Are two weapons better than one?

This is a great video, and that falchion is beautiful.

I always wanted a nice falchion.

Remember the debut of "data journalism?" What other kind is there? I thought at the time. Turns out "data journalism" is just regurgitating polls! A toxic feedback loop where journalists uncritically report whatever polls say and then ask people what they think again.

I wish the favorability ratings were a little higher, but I'll take the polling boost if it's all we can get.

We should have been calling Trump's tariffs "import taxes" from the start, and I don't know why we're not.

Tariffs are a tax on imports, it's that simple, tariffs are an import tax that we, the importers, pay on international goods.

Trump is making us pay taxes to import goods and materials.

Ignorance is how we got here. Sigh.

I wish people's opinions of the party were significantly higher, but I'll take the bump on the generic ballot!

Just remember: The polls were good for Harris, too. Make sure to put in the work, just trusting the polling isn't enough.

Now that polling is starting to show a D+7 or D+8 waves with regularity, the gerrymandering attempts look even more pathetic. The GOP can’t save their House majority with the 8-9 seats they’re hoping to squeeze out through redistricting.

Let them be wrong about you. There's nothing to prove. Says Skeletor looking quite dismissively.

We've gotta' do it folks, we have no other choice!

i am proposing a complete & total shutdown of european leftists posting on bluesky about american politics and culture until we can figure out what the hell is going on

1) The couple is Hispanic, not white. 2) If we can’t understand that people in *a vast sea of propaganda* (including friends/family), who likely tune in more to entertainment than politics could have voted Trump, forgiving them when they genuinely feel shame, we are Never Forgivers. Alienating.

For me, it's the strangled justification: "The world must be PEOPLED!"

there is absolutely trading taking advantage of non public information by members of Congress but what Pelosi did, and has done for some time, is buy large amounts of long dated call options on large-cap stocks, and that is not really a way it is possible to insider trade

I think a bigger problem is less that Paul Pelosi is a market genius than that the entire growth in the Dow is like 5 stocks.

Allow them to cook.

The Devil's Advocate is a classic, and come to think of it it's been too long since a rewatch.

A gritty live action serialized reboot of Sealab 2021 starring Scott Bakula and a CGI talking shrimp.

Someone give me money for this skeet. Hire me, I can do this shit all day.

ET but it's about his aunt and uncle's struggles raising a young special needs boy after the unexpected and traumatic passing of his parents.

Alf, but it's a gritty reboot prequel about how he overcame the personal traumas he experienced on Melmac and found his inner strength to cut the strings tying him to his planet and the courage to start over in a new home (with lots of high concept science fiction told as a serialized mystery box.)

It was a formative movie for me as a child.

"Life is in their hands, death is on their minds."

That shit goes hard, ngl.

not that this will happen, but the republican party losing 53% of trump’s vote would put dem supermajorities in both the house and senate

Yeah, fantasy and science fiction are rich, maybe I don't see them so often since I follow so much politics. That's on me.

I think I just miss the old forum style, y'know? The chance to get in depth on a subject without a 300 character limit.

I'm grousing, that's all. Nostalgic, maybe. 😅

Yeah, I'd have missed out on some of my favorite people if I hadn't changed the moderation settings. Meanwhile I'm on so many lists, I wonder how many people never get a chance to see *me.* 😭

Actually that latter one is probably for the best.

It's probably from your Moderation Settings. Imo, the blocklists & labels are holding back growth. Groups will brigade someone & get them labeled. I've turned some of them off because it's clearly a mess.

Edit: I googled it and yes, I got it right. One point for Max!

This is the way.

"Against my will, I am sent to bid you: Come into dinner."

Did I get that right? I know I'm close...
