To be fair, basically everything but the Owen films is for the era where it wasn’t that easy to rewatch, so nobody cares about continuity. You saw the last one two years ago. My favorite is that you see lots of minor actors in different roles movie to movie.

This is actually a point of contention among fans. The whole franchise is delightfully sloppy and there is very little continuity anyway. Just make another movie and maybe bring back the lotus submarine

I’ve sadly outgrown it but I own a leather jacket that is probably 50 years old and with some conditioning it will last another 50

The crusty old barber I used to take my son to wouldn’t even ask what kind of haircut we wanted. You gave him 20 bucks and he cut his hair. It was refreshing.

I really think silver just got lucky in his one decent prediction. He’s like the replication crisis in corporeal form

Anthony Downs (or half remembered undergrad lectures) has sparked decades of pundit stupidity

The funny thing is that silver has basically been running of vibes for years now.

All of this Centrist nonsense implicitly endorses the idea that trump winning by 1.5 is a fucking mandate

The weather here makes that sub optimal much of the year but in other places it would for sure work.

My dad’s second wedding was this kind of tacky. His third was more appropriate to the situation

There was a concept that rolled out a while back and people laughed that it only charged like 15 miles a day, but that’s my entire commute. I could probably charge it at home about once every three weeks

I mean, 2024 is exactly what you get based on public perceptions of the economy. Arguably, trump underperformed

I’d add that they are willing to compromise on abortion so long as the pro life candidate hates minorities enough.

I teach political science. They’d be shocked how infrequently ideology is even relevant there.

I think they also over estimate how liberal the content is in a lot of those fields.

This is why I’m not a devout atheist. We shouldn’t be shitty either. So long as people aren’t using their religion to shit on others, I’m glad they are finding support and fulfillment
