Bad Optics here, not a good idea compared to 'between two ferns' - Seinfeld is supposed to be hanging out with fellow comedians. "Obama's a comedian alright, and the jokes on us" But I bet Obama never gets to drive and he just wanted to do something cool.

Pretty sure Obama gives no fucks about optics any more. He has finally realized that no matter what he does the right will call him Hitler, so he's just doing what he wants.

Yeah, might really hurt him in his next election, or in his ability to get things done with Congress.

No, it's just typical lame duck stuff. You have two years and as long as your own base doesn't really care, you're not going to harm anyone's election prospects

Hey I wonder what Martin O Malley is up to.... Martin O'Malley fails to qualify for Ohio's primary ballot The Guardian posted:Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley failed to qualify for Ohio’s primary ballot after falling short of the signatures needed to appear before the state’s voters, a spokesman for the state’s elections chief said on Thursday. Oh. Business as usual.

Rhesus Pieces posted:I've heard of Unitarianism but never looked too deeply into it. It sounds like all the positive aspects of liberal religious traditions (community, charity, social justice, etc.) with none of the judgmental or supernatural bullshit. The supernatural bullshit is optional, but you get to pick your own if you want it. So you have a fair number of atheist UUs, but also pagan UUs, vaguely pan(en)theist UUs like me, a smattering of Christian/Jewish/Islamic UUs, and a bunch of miscellaneous. It also varies heavily by congregation. The one closest to me is very strongly atheist/humanist, which I have nothing against but find a little boring, so I drive a little out of town to the one that has more pagans, deists, lapsed methodists, and cool atheists who are a little more chill about the rest of us having our weird superstitious nonsense. It's definitely great if you have kids and want to help inoculate them against religious conversion attempts and other nasty bullshit they can run into, plus there's a comprehensive, LGBTQ-positive sexuality curriculum for Sunday school. /churchchat

A little happy in my day. The running theme I'm seeing is that even a healthy chunk of conservatives/cop apologists thought the Tamir Rice case was going to be a slam dunk, and are kinda left scratching their heads over the result. Appallingly blatant miscarriages of justice tend to have that effect.

In what must surely be a coincidence, the State Dept. is releasing more Hilary emails today, more than we ever cared for, less than what they were legally obligated to, and I don't know how to finish this sentence.
