Love that observation that to rich guys ideas are actually just desires

To be fair, this is a lesson that some people in his position NEVER acknowledge. I’m kinda shocked he said it at all. Maybe it’s because he’s been associating with people who do even fewer actual things than he does

It doesn’t help that these guys are actually great musicians and writers who can’t help but produce catchy tunes and memorable lyrics even when intentionally being the worst versions of themselves

Klein has always desperately wanted things to be okay, and to be reassured that the system ultimately works. That even he is writing like this, while too late, is a minor miracle.

Of which they seem to be… afraid?

This is the answer

I recommend the episode with the self-doubt and villain trash talking before the hero finds the next level of power needed to win. I think it’s called DragonballZ

I wish @civvie11.bsky.social would play this

... ...money?

Based on this, I’d think Obama *not* endorsing him, and just keeping quiet, would be the right way for Obama to help him and help pull the party leftward.

‘Land Of The Lost’ Series Reboot In Works At Netflix From Legendary Television Netflix has closed a deal with Legendary Television for 'Land of the Lost,' a reboot of Sid and Marty Krofft's 1974 sci-fi adventure show.

LAND OF THE LOST (1974-76) is the latest classic TV show to get a reboot by Netflix.

Sid and Marty Krofft "will produce the project" says Deadline, which is a good trick, since one of them is 95 and the other is dead.

If Walmart’s eating the tariffs, then what is the alleged purpose of the tariffs? To lower our national trade deficit with…Walmart?

Still the best example I have of someone who actually made their seemingly unreasonable childhood dream come true.

I was the one weirdo who traded for duals in 1994 because I wanted to make the terrible four- and five-color Rube Goldberg decks I loved barely playable. I still have a full set of 40 from back then, and sleeving them still feels wrong to me.

Noooo Charlie please don’t

Thanks for ruining my night’s sleep anyway. 😞

One thing I think we're missing in discussion of Commander deck power is speed. A deck that can pull off massive swings, but not until the player has eleven mana open, is very different than a turn three winner. Even if they're supposedly the same power level.

This 100%! I can’t for the life of me understand why “deck is built to win on turn X” isn’t routinely part of this conversation.

Part of me suspects that some people most involved in the discussions don’t like to bring it up *because* they know it’s a big problem - like casters vs. martials in D&D.

It’s not that Andor is there to save Star Wars. It’s just an independently a good show with artistic purpose beyond serving the franchise, but which still fits within it. It’s an example of the kind of thing that *could* be done more to make generally better shows and give SW more depth.

King: hey clive i read online that you were pro trans rights
Clive Barker: what an odd thing to say
Barker: why ever would you feel the need to remark on that
Barker: when it's the obvious opinion held by all right-thinking people
Barker: but yes

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass.

All great choices.

Yeah, what happened to the words and actions he disagrees with being vile, grotesque and disgusting, and the people saying and doing them being hysterical, paranoid and deranged? Does that not apply to this?

Considering how this Court treats the idea of precedent, this is practically an invitation to Trump to impeach whoever he wants.

100%. But I think he’s also realizing that Trump doesn’t think he needs the justices, either, and is begging for his rubber-stamp role to be spared.

It’s also what you’re best at. I enjoy your critical stuff, but peak bob for me is when you’re giving detailed breakdowns of why you love the stuff you love.

A quick post-cruise refresher from me before I do any serious delving into any particular current events:

Fuck fascists
Fuck -phobes
Fuck wealthy sociopaths
Fuck immigrant-haters
Fuck sexists
Fuck anyone who wants to invade Canada and/or Mexico
Fuck vaccine deniers
Fuck this administration
Etc, etc

Note that as far as the fascists go, I am not, in any way, handing it to them.
