On OAN, they are outraged M&Ms has “gone woke” with new purple M&Ms that signify “inclusiveness and acceptance.”
That's because (the guy said) it represents transgender.

Which means that guy thinks all the other colors represent different genders. I know there are

Chocolate
Red
Green
Blue
Yellow
and Orange


... and I think it's OAN's responsibility to make sure everyone knows which genders they represent. I mean, I know that red represents red-blooded American male he-men like me, the kind of guys who like to cry when they meet Trump and call him sir and stuff. But remember, M&Ms don't represent different races, they represent genders, and there are apparently a lot more than I was previously aware of. :shock:

You're forgetting Silver for bisexual, but that's normal because they're invisible to everyone. /s

That's metaphysically absurd genius, man. 8-)

But if Silver is bisexual, that still leaves five slots to cover.

I probably could have worded that better. :?

Wait... isn't red the least numerous colour?
And were there this many recognized genders when Mars started making M&Ms.
And how does this relate to Smarties colours?

Yeah, M&Ms are reverse Oreos, but that's a race thing, not gender. Underneath the colored dye, all M&Ms have a candy shell that is whiter than Mitch McConnell. And underneath that is the chocolate center.

White on the outside, black on the inside, trapped in a world they never made, very sad some more. :(

:mad: :mad: :mad:

So F&F gang has Admiral Kirby on this morning to talk about Ukraine and I think N Korea missile (I came in late). The always vile Brian Kilmeade then switches topics with graphic of how many military recruits were tossed out because they wouldn't get vaccines. Admiral Kirby nicely points out that it is a health issue, since soldiers need to be healthy to do that soldiering stuff (paraphrasing here), plus they can't put other soldiers in their units at risk of getting sick. Admiral Kirby gently points out that he's doing this interview from home, because he's got a mild case of covid, despite being double vaxxed and boosted. Kilmeade then really blasts down on Kirby with the illegitimate vaccine and other BS he's fond of saying about all things covid. I swear he was shouting, but Admiral Kirby took it well and held his own. A gentleman, unlike Kilmeade who I swear was shouting (or thatclose to shouting).

If I see a clip somewhere, I'll post it.

For some reason I saw that Scott Adams has a livestream on facebook, with 2.6k people watching. The subject for today is "Let’s talk about Elon Musk’s peace plans for Ukraine and Trump’s latest provocation."

Lets not.

Its hard not to shout when you are outraged, and Fox News specializes in being outraged. About everything (except Trump's crimes).

I will note that Peanut M&Ms in a custom box with the presidential seal and signature are a common White House swag thing. Which does not mean they are NOT Commies, but are at least pretty good evidence against. Unless we've just found the Easter Egg hiding in plain sight.

[Source: I have two with Biden's signature from assisting WHCA during the recent POTUS visit to London; and Google tells me that someone is selling some of Trump's batch on EBay. According to Wikipedia, Reagan actually started the tradition and Nancy gave them out ... to Russians on the early end-of-the-Cold-War trips overseas. I THINK WE'RE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS HERE, PEOPLE!]

LBJ gave out lighters, ash trays and matchbooks with the seal and his signature.
