Reposting this thread from Twitter so I can continue it by the next episode. A haiku for each episode of the original version of #Taskmaster . If you find this annoying blame those who encouraged it.

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

It’s not over but when it is I will never, ever forget the “serious people” who buckled and compromised and abetted the torture and crime and murder for a fascist lottery ticket.
I think the core point is that trump had a honeymoon in which capital/media/political opposition all decided he was the one true voice of america. he did a lot of horrible things with that (including murdering 100s of thousands), but didn't consolidate power...

The points don’t matter but it really was incredible to have no idea who would win Taskmaster until the very last moment

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Everyone expected this outcome six weeks ago. But then were led to believe some had miraculously found spines. It truly is the hope that kills you
Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

The infighting within the left makes it all the more insane people with vaguely defensible politics are still, a decade into trumpism, married to Republicans. The biggest difference of opinion in my household isn’t about policy or human rights, it’s about Nathan Fielder

As Democrats get their votes lined up and talking points ready, it’s important to remember they’re working together to lessen the fallout from their angry base.
In March (see below), Schumer voted to advance the bill but didn’t *technically* vote for final passage.
It’s dishonest bullshit.

"But Schumer and seven other Democrats who voted to advance the bill earlier Friday voted against passing it."
"Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire) was the only Democrat who voted for the bill. King also voted for it. Sen. Rand Paul (Kentucky) was the only Republican who voted against it."

I told my Senators that the message Senate Dems are sending is that if we vote for Democrats resoundingly in an election, they’ll promptly fold.
Is this what they want us to take from this?

Want to replace the fleece blanket I’ve had for like a decade that’s no longer soft. Was told about a nice brand, looked it up and it was $110 which is kinda pricy but I found a discount code. Then I found out that price is for A BABY BLANKET
