The three most hateful people on the planet will be the face of the mob syndicate. Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Jim Jordan should repulse enough voters to never put a crime syndicate in office ever again.

Republicans say the stupidest things when trying to look tough and manly.

“I’m so tough gay people repulse me.”

“Well I’m so tough I don’t want health insurance or vaccines .”

“Oh yeah, I’m so tough I beat little kids.”

"Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it."

Really interesting read. Until recently I thought Farage had a good chance at the next GE but with Starmer gone and his own determination to repulse as many floating voters as possible I think he's blown it. Problem is the loto. I think she does actually have a big opportunity now god help us.
New post:

Probably the most important political trend of the year has been Farage's growing unpopularity - which has dropped Reform to third place in the polls.

How did it all go so wrong for him? Is he now the main block on the radical right in the UK?

In Panic I can see myself reflected both in body type and status, giving each execution its own unique catharsis. Why do some repulse me more than others? What does that say about me, about what I believe?

I'm truly glad that you decided to persevere with the series and finish it. It's beautiful.

This is the same problem they have at the staffing level. The problem with winning power by pandering to the electorate’s crassest, dumbest impulses is that you tend to repulse the sort of smart, competent people you need to actually run stuff.
Neutral-sounding pundits keep talking about the importance of “candidate quality.”

Bro, don’t you get it? Those were the best candidates they had! Have you SEEN the rest of the Republican Party?!?!?

There is some interesting stories behind this statue.

1. It's not John Osborn but is in fact a WW1 soldier.
2. It was originally part of the garden statuary of Eu Tong Sen's Eucliffe property on the west side of Repulse Bay. The property was redeveloped in the 1980s and the family donated it...
In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

Sorry if this is problematic but when I see a dude with long nails it makes me physically sick, there's very few things that can repulse me on sight like that. What's the deal

I guess Scalise does't repulse me?? (Or does he)?

I'll call you 'Ghost'."

"Right..."

"If you don't have any other information to share with us, you're free to go home for today," said the researcher. Simon looked at the little badge on her blood stained lab coat : 'Fascia'. He had to fight to keep a straight face despite the repulse he felt after

Didn’t someone famous say “There’s no such thing as society” inferring everyone had to take care of themselves. It’s possible that Walliams had a ‘thing’ for girls less than half his age which might be legal but should repulse the wider telegraph readership if they think about their granddaughters

Poisson disk has two modes: hard disk (no points can be inside the radius of another point) and soft disk (the points repulse instead of making an actual "no entry" radius).
Blue noise is soft disk poisson disk, so that's how they relate.
This is higher quality than other methods

A 1776 quote of Thomas Paine which is very appropriate to the results of the midterm elections: "Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope & virtue could survive, that the city & the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet & repulse it."

I suspect Musk’s money actually contributed to the loss. Flooding the electorate with unhinged bigotry didn’t gain any unhinged bigots, they‘re reliable Repub voters, but did repulse normal conservatives. A flood of texts and mailers like this:

Steve I'd hold your hand if you didn't repulse me, your ass is going to jail.
This was the last we heard from Goebbels on the timeline

The GOP very very quickly circling the drain and turning off basically all degrees of their base does kinda have me wondering if the deeper right-wing slant that companies like Disney said they wanted to go in will just utterly repulse the average moviegoer

im glad i broke up with my ex boyfriend because his fetishes repulse me

I think we should change the definition of all phobias to be more in line with 'hydrophobic' which means "to repulse water." Transphobes repulse trans people till we are not even allowed to use the bathroom. They are not afraid of us, they reject us like an umbrella rejects rain. #TransRights

Word of the Hour: Repulse - The act of repelling or driving back; also the state of being repelled or driven back. #WordOfTheHour #WordOfTheDay

If you designed a profile to repulse me it would absolutely include “expertise = edtech, 1:1 computing”
