All Dems have to do is let the Republicans fight about the budget. Its such an easy win. But Dems like Fetterman can't even do that.

Just going to repeat it for the 1000x time: IQ is an estimation of predicted academic achievement in a western school system. It is truly sad and useless to employ it in consideration of anything about a person over the age of 18.

This just highlights how much the Democrats failed to present an alternative to a candidate his own supporters didnt even bother to learn about/understand. I don't relish in it at all, especially when Democrats alienated THEIR informed voters, by not taking a stand on huge issues like Palestine.

this really is "just asking questions" laid bare. there's no basis to ask the question. you're only asking because you have a preferred outcome that is contrary to all of the evidence.

I am maintaining my rule against biopics, but if they come out with an Aphex Twin biopic where he is portrayed by a CGI lump of barely sentient flesh, I will personally ensure the US box office returns.

having a kindergartener is weird because your kid can really start blindsiding you with questions, like reading Green Eggs and Ham to my kid at bedtime and him asking if the train was segregated like the ones they learned about for MLK Day.

I worked with adolescent offenders, and the victims' rights advocates' jobs often appeared to be convincing the victims that the offenders (aka kids) were intrinsically evil & should be taken from society rather than including the victims in the conversation about how to fix what was harmed/broken.

worth noting Chris Murphy switched his position from anti to pro banning TikTok because of Gaza, explicitly so. He told The Dispatch podcast Dec 7 2023 when explaining his pivot, “The way that TikTok is talking about Gaza is designed to divide Americans from each other”.

Listening to 90s alternative with my kids, and The Indigo Girls genuinely do not get enough credit for inventing the idea of songs that aren't about wallowing in depression.

It's good Wicked is almost 3 hours, because it takes about half the runtime to adjust for the fact that Glinda's eyelashes aren't falling off, they just look like that.

i will never want to watch a biopic of a living person. pretending these movies even have the capacity for the same artistic merit as an actual film is repulsive.

Lots of leftists still don't understand that the H1B program is not an immigration program, it is a program for exploiting labor. But glad to see that some of the reactionary push-back to Sanders' position has died down a bit.

This is the supreme irony of the MAGA schism over H-1Bs. Many workers who stayed at Twitter after Musk’s takeover did so because their status in the US was contingent on their employment. They kept a site running that was then used by MAGA folks to question why they were here in the first place.
