Phone bound together a la the Fasces in place of the axe.)

[Bob K]

You mean like adding a stop direct to Trump Tower? This project will be huge otherwise Cuomo is a loser who couldn't get a deal done.

[Bee Tagger]

The Congressional Budget Office is set to release its score of the GOP healthcare bill on Wednesday.

I hope the score isn't a blowout like almost every NBA playoff game.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

Seriously, the last time the NBA was this top-heavy was probably the 60s when the Celtics and Lakers played in 6 out of the 10 Finals that decade. Watching games in this year's playoff series has been an exercise in masochism.

[Mickey Rat]

There was a time when it was not?

[Fist of Etiquette]

Two NASA astronauts on the International Space Station will conduct an emergency spacewalk to replace a failed computer.

They really put the space ctrl-alt-del keys in an inconvenient place.

VMWhere??

I'll wait for the CBO score.

"Here, queer, get over it." She's obviously protesting the Republicans' queers-into-ovens policy.

The Pentagon is reportedly going to examine its ability to recruit transgendere people, according to a memo seen by Reuters.

You can recruit trans people, you can recruit French people, but you can't recruit both.

[Fascist loofa-faced shitgibbon]

I hope they have fitness requirements so we don't get any trans-fat people.

[Rhywun]

Trans-fans are banned in NYC, thank god.

[Rhywun]

fats, too

Inside the Offices Where the Music Never Stops and Everyone Is DJ

The speakers never stop pumping music throughout the office at Codeword, a public relations agency in Manhattan. All day. Every day. Any song by any artist can play for the entire office at any time. In theory, at least, death metal, Gregorian chants, or Enya can fill the office before the 40 employees have finished their coffee.

Does anyone have experience working in an office like this one? It seems a nightmare not even the likes of 4Chan and Mike M. could dream up.

[Fist of Etiquette]

It's why they invented noise cancelling headphones.

[Citizen X - #6]

Simple Mikey doesn't care for music.

[Mickey Rat]

Office design trends seem to want to cater to extraverts with ADD. That is only personality type that is valued.

[Citizen X - #6]

Most of society is designed for extroverts, because it doesn't occur to introverts to try to create social structures that everyone has to conform to in order to successfully exist.

[Rhywun]

Who doesn't want to feel like they're working at Starbucks?

I would bet money that there is no way that "First Kill" by Amon Amarth gets all the way through before some SJW complains.

I can never tell when Seth Rogen is acting, and i don't know if that's my problem or his.

[Crusty Juggler aka "Chad"]

That just means he has top notch chops.

[Red Rocks Baiting n Inciting]

Since he plays the same character in every movie he's in, which is basically himself, it probably doesn't matter if he's acting or not.

What Minecraft Can Teach Kids About Economics and Life

Games like Minecraft and Roblox give virtually unlimited play to the imagination, and they provide decentralized platforms on which people can build, divide, or conquer ? or simply find a community of gamers with similar interests. The internet brings out the worst in us, but games like Minecraft and Roblox show how it can also bring out our best.

Middle school teacher, 36, convicted of sending nude selfies to EIGHT students aged 13-18, plying them with beer and having sex with them - but she claims she was 'blackmailed' into sending the lewd pictures

She admitted to sending photos of her breasts in 2014 to one of the boys, who was then 13, using Snapchat.

Another boy said he also received pictures on Snapchat in the summer of 2014, when he was 14, but McLaren said those photos were sent the following year.

McLaren admitted that she later met both boys on a local trail, where she drank beer with them and took them back to her car, where she 'fondled and kissed' them.

She then performed oral sex on both boys, she said. It was unclear how long after the pictures this incident occurred.

We're Piercing My Baby's Tongue. Here's Why.

My husband and I are devout Juggalos, and we want to raise our daughter to whoop-whoop with the rest of the family. It's important that our little dirtbag grows up with a solid understanding of our ideals, which include hanging out at Hot Topic but not buying anything, and suggestively licking at strangers across a crowded Applebee's. A pierced tongue is about more than just cracked teeth and cranial abscesses?it's about who you are and where you came from. And for us, our daughter came from my pussy, which is also pierced.

Anderson Cooper 'genuinely sorry' for 'crude' remark directed at Jeffrey Lord

"If he took a dump on his desk, you would defend it," Cooper told Lord. "I don't know what he would do that you would not defend."

I'd take a dump on his desk if you know what I...wait...no, no I would not take a dump on his desk.

[Citizen X - #6]

You should have thought of that before you did all those dumps on his desk.

Give the guy a break. He has PTSD from all the defecating he witnessed in the Super Dome during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Attention, "Disrupters": Art Is Not #Content

There's that word, disruption, endlessly pliable into verb and noun, easily applicable to any problem that tech people think they can fix. You just have to disrupt it! Change the way it's done! Turn it upside down! Uber for movies! But the problem is, Uber was a more sensible and convenient delivery system for a service. Netflix (and Prime Video, and whomever else) are a more sensible and convenient delivery system for an art form. You don't hack art ? or, at the very least, you shouldn't.

Stupid nerds.

[Rhywun]

I have no idea what this is supposed to be saying.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

1. Yes, it is.

2. Until they make you skip the "intro," mind your own fucking business, geeks. I can also fast-forward or skip ahead the titles myself, this simply makes it easier. I can also skip entire scenes I don't like, or mute the audio, or just not give a shit about what the artist is doing here or there.

At the Pentagon, overpriced fuel sparks allegations ? and denials ? of a slush fund

The Pentagon has generated almost $6 billion over the past seven years by charging the armed forces excessive prices for fuel and has used the money ? called the "bishop's fund" by some critics ? to bolster mismanaged or underfunded military programs, documents show.

Pentagon officials defended the arrangement.

[sarcasmic]

Progressives understand that integrity is a self limitation. Holding true to principles is for chumps. And values? That's just code for bigotry and hate.

[Palin's Buttplug]

President Trump was in Saudi Arabia, where he spoke about the need for all religions to combat Islamic extremism.

I'm told by wingnuts that if the POTUS just uses the term "Islamic extremism" that it will cause the terrorists to disarm and surrender within days.

[Crusty Juggler aka "Chad"]

You're very creative and witty - keep up the good work!

[Rufus The Monocled]

I enjoy his work immensely.

[OldMexican Blankety Blank]

Indeed, Trump's unwillingness to bomb their wedding parties with robot airplanes shows a lack of spine, unlike fearless and valiant Obama.

[Crusty Juggler aka "Chad"]

I believe Trump has been outpacing Obama's murder-droning in Yemen.

[DanO.]

What the Muslim East needs is a strongman to knock a few heads together, force them to the bargaining table, make them an offer they can't refuse, seal the deal and make it home in time for 9 holes. Cheeto is that strongman. He will get this done. Believe him. Believe him.

"AP Exclusive: UN health agency slammed for high travel costs"
[...]
" Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, traveled to Guinea earlier this month to join the country's president in celebrating the world's first Ebola vaccine.
After praising health workers in West Africa for their triumph over the lethal virus, Chan spent the night in the presidential suite at the beach-side Palm Camayenne hotel. The suite, equipped with marble bathrooms and a dining room that seats eight, has an advertised price of 900 euros ($1,008) per night.
[...]
According to internal documents obtained by The Associated Press, the U.N. health agency routinely has spent about $200 million a year on travel expenses, more than what it doles out to fight some of the biggest problems in public health, including AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined."
