Cloud's Strife

Notice they never actually say what Dems should be doing other than giving them money

my rock: affordable, manly, patriotic.

your rock: expensive, effeminate, sissy shit.

Posters placing their personal self at the center of the democratic process is an exercise in profound vanity and arrogance.

Reactionaries of all stripes and persuasions, are alike in their turgid yearning for a fictional past of their imagined childhoods.

People have an emotional relationship with Donald Trump that stretches the bounds of lucidity.

Iran War content is cocomelon for chicken-hawk boomers and zoomers; and the production of it is actively degrading to responsible citizens, who care about things like civic obligation or public service.

The Boondock Saints in 1999: catholic vengeance sure goes hard; ha ha gun go pew pew.

> in 2009: This is a lot more transphobic than I remember.

> in 2019: this is a two minute sizzle reel stretched over an hour and a half? It grossed less than the down payment on my house?

The Boondock Saints is easily the worst movie that I've seen more than once, and my assessment of it is significantly after worse after each subsequent viewing.

Breathtaking combination of arrogance and stupidity from Grim; who in an embarrassingly cloying manner, is trying out for the role as the left wing Cernovich.

honestly, I think about this panel often. we existing in such an infinitesimally small slice of the entire breadth of time.

*discipline 😩

Penultimate panel of Alan Moore’s Watchmen. Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias asks Dr. Manhattan if he was “right” in the end. Manhattan replies, smiling “‘In the end?’ Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends.”

That's insane. Good campaigns don't argue with voters, and certainly don't go looking for arguments. Campaigns that argue with voters constantly radiate the terrible vibes, which usually descend directly from the candidate.

Basically, in the course of campaign voter contact, when someone tells you their vote is not gettable for the candidate, you move on to gettable voters to talk to. Arguing just leads to what you experienced; a really unprofessional interaction.

good campaign data managers typically have a 1-to-5 score, with 1 being 'strong supporter' and 5 being 'strong not supporter'; which would basically amount to a 'do not call'.

This is the kind of staff message disciple that campaign professionals like to call "a real big yikes"

If i were a data director, I would simply mark the respondent as a [5], and move on to the next number on my contact list.

I guarantee there’s at least a small overlap between people excusing Platner and people who would tell me to kill myself because I work for a health insurance nonprofit.

It is impossible to declare one Simpsons bit as "the best", it's folly, a fool's errand.

That being said, the best Simpsons bit is Homer's first day at Globex Corp youtu.be/R3SbnMuiKPU?...

Every day I wake up and the president is, once again, posting through it.

People LOVE making some obscure other entity their sin eater.

He needs an excuse for backing Trump now that things have really gone tits up, so he’s going to blame us for his choice when the only tits we made go up (or down in transmasc cases) are our own.

i get to play video games *AND* sleep in a big bed with my spouse? Where's the downside?

'working class when boat'

And I want to be super duper explicit about this, the moment Maine Democrats nominate Graham Platner, a guy with a Totenkopf tattoo, for U.S. Senate, there will no longer be any moral high ground for any Democrat to criticize any Republican who openly displays Nazi symbols and use Nazi rhetoric
