in india, you have to buy clarified butter from a street vendor, because the ghee is stored in the stalls

The point is not that anyone wants the war the continue, the point is this is why we told those fucking rubes they shouldn't elect an preening idiot tough guy to lead the country, because he'll use the power of the state recklessly and cruelly without any long term plans besides satisfying his id.

Freak on a Leash + State Fair + CS Lewis?

In conclusion, very funny guy, but mostly when he stays away from politics.

To be clear, he kept calling the news stories citing the imminent threat in the weeks preceding the war fake Biden-CIA warmongering.

I like Tim Heidecker's comedy. A LOT.

But in 2022 he was calling the impending invasion of Ukraine was a CIA psyop, which is something I'd expect from Alex Jones. Horseshoe conspiratorial thinking.

the conservative reaction to the virginia results remind me quite a bit of their reaction to the 2012 presidential election, where they were offended that democrats ran to win

excerpt of Alexander Hamilton's thoughts in support of proportional representation by the federal government, as recounted by James Madison: "But as States are a collection of individual men which ought we to respect most, the rights of the people composing them, or of the artificial beings resulting from the composition. Nothing could be more preposterous or absurd than to sacrifice the former to the latter. It has been sd. that if the smaller States renounce their equality, they renounce at the same time their liberty. The truth is it is a contest for power, not for liberty. Will the men composing the small States be less free than those composing the larger. The State of Delaware having 40,000 souls will lose power, if she has 1/10 only of the votes allowed to Pa. having 400,000: but will the people of Del: be less free, if each citizen has an equal vote with each citizen of Pa."

Alexander Hamilton, as recounted from Madison's notes on the Constitutional Convention:

Fellini's Casanova

Amazingly funny, and yet that's still somehow an understatement. I vividly remember being astonished by her wit and beauty the first time I watched the old Nichols and May improv act.

I will have to seek that out, sounds wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

Paul Gleason as Assistant Principal Richard Vernon

the kids have to be old enough for dick jokes before they can get into pop punk, poop jokes don't cut it.

Michael Angelo's are decent

The only consolation is that Hegseth knows he's full of shit. Every move he makes drips with insecurity, as if we couldn't tell from the drinking and wife-beating.

Infiltration and subversion are sapping and impurifying all of our precious bodily fluids. A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

Thank you. It's one thing to state that reporters have ethics they should ideally follow (and did in this case). It's another to act like everyone in the profession has the same standards.

calling it a pied-a-tierre tax is so smart, I'm surprised NY media hasn't come up with their own term for it to make it less appealing to non-wealthy people.

all happy families are alike...

Antonin Scalia died getting his back blown out by The Grimace

Clearly debatable whether that was the most effective or artistic way to relate whatever kind of idea Spielberg was thrusting at (no pun intended). IMO, other than that scene it's a masterpiece.

That's pretty close to how it hit me. The whole movie is asking what is the cost of home. Early in the film, Bana's character tells his wife she is his home. He can have it, but now he has to live with his conscience and trauma. You sow chaos and you shall live in fear of it being turned against you

The "progressive spaces" they want to hound you out of apparently doesn't involve any actual physical space, though. No way this person goes out in public.

so is the new term for a massive hit "cannon ball" or "belly flop"??

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

You know Prego isn't run by actual Italians because they'd never let you wear a wire to dinner.
