Cat on a Hot Tintin Roof

Question 1 in Maine, which would've mandated ID requirements for voting and vastly limited mail-in voting, was annhilated.

Tonight was a resounding WE DON"T WANT THIS $H!T from the entire country.

Dammit... 15 million someones already made the joke.

JD Vance's flirtation with Erika Kirk must've been frustrating for Usha Vance, but what can she do? Make him sleep on the couch?

Trump is a paper tiger, he is not popular.

You yell shark, we've got a panic on our hands on the Fourth of July

Woof... Stranger Things trailer. Man, nothing says low-stakes, winning 80s pastiche like a special effects budget larger than the GDP of Brazil.

Re: Billie Eilish calling out Zuck to his face: One can become a millionaire through hard work, talent and savings. You become a billionaire because you've got a circuit blown in your head that happens to point you obsessively toward something rewarded by capitalism, instead of being a mass shooter.

To borrow a meme that was circulating, I know people who use subtext, and they are COWARDS!

3/ But we CANNOT have a candidate where the opposition literally just has to point at them and say "He's a Nazi, look at the tattoo." There are still some standards for candidates, at least in the Democratic party.

2/ It's not forgivable or ignorable for a political candidate. I think most of us are tired of Democratic candidates, who unless they have a literally perfect resume from 4th grade hall monitor to Harvard Law, are nitpicked for trivial reasons.

1/ I'm a Mainer and I went hard for Platner. I actually believe he might not have known until recently that it was a Nazi tattoo. That, for a citizen, is passibly forgivable, as long as they apologize, are contrite, and get it removed.

Remember that Trump and his administration are bullies, and if you punch bullies, they'll always back down and look for easier prey. It's that simple.

Some are trying to split hairs between Kimmel and SNL or South Park, like there's a distinction in Trump's eyes. Don't

Narcissists make absolutely no distinction about any negative portrayal of them. You're either a trained clapping seal or the enemy. That's it. There's no gray area.

Exactly. Your quiet, unmarried uncle from the 80s with a "good friend". The kids who could never ever settle down in class. The ones who struggled with reading assignments and were held back a grade. They were all always there.

The Republican House Budget Resolution's Potential $880 Billion in Medicaid Cuts by Congressional District The Republican House budget resolution would cost congressional districts an average of $2 billion each and could eliminate coverage for 15.9 million people.

Updated prices of stuff.

Rewatching Chernobyl because I've been suffused with weepy, dad energy in my middle aged years. Such a prescient snapshot of simple, human heroism striving against a world where facts are up for interpretation.

Guess they got tired of crashing planes and decided to try out the stock market.

They... they named the dire wolf puppy Khaleesi?!?

It may be fiddling with deck chairs on the Hindenberg, but i do enjoy getting to say Smoot-Hawley every day now.

Watching the SNL clips from last night, and, yeah, I don't find these Trump and Elon segments funny for the same reason I didn't care for Succession: Because the burning of Rome makes for good history, but was considerably less fun for those living there.

I suppose it's better than shooting your own economic d÷=k off.

Is there a German word for contempt toward performative resistance, while also feeling that you're not doing enough?

The world is being set on fire, and people still don't get that they voted for the arsonist.

Right, the story is about the ascension of the Emperor, not the tyranny of taxation and a corrupted and cowed Senate.
