A huge part of Trump’s appeal is that he’s not smart enough to read an entire book. A Trump who could read books wouldn’t attract the same base that Trump does. There’s a reason he loves uneducated voters. Trump’s complete and utter lack of polish and filter allows him to get away with all of his fuckups. A candidate…

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.

On the one hand, it makes total sense for them to go full multiverse after Spider-verse.

Something really struck me when they showed Hordak, of all people, berating himself nearly as harshly as he berates his subordinates: for every speaking character in the show, there’s always at least one moment (usually far more than one) that really invites you to have some sympathy for them. There’s a genuine sense…

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…

I kept looking at Rey’s hood and wondered what it reminded me of. Not quite a Jedi look, no, it’s more like...

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.

Counterpoint: Crossover events can be a real pain, but Secret Wars (2015) was amazing, and I’m really hoping the Russos were thinking more about that one than the first.

I just started rereading Time Runs Out last week. It still holds up as the best Marvel arc of the decade, IMHO.

It’s funny, I missed out on Secret Wars when it first came out and never bothered to look into it until Marvel did their new Secret Wars a couple of years ago.

GODDAMMIT.
