Shit, I'm starting to think all of this conservative talk about religious freedom was really just cover to advance a conservative Christian agenda.

Did Banks ever write a story centering on a drone that would choose to follow around psychopaths and restrain them when they try to do bad things? Might've been interesting...

Ok, aging hippy guy with bandana surprises me and comes out strong in favor of more apartments and traffic calming features.

Cold drink on a day cold enough the iced coffee warms you up.

At my first community zoning meeting.

Firmly strengthening my belief that this sort of neighborhood democracy is an awful idea.

This guy's only good season was already behind him when he publicly announced being scared to ride the 7 train 25 years ago.

Time to tax unrealized gains and inherited wealth levels high enough to make billionaires effectively non-existent.

Peter Cushing from Star Wars. And for my kids, creepy CGI Peter Cushing from Rogue One.

Remembering all of those predictions about how post-Dobbs Republicans would embrace a Nordic style welfare state!

New Anna von Hausswolff is amazing.

I also love my annual habit of discovering a new artist then having them come out with a new album a few months later.

There are certain individuals on here who are magnets for horrific takes in their replies which are very useful for this purpose.

Literally every one of those issues - except maybe guns - is an economic issue that results in improving economic lives of voters. Maybe it's not as immediately obvious to someone like Josh???

I'd also be shocked if a single voter gave a shit about land acknowledgments at DNC meetings.

So, uh, this copies the DVD cover of Sicario and puts Trump in the same position and prominence as the guy who murders multiple children.

I'm sure Russia would offer us a great deal on Pyotr Velikiy if we need a giant ship that carries a bunch of long range missiles.

Given that we've now decided to stop enforcing money laundering laws, and financial crimes in general, I'm starting to think that the escalation to murdering drug traffickers is motivated by something other than a desire to reduce drug abuse.

I think cutting off arms to Israel (a very good thing) is not incompatible with being a Nazi (a very bad thing).

It's also good for those of us who support the former, to not welcome the latter!

What the fuck is she talking about? The support for this guy is weirdly divorced from ideology.

Need a donut alignment chart - it has the proper dough and flavor, but lacks the shape.

So is Bloodlines 2 actually trash or is it a solid Dishonored style immsim pretending to be a successor to a classic RPG?

There's a whole Reddit thread about a guy who accidentally got almost the same Nazi tattoo.

Lots of ideas on how to fix it once somebody inevitably pointed out the symbolism to him!

I thought the Blackwater stuff was just guarding embassies. Not great that we outsource that, but ok...

But the Reddit posts, plus Blackwater, and now a Nazi tattoo...

Maybe if you define it as "played Germany in Hearts of Iron" or something?

There's probably a discussion to be had about that, but it's pretty far from being ideologically curious to the point you get a fucking SS tattoo.

This is pretty much exactly what Blockbuster was like 25 years ago. Renting most stuff now seems a lot easier, particularly if you're not in a city.
