Apart from the bigotry, he’s real dumb
All of this Centrist nonsense implicitly endorses the idea that trump winning by 1.5 is a fucking mandate
The weather here makes that sub optimal much of the year but in other places it would for sure work.
My dad’s second wedding was this kind of tacky. His third was more appropriate to the situation
There was a concept that rolled out a while back and people laughed that it only charged like 15 miles a day, but that’s my entire commute. I could probably charge it at home about once every three weeks
I mean, 2024 is exactly what you get based on public perceptions of the economy. Arguably, trump underperformed
Tbh, the part they like in the racism
Anthony Downs in the hands of morons is a dangerous political force
I’d add that they are willing to compromise on abortion so long as the pro life candidate hates minorities enough.
My band covered that last week
“Debate me” at hostile churches is fucking stupid
Also, disinflation isn’t a word.
That’s journalistic malpractice
I teach political science. They’d be shocked how infrequently ideology is even relevant there.
I think they also over estimate how liberal the content is in a lot of those fields.
It’s finally infrastructure week
This is why I’m not a devout atheist. We shouldn’t be shitty either. So long as people aren’t using their religion to shit on others, I’m glad they are finding support and fulfillment
I’m sorry people are mad at me
I know he’s not, of course, but how brain dead do you have to be to ignore the things
Is Conor like 24?
I’m teaching my tween right now
My suspicion is that if they ever find the guy, he'll be ideologically incoherent
There were probably 200 people in the audience that look like that guy
I’ve seen a bunch of people say he respectfully debated people he disagreed with, but mostly he seemed to be using it as fodder for right wing Battle of the Jaywalk All Stars videos
No. Remington 700 would be your standard 30-06
If it was really from 200 yds, it was a very tricky shot. I used to hunt deer, and a broadside shot from 200 yards is moderately hard. Hitting a neck at 200 would be extremely hard. Bullets drop a lot, and the wind is an issue. You wouldn’t necessarily need to be a sniper, but you need experience
What’s a phallofajita?
I’d guarantee it. She probably president of their Turningpoint chapter or something
I don’t see anything in there indicating he didn’t want to fire the professor. At a minimum, he didn’t want to deal with the headache of the fallout and defending her. But equally likely, he agrees that you shouldn’t be allowed to teach that content
Damn right
I saw the course description. It is a typical super vague thing and you could basically align any content with it. Student and Pres are just bigots
I’ve never seen the movie, but that soundtrack slaps. Especially the Donosaur Jr/Del track
They’d look even worse if McCarthy weren’t complete ass
Does he want to fuck ET?
I like that in the join ice pic, trump still has a gut
You don’t look the same at 46 as 21
But I poop from there
The authoritarianism literature has a couples different mechanisms for this (and some dispute), but in general, society gets more authoritarian under times of stress
You’ll be better than Dalton
For some reason, I read that as Kohl’s and thought the DOD would get Kohl’s cash which each f35
1947 is woke
I’m all for made in the US but it seems to often end up being prison labor or sweatshops that are marginally better than foreign factories.
There’s a surprisingly gay friendly episode of cheers from that era too
And we tolerate rural conservatives shitting on cities, liberals and basically everybody. I live in the “heartland” and there’s absolutely nothing special about it
I know a few farmers. They’d go bankrupt so long as they can keep being bigots
I got a huge tax incentive (spread over several years) for adopting.
I actually tho k all of them but #7 are pretty much bad faith horseshit
Oh no, they won’t remake wizard Star Wars!
Do truth social photos not have EXIF data or has someone deleted it? It’s usually pretty easy to figure out when and where a picture was taken
4 years later, it’s the same shit
Is it Peter North?
Yub Nub!
Yeah, but she’s also a complete piece of shit
Not sure about Ohio, but a substantial number of Iowa college grads are leaving the minute they graduate. Part of it is politics, and part is that it is a shitty job market
As a middle aged guy, it is kind of joyless
University of pulled it out of my ass
Yeah, I loved it but my kids were bored
Damn it. Harvesting
Libertarianism is mostly about freedom from age of consent laws hand arresting the poors for organs
Fortunately, they get the 20x30 office with a fireplace and oriental rug right
It’s just easier to blame Marilyn Manson
Unitary executive theory means republican presidents can do whatever they want and democrats absolutely can’t
Had the exact same conversation with my parents. And now I live someplace I fucking hate because you go where you can get hired. I guess I’m lucky to be working at all
Beware the man with one gun. He actually knows how to use it
I am starting to wonder if Iowa might actually be in play. Ernst really fucked up (we all die) and it’s unclear if she’s running or not. It’s uphill for sure but not totally out of reach.
Yeah, the whole worldview is insane. It’s like talking to a schizophrenic
That was my first thought. I assume this person has “not for hire” plates on their truck
That’s probably safer than giving her scotch until she gets cirrhosis
Setting aside his bigotry (which is hard) he just seems like a complete moron on 95% of the things he opines on
Maybe the drummer has been in a coma since 1990
I like those Drumeo Videos where “drummer writes own part to song he’s never heard” but I’m skeptical even hard core jazzers have never heard Enter Sandman
Cool. My fat ass can get the shot
Maybe we should stop letting white guys have guns until we know what’s going on
There have been two or three against a backdrop of 100s of straight white guys.
What’s the New College enrollment looking like these days?
I’m all for weaponizing subway But this would be a waste of a perfectly good shawarma
My brother used to live it Jefferson Park and it was one of the safest American places I’ve been
I used to eat lunch in Minneapolis’s “no go zone” all the time. I think you’re safer around Somalis that the white frat guys a mile away
I think one of the dem issues is that so much of the time, they don’t want to alienate people who aren’t going to vote for them anyway.
Duane at Muscle Shoals was so good. The Wilson Pickett covers of Hey Jude and Hey Joe have killer guitar playing from him.
I don’t know what it is, but so much of it has this sheen, like the equivalent of Vaseline on the lens. I’ve played in bands that have covered 80s R&B an country (different bands) and both genres have some pretty good songs that are just killed by the production
If anything, this felt underproduced. There’s a keyboard solo that just sounds like someone’s cat walking across it
It’s funny, as I was writing this, like a prayer and vogue were in my mind as how her voice got better
I heard Hangin Tough the other day. I didn’t like it as a kid because boy band, but holy shit the production is schlocky
I grew up in the 80s and 90s and I’m going with the controversial take of “most of it” which has always been the case. Every generation has a lot of popular awful stuff that mostly ends up forgotten
Madonna was more an entertainer than a singer and on those early songs, they aren’t able to hide how thin her voice is.
And if they want to talk about stars being massaged, a whole lot of rural crime goes unreported as boys will be boys or “you know how Joe Bob is”
Wait, it thought Covid was fake. I can’t keep up
I was briefly had history as my third major. It’s not something I have expertise in in any meaningful way
Thanks. I read The western Way of War about 30 years ago and have only a vague recollection of it. It just seemed like a sort of bog standard military history at the time but it didn’t make a huge impression one way or the other
I’m not sure that his historical work is particularly connected to his contemporary politics. He’s just a reactionary bigot
I guess there’s Victor Davis Hanson, but I’m it sure his contemporary politics has anything to do with his history. He just seems like a garden variety reactionary bigot
This was not in my bingo card
I don’t think I’ve ever seen “birthing people” used except to criticize the imaginary person saying “birthing people”
Basically, strap company said tariffs, paperwork, and unpredictability made it not worth it, and he was just shutting down. Both were very small businesses (maybe just one person, or at most a handful of employees) but there are a lot of niche businesses like this
What I've noticed is a pinch on very small businesses that deal with imports. A couple small music manufacturers shut down this week. One making specialized electronics in the US, basically couldn't source components consistently. The other, a guitar strap company in canada that mostly sold to US
Is that pattern that she’s a dumbass?
Is that a side of shrimpcarrots?
HE also doesn't like trans people very much.
It’s interesting how MattY’s strategic advice always aligns with his policy preferences
