While it would have cost us “Once more with feeling” and the sixth season had a weird, interesting energy-- Buffy would probably be a better series canonically (and definitely more remembered) if it ended with the Season 5 finale. 

Put it this way....I’m really interested at where Angel would have gone after it’s series finale, while I was pretty bored and have barely rewatched the last season of Buffy. 

“Ross Katz points out that the stars of some of Buffy’s most beloved contemporaries, like Charmed or Dawson’s Creek, are largely household names.”

Are they really though-- if you look at the core casts-- the hit/miss rate seems pretty similar-- 1/3 hugely successful; 1/3 strong working actors (for Buffy I’d group…

It’s some how worse than this-- or at least was during the Primary-- the popular vote mattered in Iowa but simultaneously, caucuses were better than primaries (b/c Sanders did better in caucuses).

Yes, it’s an analogy that we used when lobbying against previous efforts in the Missouri Leg to apply Missouri Abortion laws to pregnant persons leaving the state to access abortion (in past years the antis wanted patients orignating in Missouri to be forced to be read MO’s shitty propaganda “informed consent” booklet…

By taking pictures of license plates in the lot and/or entering Health Centers in border areas. Antis already do this, now they’ll be incentivized to do it more heavily.

Part of the issue is that other than guns, Dems don’t really have that many things that could be addressed this way— at least not things that be in anyway popular with broad segments of the base (in gaming it out I thought about say vehicle restrictions— but while that’d be popular with Greens it’d piss off some…

The man literally funded an attempt to overthrow the results of the Presidential election in Georgia to help a white supremacist....but yeah "Kanye is far too valuable to the Black community to completely abandon.”

If we were that lucky COVID would have taken his ass out in 2020 and given us an all-time case of poetic justice

The Epstein thing is still the craziest conspiracy— Trump put both the guy who gave Epstein a sweetheart deal and the son of the guy who gave Epstein his first big break in his cabinet (and partied with Epstein a ton himself) but somehow he was “taking down pedophiles”.

I'd feel bad for the crew and the poor secret service agents

I feel for her and all but....did she bring weed vape cartridges in? Because if she did...I mean expecting US law and rights to apply in other countries is pretty freaking imperialistic. Russia’s laws are deeply flawed and unjust but at the same time:
a) If (and again it’s totally possible this was planted which…

The local level is basically useless on this barring ballot initiatives given the gerrymandering at the State Legislative level even in purple-to-blue states (see PA, WI, MI, GA and AZ)

Won’t need to....Oklahoma will have a Texas level ban at best (outright ban at worst) inside of 6 months. 

Do they let Thomas write the decision or do they ask him to recuse himself due to “conflict of interest”? 

Abortion funds are great and all but without groups like Guttmacher or actual providers be they independent or Planned Parenthood laying the groundwork, providing care and fighting to keep abortion legal and accessible they’re impotent-- in July a Texas Abortion fund is basically just going to buy pregnant persons…

Because there’s not enough votes to break the filibuster, WHPA will be brought to a floor vote in June roughly coinciding with the SCOTUS ruling- every Dem but perhaps Manchin will be in support as will (probably) Murkowski and (potentially) Collins— it won’t matter and will never get an up or down vote because only…

This. Like I get what the author is going for-- and don’t think any ROC athlete should get any benefit of the doubt regardless of age (given that they shouldn’t be competing in the first place and the “ROC” is a bs dodge)...but, Valieva’s age is literally the reason she’s getting a pass based on established rules…

I mean....how much money does the half-time show bring in? 

It’s both-- for future audiences and/or those who didn’t see it the first time-- this is the new truth. For those who’ve seen the whole thing evolve this is an intentionally blatant power move that says “you can’t beat us, we can do whatever we want, give up hope, quit fighting or face the consequences” with the…
