It's pretty telling that every ad I've seen against Markey is just about how he's old and needs to pass the torch, as if they reeeeeally don't want people to notice who the other candidate is. (It's Seth Moulton, who sucks.)

This is low-level propaganda that elides the real story, which is that the younger candidate in this race is an anti-trans clown and the older candidate is one of the Senate's strongest progressives. Please vote for Markey in MA, friends. The old guy is the only choice here.

So YouTube threw me an ad for that Johnny Depp Scrooge movie, and the thing that's weird about it isn't the story (which didn't look at all different), it's that it looks like a Jim Carrey movie. Like Johnny Depp is trying to become Jim Carry. Which, I think, is a wholly novel form of pathetic.

Whatever you want to ‘get done’ while conceding the enemy’s hatred, will be done according to the enemy’s hatred. You are seeing right now what three decades of conceding Republican arguments on immigration have led to. They did not simply turn a switch. The apparatus had been built for them.

Yep, this is empirically true. Sentence length is largely no impact; certainty of punishment is high impact, as is short time between crime and punishment The US system* gets it exactly backwards, with draconian sentences sometimes levied a long time later (*probation violations excluded)

Incidentally we had an anonymous guy on old-Twitter who actually ran a lot of the numbers on crime v conviction stats. He really demonstrated pretty clearly that it was the threat of being actually punished (not the degree of potential punishment) that deterred crime.

A Plague Tale is a terrific series, and the latest game, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, charts a new action-oriented path that still has the series' trademark beauty and brutality

"LibreOffice 26.8 contains no generative AI features. Documents are not transmitted to remote services for processing, and no component of the suite requires network access to function. This is a deliberate position."

Tim Curry had been doing poorly ever since he had a major stroke back in 2012. Amazingly, he still did the occasional VA work, voicing Auntie Whispers in 2014. Theres an ethereal frailness to her because of what he went through. He, like Dolly, was an amazing human being.
