Melania could disappear forever and MAGA wouldn’t even notice
Four quarters to a leg 😉
A rewatch of Prospect reminded me again how smart and economical the script is, how good the acting, and how great the worldbuilding, plus the details of space capsules, medic kit, biomatter mining details, etc. Much better than most big budget films. Very highly recommended.
Party at a friends house, at one point we realized that we were almost all in the kitchen for no obvious reason And then we watched as yet another unwitting person got herded in there by their border collie 🫠
This but if that Yuma burrito shop then went on to be the top lawyer and national media surrogate for an ex-president who tried to overthrow a presidential election through violence, coercion, and litigation
Assuming anyone is too stupid to understand the meaning of a term they haven’t specifically learned is condescending and narcissistic, and definitely a losing strategy
I would guess that for some reason Trump wouldn’t/couldn’t wear a tie and so everyone else took theirs off
Hopefully Chuck got a video of himself eating arepas at the state fair to mount a strong response
I’d be on board with an old Bond if they reworked the Bubba Ho-Tep script for it
Googling it for a “right answer” only makes sense if you already know its implied and actual meanings are contradictory It’s better to just communicate with language that means what it implies And I’m not even going to get into the idea that literacy is defined by familiarity with specific jargon
Don’t even get me started on how we’re suffering witches to live
And they didn’t even put him in the village stocks for public shaming, what’s this world coming to
Missouri started fucked though, this map is only one seat flip
And that’s why they want to get rid of the DoE, so that *there will be no President Roslin*
If they’re like other gaskets or o-rings, they’ll feel less flexible and you’ll likely see little cracks forming on the surface if you look closely
Oh, I comprehended you perfectly
I would agree, if you feel comfortable reducing someone with 15 years of legislative experience and two terminal degrees to their tits, we’re probably not going to have a productive conversation
Sinema had a JD, PhD, and 15-year legislative record before betraying her voters, it’s the individual not the category
the Fetterman takeaway probably shouldn’t be to summarily dismiss blue collar candidates as tropes
I can appreciate that you are bothered by the author’s tone, but would you say that continuing to try to recruit Mills rather than embracing Platner’s popularity as a candidate is in support of, or in opposition to, Platner’s candidacy?
Nothing in this article framed Schumer as being specifically hostile towards Platner It outlines the Dem pattern of recruiting more centrist and established candidates, argues they should reconsider that strategy, with a focus on Platner for this feature
You dispute the reporting that Schumer and other top Dems have been trying to recruit Janet Mills and other governors to run for Senate seats, and that Mills would be running for the same seat as Platner Source?
Fetterman emerged from a robust primary
The article links to reporting that Schumer and other top Dems have been trying to recruit Dem governors to run for Senate seats, including Janet Mills It’s been reported by multiple news agencies over several months, not sure how reporting they’re recruiting candidates is shitting on Schumer

He’s so excited about what they have planned that he can’t keep it in
Hopefully you’re not yet at the point of drinking Thala-siren milk
“hey it’s carmen”
I would like to point out that the phrase “continuing to perpetuate an indefinite industrial disaster” will not move any needles
Yeah the Kelces were really struggling for money before Taylor Swift came along, a real Oliver Twist story 🫠
It sounds better than “kids won’t make eye contact with me because I’m a creepy weirdo”
Get thee to a punnery
He’s going to shit himself when he finds out about nuclear submarines

Shit i think we’re a strong enough country that we’ll survive veterans in a retirement home wearing their political gear
He’s talking about me, a person who’s mad AND who voted So what do you think will help Dems with voters: A) do what I suggest and listen to criticisms of leadership B) do what Texas Pete says and tell people with legitimate criticisms that they should f*ck off for daring to question Dear Leader
Rep. Ann Johnson gets it THIS is the fire we need from party leaders, not the confused messaging we’re getting bsky.app/profile/clar...
I’m a registered Dem voter I voted for Harris, and I’d like to see more Dems elected By ridiculing and exiling anyone who dares ask if Dem leadership could be more effective, idiots like Texas Paul are making people less likely to support Dems, and it’s infuriating
They’re saying it’s MORE than just a distraction You recognize that minimizing it as a “distraction” downplays the seriousness of what’s happening, and downplays the racism and authoritarianism that are motivating it? That by calling it a “distraction” it becomes a thing that can be ignored?
just an A with wheels
So obviously your grandson knows that babies come from fucking but somehow you’re too embarrassed to talk about surrogacy or adoption? You’re a bigot, Snoop
— what do you mean, how do you feel about babadook — … THERE’S ZERO SUSPENSE ABOUT WHO IS BABADOOK AND GODDAMN SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE KILLED THAT CHILD WITHIN THE FIRST 30 SECONDS OF HIS SCREENTIME BECAUSE HE WAS DIRECTED TO BE SO GD ANNOYING … but essie davis was great
You can call military deployment in Black-led majority Dem cities a clearly racist and fascist consolidation of authoritarian white supremacy, or you can call it a “distraction” If someone chooses to call it a “distraction,” you should be asking THEM who they’re trying to protect
If you call it a distraction, then you’ve created an excuse for why you’ve done nothing to oppose it How is throwing Black people to the wolves merely a “distraction?” It should be a primary focus, not something to be minimized!
He’s blocking people for questioning Jeffries’ decision to call the military deployed in American cities a “distraction” It’s not anti-Dem leftists, it’s anyone who doesn’t treat Dem leadership as an unquestionable cult People like this guy do more harm than good
After 2024 you’re still just going to smash the Vote Blue No Matter Who button? Come on man, we need to be smarter than that
Except that Dems weren’t fighting the war criminal, they were giving him money and armaments We won’t reach useful critiques of how Dems need to change if we can’t admit to what they’re actually doing
I’m shocked that the DC Wheelie guy finds Nazism inherently civilized
I don’t have to click on the article to know who they’re talking about I concede that said author can, without a doubt, write many many words I propose that the power of GoT did not lie in the mere fact that GRRM wrote many many words
what if there’s two separate things
So basically they got 8 months paid vacation 🫠
If you’re using Private Relay (iOS) or something similar you were likely getting routed through MS at that time
Maxwell’s a convicted child sex trafficker and rapist who committed perjury when testifying on behalf of Epstein It doesn’t matter if it’s complete, it’s rubbish in any case
That is absolutely what he is saying
Clearly we need more pigeon chess
The explanation is that there’s a part of America that’s so racist they can’t see anything else, and they will tear apart their own country in service to that racism
Once you see Matt Berry in a show you will never not know that voice
This tells me you haven’t seen the What We Do In The Shadows series, highly recommend
Crazy idea, add some glockenspiel and high female choral voices on top, see what you get
*Superman II
An answer to the “yeah but what can Dems in Congress do?” is that they can organize and, more importantly, organize the *financial support* for, a national strike
Clearly a Bartok appreciation post
Seems analogous to the tobacco lawsuits in the 80s and 90s, were those unmerited? Lawsuits are a valuable consumer safety tool, businesses should hold some responsibility for disclosing known hazards associated with their products.
I haven’t had Premium, but if you want to go the spoiler-free replay route you’ll probably need an uninterested 3rd party to cue the game up for you; if I remember right it’s hard to navigate the app without involuntarily seeing final scores
I think the “7 games” of Premium means you can watch 7 games on a TV, *in addition to* all the in-market games on phone or tablet — regular NFL+ doesn’t allow any TV streaming Pretty sure Premium also gives access to replays of ALL games, great if you can avoid final scores before watching
This gives you all regular and post-season in-market games if you’re willing to watch them on a a tablet or phone
I’d be hard-pressed to come up with a more vibes-based argument than “bullshit begets bullshit”
If you’re willing to watch games on a phone or tablet, NFL+ is by far the cheapest option
Do you think Dem leadership being completely invisible while the Trump admin violates law to deploy the military against US civilians is indicative of “didn’t get everything they ever wanted,” or do you think maybe voters were noticing a much larger and deeper problem?
If you’re trying to argue that Dem officeholders are up to the moment, you might want to rethink the idea that their organizing and press engagement abilities end at holding each other’s hands
She’s already back my man, but I’m sure other excuses are available
You might want to read that again
“sure sure sure, other than suspending habeus corpus, building concentration camps, and declaring the president above the law, what’s changed? Why the urgency? Did you hear about Mamdani’s apartment?” Walking a tightrope, bless your heart
They’ve extrajudicially deployed the military to occupy civilian populations We’re already *at* martial law
Any reporters out there going to ask Trump why Putin was telling him how American elections need to be run?
It’s not an exaggeration to say the American Right wants to be a Fourth Reich, and if they gain permanent control of the world’s largest economy and most powerful military, you might as well pack up and leave as well because Canada looks real tasty to them
It’s just not the same without the smell of mildew
Another classic performance youtu.be/IZg_HE3V5tE?...
Objectively it wouldn’t be us, subjectively it would
But in principle, if all of what we are is non-spirit, then it should be mathematically reproducible We certainly don’t have the computing capability to do so now and no current“preservation” process can collect all of that data for future workers to do so … and why would they even want to?
But the idea this could be achieved with the brain alone definitely seems driven by the meat computer myth you describe The fact that organ dysfunction outside the brain can modify personality seems like a clear sign you’d need to do more than just quantify a brain to recreate a consciousness
Seems like this is the old debate of whether there is a soul or spirit that can’t be physically quantified If there isn’t, then what would prevent physically replicating an individual? That being said, I would doubt that mere chemical preservation would retain the necessary info to achieve it
but then it’s an evening cigar and whiskey on the plantation porch

Fair point when seen that way, he looks pretty uncomfortable to be
I’m not trying to be antagonistic or ignorant of the larger point, but I’m not sure about the “gay is when someone’s orally raped in a display of dominance” take here
Obvious follow-up: so you’re taking the approach that America under Trump is too weak to do anything about it? But our national press corps is too weak/complicit
Pretty sure this wasn’t intended as a depiction of love
Seems like a “Trump was convicted of 34 felonies” softball come on press, do a thing
Brevity is the soul of wit
The original Elon story was that a dozen or so “youths” were trying to sexually assault a woman, and Big Balls was beaten while trying to intervene Then an arrest report indicated that he was actually assaulted by a 15-year-old boy and girl during an apparent carjacking
I love that they considered Leeches a complete sentence
Job numbers so good we don’t even want to talk about it
Dems had a filibuster-proof majority for over 2 months in 2009 Manchin and Sinema will forever be convenient scapegoats, but the problem runs deeper
Lost Smiths track
Lost Smiths track
There’s no consistent correlation between spending on law enforcement and crime rates, and the last thing we need from Dems is the argument that society is better when we expand the police state
