Very funny to imagine Nixon signing the Kennedy-Griffiths bill, thinking to himself about how he’s really undercutting the bastard by doing this, let’s see him run against me when I’ve passed his life’s dream, and then he just does and spends the whole campaign accusing Nixon of treason

I didn’t even do a bad job as president either like I got “highly accomplished” on the little sidebar thing. I passed his healthcare bill! He just said fuck you and best my ass anyways. My best guess is that he’s just That Guy.

sidenote but i passed the kennedy-griffiths bill in this game and i think it's very funny that he beat my ass even after i passed his healthcare bill

got walloped by e.m. kennedy my first playthrough of pwh 2, the depiction of him in this game is just fascinating

The mental visual of Ted Kennedy surviving long enough to stand next to Obama as he signs an ACA with a public option into law is incredible. It’s like liberal crack cocaine.

A look inside the mind of a euphoric liberal on election night 2008

Robert Byrd should be gearing up for his 2026 re-election that he’ll inexplicably win by 34 points

If this was a real country Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd would be in the middle of their 11th terms right now

Dance music as a concept really peaked when it was being made on primitive synths by weirdos who have the innate sadness that comes with being British, it’s just cratered ever since. Save for LCD sound system. They’re real good.

I really have no clue where I'll be voting from next year because I'll be able to vote from my dorm, where I'd be able to vote in elections that are actually close instead of R+40, but abortion is back on the ballot in Missouri and after how close it was last time I'm very nervous about it

It was psycho killer

I think the first time I ever seriously listened to The Beach Boys was when I was 15, I’d been grounded and had no phone, so I would listen to pet sounds over and over again on loop on my tv, for two weeks I spent about six hours a day listening to it in my room. Gifted to us by god.

Entire point of being an older brother is to imprint all your tastes in art onto an 8 year old. I’ve got this kid picking talking heads songs for his walk up music. This is what it’s all about.

Oh definitely, there’s a turtledove book iirc where he’s wheelchair bound by ‘68, idk if it’d be *that* bad but whenever I have him live in a tl I always have him croaking by 1982 at the very very latest

It was such a banger I always feel so clever for making that

this is basically what the 1980 dnc was like more or less

Every time I mention some song from the 70s that I really like my dad will go on a tangent about how it’s because I lived a past life as a teenager in the 1970s and like let’s chill out here man I just liked the song

such a fucking banger

Yeah seriously I feel like no matter how fast I go it just does not matter

There’s a picture of me and him at chiefs training camp when I was 10, and it, as is every picture of me before like, idk, 14, is the single goofiest any person has ever looked

There are at least four Rolling Stones songs off the top of my head that have a serious argument for the single greatest song ever made

Eric Berry was that guy

I listen to music in phases, where every few weeks I’ll get hyper obsessive over a single band (or sometimes a genre) and listen to nothing but that band over and over until I’ve completely exhausted them as a resource, right now I’m doing that with The Rolling Stones
