A lot of this is ass covering, but still pretty telling that *Lindsay Graham* is trying to pump the brakes on Bibi's total state collapse train.

A can of Rogue Berry Blonde beer

Rogue went bankrupt and liquidated, so is this the last can of Berry Blonde on Earth?

TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsk... • 1d • Joined May '23 Birth of a Nation is a misunderstood film, IMO, depiction is not endorsement, and DW Griffith's contributions to cinematography shouldn't be overshadowed by the fact that some people decided to interpret his film as supporting controversial political agendas.

目 TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsk... • 2h • Joined May '23 Huh. The film's treatment of Lincoln is surprisingly sympathetic. I think I can see what Griffith was going for, but some of the choices he made really detract from the more nuanced ideas he wanted to put across (why do the black characters speak like that?) 031 04 TheCybersmith @thecybersmith.bsky.social • Joined May '23 THAT'S NOT A TRIAL!

friends, I have brought you a gift

Welcome back, Franco-Prussian War.

Also, refuse to provide any votes for/filibuster any supplemental war funding bill.

Win the midterm elections and pass a war powers resolution.

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.

I have repeatedly asked people how AI is going to put me or anyone who works for me out of a job, and they're just like "well it will."

...that's an article of faith, not an answer.

Yeah? Like, of course it's not the centerpiece of her campaign. The shitty reality is that it's an unpopular position. And yet she defended it and refused to cave to transphobic pressure.

The ICE bill didn't pass though. It's been blocked in the Senate. It was going to pass the House no matter what.

Kamala said she would "follow the law" and provide gender-affirming care to transgender federal prisoners.

What part of that fact are you complaining about?

Going thru some old pix tonight, and came across this.

It's true our medical system is a mess. But the doctors, researchers and EMT themselves?

Inside that pile of machinery is a 4 lb newborn whose insides all pointed the wrong way. 50 yrs ago? Doesn't live 2 days. But now? Thriving teenager.

Me too. I just don't enjoy it, at all.

I love Marathon the franchise, and that is why I am delighted that Marathon the PvP extraction shooter is failing catastrophically.

Whole thread is worth reading.

It is critically important to begin the next phase of American life, if there is one, from the principle that Donald Trump was ineligible for office as of January 6, 2021 and that everything he has done since then is a felonious usurpation of a legitimate authority he does not possess.

Every time I say “They are not beating the socially acceptable ageplay allegations” it injures me because there’s nothing stopping these people from

Anyone else remember the stupid internet wars that happened when this delusion was first proposed? You had bootlicking Elon fanboys all over the web declaring hyperloop the greatest invention in history and demanding that California stop work on high-speed rail because it was "obsoleted."

What do you want the opposition party to do right now that they're not already doing?

ah yes, continuing an outstanding tradition of American public diplomacy.

She thought everyone really wanted mass deportation and secret police. No question she was a true believer. Sucks to suck.

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

Unforgettable CART TV moment: Gordon getting out of the car and kicking the Blue Oval logo on the engine cover - on camera live! - leading Bob Varsha to quip "That crackling sound you hear is bridges being burned, I'm afraid."

Who can forget Robby Gordon's ill-fated CART career, punctuated by intentionally overreving and blowing up his Ford-Cosworth engine at Road America? He was always fast but sucked at managing his car, so he flamed out.

maybe this is just because I'm an old fart who grew up watching early-90s CART/NASCAR/IMSA, but "may the best driver win" also includes "the driver who's best at maximizing their equipment without breaking it."

unironically yes.

the fact that pro racing cars hardly ever fail now has made pro racing materially worse to watch. drivers don't really have to manage equipment anymore. an entire element of strategy gone because it's just "gotta go fast" all the time, not "well, who can manage their brakes best?"
