He should be in more shit! He sold a frankly ridiculous concept and made it believable!

That Perfect Strangers shit was sublime.

I had a lot of issues with Obama, but the Iran deal was honestly a masterstroke and President Dipshit ripped it up because it had Obama's name all over it. People getting killed over pure incompetent fucking lunacy.

I just hate it here and I'm genuinely sad.

i was one of the editors on this book and it is SO GOOD!!! seriously seriously if you want to make an audio drama (even if you've already made one before tbh) this is going to be unbelievably helpful

The rules are pretty simple, Trump can do whatever he wants to minorities, immigrants, his political enemies etc. but he can't fuck with the money.

What is Superman's "Kryptonite"?
In literature, mythology, and comic books heroes often have a "kryptonite" or "Achilles's heel", basically a weakness that makes them vulnerable.
I'm curious what fans here would consider to be Superman's "Kryptonite"?

Great read. An ICE attorney working for DOJ temporarily explains that ICE has no clue how all of this "federal court" stuff works and makes clear that both ICE and DOJ were totally unprepared for the flood of habeases that were the inevitable result of the Minneapolis raids.

"rich dipshit owner doesn't understand the industry he's bought into and clumsily destroys what made it good" feels less like a narrative unique to the washington post and more like the music that's been playing in the background of all our lives for at least 40 years

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc
