That movie came out when I was 16 and it dazzled me from a visual experience more than any other film to that point but yet I have no desire to see another one lol

It’s amazing how after 200+ years we all just missed the part of the constitution that clearly states Republican presidents are kings. I personally feel stupid.

This rhetoric is now completely ubiquitous across the Republican Party but yet I’m supposed to apologize and feel bad about a Clinton quote from a decade ago that was taken out of context.. and that’s supposedly the savvy politics knower position

Jesus.. I live a few blocks from there closer to H St and they’ve really increased their presence on H recently. It’s so stupid

An interesting time to be doing this when all the recent headlines are about them quietly rehiring thousands of people because stuff was breaking

“What’s happened to Silicon Valley? Why did the Ayn Rand–loving heroes of tech become Donald Trump’s bootlickers?”

Uhh they became Donald Trump bootlickers precisely because they were Ayn Rand lovers..

He just reads books!

Trump’s war on clean energy is sabotaging U.S. #solarmanufacturing.
New policies are now threatening solar investment, jobs, and our ability to compete in global markets. 📉⚠️ Read our new blog piece by BGA's @tlewis.bsky.social here: loom.ly/Wz8388s

YouTube video by Nicktoons Mr. Hyunh Sings "The Simple Things" | Hey Arnold! | Nicktoons

Okay not a movie but “The Simple Things” in Hey Arnold where Mr. Hyunh inexplicably has Randy Travis’s singing voice is a certified banger youtu.be/WWsQ-03owSM

HAHAHAHA

we have a great track record when cutting corners to send people into space so this should end well!

It reminds me of when Kelsey Piper wrote a bizarre thread defending James Damore and describing his firing as a “formative experience”. If for some reason these events are that big a deal for you then you’ve got some deeper issues that need to be unpacked.

Especially since the first three of them really didn’t pitch well

Hey now August ‘22 was pretty fun as well

I’ll be honest.. it would be much more shocking if he confirmed it.

Many people would like to see less polarization of mundane issues but I think that’s backwards — if we try hard enough a successful liberal campaign against drinking raw sewage or bathing in nuclear waste could lead to the opposite becoming official government policy and there’s something to that

It’s also that they want to make it illegal for them to feel bad about themselves.

I always felt like people missed that COVID wasn’t anger over lockdowns or about “scolds” — it was about a desire for people to not have to feel bad about choices they made.

Just when I was feeling pretty confident knowing the original one smh

Yep. If you encountered this in everyday life you’d naturally do everything possible to avoid it and yet somehow it being on the Internet changes the calculus for them.. for reasons that make absolutely no sense

Knowing nothing about contracts.. I would have felt great if he signed for 3X this amount!

Any time spent arguing about actual crime rates, etc in DC is a stupid waste of time that totally misdiagnoses the problem.

It's also a consequence of people staying on twitter where everyone is trying to out right wing each other and they end up missing the forest for the trees.

There's no reason to establish tough on crime bona fides. It's irrelevant to what's happening.

Trump would do this if there were zero murders in DC. It has nothing to do with crime. The end game for this stunt is to increase disorder and crime and use that to implement further crackdowns.

It’s funny that the 2012 team used so many outfielders, as Adam played all 162 games in CF, but left field was a disaster that year and then Nick got hurt

10/10 on the IRA death themed dessert though

We could have had it all!

Btw they would rightly freak out if a person tried to suggest that the economy was bad because three people they knew recently lost jobs.

That’s why we have data about trends, etc to put stories into context. But it also means that your anecdotes are likely meaningless.

It’s amusing to a certain type of person anecdotes regarding crime supersede the need for actual data.

Here’s a fun anecdote I grew up in the middle of the woods in NEPA and a few properties down my neighbor brutally murdered two people trying to break into his house.

We have only one option as I see it. We must get to the nice round number of 100 by allowing our 50 biggest cities the option to become states.

I didn’t say that. I’ve read his work for years and I don’t believe that. But if you care about progressives taking the ideas of abundance seriously than this was a massive unforced error and it pisses me off because it makes everything harder.

Come on Matt. My colleagues go on a lot of podcasts too but it’s wild because none of them have ever been on the Adolf Hitler Power Hour. You don’t select the podcasts you go on out of a hat.
