“Make it take half the screen, red, and make a boo noise when you push it!”

They always think this, but then they are also always not smart

My job was funded by the IRA. Before the election I told my parents that if Trump won I would probably lose my job, but they said I was overreacting and voted maga anyways. Of course my job lost its funding so I had to move and get a new job. They're really mad I haven't given them my new address.

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

It is completely obvious that the party lost in 2024 because it overcommitted to a range of unpopular left-wing positions, some of which yielded disastrous policy results (like the Biden migration wave) while others merely persuaded constituencies that had voted Democratic in the past (like blue-collar Midwesterners or culturally conservative Latino men) that the party now cared more about climate change

In poll after poll, Americans have said that they know little to nothing about the IRA, with the most recent poll, out in April 2024, finding that 4 in 10 people say that they don’t know enough about the law’s provisions to have an opinion on them. At the same time, a July 2023 Data for Progress poll found that large numbers of Americans support provisions in the IRA when asked specifically about them, including tax credits for businesses that produce clean electricity, electric vehicles, and new clean energy technologies (69%); rebates up to $14,000 per household to improve home energy efficiency (71%); and ramping up production of American-made clean energy technologies (73%). And perhaps most significantly, support for these key IRA provisions has grown over time among all likely voters, especially Republican voters.

Utterly bizarre to describe climate change policy as some kind of radical-left albatross.

The IRA contained precisely the kind of 'kitchen table' programs everyone says Democrats should focus on — and they're popular!

The problem was that Americans *didn't know* what the IRA was or who passed it.

Europa Universalis 5 looks like it'll be a good game, but I'll definitely be waiting for an update or two before grabbing it.

AR-PHARAZÔN THE GOLDEN: What you have to remember also is he appeared in fair form.

CHOTINER: The next time the invasion of Valinor and the destruction of Númenor come up, I'll keep in mind that Sauron was handsome when it happened.

AR-PHARAZÔN: He was. Not that that excuses it.

CHOTINER: Right.

Trump’s swift demolition of East Wing may have launched asbestos plumes There is no confirmation that the Trump admin. followed abatement processes.

Here’s that drawing from earlier by itself.

Hey everyone!

Turros vs Furros 🧢⚡️🐺 (English Edition 🇺🇸 Print & Play) ARE YOU READY FOR THIS BATTLE?TURROS VS FURROS is a print-and-play PDF game.In Central City, two gangs face off on a board full of wild characters, special powers… and pure chaos.The Turros are a gang...

Ok ok ok why did no one tell me there is an Argentinian boardgame concerning a street gang vs furry turf war. (The English version is printout only, but hey there's no AI, the artist of the furries is indeed a furry and it's like $5, treat yourself.)

A party that controls every institution of government, including majorities in both chambers of the parliament, should be able to keep the lights on & the airports running. Malevolent incompetence.

Seems like air travel in the US is going to be largely suspended well before Thanksgiving if the shutdown lasts much longer.

Couple this sort of thing with the building fuel crisis in Russia, and Putin just looks weaker and weaker.

Happy Halloween! 🎃🍫🐺

It's been a while since our last #Battletech 'mech feature, but today we're looking at an old favorite, the Catapult!
Weighing in at 65 tons, this venerable chicken walker is probably the most famous fire support unit in the game.

A meme with a Catapult battlemech firing missiles over a man's head, carrying messages about the cruelty of war and the political dysfunction of the setting, all while he goes "Wow!! Cool robot!!!"

With it's distinctive profile and well-balanced build, it's no wonder that the Catapult has become the iconic artillery 'mech, seen in armies all across the Inner Sphere! Make it rain, mechwarriors!

Good foxes are happy foxes. :3

The Miami Herald might have averted a war by publishing this when they did.

the whole plan for operation midway in chicago was to frighten and terrorize people, and the administration hasn't considered what can happen when people decide they're more angry than they are afraid

For real next year because im mad at myself for not making Ryder a costume this year. Do you think he can sport a Fox McCloud look?
