On this day 32 years ago, an episode of The Simpsons titled "Homer Loves Flanders" first aired in the United States. In one scene, Homer appears from the bushes and surprises his neighbors, inviting them to spend the day together. When they decline, Homer backs into the bushes and disappears.
@SpanbergerForVA Hello, I’m here from the future and I don’t have much time before I have to go back but before I go I need you to know that this tweet is gonna make you look like a massive hypocrite in 2025 when you run for Governor of Virginia
This is good news for Virginia and the country. Gerrymandering is detrimental to our democracy and it weakens the individual voices that form our electorates. Opposing gerrymandering should be a bipartisan priority.
Iran is often reduced to headlines about politics.
But behind them stands one of the oldest continuous civilizations on Earth, where architecture, poetry, and faith shaped beauty for over 2,500 years.
Here’s a journey through Iran’s architectural splendor. 🧵
Dear Greenland,
It looks as if though you could become Americans any day now. Congratulations! But beware: it is not a title you should take lightly. We welcome you into the fold as our countrymen, but there are some things you should know before you run out and buy a Camaro and a Kid Rock tee shirt. The following guide is my gift to you, a sort of Cliff’s Notes on the greatest country the world has ever known.
Enjoy and hope to see you soon,
The Drunk Republican
- YOU SPEAK ENGLISH NOW! AND ONLY ENGLISH!
- We are literally better than everyone else.
- Danish isn’t a culture, it’s a pastry.
- All of our states are different but they’re also all kind of the same (you’ll see).
- We don’t eat fucking whale meat, we eat pigs and cows and sometimes birds.
- Football means football. The other “sport” is soccer.
- Speed limits are suggestions.
- Disneyland isn’t cool anymore. Don’t go there. All pedos.
- Tacos get lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream. Go to Mexico if you want onions, limes, and cilantro.
- Texas is technically part of America but we kind of let them do their own thing.
- We have like a thousand kinds of beer. Just roll with it.
- Barbecuing means actually smoking meat, not just grilling.
- New York is for pizza, Chicago is for hot dogs.
- DO NOT, AND I REPEAT DO NOT, DIP YOUR FRIES IN MAYONNAISE.
- Take a road trip. Nothing like an American road trip.
- If you are driving and need to eat or take a dump find a Buc-ees. Gonna be weird as hell at first but you’ll get it.
- Our politics are a bit fraught at the moment, but don’t worry our President is sorting all that out.
- Guns. We have like 400 million guns. Get a gun.
- Yes our healthcare is expensive, but you might actually get to see a doctor.
- The rest of the world is stupid.
- DO NOT TRUST THE MEDIA! Just follow me on X if you need to know what’s going on.
- If you are fortunate enough to join us, do not apologize for America’s actions. Ever.
- We will talk about California later. It’s complicated.
I really hope you guys make it in. Best club in the world!
PS - you have a lot less paid vacation now.
@knoxdiocese I’m praying that the bishop is merciful to the congregation at Holy Ghost and allows them to continue with their Traditional Latin Mass, the Mass of the Saints, and the Mass that was just celebrated by Cardinal Burke (as allowed by Pope Leo) at Saint Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
