Clifford Clinton - 1937

With SNAP benefits going to shit because of rich assholes and corruption running rampant through politics I'd like to point your attention to a Clinton.

No, not one of those Clintons. This Clinton. Clifford Clinton.

Wartime consiglieres they are not.

last four Republican presidents:

- senile actor who did arms for hostages and destroyed the social safety net
- his VP, ex-CIA director who started a war
- that guy’s son, born again wastrel who started another war
- pedophile reality tv star who destroyed the constitution

when i pour one out for the departed sometimes i just pour it into my glass bc i’m just not that convinced it’s getting to them

They need to get these things in the hands of every middle-aged dad in New York. Mix in a few 90s Mets and Yankees and give the gift of a few glorious minutes remembering a Mackey Sasser or a Greg Cadaret. Cuomo wouldn’t stand a chance.

Wouldn’t have expected a 33-year-old candidate and his team to take design inspiration from the 1990 Score baseball card set. I tip my cap.

Do you you think there's a sort of... content creation apocalypse coming? Like this sort of thing:

1) People have limited eyeball time. You can increase it marginally, but certainly not an order of magnitude above what it is now (people have to sleep!)

2) Media creation has gotten ever easier

I knew a guy who played pickup hoops with Tony Romo when he was at Eastern Illinois. He said Romo dropped into a serious game with a bunch of guys who had all been good high school players and totally dominated them without even trying that hard. Not even his main sport! Pro athletes aren't human.

This is something I appreciate about foreign films and TV. Most of the actors look like regular people.

'We're citizens!': Oklahoma City family traumatized after ICE raids home, but they weren't suspects A woman says her family’s fresh start in Oklahoma turned into a nightmare after federal immigration agents raided their home, taking their phones, laptops, and life savings – even though they were …

Please highlight this story.

ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago.

Instead of pharmaceuticals we had ads for weird OTC medications like Anbesol, Doan’s, and Primatene Mist. Aftershave also loomed large as I recall.

Wary of speaking it into existence but between Trump's debilitating case of Permanently 1989 Brain Disorder and given the other creeps he's appointed, I feel like we have to consider the possibility of Karl Malone getting appointed to this job.

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.

Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

In the era that I studied when I was still part of the academic world one recurrent topic was that of "over-mighty subjects". This referred to subjects of the Crown who were themselves so powerful that they threatened the sovereign power of the Crown itself. In the US we have no sovereign, or ...

So one of the things that I think is lost on AI proponents is what I call the card catalog effect, a thing I shouldn’t call it because a lot of people probably have no experience with a card catalog.

Feels like you have to use the Assistant Manager chip now, right?

fundamentally they do not believe that they are here to serve America. some believe that there is a true volk whom they serve and others believe that America exists to serve them.

The president is a racist piece of shit Does it make you feel better to hear it said plainly

I think this headline from 2019 holds up pretty well.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

My dad died. Classic start to a funny story. He was buried in a small village in Sussex. I was really close to my dad so I visited his grave a lot. I still do. [DON’T WORRY, IT GETS FUNNIER.]

If a new version of Dazed & Confused came out this year it would be set in 2008. 🫠

every single one of these guys is an incel loser who thought that being rich would make them popular and well-liked and when it didn't happen they lost their minds even further

Getting this bad boy in 1984 was mindblowing.

Mohamed Salah is the first player in #PremierLeague history to score 10 goals and make 10 assists before Christmas.

This song really does rip. It’s cool to see folk music organically gain popularity again. youtu.be/e9LJh81n_zA?...

The photo going around of the High Life gingerbread dive bar is mine from 2021. This was a one-time promotion. Here’s the video of how building it went.

Should they do it again? Absolutely.

i have come to feel that both of them (and 'pundit genre' they are a part of) are eating off of a fundamental revulsion not so much at the technology but the habits of mind of the people pushing them.
