On A Midnight Run

Same on both counts. It's a bigger staple in our house than bread!

I feel like the pope being an American cinephile is God finally rewarding Scorsese for a lifetime of devotion

Yeah, no totally. A person disagreeing with your feelings and relying on cold, hard fact is probably a collaborator. Look at you, doing an activism!

No totally, man. Progress means further stigmatizing mental illness, instead of listening to the countless professionals that say that your half-baked first thought isn't actually the best one.

Never workshop, man. Feedback and teamwork is for assholes.

Columbo in his first episode looks like a dog that's just come back from the groomer

"Imagine a city that I just looked up on Google for details. It's a bit like nawleans, only up. The weather is 71 degrees with 46% humidity. The people were doing people things, like breakfast and trains, until the Fire Nation attacked."

IDK, as someone who writes p localized fiction, this is grim

I won't link the "Alt" NPS post, but there's really something cynical about writing murder fantasies about a city you're not connected to.

It reads cynical, too. No soul in it, because they've got no soul in CLT.

A heartfelt plea should at least have heart in it, right?

Agreed. Also, I'm not feeling charitable toward them, and I'm sick of their "I'm just baby" and "how were we supposed to know" shit.

They're losing their political home b/c of the same decisions they never learn from. I'm not welcoming these people under the tent until they learn how to coexist

Oh damn! I'm glad you're okay!

At the risk of summoning a reply guy... like, not everything needs to be a joke. And not everything requires a response! (Or at least their response).

Would it short-circuit them so terribly to be sincere for a short period of time? Is that too much?

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like:

saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3

and a worker tier whose emails are like:

Dear Jim,
First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…

Damn, we got pedo bots before GTA 6

I'm going to burst an aneurysm.

As someone with stents in my brain who relies on health care...

Yeah.

Like even healthy business owners needed that shit. We're getting in to an age where there's no small business, period. No more single proprietor, no more mom-and-pop, nothing.

So mad tonight, but at least I know I'm not the only one

He's terminating health care for those of us who need it most. I could go blind from a preventable disease, because his greedy ass doesn't want to be inconvenienced by air travel.

But now we don't have that.

So essentially what the democrats did for me is tell me to curl up and die.

I don't have the money to spend on premiums. Workplaces won't hire anyone right now, but especially not someone like me with resume gaps and disabilities.

So I try to scrape money together via "self-employment".

The marketplace was a decent stopgap for people pursuing contracting or self-employ...

My health care costs. Like, a lot. I need it to keep my vision; I need my vision to work.

I've never since I've entered the work force held a job that included benefits. Not even as a tech writer. I was told to go to the marketplace, so I did.

Now I'm disabled.... [1/3]

I don't think I can articulate my level of rage for this, but also, how the fuck is she not accountable to every single democratic voter in the US? Like this isn't just NH, baby; sort of fucking us all over here.

Baldwin to vote against government shutdown deal emerging in U.S. Senate Baldwin announced her decision in a statement Sunday night

@baldwin.senate.gov voting no! Thank you for listening to our calls and letters!

So far, WI is not on this list, and that's good to see.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

If I were a hopeful type, I would say that maybe all our pleas to not be fucking useless got to him this one, isolated time.

But I'm a cynic, so I'm going to guess that he has juuuust the right number of votes for this shit, and he's covering his ass against a total mutiny.

Tammy Baldwin is one of those who's constantly trying to walk the line b/w doing something relevant and getting reelected by the shithead brigade. Like much of WI/MSN politics, she goes on name recognition and staying benign enough that ppl won't vote *against* her.

But stand for something? Never

I hope everyone gets food poisoning

The sorts of consequences I want to see for this are very much NOT the "we take the high road" sorts of things...

"Just because" is such a great reason to live your bliss. Good for that kid <3

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇
