I don’t think Pokémon owns the visual identity of “colorful anime creatures”🤷

deconstructing and reconstructing your relationship to your parents is good for your mental health but also has the side effect of enabling you to admit that sometimes country music is good

I love the look of this!

I’m a certified hater who bought the system and the game for my girlfriend, but I’ve honestly played it just as much as she has. It’s surprisingly good

I gotta respect the hell out of him for committing to something that was going to be a political mess regardless of how well he handled because it was the right thing to do.

I’m not sure Fetterman was a deep cover Republican so much as a mixed quality Democrat who now has massive brain damage from a stroke. Platner seems similar. I hope eats a high fiber diet.

Honestly this was my impression at first, but I got talked into it and I’m having fun.

This seems like bad faith interpretation of what she said.

you (childish pokemon player): its a game about dog fighting

me (advanced pokotopia enjoyer): its a game about resettling native pokemon populations into prefabricated duplexes so i can strip mine the environment and provide high tech goods and services

Sorry, I took the number of replies as some kind of outrage.

I’m not saying you can’t be upset about the outcome, but clearly none of that made enough of a difference to the primary voters because she lost the election. I think she was a viable candidate who made strategic mistakes. Talarico’s campaign was firing on all cylinders. Her’s wasn’t.

I’m saying the choices Crockett made when it came to how she ran her campaign likely had more to do with her loss than Talarico going on Colbert. I think if she’d made different choices, she would’ve won.

Are the successful strikes falling off too? I’m not sure if the big takeaway is their launch capability being degraded or if it’s taking fewer munitions to get past air defenses.

Strikers is a decent follow-up if you’re game for a genre shift. I can’t speak for the other spin-offs

Where I’m at with this take is that it’s probably correct at some level, but I don’t think that’s sufficient to explain the phenomenon, whereas “the average Mainer so loathes the Democratic Party and brand that anyone outside of that looks appealing by comparison” seems to explain more movement.

I would caution against taking anyone saying “Berners” unironically as a serious person

“Vote Blue No Matter Who” is getting tested at every angle this cycle.

People keep saying “Another Fetterman” like Fetterman was some deep cover R the whole time and not a mixed bag democrat who now has massive brain damage

Well she clearly didn’t run a winning campaign 🤷

Blaming this on Colbert is cope. Crockett ran a bad campaign and squandered her name recognition. She entered the race three months late, never hired a state wide campaign manager. I’m not even sure they ran ads until the last two weeks. Like her or not, her strategic choices didn’t pan out.

Planned by who? Talarico? CBS? Colbert? The FCC? This angle just doesn’t make sense to me.

Crockett couldn’t win with it 🤷

He has, the campaign put out a statement 30 minutes after Crockett’s did calling for the same thing.
