Great article! Surprised you didn’t mention the outrage over “black Aragorn” in the LOTR Magic set though, knowing you’re a fan of that game too

Why are there countdown timers on the products again? Is that how long until the line is unpaused?

Should have had a chemist proofread this article… there are many cringe-worthy errors.

You should make that your new banner image

It really seems like she finds a way to have a bad take on almost anything

I did too! I remember my dad mentioning that a coworker of his was fired and the next time I saw said person I was confused that he seemed ok and there were no visible burn scars.

Oh, I also remember looking at an atlas from the 80s and my mom telling me that the Soviet Union wasn’t around anymore because it “broke up.” I interpreted this to mean that huge fissures had opened up across the country, literally breaking it up.

I visited Carlsbad Caverns with my parents when I was about 6. Saw a sign saying the entrance fee for children was $5. I didn’t personally have $5, so I thought my parents would have to leave me behind.

Reading the whole thread in context, she’s making the same point as you

I applauded his filibuster. But voting against these confirmations would be effortless, and be consistent with what he claimed to be standing up for in his speech, so why isn’t he? That’s what I find strange (and frankly, indefensible).

1) doesn’t matter, they should still vote no

2) there are absolutely negative consequences in that it validates and normalizes fascist oligarchs

Those “meaningless” cabinet votes are more of the same equivocating crap. It doesn’t matter if they’re going to pass without any Democratic support. What do Democrats possibly have to gain by voting to confirm fascists? It’s not wrong to expect better from them.

“the Herculean effort she put into winning the election.” Are you serious? The effort was half-assed at best. It was a campaign built on the futile act of attracting the so-called centrists and alienating the progressive base. The messaging was largely weak, confused, and uninspired.

Please

Don’t feel bad for him. He got what he deserved.

Thank you! I actually edited the page last month because it hadn’t been updated since before the 2024 election, and all the links were broken because the county changed its URL structure at some point. Couldn’t figure out how to fix that graphic though.

How is that so different from the US? We have FPTP almost everywhere too (besides some recent experiments with ranked choice in a couple states), and that’s largely why there’s no viable third parties here.

Hey, I didn’t know that, that’s funny though

I bet he’s staying with his cousin, Celeste Maloy.
