You have to have a brain to injure it traumatically. 

I think it would’ve looked better had the cases been black:

I don’t think Ashley (though she’s certainly not alone among Jez writers) understands how actual politics works, like with strategy and stuff. Or she does but she’s morally opposed to it or something. As if being morally opposed to something means it suddenly stops being real.

This is for a Senate seat in Kentucky, Ashley - Not in New York or California...Jesus. Your sentence sums it up perfectly: “She supports the Affordable Care Act and wants to get McConnell out of Congress, what more can we ask for?”

Is that the narrative that’s being sold? Every time I talk to people, they seem so nervous that Biden won’t win. If you told my friends Biden had a 14-point lead, they’d think it’s not big enough.

Cool, I wont have to worry about getting a PS5 for a while then.

Hell hath no fury like a Karen mildly inconvenienced.

Anyone that has a sobbing meltdown over waiting for fast food needs to have their gun removed and to have their fitness for duty evaluated. 

Also, pulling some classically wild conflation. Just as kneeling during the national anthem is somehow an insult to not only the flag, but also to the military, the police and also to first responders. Banning the confederate flag is somehow an affront to this guy’s right to bear arms under the constitution of the…

One of the problems with the MNPLS FPD is that the union contract is so strong that it’s virtually impossible to fire an abusive police officer. St. Paul, which has a contract with a different police union, has far fewer problems with violently abusive police. Disbanding may be a mechanism to re-negotiate the contract…

Damn. To be fair, it looks pretty janky on PS4 as well. In general, this game was pretty overrated as much as I wanted to love it. Just seemed like a lot of people really wanted to give the middle finger to Bethesda and the hope for a spiritual successor to New Vegas kinda blinded them. I was in that camp until I got…

Yeah I was gonna say this. It didn’t look that good on the systems it was made for and ran like it was optimized for about 10 minutes before someone said “that’ll do, ship it!” (as much better looking games run much better on my Xbox than outer worlds did).

Huh. I remember having a blast with this game for like 20 minutes, but then my eyes just sort of glazed over. Interesting to see how far they go with this polish.

She's a good one. 

This rules.

As I’ve been saying all along, America is far more conservative (even among Democrats) than progressives realize, and many women who consider themselves feminists don’t mean ‘progressive, intersectional feminism’ even if it is the dominant feminist ideology among academics, social commentators, etc. For moderate women…

This. Also— can we just fucking stop pretending that the ACA was nothing— it was literally the single most important piece of progressive legislation to pass in half a century. It expanded Medicaid coverage for ten’s of millions of Americans.

I’m not saying that the things he did align with the majority of the dem base, I’m saying that the things he did align with the platform he ran on. The dem base drank that “hope and change” kool aide without reading the ingredients first. FFS, I can’t believe so many people can acknowledge he governed like a centrist…

He didn’t run on a progressive platform. He ran on the equivalent to national “Romney Care” which wasn’t A to begin with, it was a public option. He delivered the ACA. He ran on “clean coal”, which is a laughable concept itself, and delivered improved environmental protections. He ran on bringing back troops from…

Perhaps I’ve been too scarred by the false hope of the Obama years, when so much optimism and excitement and energy quickly curdled and went sour after candidate Obama became President Obama, and he abandoned the grassroots campaign that had powered his victory.
