STAY WITH ME. There is an ethical obligation to vote for the lesser of two evils in a general election. AND "Vote blue no matter who" is not a valid sentiment during the primaries. It is our JOB to put the best candidate forward. If you DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THAT you are PERPETUATING THE PROBLEM.

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

When I was younger I really wanted a boat. For a few years now I've realized I really just wanted one of my good friends to have a boat 😅

One aspect of being an adult is realizing that big toys have to be maintained, and knowing that fact recontextualizes the desire for the big toy. If I have a sudden desire for a deeply impractical sports car, I'll rent one for a week, which is enough time to enjoy it without any further obligation.

I am not disputing the utility of the systems when deployed in by people with sufficient training to know how to use them, though I do think that their use is unethical, full stop. But even if you disagree with me on that last part, the fact remains that they are willing to steal your work.

I know this is radical but maybe the party with the antisemitism problem is the one that can't stop with the Nazi shit, rather than the one who has a handful of outlier candidates with this crazy notion to stop using our tax money on bombs we know will be used to murder children.

her very existence was an indisputable reminder of how many things framed as inevitabilities were actually just someone’s choice. there actually is enough money for everything. the wealthy could fully fund literacy and public health and the arts and child welfare. they just won’t

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.

Blatty: this is just like during the Third Reconciliation of the Last of the Meketrex Supplicants, when many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you! Blatty: don't act so confused Blatty: you all should have learned about that in CCD

2/2 And while I'm at it: Reminder that DC has more residents than two entire states w total of 3 Reps and 4 US Senators (WY and VT, closing in on ND). We pay *more* federal tax per capita than any other jurisdiction—really, top even NY and CA. And have zero vote in Congress. Statehood for DC.
