I’d make an opening night reservation for the Ground Round reboot like it was peak MCU era.

I’m trying to lock in, but people are getting killed for no reason and people are placing bets on war strategies and making a lot of money.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Between the mass shootings, lust for war, rejecting vaccines and basic precautions against disease, and refusing universal healthcare, we need to start calling all of this for what it is: half of the country is part of a fucking death cult.

Vaccines are a miracle and this is joyful cheering for the idea of more suffering and dead children.

I'm just a guy with no significant political experience who has been right about everything in American politics for the last 20 years.

Hear me out: we're cooked.

Absolutely insane that our best case scenario is hoping Iran lets us go, "oops sorry you guys allow takebacks, right?"

Feels like we're in a bit deeper than that, geopolitically. But what do I know.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

I don’t want to explain homophobia to my kids. It’s disgusting and unnatural and makes them upset.

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Ok but even then, perhaps there is still a discernible difference between a guy who says "you might disagree with me on housing policy" and a guy who says "hey stop being mean to my Nazi bartender friend?"

Extremely unfair to Will, and that's saying something.

"would you give up ice cream for a day if it saved your neighbor's life?"

Good time to get your titers checked to make sure you still have proper immunity if you got vaccinated decades ago.

This is the tech equivalent of painting a picture of a lion, then fleeing in terror.

COVID showed us how extremely chill Americans are when they can't get their Tuesday ice creams, I wonder how this will go.

You can argue that we always were to some degree, but there is no more hiding the fact that we are a global menace -- we are the bad guys this country spent my entire lifetime warning me about.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

This happened when I did comms in horse racing, too. People who weren't gambling on the product, but who otherwise liked it and worked closely in it, were regularly dismissed as less knowledgeable and less serious than those betting on races every day.

Absolutely conflated with expertise.

No matter which dem senator candidate you voted for, what republicans did in Dallas should DISGUST YOU and worry you because if they did it now they’ll do it in November.
