this does explain imo why the Frasier reboot didn't work. the fun thing, and the thing that would've differentiated itself from Frasier the way that show did from Cheers, would be to lean into the fucked up pessimistic insanity of our current age and show how a dandy like Frasier Crane copes

The MAGA vigilante doing the pepper spraying here is Brian Colin Veach (Tinkerton), a man with a long domestic violence rap sheet. By my count he sprayed at least four people yesterday, none of whom were a threat.

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

my favorite Mardi Gras memory came near the end of Fat Tuesday, at a dance party near the Slab. I turned around and saw a man holding a framed portrait of David Lynch. He rested his cheek against the glass and danced with it for like an hour

this is exactly the wrong way to think about owning and carrying a firearm. i cannot overemphasize how irresponsible Councilor Smith's logic is here. Openly carrying a weapon you know nothing about is just BEGGING to have that weapon taken off your body and used against you.

So Portland bans the carrying of firearms in City Hall. Then a peaceful protest spooks one councilor and now they're advocating to allow JUST councilors to open carry, even though the main advocate for this rule admits they don't know how to use a gun and just want it on their body as a totem.
After protesters interrupted a Portland council meeting Wednesday, one councilor is looking to loosen the city’s rules around carrying guns in City Hall.
Loretta Smith calls for open carry for Portland city councilors following latest protest
The District 1 councilor said a Wednesday protest that ended in four arrests is the latest action at council meetings that has herself and her colleagues fearing for their safety.

you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.
He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

it's stupid because it inherently means accepting the silicon valley line on AI.
"the left" is like ten people. AI skeptics are most of the country. because we're well aware there are certain specific things the tech can do but ZERO evidence it's a multi trillion dollar industry

The reason that “the left is losing on AI” discourse makes me so incredibly upset is that the right has no positive vision for the future in which the mass unemployment predicted by boosters occurs

Nah man, prediction markets are not going to “save” journalism, they’re absolutely ushering in its demise.
Oh no. I just had the thought that this might actually might be the business model that saves journalism. If we’re betting on everything, it creates an incentive for more, and more accurate information… maybe even more local journalism. Eeek.
