he wants police officers to bash the heads of people they arrest against the doorframes of their squad cars!
have you seen "Cracker" starring Robbie Coltrane?
it was obvious trump would turn the federal governmentβs guns on the times. it wasnβt even subtle. but the family who controls the times were more outraged by a chilly relationship with a dem president than with a tyrant who will, if he has the chance, fucking destroy them, and they deserve it.

if the Steelers did skip the moment of silence, I will grudgingly but gladly tip my hat to the Rooneys
I'm pretty confident it's mostly policy, in the sense that even some people who don't agree with his particular policy preferences seem excited by the prospect of a guy with actual preferences instead of just focus-grouped bullshit
the rem feed is the real goat makes it easier to avoid missing another certified rem poste
hyped to see you guys tomorrow night at The Depot (please play "Motorcycle Witches"!)
Tom Brady getting to pretend he's apolitical despite having a locker full of MAGA stuff, and getting plum commentary gigs despite being an atrocious color man (as well as being part-owner and advisor for a team, conflicts of interest be damned), feels like a very apt microcosm of these days
I can think of no better way to celebrate the screamiversary than by screaming without end
This is what David Brooks meant when he said a conservative had texted him that Kirk was their George Floyd. They didn't mean that Kirk was a victim of a profound injustice. In the conservative mind, Floyd was used as a symbolic pretext to reorient society. They want to use Kirk that way.
I certainly hope they don't drive you into a crippling... *rolls dice* ...saltwater taffy addiction
the bad guys in Hot Fuzz wore black hoods to their meetings; the ones here prefer to wear white
yeah go for it

ok gotcha yeah I don't know what would be a better shorthand, maybe congressional dems? (which is of course even longer than 'federal dems')
there's also the classic relationship trope of one partner who was diagnosed decades ago and the other who is a walking, talking screening checklist but has never been dxed

I don't know why people are giving all those incorrect answers in a world where kvass exists
we very specifically and over decades had earned a reputation for being a place where you could come and study or work and be treated ~fairly rather than tyrannically. that reputation was a big deal. I hope in time we can rebuild it.
These guys are claiming Kirk as a nazi. I'm curious, from the right's perspective, is this unacceptable criticism, of the type that's getting liberals fired from their jobs, or is this honoring his legacy?
Pacino is good but he doesn't hold a candle to Williams
He is phenomenal in Insomnia

that flag should not have been picked up imo
it's kind of funny that he looks more comfortable running at age 40 than he did at the end of his time in Baltimore, when he was clearly still haunted by that knee injury
lmao replay stepped in?

which is precisely why everyone at ICE and DHS will go out of their way to blame the local dumbass while pretending they were the *real* victims

Counting the playoffs, Derrick Henry has fumbled in 3 straight games Would be cool if he stopped doing that
it's an especially reasonable and necessary position to take when SCOTUS has given its blessing to explicitly racially based mass "law enforcement" actions

Really something to watch that Atlantic editor begin by scolding people for being disrespectful of Charlie Kirk, admit she had no idea what he said, attack people quoting him directly in the Times for not providing context, and then provide context that doesnβt change the meaning.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."
"hurt" or "hort"? (important)
absolutely agreed, it flew by for me as well but I think if he'd had to fully narrate EVERYTHING instead of giving a brief gloss of the stuff that happened during the coma, he would have gotten bogged down like crazy
how many consecutive times have you rewound the same 90 seconds of the podcast while saying "THIS time i will pay attention"
normally I despise the "protagonist is in a coma so the story jumps way ahead" gambit, but I make an exception for 11/22/63 because otherwise the book would have been 8000 pages
