  Liberal Cat Ladies Reveal "Battle Plan" To Poison Trump Men With Aqua Tofana by Tyler Durden Educated white liberal women appear to have lost their goddamn minds after the presidential election. Many have posted videos of  uncontrollable emotional outbursts  over a Trump victory... ... with some even threatening to  adopt pro-life stances  as a form of retaliation against men. Others have made what appears to be terroristic threats, suggesting at the use of strong poison against men because they voted for the evil 'Orange Man.'  Internet searches for Aqua Tofana—a potent poison created in Sicily around 1630 by a woman named Giulia Tofana, or Tofania, and historically used by women to free themselves from relationships by killing men—spiked shortly after the election results.

  Gymnastics on the Front Bench From one extreme to another Sophia Barnes In his 1957 work  Mythologies , the French philosopher Roland Barthes explored the role of ‘euphoria’ in creating the myths by which we make sense of experience.

  Malevolent Anal Distraction The media’s reporting on the "Queering Nuclear Weapons" essay written by a new national nuclear security official obscures something much darker John Carter Nuclear security is, I’m sure you do not need to be convinced, a deeply serious matter. Ever since we cracked the atom over Hiroshima our civilization has been walking a tightrope over an abyss. A single misstep could mean annihilation – hundreds of millions dead within minutes, billions within days. Doubtless there would be some survivors, but it’s doubtful that industrial civilization would survive. We’ve come within a hair’s breadth of this a few times, not only in the Cuban Missile Crisis, but on other occasions, when radar mulfunctions or computer glitches left launch officers in the USA and the former USSR unsure whether or not to press the big red buttons they were entrusted with. Fortunately for everyone, they didn’t. If they had, none of us would be here. Nuclear power plants can be
