That’s always aggravating when a news story leads with “three Americans among the thousands death in a freak landslide in Uzbekistan.” Like I care more about Karen from East Whereever, Oregon dying during her Eat, Love, Pray vacation than hundreds of foreigners.

Older millennial here: what are these “skills” you speak of?

The whole fucking point of covering vaccines is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is penny wise pound foolish to the extreme.

more Ukrainian focus on mobilizing manpower, expanding its defense industry and building fortifications

Haven’t they been doing that the last two years? Does Booty here think they’ve got some bootstrapping left in them they haven’t tapped yet?

Dude sells EV’s for a living and he’s standing up for the competition…

Donnie junior claims to have found massive amounts of correspondence from Kamala’s DA and AG days proving she discriminated against a large array of ethnicities, but it turns out he just didn’t understand what the phrase “with extreme prejudice” means.

Love the 180 from “the French left did the right thing by voting and strategically dropping out to ensure the far right doesn’t win seats” to “ it’s the left’s fault that macron is a power-hungry reactionary who spits in the face of democracy because of ideology.”

Spectacle, bread and circuses

He’s so cool

The city’s neighborhoods are run by people who get stuff done, which means that being mayor requires at least the pretense of doing favors for the people who do favors for you

Yeah when shit gets done in this town, when a playground gets renovated, when a new community center gets built, when the roads get repaved, we know who it is making that happen: the Turkish ambassador.

Depends. The police state shit and attacking immigrants? No, they don’t have an issue with that.

The nepotism/spoils stuff? That they probably don’t like, but for the most part can’t do anything about it.

On one hand, true.

On the other hand, getting Al Capone on tax fraud.

“Folks, these immigrants, they’re coming in with these guns, huge guns, so long, so long. American guns, they’re tiny, itty bitty, next to these monster guns the immigrants have, that Kamala is letting into our country. Americans, they pull out their guns next to these immigrant guns, they feel insignificant, useless!”

That makes sense, doesn’t she have some sort of congenital condition?

A lot of them get jobs with the MTA police long enough to qualify for that pension and then retire with two pensions.

That’s part of the problem, a lot of conservatives that got disillusioned with the GOP under Dubya went to the Democrats. But they’d didn’t adjust their politics, they just dragged the party rightward on everything but token minority/disenfranchised “representation.”

“I voted for him twice. I won’t vote for him again,” says Bob Lange, a family farmer from Malvern, Pennsylvania, of Trump in the ad that was first obtained by Axios. “Never thought I’d say this, but the Democrats are the party of common sense.”

Oh god not the “A vote for the Democrats is a vote for common sense” argument again. You have to offer voters something tangible, not “you’ll be smugly reasonable and rational if you vote for us.”

Restless leg syndrome

I think it’s telling that the pharma industry keeps dumping so much R&D and subsequently marketing into treating what are effectively minor QoL issues for older people in WEIRD countries.
