Naked people tables are definitely a real thing. Just got back from a kinky campout where there was a naked woman charcuterie board. I went for a salami roll on her sternum.

At least Ian didn't fuck up the sound of the skeptic's creed here like he did on You Tube

The widespread idiocy in Texas might be (at least partially) a result of the decades long assault on the public school system. Combine that with the rampant religiosity and it's a perfect storm of stupidity.

I fucking love you guys. ❤️🧨💥
Help, I'm trapped in a podcast factory!
Even if Trump had some plausible claim that he thought things were trinkets or personal gifts, we still shouldn't give the benefit of the doubt. That actually happened with the Clintons, and the right naturally ran with a lie that they were forced to return $200k of items they "stole". https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-stole-white-house-furniture/

To clarify the Texas law re: “In God We Trust” signs in public schools: (First, let me preface this clarification with my personal opinion that it’s all a bunch of unconstitutional bullshit, all the way around. It’s like Trump’s Supreme Court has vowed to tear down the wall between church and state because Trump wasn’t able to build his stupid fuckin wall between the U.S. and all the brown people south of the U.S. Fuck all of them!) Ok, so … schools aren’t required, in general, to have and display those signs. HOWEVER, IF such a sign is purchased by a private organization or individual, AND that private entity chooses to DONATE said sign to a school, the school MUST accept the sign IF no others have been donated/accepted previously, AND the donated/accepted signs MUST be prominently displayed. The law does not require that the text must be in English, nor does it stipulate that the text cannot reflect varying color schemes or designs. I HATE Greg Abbott and I wish someone would roll him off a cliff with Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz on his lap. They are and have been fucking Texas up so bad. It’s so much worse here now than it’s ever been before. I’m 52 years old. I was born and raised in Texas. I have lived here my entire life. I went to school here. I’m not a fucking dumbass and I don’t understand why so many Texans are so goddamn moronic!!!
