  1. https://www.comicsbeat.com/pierre-christin-dead/
  2. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1841644041219256496.html A helpful thread.
  3. It has also been established several times that Trump is lying about that and only started lying about that when it became clear project 2025 was deeply unpopular.
  4. I don't think pointing this out will help any, but if one candidate is stating facts, or at least well founded opinions, and the other is just stating bald faced lies, someone saying both candidates need to tone down their rhetoric strikes me as either ignorant or just dishonest. And specifically dishonest in favour of the liar.
  5. My problem with Taylor Swift is that she isn't even bad. Just so bland, generic, nondescript.
  6. A lot of people are just that ignorant of the world around them, and not in the conspiracy rabbit hole sense. They are ignorant of things just because they are for the most part entirely uninterested in things that are consequential.
  7. It was twenty degrees here at midnight yesterday, which was weird.
  8. Don't threaten me with a good time.
  9. He was saying and doing racist things long before he went into politics.
  10. https://www.buzzfeed.com/lollaparooza/crazy-parodies-of-the-last-supper-8s5g?sub=1992906_839049 Article from 2013. Sopranos, Simpsons, South Park, House, Lost, Mash, DC Comics, Battlestar Galactica and more.
  11. Harris' campaign.
  12. Actual official statement.
  13. Yes, I have to concede that the venal liars said something that they feel is politically expedient, so we have no choice but to believe them. Oh, well.
  14. Whitmer has said she wants to see out her governorship. Buttigieg for that extra wokeness, I guess? I do think the Dems' only play is to draw as much attention as possible to drive up turn out.
  15. It's like the weirdest bit someone has ever committed to.
  16. So according to BruceVC logic the GOP is also in favour of abortion because some republicans, or their daughters, or their wives or their mistresses have had abortions. https://joycearthur.com/abortion/the-only-moral-abortion-is-my-abortion/ I mean who cares if the policies they actively support are openly against the LGBTQ population, the immigrant population, the population of colour? What matters is that they have a friend who once watched RuPaul's drag race.
  17. Both sides.
  18. I don't see how Biden getting reelected is that big reverse shift or even how there's a path towards it, at all, beyond an outright cataclysm resetting things in some way. Basically, my worry is that the political course we are in is already inevitable, and that we cannot hope for better beyond delaying it, especially when big financial interests have already significantly compromised the systems in place originally designed to avoid what is already happening.
  19. It's not a view, it is just a statement of fact. The only way one can consider this is not a fight for democracy and the rule of law in the US is if you believe the fight has already been lost. Between the fall of Roe v Wade, the ruling on Presidential immunity for official acts, and the gutting of chevron deference, perhaps the game is already done, even if Trump loses the election. I guess that to roll back what has already happened, then the next election would have to give the dems the presidency, the house and a 60 seat majority in the Senate. But I'd really like someone more knowledgeable than me to chime in.
  20. Note that this isn't official advice, but have you tried backing up the save files and reinstalling the game?
  21. Even just 1 or 2 points on that list would be a catastrophe for the US. In any case, Trump is easily manipulated. If the right people have access to him, a lot can be made to happen.
