I’m genuinely psyched.

Oh, I wasn’t aware we had measured and observed so many extra dimensions.
That must require a very fancy telescope/microscope indeed.

Slightly Bigger Kraaven.

UK keyboards take half the left Shift key, which you use constantly, and replace it with the backslash—which afaik has no function in English, only in coding—which you have never ever used once in your life.

Brits: explain yourselves.

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did.

An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did.

Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.

NBC news screenshot of interview with Texas representative Greg Casar "The progressive movement needs to change. We need to re-emphasize core economic issues every time some of these cultural war issues are brought up," Casar said. "So when we hear Republicans attacking queer Americans again, I think the progressive response needs to be that a trans person didn't deny your health insurance claim, a big corporation did - with Republican help. We need to connect the dots for people that the Republican Party obsession with these culture war issues is driven by Republicans' desire to distract voters and have them look away while Republicans pick their pocket."

on “Wonderful Christmastime,” Sir Paul McCartney set out to make a timeless christmas classic and also to figure out what every button on his synthesizer did, and he absolutely succeeded at one of those things

That’s odd: appointing someone comically unqualified to lead a federal agency seems so out of character.

Seems like that’s the only statement you ever make on this platform.
I am starting to doubt you have a pulse.

There’s no practical way for you, as a rando in their neighborhood, to check their documents, but I figure their skin color and funny last name is probably all the proof you need.

Ramos always brings the heat.

My Marvel lawyers to give me legal advice at work, AXM: my favorite comic run ever, and Ultimate FF, which got me way into comics.

Feeling it.

This reminded me of something I saw someone say and stuck in my head, in a way I've been chewing over (Repost with permission).

The Algorithm rewards hate which then trains people (via their commonly consumed cultural criticism) to only be skilled in expressing hate. That's a hard one for everyone

Yeah, bots aren’t paying the same mental/emotional toll we humans are.
And more engagement makes the app think their nonsense is really popular stuff.

Artificial intelligence cannot match the human capacity to type a sentence, stare at the sentence, delete the sentence, make a sandwich, and retype the same sentence

We’ve proven, then, that Brexit *caused* higher immigration?
Because some other noteworthy factors have happened in, say, the 2020-2022 period…

[handing mixtape to doctor]
please, my beats, they're very sick

tsa agent: sorry, you can only board with 3.4 oz of liquid or less.

me: ok, just toss it out then.

Kool Aid Man: *dressed in tommy bahama* babe what

Also: Thanos not only can form English words with his alien mouth parts, but learned American English so he could chat with Tony and Dr. Strange about philosophy.

I took a college class on the Beatles to try to figure it out, but it still seems like all their music could have been written by any commercial jingle writer.

Beatles: What if a song was ‘All you need is love’ over and over at the same pitch?
Us: Here is all the money that has ever existed.

I’m starting to suspect you’re not really a lover of freely admitting when you’ve been proven wrong, like your profile says.

At some point democracy buckles from the attacks.

Then you have either (1) no elections, “just until we get this woke alt-left under control,” (2) sham elections with one candidate, like North Korea or China, or (3) anyone who opposes him dies, like his heroes in Russia.

Here are the Google results, you can go through it and decide for yourself which path he will take to make sure he never has to win another election.

There are 50 ways he can end democracy, it will probably be a cocktail of several things.
State legislatures and election officials, military and militias, national voting restrictions, gerrymandering, threats, redirecting federal funding, making arrangements with other regimes to interfere…

I encourage you to learn a second verb. This one doesn’t apply to as many situations as you think.

Here’s your question.
You brought up the “dictator” stuff. Maybe a little insecure about it? Gotta keep telling yourself the news media is making it up?

Can you not tell the difference between the shock and dismay in your example, and your friend saying, “I think people like all the racist things I say.”

Those reactions are VERY different. Can you see?

It’s not that he said the word, it’s that he says he wants to be that, and that people like it.

So (1) Hannity, (2) Time, (3) Republican Club, (4) Truth Social, and of course indirectly to his staffers in his first term, we don’t have to count that.
But that’s what “over and over” means.
