I don't think republicans would give good sex advice, but to be fair... if you wanted to know the average price hookers charge for a BJ in washington DC, a congressman isn't the worst person to ask, LOL.
He's not in DC though. He's a congressman for the state legislature in West Virginia.

I actually want Pence to run for president in 2024. I don't want him to win, I just want him to run, to split the evangelicals away from the Trump republicans, who will fight Pence tooth and nail the whole time.

EDIT: corrected date typo from 2020 to 2024

I can't imagine him running against Trump. He licks Trumps boots.

I've always had like an antipathy for brands on social media who play the role of "brand personified" and that personification is like a daring/outspoken "just another Twitter user" but at the same time literally all of their content is plugs for new products or endless "spunky" digging at other brands. Wendy's restaurants' Twitter account is the epitome of this, but there are others. But it's so one-note, and so "hello fellow kids", I'm honestly astonished that people become serious fans of these brands for that. It's almost depressing.

But then you've got Steak-umm out there, just like






So yeah, this is a brand account, its purpose is advertising, and it certainly does post reminding you to buy Steak-umms now and then. But.....then you get this stuff. It's GOOD stuff. It engages with other users but it's not mean, it's not trolling, it's not trying to build a brand image based on "we have the best come-backs and put-downs"....it's corporate advertising that manages to be responsible somehow. So weird.

It is unfortunate Steak Umm is such trash though. It's all you can get out here in Oregon but I won't buy it. It's junk. There are frozen steak for sandwich brands back east that are good. I miss my steak sandwiches.

Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill was general secretary of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (UCCB), effectively the highest-ranking priest in the US who is not a bishop, before records of Grindr usage obtained from data brokers was correlated with his apartment, place of work, vacation home, family members' addresses, and more. Grindr is a gay hookup app, and while apparently none of Burrill’s actions were illegal, any sort of sexual relationship is forbidden for clergy in the Catholic Church.

Burrill’s case is “hugely significant,” Alan Butler, executive director of the Electronic Information Privacy Center, told Ars. “It’s a clear and prominent example of the exact problem that folks in my world, privacy advocates and experts, have been screaming from the rooftops for years, which is that uniquely identifiable data is not anonymous.”
