I still say this all the time.

Time once again to pitch my period epic prestige tv series “Justinian vs the Whale”. Hoping to get Jeremy Strong to play Porphyrios.

Yeah, like, none are free of sin, heh, but at least nobody calling themself a Democrat voted for Trump! What else is there to say? We're kind of the only people who AREN'T to blame in some way.

Hey, the movie is bananas but great! Like, obviously nothing about this world makes any sense but at least they handwave it away with "eh, humanity got saved by a crazy billionaire who really liked trains. Now we live in Train World. Deal with it."

We love our women don't we folks? Love their dignity and their self-determination!

"How would you react if I looked you in the eye and said 'it happened'? Would it get weird?"

Let’s just hope we can convict SOME of them of crimes. It can happen. But it will not happen through “mass arrests” or anything like that.

People STILL want to do this stuff, too! “We arrest them all in January 29! Mass trials!” etc etc. And hey I get it; we’d all love that. But it doesn’t work like that, and isn’t supposed to!

I guess I don't follow.

Hey now! Detroit's great in lots of ways. Wayne County is the victim in this story, not the bad guy! 🙃

This is the kind of thing that people on here panic over--and it IS really obvious and crude election meddling that people SHOULD get angry about. But it does sound like the officials in question have dismissed it with the disdain it deserves, so no reason to think it'll WORK.

tfw the author committee kicks you out because they are perverts

Oh yeah. Real fun book, if you don’t mind rambling a bit.

Well that was a fun journey anyway. Sigh.

S3 had David Thewlis (and Ray Wise!) but isn't as fun end-to-end.

The ones I’ve seen all have their moments but yeah. Great cast in that one.

People are going to say you're nothing but a shill for Big Cracker™

The only serious knock on him at this point is "electoral resume". But it is what it is. It does not appear that the broader electorate cares about that AT ALL, given who the president is. "Cabinet secretary" beats "TV clown" in terms of professional achievement.

It would be a good buddy comedy. Or "awkward roommates" sitcom. (Not as good as Buttigieg/Klobuchar, though.)

Your Boomer aunts are more reliable voters than you are. It is what it is, guys. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Repost to give someone annoying an ulcer.

I was gonna say. This very much goes along with Pope-ing. It’s part of the modern job description. You NEED to have intellectual heft, at least in that world.

Man I stick up for this guy all the time. Knows his lane, knows what he’s doing, etc. But come on, man. Pandering to the enthusiasts is one thing, straight-up insulting us is another.

and whatever “class solidarity” they may have had was rendered irrelevant by crushing defeat. So yes, that is the model to emulate, roughly.

Yeah as long as everybody on all sides of a beef is profoundly unserious I don’t mind a bunch of murder talk flying around. Let em fight, whatever.

Once every few years, this buttoned-down milquetoast public servant gets really excited about [checks notes] competitive international ice hockey that he cracks open a couple of cold ones with the boys. And?

"In conclusion, you can absolutely have a 'national culture' if you want, and derive as much meaning from it as you're able, but no one else is obligated to care about it. Even if they theoretically belong to your 'nation'."

"...but inclusion into WHAT?"

"Oh, okay. That's the question. Liberal here, I'll field this one. It's simple, really. Inclusion into full citizenship and human rights and equal protection under the laws. It's really not THAT difficult. Glad you asked!"
