Friends don't let friends commit war crimes.

We really need to stop allowing people to brand their character flaws and personal failures as neurodivergence.

Probably a good call with libertarians.

The funny thing about edgy enlightened despot stanners is that what they really wanna be is a overgrown goddamn swine like Ceaucescu or Niyazov or Mugabe or Chavez.

And they get very upset when anyone points this out.

Fair.

It’s both extremely funny and a very difficult-to-replicate demonstration of regime impotence

I have a general principle that Dems who do corruption should get punished worse than Republicans because they ought to know better but in Cuellar’s case him telling Trump to fuck off like hours after getting a pardon means he gets a pass this time

Aaron was clearly being unprofessional, but I'm a lot less convinced he was being a dick.

It's only my sympathy for her circumstances that is getting her some benefit of the doubt. And it isn't a lot.

Well. This is the post it was replying to:

Yeah. 😬

Okay, now I think it's just unprofessional for Aaron to do this on an official account.

She was playing dumb? The screenshot I saw had her ask for understanding because of the stress.

It does read more as a lashing out in frustration in this context, but still, you are the head of the mod team. This is beneath you.

I read it more as lashing out in frustration at people misrepresenting their decisions. Which points to a crisis at the mod team.

Yeah. It's a dick move.

Lady had her husband abducted by ICE, made a post imploring someone to shoot Trump, got suspended, used an alt account to complain prompting this.

It's more that what "most reliable" varies depending on the denomination.

My progressive denomination described it as the general gist of what happened, but not that it was literally what happened. Definitely right on it being the most reliable.

Its weird how it seems like the tech right is always swinging between ‘autistic people are superior and valuable’ and ‘we need to find out how to eliminate autistic people’

Don't spit in my eye and tell me he's Rain Man.

God I am tired of people blaming being an asshole on autism.

Autism Speaks.

What I love in the performance is how you can see him wrestling with that question of like, what am I, who am I, what can or do I aspire to be? throughout the whole series

They really sell the part where literally becoming president was his road to Damascus moment

Which is immensely weird!

And become that man again. And then Crete carries it to the finish line by extracting the promise on her husband's memory to do so.

He doesn't say he isn't hurt or angry about what Arthur did, but that he believes it doesn't define who he is and that he deserves a chance to be better.

The last conversation they have together proves this. Garfield challenges Arthur to remember when he was at his best.

As a member of the same denomination as Garfield, I find the scene where Arthur tries to resign deeply resonant, and I feel it's the start of Arthur's redemption. Garfield lets him confess his sins, and then forgives him and offers him a hand.

He goes from machine thug to backstabber to someone who grew into being a president.

I appreciated MacFadyen as Gaiteiu and will always have a love for Bradley Whitford as Blaine, but Offerman has the most range.
