Fortress of Solitude, by Jonathan Lethem

Fiction, but there's a whole history of nyc culturally from the 70's onwards (not so) hidden within.

Honestly, your reading comp skills leave a bit to be desired, but you do you.

If only there was a professional comic here who actually watched those sets 30 years ago with his own eyes.

I once witnessed a coworker (now a federal judge) exclaim: "That's the most pretentious thing I ever heard, and *I* went to Harvard!"

Took a second to register that it wasn't meant as an ironic joke.

If it's OK to keep Bonds and Rose out, it's perfectly fine to ding him for cheating and delay his election

Beyond spygate, he spent a lot of time during his career violating the spirit-if-not-the-letter of the rules. Can't whine about it because voters do the same when considering his candidacy.

You seem touchy about that.

You probably need a nap.

That is quite the zinger you've managed to unload, because certainly, if you scroll up, the one thing you're not doing is "arguing online."

It's hard to pull off this combination of oblivious hypocrisy, but congrats on sticking the landing.

And for the record, his victory probably had more to do with "shut up and vote for us or you'll get the incompetent buffoons who brought you the financial crisis" than it did any specific promises, but I'm sure you know that, right?

You really are dumb as a box of rocks, aren't you? You're trying to contradict me by spitting what I just said back at me.

I literally just said that he won because he "was promising to deliver us from Bushes failures." It's the fucking post you're replying to.

So your example is something he didn't say (go after bankers), something he couldn't do (close gitmo), something he didn't mean (pull out of middle east), and the same promise that every president has made since Clinton (FOCA)

Like I said it's a rorschach, you saw what you wanted not what was there

(And for the record, his victory probably had more to do with "shut up and vote for us or you'll get the incompetent buffoons who brought you the financial crisis" than it did any specific promises, but I'm sure you know that, right?)

But I'm sure you had a great understanding of the dynamics of the '08 campaign while you were scarfing down your lunchables, lol

LOL @ turbo leftist, you're as off-base in your description of me as your caricature of Barack.

I don't hate Obama, I know several people who worked in his White House and would vote for him again in a hearbeat.

I just recognize him for who he is, and draw my conclusions based on facts.

(His platform was really no different from Kamala's, or Biden's or Hillary's in the level of specificity, nor appreciably different from Schumer and Jefferies advocacy for "kitchen table" issues. Anyone saying otherwise has rose-colored glasses)

Oh he was, was he? What specific things did he promise that caused you to vote for him?

You speak with a lot of authority for someone who was 9 years old at the time.

"vague promise of hope" isn't promising anything and that is the problem. He was always milquetoast.

That's exactly the Loser Dem Energy that Jefferies and Schumer are trying to emulate, they just don't have the Shepard Fairey rorschach to do the heavy lifting.

"usable*"

*other than that one section near Philadelphia where the Acela's top speed is only slightly faster than a brisk jog.

A) Single stage electric snowblower cruises through less than 4 inches, struggles through 8. Waiting takes more than twice as long and is 4x the struggle

B) Every time you drive over snow it leaves an ice track that will remain until melted. Always clear the snow before taking the car out

They were ready to fire him two years ago, until they got lucky and snuck past the Dolphins at the end of the season.

In a just world, invoking 9/11 terrorists as an example of teamwork should have been a fireable offense on the spot.

You know I have no sympathies for any of those assholes, but this really does sound like bullshit. I'd be skeptical

Well, the ones who get angry that I refuse to stand for "God Bless America" at baseball games all do.

I dunno, nobody really quite has the anti-charisma of Chuck Schumer.

He'd post a video stomping on sno-cones, throw in some garbled message about global warming, talk about how ACA subsidies ending mean that you can't get ice packs for sports injuries, and somehow manage to make ICE more popular.

The first sip is basically just huffing CO2, not that there's anything wrong with that.

found the shill

And using the metric that "what people pay for" = "what people want" in a *choice-limited market due to existing ologopoly* is begging the question.

If it leads to the galaxy brained conclusion that "actually, more surveillance informed slop is good" it misses the whole point of anti trust.

Told me "you have no reason to think that,"

... while oblivious to the fact that there's more evidence for climate change than there is for the permanence of any financial cycle.

Just had a conversation with a Fla realtor who claimed that relative dropping home values there meant it was a good time to buy, because it's "always cyclical."

Refused to entertain the idea that climate change actually should affect the market there relative to the rest of the country.

When they inevitably release materials without any mention of Trump, every reporter needs to repeatedly ask if that's because it would "jeopardize an active federal investigation" into him.
