Trump calling Somalis "garbage" en route to a literal militarized purge of the community is a real litmus test for Democratic party politicians. Imagine being so worthless that they can't find time even to speak up about it.

I'm pretty sure what we're seeing is a succession of people reading the room and picking the next exit ramp they think they can make sound convincing or rationalize.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Trump's popular vote plurality was catastrophic for the United States and also the future prospects of the Republican party
Cosmically funny that, the American public has had less than a year of uncut republican governance, and they’ve decided that they absolutely hate this shit, spit it out

Election result after election result keeps showing us progressives over perform particularly in the south. A lot of folks will keep trying to discount these results, but make no mistake, to win next year we need candidates that can energize our base.
NYTimes projecting a net shift of 14 points from 2024 with these variations between the counties
Turnout in 2022 here was ~180k, tonight is going to come in at most marginally under (currently ~168k with a little left to count)
that's a hell of an electorate to swing this much

A byproduct of the streaming only / shift away from physical is the launch of something is the worst it will be with the implicit promise or incremental improvements and corrections rolled out over time as opposed to having to get it right for a cutoff print and ship date.

Good clarification for people who will think this is due to changing the aspect ratio, which is the reason crew members and equipment often end up in shots of older shows that have updated. In this case, Mad Men always was framed this way - this was just a totally different huge screw up!
This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.
HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right
