I really hope there were some enterprising workers who made backups of files for future generations.

Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm looking at this from a glass half-empty perspective. People are waking up and that's a good thing.

52% is a majority, but not, like, a BIG majority.

I'm disappointed in my fellow Canadians.

Proof that any united body can topple even the most “superior” authority; history shows it time and again. From revolutions to civil rights movements, when people move as one with purpose and conviction 👇🏾

Not without preconditions:
1. Corporate-backed Dems must be challenged in primaries by grassroots, populist candidates
2. Centrists who even go so far as to HINT at "bipartisanship" must be ousted and replaced by progressives willing to fight.

This article reads like it was written by those "abundance" guys, who propose "radical" new ideas like Reagan-style deregulation.

The article takes for granted that wind turbines would be upsetting to "scenic" Oregon. It's trying to get me to hate regulations and love the gun-shop owner.

WTH?

Did Wednesday have an intimacy coordinator on set? I know that a lot of older directors of Tim Burton's age are reticent to hire intimacy coordinators, so I don't know if one was on set.

But the tango scene in Ep 3 was dull!

But together?

Together they have zero chemistry. They barely look at each other, they barely touch each other, they hardly seem to yearn for each other.

It should be criminal to have Gomez and Morticia be on screen together and not have it be SCORCHING HOT. Their passion never dies!

Both are excellently cast in the series. Individually in their roles, they bring a lot of comedy, drama and nuance to their respective characters.

I love Guzman playing up Gomez as goofy and supportive. And Zeta-Jones is charming as ever as Morticia.

I finished watching the first four episodes of Wednesday Season 2.

It's campy, it's fun, I'm enjoying it! I like that the rest of the Addams family has a bigger role to play, even as this is Wednesday's show.

But I have one critique, and it involves these two: Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzman.

The NYT is using the Fox News playbook of "some people say", not to quote real people, but to attribute the editorial line of the paper to others, to influence public opinion.

It's so funny how there always seem to be JUUUUUUUSTT ENOUGHH Dems in any given legislature or court who seem to agree with the GOP enough to get whatever the GOP want passed.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say the party are fascist collaborators....

Because for the DNC, disqualifying any Democrat candidate counts as "purity testing", and purity testing is wrong.

...

... unless said candidate is being disqualified for being progressive. Then it's A-OK! 👍

TikTok's algorithm is suppressing news on the LA protests (and plenty of other protests, too), so users have adopted "Music Festival" as a way to circumvent the censors.

Ooohhh! I thought they’d have a full reveal episode or something.

Wait wait wait, if this is the season finale, when will we know who won Fool’s Gold? We were promised 4 weeks ago that we’d have an à awe by now!!

Every. Single. Time. I can't imagine how tiring it is for SWs to have to constantly rebuild, to see websites initially welcome them and their clients only to discard them for the sake of "community".

Progressives have other, more important things to worry about. The think pieces on this ad campaign explained the eugenics and white supremacist dog whistles, and now a bunch of lib-to-left customers won’t shop at AA. It’s that simple.

Now, about the FBI being used to track down state senators…

Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security CALGARY - During an outdoor campaign rally, security rushed a shaken Pierre Poilievre to safety after he was tragically struck by a lone question from a journalist.

Radar! Like Big Bird’s plush bear!

I also wish ill on J K Rowling. I hope her new show flops.

Yes, exactly, thank you! Finally a sensible approach to this issue.

YOU'RE JUST CAUSING CHAOS AND WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A SERIOUS DISCUSSION OVER HERE ABOUT VITALLY IMPORTANT THINGS!!!!

Counterpoint: if you ordered a "hot dog, hold the bun", that restaurant wouldn't charge you any less and would still ring it up in its system as a hot dog.

And here I thought they were going to make a manly-man's menu and call them "Hommelettes", so that men don't feel emasculated when they order them.

In light of Trump’s worsening cruelty, vindictiveness, and ever more belligerent attacks on democracy, many of you ask: “What can I do now?”

Here are a baker’s dozen of recommendations. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-can-do-f3d

"The reason the Dems are a failed party is because they have collectively decided that the best policy for any issue is a halfway compromise between a good idea and fascist bigotry, rather than fighting for any sort of coherent ethical framework"

This is such a perfect quote, I'm gonna memorize it!

Weaponized ignorance

Good thing my wife isn't a Star Wars fan, because how the hell am I supposed to compete with THAT?! Have you seen Manny's forearms?!?!

And that slutty black apron?! I'm an actual pastry chef and I can't match his rizz!
