But she claimed Native American ancestry! This automatically trumps everything dumb Biden has said, is saying, or will ever say.

It’s telling that Trump thought he’d knocked her out of contention by repeating his dumb, racist nickname for her ad nauseum.

So no point in getting worked up over the latest monstrosity, right? Because that’s what the logic of ‘we’ve always been evil and always will be’ leads to. It’s the ultimate complacency move from the left.

I wish this is something that was brought up more: border crossing attempts will likely go down over the coming months no matter what is or isn’t done. There has long been a tendency for border crossings to spike in December, peak early-to-mid year, and then decline for the rest of the year.

Your facts are powerless in the face of “I know you are, but what am I?”

While I agree with the overall point you’re trying to make, there’s a big flaw in this particular strategy: vasectomies become increasingly irreversible the more time that passes since the surgery (the general figure given is five years until it’s irreversible, but it varies from person to person).

Want to know how you get people comfortable with voting for more progressive candidates and policies? When Democrats start winning elections comfortably, that’s how.

But Trump came up with a mean name that stuck, so she’s unelectable.

Since the Dolthraki are loosely based off the Mongols, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve relied on hunting game and generally living off of the land. It’s the advantage of having a force that consists almost entirely of self-sufficient cavalry. Though I could see that becoming very inconvenient for the Northerners…

Like as a kid I absolutely believed that the government was made of the smartest people in the country. As I grew, I realized that was a dumb idea. Now, I’ve gone so far the other way that I doubt members of congress are even functionally literate.

GODDAMMIT.

Hey that’s fair, it’s not even my favorite pizza from there - I mostly thought of it because I was thinking about political events nearby at the Hamburg Inn (I’m still kicking myself that I wrote Hamburg Grill earlier, ugh). But I really did like their house special pizza.

I miss Iowa. I grew up there, lived in Nebraska during high school and undergrad, then back to Iowa for grad school. Now I’ve been working for seven years in New England and I still feel like a Midwesterner far from home.

Yeah, the rather willful obtuseness about Trump’s meaning when he said, “I didn’t get a thank you” is aggravating. Sure, he has nobody to blame but himself for his completely lack of coherency, but it’s not hard to figure out that he was talking about his critics rather than John McCain’s ghost.

I’m not a proper old, I find sidecuts weirdly endearing!

Possibly. But the narration that Xander supplies throughout the issue seems to say that he’s more feeling lonely and isolated.

I completely understand your skepticism! And while I don’t think that bullying is anywhere close to going away, it’s something that my undergraduate students regularly say was a much more anonymous thing when they were in high school. They’ve told me that being seen as a bully (physical or emotional) means you’re…

That’s actually the first time Willow’s done anything remotely aggressive so far. As for the Hot Topic look, though... yeah, that’s definitely fair. Though her girlfriend makes her look downright tame in comparison:

I can definitely understand your feelings about those three characters in particular. I’ve been warming up to these reinterpretations, though. I particularly appreciate that they ditched Cordelia’s mean girl act this time around - this version actually feels like a much better fit for how the original Cordie ended up…

Very glad to see this get some attention! I stumbled across this completely by accident and was surprised that I hadn’t heard anything about it before.
