yes m'am glory to this probably bad movie
i wrote this off as a joke but holy shit
I do think that "Republicans get fucking walloped" makes scenario 2 significantly more likely it's one thing to roll the dice with a president riding high and a very close midterm result where you don't need to go THAT far into the Cool Zone it's another to risk it when you just lost Texas
I think there’s a third possibility here: 1) They don’t take it lying down (cool zone) 2) They take it lying down (???) 3) Barely enough join to actually oust Trump in an attempt to push the party back into rebuilding wilderness sooner In terms of likelihood? 2 >>>>> 1 > 3
Mother of Renee Good: I voted for Trump under the impression that these agents were here to protect the citizens of the US, innocents like our family and the others here, against terrorists. Certainly not to accuse those of us here of being terrorists and take precious lives. This is madness.
Child: This is my first time meeting a mayor. Mamdani: Wow, have you ever met a prime minister? Child: No Norway PM Jonas Gahr Støre: *walks over*

You can pry the hope and love out of my cold dead corpse. I will ALWAYS be kind and good.
🍂🍁🍂 HAPPY FALL! 🍂🍁🍂 The best time of the year is upon us, and I couldn't be more excited about it. Crisp, chilly air. Leaves crumbling underfoot. Home of the best holiday. I love it so much.
One of the most famous quotes from Danish politics is "Nothing is being swept under the rug!" Two weeks later the entire government was toppled by the worst scandal of the past century. The runner-up is "It's going unbelievably well!" Preceding austerity by six months.

This is the only art from that era that I remember thinking was D&D accurate.
Oh yeah, this is totally what D&D adventurers who've fought their way to a hoard like this look like.
Humans have never changed. You don't need to know anything about the time and place to know everything you need to know about the man wearing a hat like this.
The extraordinary 3,000 year-old ‘Berlin Gold Hat’! One of four known cone-shaped golden ‘hats’ from ancient Europe. Sheet gold decorated with bands of solar and lunar motifs, which may represent calendars according to latest research. Neues Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
They even marked and removed their own official brushes oh my god. Yes let's just unleash some stupid ai to auto flag everything great job everyone.
CSP news ( #clipstudio ): apparently admins decided to crack down insanely on the asset store and proceeded to delete a TON of assets, including assets that didn't actually violate the current TOS. Supposedly according to reddit, staff are saying nothing spicer than hand holding will be allowed.
This is virtue signalling about virtue signalling
This should be the biggest political scandal of our times. It's literally Robinhood in reverse, robbing working people and lining the pockets of the rich.
Don't forget the $166,000,000,000 in tariffs that Americans paid that are going back to corporations. That's a wealth transfer the size of annual GDP of Slovakia, straight out of the pockets of working people. www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...
There is nothing in the Constitution that forbids the military from storing missiles and drones in a traffic circle. So it’s hard to understand the Left’s objection to President Trump’s bold new plan for his triumphal arch. by Jonathan Turley

Disney bought Fox in 2019 so they could compete with Netflix. Since then they have laid off at least 7000 people, jacked up prices, repeatedly introduced ads until they're on every tier, and only last year turned their first streaming profit. The mergers haven't been good for anyone.
Disney+ has altered its user agreement to clarify that ads will be allowed on all subscription tiers. https://bit.ly/4hhOjBo
Tell me the system is broken without telling me the system is broken.
"Even medical professionals are skipping health insurance because of high prices." A doctor and a pharmacist in Idaho just dropped coverage for their family of four. Their premium hit nearly $1,600 a month. If they can't afford it, who can?
Tell your reps of your governing body to protect sexual freedom. Payment processors HAVE to be fucking stopped. It feels petty atp
oh god i just noticed the shitfuckery going on with clip studio assets. it looks like maybe they got leaned on to delete nsfw poses and stuff, and it led to mass deletions of basically any kind of couple pose. even very chaste, cute, nonsexual couple poses i have in my library are all deleted
this may literally be the maddest I have ever seen a judge
Anyway Judge McMahon's answer is "well if there's a problem, you fucking call me and give your shitty frivolous opinion to my face right then and there."
