I'm just going to keep pointing out that I think that basically everyone who's been treating PP like a giant, unelectable loser since he lead his party to win the 2nd most votes of any party in any election, ever, and their highest % of the vote since 1988 are setting yourselves up for a huge shock.

When I first arrived in Chicago to be a full-time critic in '99, I thought maybe one day I'd be fortunate enough to get a post at the Tribune and ride it into the sunset. Never imagined that the job *itself* would disappear. Michael deserves better. And we, as readers and film lovers, do too.

A bit of news: The Chicago Tribune has deemed the post of film critic non-essential, and therefore zeroed-out that post. My options were to take a newsroom reassignment to be named later, or a buyout to be taken more or less immediately. So...(1/3)

No, I think the anger at Yglesias is merited, frankly. The practice of floridly insulting people to build social cred is toxic in pretty much every instance, including when it's directed at him. HOWEVER: he is also hugely influential in top Dem circles and his political philosophy is very harmful.

Nobody has ever in the history of the world been so good at getting mainstream news outlets to write soft-focus profiles about them.

I think that it's a very big problem to pretend that there is a middle ground on this issue. I also think that if anyone thinks that if having racism dismissed is only something that happens to Jews, they are not qualified to write about racism in Canada.

Anyway, flight attendants don't make a living wage, so what incentive do they have to play by the rules when it literally often makes more sense to just go work at a Tim Hortons or whatever?

The idea that flight attendants are vital workers only makes sense if you believe that passenger air travel is a vital service, and it just... isn't. Except rich people want it to be one, since they fly so much more than everybody else.

Air Canada's CEO admitting to the media that their entire plan for the flight attendants' strike was "have the government say they're not allowed" and that they have no other ideas about how to deal with the strike is really a "yeah this is how Canada REALLY works" moment if ever there was one

One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said β€œsome guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.

Sure, we can talk about the pros and cons of mail-in ballots, but what’s really bad is when a guy in office needs 1,000 FBI agents to search for his name in the Epstein files to cover up all of his child raping.

Say what you will about Gavin Newsom, but he’s a fighter, whether that’s against Trump, trans children, or his own constituents with nowhere to live.

Biden meeting Trump during the handover of the presidency.

The walls of the oval office are a patterned cream and off white with a large gold framed portrait above the white stone mantle piece topped with greenery.

This is the flanked by 2 more goldcframed portraits on each side.

Trump's oval office

The greenery is gone.

A extra decorative marble panel with gold inlay has been added to the fireplace surround. The mantlepiece has 7 gilt silver pieces atop it, flanked by two decorative gold scones on the wall wither side.

No less than 11 gold framed portraits are visible across the walls, with the strong suggestion there are more all across the walls.

Afaik they're gilt silver items gifted to Eisenhower's White House. They used to mostly kinda rotate them through a room "the gold room" (because there's 1000 of them) but I'm guessing from the photos that Trump has them all out everywhere.

The comparison between the Biden office and his now is πŸ™„

Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.
