Just to be clear, I think Twitter sucks and I was using it as a shorthand for social media generally, which I also think sucks. But it’s clearly given candidates who would have been brought to heel by their parties the ability to break out of that and direct the conversation themselves

It is if you are a politician trying to get your message out in 2019. Twitter is a shithole, but Trump and Ocasio-Cortez are proof that if you can’t navigate that shithole you no longer make the cut for the big show

This is a political realignment. The more moderate Boomers tried to apply the old rules and, like 2016, they got smoked. They need younger progressives more than the reverse, they overplayed their hand and now they’re going to have to acknowledge that fact going into an incredibly important election year. Good

I’m an Oliver fan, but he’s toast over there. HBO has a robust streaming platform and brand recognition, that’s what AT&T bought. I feel like there’s going to be some tomfoolery with the “untitled Warner streaming platform” with that ultimately merging with HBO Go, while the original programming slowly morphs into…

Since the internet got big, the phrase “And I’m just over here laughing, because-” has not once been said through laughter

Warcraft III is getting a remaster later this year, so obviously that won’t be on there, but you know what’s an interesting omission? Diablo II. 👀

Shit, now I’m convinced. I don’t know what of, exactly, but that shouldn’t stop me from working it into as many unsolicited Facebook replies as humanly possible

Well they’ve aired a lot of birther stories, racist tripe, they openly coordinate with the RNC and conservative think-tanks, they’ve been rocked with dozens of sexual harassment suits and have spent nearly nine figures covering that up, there is a well-documented loop between Fox & Friends and Trump’s Twitter and…

It’s amazing how, among some people, such advanced technology fosters such superstition

I’ve had this happen. I don’t know about you, but for me it was people I know get their news from social media posts but distrust professional news

Hmm, are you suggesting looking for a compromise with someone who is already getting everything they want is...a bad idea?

“She needs backup. Anya, Tara”

Those typings would be a lot of fun, especially if they get creative with it. Scorbuny being a “striker” would be a fun play on electric/soccer connections, there could be other fun ways of displaying the other types as well

Dreamers...or Boppers? Or any excuse to watch Lynne Thigpen clips? I’m going with the latter

“Name one sexual abuse survivor who wasn’t immediately and unquestioningly believed and shielded from all repercussions for coming forward while the perpetrator immediately confessed to their crimes and was removed from society, and then they got a check”

It’s the story and the combat that will make or break that game for you; the mission structures, RPG mechanics, and exploration were designed by a FPS studio making their first 3rd person open world game and are passable yet underwhelming (especially considering some of the stuff that’s come out since)

Horizon Zero Dawn is so good. Is it your first play through?

That would be fun! It would also give it a type advantage against water. Ever since Gen 4 flirted with the idea, I’ve always wanted to see a set of starters that started with the normal advantage triangle then reversed direction with secondary types by the final stage

That pepper and cheese was never “free” it was just bundled up in the additional markup for being waited on and tended to while you ate your food. Restaurants today are less about that as they are about eliminating the time and energy it takes to cook, so it stands to reason that prices are starting to reflect that…

Under the old rules of engagement, sure. But post 2016, base voter enthusiasm is the only metric that matters, undecided voters won’t move the needle as much as base voters who decide to stay home on election day. The purpose of this amendment was to get Dem voters to stay home by making the moderates look weak, and…
