The thing is the Greens are a crank party riddled with grifters and weirdos and led by a charlatan, Labour shouldn't even be in a close fight with them let alone Reform.

the thing is Carney actually has an ideology and something resembling a plan: Sir Keir does not

The thing is if you watch the video of the press conference, the reporters had to ask Brady three different ways if the White House shitpost bothered him before he kinda-sorta said he didn’t like. He wasn’t β€œmiffed”, he couldn’t give a shit.

The thing is, I get it, I don't begrudge people that, but look at Bulbasaur's wee face.

The thing is:
Diese MΓ€nner HASSEN es, dass eine junge Frau stolz und glΓΌcklich ist. Sie hassen es generell, wenn Menschen, die sie hassen, stolz und glΓΌcklich sind. Und dann versuchen sie, diese Freude durch Androhung von Gewalt und durch DemΓΌtigung zu ruinieren.
The cruelty is the point.

the thing is, I think I can name them off the top of my head: Moulton, Suozzi, arguably Gallego, HRC (not relevant), you could maybe include Allred, who dropped out of a senate race...it's a really short list! and the party is pretty big!

The thing is, Vance lies so constantly that there’s no reason to believe anything he says. The man made up stories about Haitian immigrants in his own state eating pets just to terrorize them. Why should anyone believe anything JD Vance says about anything?

the thing is that the losers saying dumb stuff in the media are there because they're not the people in the labs making the actual innovations, who are busy building cool stuff (and stopping Hegseth from stealing it)

The thing is, Kemi has a very clear idea of herself as a thoughtful, intellectual person who engages at a deep level on policy questions and despite being notably bad at that the real challenge to that self conception is her utterly gutter politics approach to the Left.

The thing is if Carly Rae Jepsen goes on tour in 2027 I’m contractually obligated to go

The thing is that in a normal world, people should have only the vaguest idea who is the head of the FBI

the thing is there actually *is* a story here, it's just inverted from what they're trying to sell. Obama revealed the contradictions between conservative and liberal understandings of race relations

The thing isβ€”and I say this as a practicing Catholicβ€”this is all β€œreligion” has meant in public discourse ever since gay marriage became an issue. β€œReligious beliefs” in courts are just β€œpolitical beliefs that can’t be made illegal.”

The thing is, unless they've changed things, this *isn't* true anymore -- bsky does hide things, it does make some skeets harder to see, and they've even admitted this all. While *still* saying "there's no algorithm that chooses for you."

The thing is that some people probably should see gore of their comfort character at least once

The thing is, I do actually have a pretty conservative ethic personally (though I suspect less so than Kruger; I want the Church of England to marry same sex couples), and I see statements like that and want to run a mile because I can smell the misery that would result a mile off.

Who wants this?

The thing is we do not expect much out of you white people. We been knew what it is. You will protect whiteness at ALL COSTS

We never expect you to be good, kind or understanding. We know who you are

The thing is that I bet Andy Samberg could do a killer Skeletor.

The thing is we have tied ourselves into knots to become a culture of vociferous condemnation or screechy support and not of just shutting up for a second for god's sake.

The thing is: I worry that quite a lot of people do want that.

The thing is, ensconced in my condo tower, the suburbs can feel bewildering. β€œWhy would *anyone* want to live like that?β€œ etc etc. Then I go there (for the 1000th time) and then I feel the weight of the suburbs, the seeming immovability, the legions of ppl for whom it is an inviolable norm

The thing is during the Cold War the explicit tradeoff was supposed to be: levels of economic inequality no one could seriously defend morally on own terms AND was socially corrosive, for personal freedom with respect to the state. Now....

The thing is, the people pushing harsh immigration policies never take into account that these are human beings. Every one. Not just statistics to get votes.

The thing is this should be a beautiful story. Quinn Hughes. Connor Hellebuyck. Johnny Gaudreau jersey. But it fucking sucks because of *entire world*
