One thing that Mamdani, Bernie, and the Obama who ran in ‘08 have in common is an unapologetic moral clarity. They weren’t afraid to say something wrong is wrong and there isn’t some part of them you can point to in order to suggest hypocrisy or inauthenticity.

Matt I read the full story and I literally have no idea which detail you are talking about. I’ve got it down to, like, three.

Yeah this one is a hard check for sure, crazy for the third battle. As you get a sense of the game’s mechanics you’ll get a lot better though! Mages whip ass early. Always have a backup save if you’re prompted to save after a battle.

I like the rosemary one myself but Triscuits definitely clear the field.

I went into this piece agreeing with the core thesis of but when I actually read it I disagreed with so many of the examples that it made me wonder if I actually don’t agree with the thesis.

Much more satisfying to watch a Trump like character get [redacted] today than it would’ve been a year ago, for sure.

Agreed on all counts; I was saying this after my screening last night as well.

I feel bad for Baez, who has spent much of her life trying to get out from the shadow of Dylan and here is relegated to a love interest who sings only Dylan songs (and, in the end titles, one of her own about him). But I do think Barbaro is fantastic.

Serranos are a lot and you can’t get the same volume/weight of peppers without making them really spicy. You need to get a mix of two different peppers now to do what you used to be able to do with just one. This is why Trump won.

So I work as a tutor of high school students and know many others who do, and one thing we’ve all observed is that, among kids at least, the instinct to Google comes well after the instinct to search for something on TikTok or Reddit or to ask ChatGPT.
