‘I can say anything I want’: Michigan official defends using racist slur while refusing to wear a mask
The racist remark spurred widespread condemnation of Eckerle, who is a Republican, and calls to resign from party officials. Despite the backlash, Eckerle doubled down on his comments Thursday, defending his position and using the slur repeatedly in an interview with the local public radio station.
“I don’t regret calling it a nigger,” Eckerle told Interlochen Public Radio. “A nigger is a nigger is a nigger. That’s not a person whatsoever.”
Look for this gem to be vaulted into a top position in Trump's regime.

11 wowsSlipping in the shower and landing on the bath faucet fucking sucks.
Happened Sunday and ended up going to the ER. The faucet took a small chunk of skin out and smacked the shit out of the area right below my shoulder blade. Been bedridden since with mild fever and a lot of pain.
Guess it’s time for a Life Alert. -
11 wowsWent to a restaurant with some co-workers, one of whom is Russian, and the waitress asked him where he was from because of his accent. He said Russia and she said she had never been there but would like to visit. He replied jokingly maybe not at the moment and she asked why what's wrong at the moment. Everyone at the table was like "the war" and she had no idea there was a war going on. It's crazy that someone can be so ignorant of what's going on in the world.

Although honestly I'm more riled up about Andretti getting rejected by FOM to join F1 in 2025/2026 especially since Haas is one of the biggest opponents of it. Haas who don't invest enough to be competitive are worried that it will dilute the sport, just fuck off. -
