well, when you put it like *that*... 

It’s the tech industry. If no one wants it, Eleven Labs will just juice analytics until an acquisition comes along. Then that company will need to justify their purchase somehow, and suddenly the “Smart Fridge Talks Like Peter Lorre” option is an opt-out feature. It’s a fun industry!!

If you didn’t watch, you may have missed that the candidates literally started arguing about who’s better at sports (golf) at one point, lol. It’s come full circle!

I didn’t watch the debate, I can’t take hearing or seeing Trump, but Rachel Maddow pointed out that presidents running for reelection typically whiff their first debate. Reagan did in 1984, probably the one most like Biden’s, since it brought up concerns about his age. His performance was so bad that for a brief…

If O’Neal came back I’d punch out a junkie and steal his meth.

I know that’s the traditional role of vice-presidents, but Biden’s age was a concern four years ago. He needed to pick someone who would be able to step up to the plate not just while he was in office, but after he left. And it was in the party’s best interests to push the administration to have her do more than…

Train Coming into Station 2 was a fucking sellout. 

Exactly. It’s not like the Legend of Bagger Vance where they are using the trope unironically — the Coens get that it is a problematic trope but are lampshading its absurdity.

There were no flops in 1899.

I’m sorry, you’ll get the same four guys making shitty, obvious jokes on every thread and trolls who only comment on culture-war stuff. I don’t make the rules.

Yep. This narrative that Biden has “done nothing” has gone a long way, for me, to crystallize how fucking stupid vast swaths of the electorate are.

Its arrogant to call my simple statement arrogant. Trump was already President. Millions more voted for him in 2020 than in 2016. Biden has been a much better President than I, a real, live Bernie/Squad supporter could ever hope for. Those policies will continue and he can be pushed more to the left in a second Biden…

But did you tip?

Sad, but true. Having discussions with my kids about how voting as a minority or marginalized group in this country is all an exercise in harm reduction.
I’ve spent most of my life voting against a candidate instead of for one. This will be another one of those times.

Pulling out usually works

The CIA tried using it in torture sessions, but the detainees kept shoving their own heads underwater.
