full employment + Covid WFH + BLM + MeToo broke the brains of so, so, SO many american elites

I always love it when law enforcement appropriates the Punisher logo, not understanding that Frank Castle aka the Punisher, actually hates law enforcement and felt forced into vigilantism due to the impotence & outright corruption of law enforcement. He literally rips his logo off cop uniforms.

I wasn't disappointed, I pretty much knew what I was getting myself into, but I just have a preference for things that have tension & release, polychromatism, the less is more aesthetic. It was a mile wide and not an inch deep, but let's say it was 6 inches deep. I dug the bell sounds and vocal bits

It was my fourth time seeing Autechre, I think this is the 4th decade I've experienced them in. Somebody asked me if they always sounded like this. I never know how to respond, I guess I'd say earlier performances had more to dig into and appreciate. Maybe I'm just desensitized at this point.

Saw Autechre & Mark Broom tonight. Somebody told me Mark is a big hardgroove DJ, but I don't really know what hardgroove is. He played a variety of stuff. Dug it. Was my fourth time seeing Autechre, the first 40 minutes were great. After that absence of contrast started to get tiring. 6/10 night.

I really hope that some future POTUS has the good sense to raze this abomination to the ground.

Bill Burr wasn't paid for his comedy, but to generate quotes like these.

The way their gear shaked while they ran tells me that dress-up is more important to many of them than actual performance, and somebody way smarter than me about these sorts of things should investigate the possibility of leveraging this observation into an oppositional tactical advantage.

inexplicable moronic *moves*, not views. my kingdom for an edit button!

Now that I've gone down this rabbit hole, I'll go one step further and wonder if the consultants & polling firms giving Dem leadership bad advice are being funded & controlled by AIPAC and/or proxies, making calculation that a weakened Democratic party easier to control re: Israel/Palestine policy.

AIPAC is pushing Jeffries' team to make these inexplicable, moronic views because they know it will weaken him, make him more dependent on their money. They're reminding his team multiple times per day what they did to Cori Bush.

His self-owns makes no sense unless viewed through that prism.

Pure speculation: AIPAC is squeezing Jeffries, on the one side promising a well-funded pro-Israel primary challenge if he endorses Mamdani; on the other side, withholding endorsement earns help w/left-wing primary challenge. They made him praise Adams to send a clear message: dance, puppet, dance.

The wiki page was edited this afternoon with that info and it has been contested in the editors comments. Multiple news sources say he was born in Brooklyn and likely has dual citizenship via his parents.

One of my biggest issues with Sherman's march to the sea is that he was too constrained.

This article from the Des Moines register describes him as a "Brooklyn, NY native". Either the background check process across multiple states and education districts has had repeated failures or ICE fucked up, big time.

Starting to seem that way. Complimenting me on my manners? WTF

Regardless, you don't work in supervisory positions in education in multiple states without going through numerous LEA & FBI background checks, including fingerprint submission.

His bio says he was born in the US: www.dmschools.org/departments/...

His bio says he was born in the US. The "visa" issue is a non-point. He's worked in education in multiple states and has almost certainly had background checks, include state LEA & FBI, run multiple times & submitted fingerprints for employment purposes. They've obviously misidentified him.

He entered the US when he was born here.

Dr. Roberts was born in the United States to immigrant parents.

It's in the linked statute - revisions in 1996 & 2022.

I did some research (read the screenshot, looked up the statute) He wasn't cited for "open carry", he was cited for having a loaded weapon in a vehicle, which is illegal in Pennsylvania

And I agree with Dr. Roberts, his dark skin probably played a role.

Duly noted.

Read more closely. The charge is from Pennsylvania.

it felt like low-hanging fruit, but then again i never pass up an opportunity to abide 🤷

Misery loves company is the standard response, but my own experiences with misery & depression suggest isolation is much more the norm.

One may also presume it’s because they want to be talked into hope, but that is belied by the effort said reply guys will expend arguing in favor of hopelessness.

The hung tv repairman is such a professional that he never even notices that the young woman answering the door is wearing lingerie, or her topless friend Sherry who came over to take a shower. He simply fixes the cable, thanks the women for being loyal customers, and leaves.

One thing I will never understand is all the people who feel compelled to point out in all their replies that “it won’t matter”, “its pointless”, “like it’ll make a difference”, etc. if all that’s true, then why bother replying at all?

Is it because they feel obligated to destroy hope?

as a man, I am always baffled by the things that people assume I care about
