"Grifters everywhere!" screams a guy who is a top level subscriber to the "JoJo from Jerz" substack and spent lavishly on "Notorious RBG" merch

Does Patreon get telemetry about when people stop watching or listening to content? I want the Delta Flyers to know I havent listened to a Jason O comment/question in two years. They may have intuited this on their own seeing as his is always read last.

for no reason whatsoever thinking right now about how different cinema might be today if an insanely charismatic robert downey jr at the height of a press campaign to rehabilitate his image had taken some other big role in 2008

"I entered office hoping to crater the Labour party in the polls and exclude trans people from public life."

Lol, lmao. Perfect. Incredible. No notes. Disinformation expertise strikes again. "High info voters should understand how many low info and misinformed voters are out there" indeed. Physician, heal thyself.

Sure, we have the concept of free mandates which explicitly allow politicians to lie to their constituents in order to get elected, rewarding incoherent programs and fake promises. But really, it's the peoples fault for trusting their representatives.

Personally I think "the problem" is less the voters with fringe incoherent beliefs than the people with coherent beliefs, particularly the ones with money and power.

matthew always brings the receipts

Ian Wright saying we shouldn’t forget the way the Iranian team and the Somali referee were treated. Correct.

You play like you practice. You don’t just become a team full of giant assholes without getting in the reps.

Argentina’s one shot this game went right into Merino’s face.

COMO SE DICE “BALL DONT LIE”

Can't take that one away

He’s going to do it, he’s going to make both teams lose

That was a goal but Argentina gets different rules as we all know

I find it fascinating that the other half of this discourse, disdain for commercial breaks, seems incompatible with this specific objection. It's a break, you can go take a piss like we do during commercials.

this halftime show the result of so many Meetings instead of just picking one (1) act

This is entirely over, by the way. Bellows has already dropped out. Jackson has more than enough delegates to win a majority on the first ballot with 7 counties to go. Very impressive organizing feat.

wine was often drunk diluted or mixed with honey, herbs, and water due to the uncontrolled nature of fermentation back then and guess what happens when you mix hard alkaline water with red wine

Look at these dumb yokels. Their politics make no sense. They should be like me, a centrist who supports a two state solution and reforming ICE,

I wonder why the American Enterprise Institute, backed by the Kochs, DeVoses, and Harlan Crow among others, would want to sow doubts about democracy.

this quiz is, itself, disinfo!

if you just assume all white people voted for trump and all non-black men voted for trump you get: (also this is AEI, it's literally conservative propaganda)

their best also manage to (6) be incredibly lazy and (7) telegraph contempt for their readers while nonetheless (8) sounding almost painfully self-impressed, all while ultimately remaining (9) entirely interchangeable and (10) forgettable, since (11) another one will do the same thing in four months

you know its the atlantic when questions are (1) framed as entirely innocent philosophical hypotheticals but (2) also bravely iconoclastic truth-telling yet stand (3) entirely divorced from reality and (4) affirm the worst impulses while (5) coinciding with programs of true political evil

I have only ever had spayed dogs. When I adopted Andi getting spayed was a condition of it, which is the usual process. But now I am waiting for Lyta to have a heat cycle to spay her, and every time she licks herself I think is this heat? (It's not yet)

and of course DSA candidates NOT asking for consent to run against real democrats... seems suspicious, and like a man

One of the most interesting things about the resurgence of PMC discourse in the last few years is that it became omnipresent just as the cross-pressures on the PMC basically collapsed due to their widespread proletarianization.

Yeah thinking about class this way shows that over time even skilled professionals have their work deskilled and they can lose the ability to accumulate wealth

The two working definitions of class in the US political discourse - income and education - were built exactly to say that a person who makes 200k but is an electrician or whatever is working class but someone who has a master's degree but works a social worker can't be

His definition is broadly Marxist (correct). A worker is someone who participates in the market with only their labor to sell. That means, yes, janitors and most lawyers. A senior partner at biglaw, maybe not. The interviewer doesn't think it "rings true" but all those people can be fired.

like, I know people get mad when you say liberals prefer fascists to leftists but they keep saying it

Again ...

Huh the England team does better when it starts 3 Arsenal players weird

I don't know for certain but I suspect it was True Lies.

lyta being a total scumbag put in crate, goes too bed, the duality of dog

This is the fulfillment of a fever dream of the far right to punish universities for hosting new ideas of social progress since William F Buckley published GOD AND MAN AT YALE in *1951* It took this long for a group of short-sighted hate-fueled degenerates to rise to the pinnacle of national power.

In 2016, San Antonio cop Matthew Luckhurst was fired after giving a homeless man a sandwich filled with feces. Last month, he became police chief in Benavides, Texas.

yeah we're all dunking on them with some variation of "be a teenager and never grow up," a lot of these answers are them admitting to more or less exactly that

I appreciate people who share numbers on the many AI brand deals being pitched these days. They best explain the, ahem, strange bedfellows you see these days. When someone or some org suddenly starts sliding some normative-sounding claims about AI? Safe bet to wonder if it’s stealth sponcon

you stupid mother fucker (markwayne not eugene) we tricked the entire world into sending their smartest hardest working people here and then tricked those same people into staying permanently instead of going back to their home country you are BLOWING UP OUR SPOT

If I quote dunk a smaller account I want to ruin their day. If I think a bigger account might do it to me I try to block them in advance. That's just how these sites work.

if your life is ruined because of your mentions were you ever really alive

holy shit the red sox are .500

the puppy is making me go to bed!!

Intellectually I know that The Hague is a real place and things other than The International Criminal Court exist there. I was still not prepared to read the sentence: “Shrek Rave Is Coming To The Hague!”

remember, if you're afraid jk rowling will come after you for a post, you can always just ask an american to post it for you.
