Agreed. Shooting a gun in someone's direction should be de facto evidence of an intent to kill—it is literally the singular purpose of guns to kill living creatures.

Uh huh, so you were caught talking out of your ass, and now don’t want to engage.

First off, “vast majority” is not the same as “all” (which is why in my reply to OP I say ‘I’m not sure how literally’ to take his comment.) So saying “all” in this case is inaccurate and it is hyperbolic.

I’m not defending charter schools, and I agree they’re all bad—like, categorically bad—for precisely the reason you said (to say nothing of the fact that it’s bad for labor.) It’s just not the case that they’re all religious, and felt weirdly hyperbolic and inaccurate to say so.

I’m not sure how literally I’m supposed to take your “Charter school = religious school =racist school = sexist school”, but I don't think charter schools are all religious.

I feel like you’re going for people who could match the looks more or less (though you'd need to age Ronda quite a bit,) when we should be looking to comedic actresses with excellent timing. Aubrey Plaza as Bobo might work, though it doesn't seem like the kind of role she tends want to take. Not sure who I'd pick for…

“This is not to defend Boebert, who is equally as terrible as Greene, to be clear[.]”

This entreaty to her fans may be as much for her as it is for Mayer, or whatever other guy the fans may have harassed online. I could see Swift being self-conscious of being known as someone whose fans are so deeply hooked their parasocial relationship with her and her music that it could make it more difficult to…

“[I]t feels like we’re decades away from at least somewhat progressive forces being successful at a national level.”

Are we sure it isn’t just highly experimental “anti-comedy”? That seems to be the moniker for acts that are outwardly structured (and marketed) as stand-up, but which are purposefully unfunny by most standards.

The stand-up in Mrs. Maisel tended to be hit or miss for me, but there’s a lot of stand up comedy from that era (i.e., the era portrayed,) that doesn’t even make me chuckle. I question how funny we’re supposed to actually find most of Midge’s act, as opposed to understanding that it’s diagetically funny, and funny for…

I get that DeSantis’ rhetoric is fucked up and probably intentionally racially charged, but, I’ve always thought that pro athletes are, by and large, built different than the rest of us mortals. The material incentives are just SO high for playing many sports at a high level that I feel like society has just naturally…

They lost *significant* marketshare and sales because of this absurd “scandal,” so it’s not surprising that they’d try to do something to get back some of the consumers they lost. They don’t make delicious beer, so ham-fisted marketing campaigns is what they got. That said, it doesn’t look like they’re rebranding…

I didn’t realize that by giving you a star, I’d also be ungreying the feckless incel wastrel to which you were replying.

“[T]he spat started because both congresswomen introduced dueling resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden.”

Given Zuck’s younger age, the fact that he appears to be in far better shape than Elon, the fact that he’s been training jiu-jitsu for a while already (presumably with a coach who knows what the fuck they’re doing,) and the fact that these sorts of fights often come down to stamina and endurance... my money's on Zuck.

“Big DeSantis Energy”

It’s probably my favorite of Shane Black’s Christmas action movies. Jackson and Davis’ delivery of that banter is practically unrivaled.

“We all should wonder whether this recent rash of Pro Publica stories questioning the integrity of only conservative Supreme Court Justices[.]”

I would love a sequel to “The Long Kiss Goodnight” reuniting Jackson and Gina Davis, and with Brie Larson starring as Gina Davis’ now-adult daughter. It is never ever going to happen, but I want it all the same.
