It’s Saturday, and I’m feeling lazy, so I’m going to ignore all the frantic, sloppy tweets coming from Donald Trump’s bedroom at Mar-al-Lago and focus on the important non-Trump news of the day.
Like the Incel Air Force’s air strike against Chad (not the country).

Also, just a couple of days after being celebrated semi-ironically by Jacobin as a Marxist hero of sorts, Kanye West is hailing alt-lite weirdo Candace Owens (remember her from Gamergate days?) as a brilliant thinker.

I don’t know if Candace Owens is far right but I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t know if it smacked her across the face. pic.twitter.com/jZvcxgT1Rc

*VOMIT*
The “pastor” at the church where I play made a Jew joke during the sermon today. His wife is an ex-Jew and she laughed, so he said it was ok.
I was totally blown off center and don’t entirely know how I made it through the rest of the service. I really want to quit, but I need the salary right now.
Also last week, the secretary at my Mom’s church performed a miracle. Since my mom died in Feb, I have been trying to find her dog a new home. Elderly Shih-Tzu, not really housebroken. The vet recommended euthanasia. Said shih-tzu used to belong to Pastor’s first wife and went to my mom after her death. I felt like I had to at least offer first rights for adoption/fostering to Pastor’s family. Got months of 1)YES! We’d love to take her….2) nevermind
So secretary texted me to see how I was doing. I was honest. I’d be ok, except dog. In less than 15 minutes, I had an action plan, a solution. Next day, all was resolved.
Spoke to Pastor this morning. He took all the credit. *facepalm*
I love my congregation, but I hate the pastor. But I’ve always hated the pastor, he’s the one who thinks 13-year-olds are slutty.
My sympathies, @Eli–on both the poor dog and the shitty pastor.
I’ve always thought it was the most hilariously ironic thing that Reddit and *chan incels used “Chad” as the name of a paragon of masculinity that gets all the women, while literally every woman I’ve known uses “Chad” as the name of a douchey jackass in a polo shirt who they’d never let get near them in a million years.
I don’t think I’ve ever actually met a real person named Chad. What it reminds me of now is that back at the height of the DAPL protests, a baby was born at the protester’s camp, and they announced her name, which meant ‘Water is Life’ in Lakota, on Twitter.
A lady responded, “How beautiful! My grandson’s name is Chad.”
It was simultaneously so charming and so random.
@opposablethumbs
Thank you. I nearly cried when I took him to his new place, he was so excited to be able to have a shower.
@WWTH
Yes! I have a full sleeve and neck tattoos visible and most of my back, sternum and legs too ^_^
Who’s Chad?
I do not understand the strapping tape. But it is beige. Wait…
No… certainty no….
@Podkayne Lives
Regarding Chad, I agree. Definitely a d-bag synonym.
It could be that the mgtow types are a bit out of touch with reality….
Shocker, I know.
What is the issue with the tape? 0_o ???
I don’t get it!
