The plan used to be that the successes more than made up for the losses.

It is absurd that a dozen movies are made for $250million or more every year.  They can’t all be runaway blockbusters.  How do these executives keep their jobs when more than half tentpole movies lose scores of millions of dollars?

Well. I expect Jewish and Muslim and Buddha run businesses to now deny service to any Christians on the basis of their religion.

Yup. In every election you can, right down to the local school board...ESPECIALLY the local school board, because that’s where they’re plotting to create more assholes just like them.

The conservative justices are so far up their donors asses that they aren’t even bothering to try and be “just” any longer.

So start denying service to christians because you don’t agree with their lifestyle.

Gorsuch saying “Pure fiction all.” and then... nothing?  Doesn’t lay out WHY those are not realistic scenarios? Real Susan Collins “He’s learned his lesson” energy here.

I repeat: I hope everyone understands the assignment going forward with this shit.

VOTE!

This seems troubling given they also ruled in the mail carrier case that employers must accommodate religious stuff (like not working on sundays). So claiming “deeply held” religious values = do whatever the hell you want as an employee or service provider and the government has your back? Is FSM 501c3 yet?

cough cough

And I’m getting pretty fucking tired of their incessant “If Congress had intended this they’d have said it specifically” act, when the entire purpose of the GOP since at least 1994 has been to obstruct, slow, and break Congress to the point where it does nothing.  In this case the act in question specifically…

We are living in a very cruel period of American history.

“The result here is that the Court substitutes itself for Congress and the Executive Branch in making national policy about student-loan forgiveness.”

Full circle

I’ll be sad to be without this show, but I think they’ve got the right idea. Season 1, they have a goal driven by grief and encounter hardship in working toward it. Season 2, they battle through their personal low points but come together to achieve their goal from season 1. If season 3 is about how they come to terms …

Bittersweet. One of the best shows on TV 

Immediately brought this to my mind:

Susan Collins won because she is an absolute master of retail politics. Begrudgingly, I’d go as far to say she’s one of the best to ever do it. I worked for one of the 501(c)4s opposing her and it was incredibly tough because — and I’m really not being hyperbolic here — literally everyone in this state can point to…

States like Maine, and others, that have increased access to abortion and reproductive care for women experience lower teen birth rates, which lowers the percentage of people receiving public assistance, which, silly me, I thought was the goal of states with the highest teen pregnancy rates...
