Two Questions

It's getting pushed because our Tech Oligarchs bet the farm on AI, and don't want to be holding the bag when the music stops.

Superman absolutely slaps, go watch it! The Giganerd Mr. Terrific is my favorite character!

OP desperately needs to learn about deterrence.

This is it. The worst post I've seen all day. I am cringing sharing a country with this...creature.

Never let these cowards call you weak.

Every blue-haired they/them liberal arts grad living in NYC is tougher than this sad little bitch.

Please vote in the primaries! The Dem establishment tried everything save calling a hit on Mamdani, but he still won! Primaries are the best way to rip these people down!

The Confederates who filled the rank and file also weren't duped, they were familiar with the arms of the day and knew precisely the horrifying things they do to people, and still volunteered to get shot to pieces in defense of slavery.

The Confederate States raised arms to not be called Americans, made their whole Constitution and Ordinance of Secession and everything!

Vance, oddly enough, has just proven to me that America is principles alone, having very little to do with borders or people at all.

Starting up classical guitar again was a good idea. It's not as painful to play as steel strings, it's much more able to do complicated music like video game music while still having old repertoire, and it's not super loud!

Unfortunately for us all, doomer fatalism is more comfortable than gearing up for the fight, and it's fun to own the libs by laughing off their caring about stuff with "lol nothing matters, your efforts are at best counterproductive and probably treasonous".

This is what I'm betting will happen. The '26 field is wide open, what with people (rightly) despising the Dem establishment. The iron is white-hot for another Obama style breakout candidate.

The Glonzo Strategy Sometimes You Just Need to Win

I consulted Clausewitz, and he says that sometimes you just need to give the people Glonzo.

I hope you vote in the primary, and fwiw I severely doubt we've heard of who's gonna be the '28 nominee.

Out of curiosity, who do you like for 28?

I have no idea why people are attempting to manifest a race between Trump and their (and many people's) least favorite Dem. There's enough to doom about, do people need even more?!?

The pining for another Trump win to "own the libs/centrists" rather than even entertaining hope for a decent Dem nominee is starting to send me.

I sincerely hope the people of this opinion unite behind a better candidate like NYC did for Zohran.

The Dem Establishment pulled out every stop save ordering a hit on him and he beat their choice by more than 10 points!

Please vote in the primaries y'all!

Practicing classical guitar again has really helped my anxiety, it was flaring up pretty bad today.

Kai!

Happy Fourth of July.

Because people don't believe you when you tell them. It's too evil to contemplate, much less admit your Rep voted for this (if they're an R), so they flatly deny it even if you show them the black and white text of the bill.

Furious? Consider a run for local office. Cities, counties, and states are the only places we’ll be able to make meaningful progress and stop serious harm over the next year+. We’ll help you get started. runforwhat.net

They may not like losing Medicaid, but that's friendly fire they're willing to take to watch the ICE Gestapo brutalize people. The latter is more important to them than their very lives.

There's a bunch of people who believe only the Dems have agency, and that leads them to strange places.

Welcome to the party, pal!

...are they really coping about someone using cinema techniques we've known about for more than a century, and artistic decisions we've known about for literal millennia?

I'd never leave my house again if I made a post so ignorant, paranoid, and embarrassing.

everyone in the natsec and FP community increasingly just losing their minds as the topical questions in US FP and natsec these days increasingly devolve to the level of "should we lick this toaster while it is on? some experts weigh in"

Happy Juneteenth! Glorious Freedom Day!

D&D doesn't do anywhere near enough with physical ranged classes, like with crossbows and bows and slings. Everyone uses Cantrips for ranged damage :(
