Weirdo borrows friend's wife and kids for a photoshoot
Anti-abortion Republican Derrick Anderson, who is running for Virginia’s seventh congressional district, appears to be trying to appeal to women using a bizarre tactic.
Article here: > It looks like a family holiday card except that the woman and children posing with Republican Derrick Anderson are not his wife or his offspring. > > Anderson, who running in a close race for Virginia’s seventh congressional district, was seen in another image seated around the dining table with the same woman and three girls. > > The images came to light in an article by The New York Times, headlined “G.O.P. Candidates, Looking to Soften Their Image, Turn to Their Wives,” which reported how “male Republicans struggling to appeal to female voters concerned about their records on reproductive rights are unleashing their spouses to make the pitch on their behalf.” > > However Anderson, who is childless, engaged to be married and lives alone with his dog, sought to borrow the wife and children from a longtime friend in an apparent effort to appear as a family man. > > A spokesman for Anderson criticized The New York Times for focusing on the footage and said that “Derrick’s opponent and every other candidate in America are in similar pictures and video with supporters of all kinds.” The spokesman said the video simply showed Anderson “with female supporters and their kids.” > > However, comments by vice presidential candidate JD Vance making fun of “childless cat ladies” and a push by Republicans to roll back abortion rights have not been popular with the electorate. > > In 2022, Anderson praised the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that provided women with abortion access, saying “SCOTUS finally got it right.” > > His decision to pose with a family that was not his own was widely mocked on social media.
The article title is a little misleading - the tadpoles of this frog don't poop because they're only in a small amount of water and they'd quickly foul it if they pooped frequently like other animals. Instead, they wait until they start to become frogs, then they safely poop outside of their spawning pools.
Probably is "wtf" - there's been a big shift in censoring "swear words" on the internet recently
Idk, seeing as it was created by separating from Virginia as to not be in the Confederacy in 1863 - that seems pretty cool to me
Hmmm... Both things involve bicycles... Maybe they're just magic?
Why's he eating everyone's ass in Denny's and giving them stickers for it then??
Wait, do you wear your glasses when you use that? I always want to try something like that to keep my face warm, but if I wear my glasses, they fog up from me breathing :(
In my college's drama club parties, it was tradition that one of the officers of the club would drink a bottle. They would make up a different reason each time they did it as to how the tradition started.
Recolor the green part brown and it can be a pig with a awesome beard!

Just got a new job with better salary, more vacation and is 100% WFH! I'm going to give my resignation to my current job this week - no longer do I have to deal with coworkers telling me I'm rude when because I'm wearing headphones because I literally cannot think or work if you're having a conversation behind me, Samantha!
I'm proud because it's taken me months to even find a company that would actually acknowledge my presence, plus I've been with this shitty job for years and I was beginning to think that I'd be stuck here until the market changed, but I'm glad that things are on the up for me :)

TIL "How do you dress?" means "Which pants leg do you put your penis down?"

Countdown Calendar App?
Hi guys, I'm looking for a countdown calendar app that can tell me how many days it is until a certain day in the future. It'd be nice if it could save the date so that I wouldn't have to continually re-enter it. Is there anything good like that on F-Droid?
