Hieronymous Alloy posted:Does the world, separate from the demands of market capitalism, need or benefit from infinite additional illustrated batman stories? Spiderman gets reset because Sony needs to keep making Spiderman movies in order to avoid fully losing the IP rights to Disney. Nobody really wants to spend their entire career playing Batman, either. These parts are starmaking, but physically difficult, frustrating, and often shallow.

Yeah I dunno, a lot of the reason Trump's speaking isn't in the news is because people who aren't on the Trump train would rather get electroshock therapy than actually listen to it. It's just stream-of-consciousness turboracism and sneering stupidity. Biden, having lost a step, was almost no one's real first choice to do much of anything but be rid of Trump.

When gambling becomes broadly legal and available it always has huge consequences. "Pokeys" (slot machines) are everywhere in Australia and they have an epidemic of gambling addiction that springs from them. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/04/world/australia/australians-gambling-betting-machines.html It's not an accident that sports gambling aggressively targets 18-29s. Mass "degenerate" gambling is unavoidable when there are fifty ads an hour for it and every news site publishes betting recommendations.

I'm glad the Republican response has gone from meandering slop to absolutely unhinged.

On the other hand, we don't pay rent.

From what I understand, being very tired is functionally the same as being drunk in terms of motor skills and decision-making.

cat botherer posted:Netanyahu more or less openly supported Trump during the 2020 election. I wonder if that will hold in 2024, given Biden's near-total support for Israel's genocide campaign. Trump is not on the same page as far right hawks right now, probably because Netanyahu dared to recognize Biden as winner of the election, never mind that Netanyahu openly endorsed Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/01/us/politics/trump-israel-conservative.html Trump’s Call for Israel to ‘Finish Up’ War Alarms Some on the Right Recent remarks he made urging an end to the Gaza conflict, with no insistence on freeing Israeli hostages first, were another departure from conservatives’ support for Benjamin Netanyahu. quote:But there is no getting around the division between Mr. Trump and congressional Republicans, who seem to be competing to see who can more ostentatiously demonstrate support for Mr. Netanyahu’s government. They are flying to Israel to meet with Mr. Netanyahu, planning to invite him to address Congress and generally urging Israel to do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to annihilate Hamas.

Willa Rogers posted:I would like to think that the myth that "Lieberman killed the public option" died when he did, but I guess that's not the case. Max Baucus, chair of the Finance Committee & who was given the task of creating the Senate ACA bill by Obama, killed the public option in committee; it never got a floor vote in the Senate (by design). https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/27/health.care/index.html https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/49912-baucus-advances-without-public-option/ Rest assured Willa we're all truly fascinated that you still hateread D&D while being unable to get basic information straight, which must truly be frustrating for your evident ego.

FlamingLiberal posted:While I think the abortion issue will help Dems somewhat in FL, I don't think it's going to flip a Senate seat or push the state away from the GOP. GOP is clearly in red alert, they've seen the numbers and decided to pretend they're pro-choice.

Morrow posted:I still treasure the stories that came out of last holiday season where people discovered that they only enjoyed it because they could stuff their faces with food. Going on a significant diet can give you self awareness of how food has replaced other activities in your life. Suddenly you have to develop other hobbies!

I don't see a lot of rewriting history in that speech, more an avoidance of how a protest movement about twice as tepid as Occupy Wall Street is seen as an existential threat to university donors, such that campus administrators have usually taken a jackboots first approach that turned it into a specter of 1968. This truly kicked off when donors got some people fired from university leadership positions after Hill testimony around six months ago. The folks running Columbia don't want to end their careers, so they've helpfully caused a disaster.

golden bubble posted:https://twitter.com/DavidNir/status/1788007936289017920 Hard to tell which party is less enthused about their candidate. If the GOP candidate were anyone other than Trump, Biden would be in more trouble.
