It's still the NY Times, so you're gonna get some both-sides-bs, but a pretty good read and does get to how the cowardice of the Dem Party is only holding itself and the left back. (Gift article, shouldn't be paywalled)
My shitty econ undergrad degree is enough to know 178K is not a particularly strong showing, much less given the dismal numbers and outright losses in the last year, but NYTimes is gonna NYTimes and sanitize this shit like always.
Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.
And once you do it's a CURSE

Final Fantasy 30 day challenge--today is challenges 6-10: Worst NPC, fave job system, fave cutscene, fave battle system, and fave job/class.
Way behind!
Worst NPC: The guy who knocks Vivi over in the opening of FF9 🖕
Fave job system: FF12
Fave Cutscene: Tie between the opera scene in FF6 and the destruction of Alexander/Alexandria in FF9.
Fave battle system: The "classic" setup in FF7-R
Fave job/class: Black mage!
It's so hard to see them cry and talk about their experiences ... and then see Tyra give a thousand excuses for why it wasn't her fault and how nobody could have predicted that things like eating disorders and sexual assault are bad.
Hahaha I had a similar thought, she’ll still never catch her
30 Day Final Fantasy challenge--day 5 is "Favorite Villain"
Sephiroth in art from the original FF7
Day 5 - Favorite Villain: It was never gonna be anyone else. I was into him before I really knew what that meant ... and when my hair goes fully gray I will spend 6 years growing it out just to look like this
Tyra's infamous "We were all rooting for you!" rant
Tyra saw Naomi Campbell all over the Epstein files and was like nobody's gonna take my villain crown, hold my purse .... and released the ANTM doc
Haha look every entry has its fans and its detractors!!
Special hateful shout-out to XV, which said "You hated everything about XIII so here's the opposite--it's open world! But it's the blandest world ever. It stars a man again! But not just one lame man, 3 lame men. The battle system is more action! But way worse!"
A 30 day final fantasy challenge--the day 4 challenge is "Favorite Protagonist"
Day 4 - Favorite Protagonist: If we're going by MY RULES then it's Balthier from XII all day, any day. That game has like 4 characters who could be called protagonists, but he's by far the most interesting and sexiest protagonist this series has given us. Dissent on that point will not be tolerated.
Ok already behind so here's days 2 and 3:
Favorite FF: IX. It will probably reappear on this list, but it's perfect and charming. Vivi for the win.
Least favorite FF: XIII. I hated this game. The battle system was nonsense and the lack of any exploration or any open areas completely turned me off.
Ok let's see if I keep this up. It's basic, but this was my first FF and first RPG! I had it for PC but my family's was shit--luckily my grandparents had a new PC so I would play this at their house. The love and nostalgia I have for it are closely tied to my grandparents and staying with them.
Why yes I will have it!!

Well I tried, but not spending $250 on nosebleed tickets even for Robyn. Sorry girl, love you forever!
Starting "How to Get to Heaven from Belfast" right fucking now .... it's the new show from the creator of Derry Girls and I don't know why everyone isn't freaking out
I never watched Dawson's Creek, but watching Don't Trust the B***** in Apt. 23 gave me a whole load of respect for this guy. You MUST watch it if you've never seen it. RIP.
This guy I know has recently been using AI to "improve" himself in photos. First--I know you biblically, sir, that ain't you. Second--doesn't it depress the fuck out of you to then look in the mirror? I have enough issues, I don't need some "perfected" version of myself that I can never attain.
ALWAYS makes me cry and why A Mighty Wind will always be my favorite Guest movie ❤️
Fuck fuck fuck just fuck it all
I recommend reading this whole thread, what a journey.
My timeline is pretty rancid today, so this was nice 😍
Back in Chicago and so happy to see my best friend: My bidet 😍

This looks great!

On one hand I agree, kids shouldn't be on social media, but I can't help but think this all comes down to Israel/Palestine and the establishment blaming social media for younger people's more rational view of Israel and its actions.
Also, Rahm, get real: You will never, ever be president.
