I'm still mad that people are supporting the Nazi tattoo rape apologist Blackwater guy. Just fucking look at what John Fetterman is doing in office as the "anti-establishment" and "populist" candidate and tell me it's a good idea to ignore massive red flags.

It couldn't possibly be a combination of high rents on commercial spaces, shoppers having less disposable income, and the prevalence of online shopping.
Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores

Nothing quite sums up the zeitgeist of the 2020s better than "what's the point of standards?"
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

EXCLUSIVE: Internal rumblings within the newsroom come after the S&P head resigned and the network disbanded its vaunted Race and Culture unit.

I think I have a cold. I wonder if that means I shouldn't get my COVID booster + flu shot on Thursday. I kind of figure if I'm feeling like garbage anyway, might as well.

I would get a custom made giant calendar made of designer handbags of varying brands, sizes and colors. Each bag would be stuffed with candies from the country of that bag's origin.
everything is bonkers right now and we need a timeline cleanse. let’s play a game. if I handed you a blank check but you could ONLY spend it on an Advent calendar, what absurdly pricy collection of little treats are you buying yourself?

This was way too overstuffed and unfocused to satisfy me, but fun enough for a group watch.

On top of everything else going on in this movie, we've got a Doublemeat Palace situation now?

Being pale makes you attractive to vampires? As a certified pasty northerner, I'm not sure if I should be happy or concerned about that.

I don't remember when it came out that Ed Westwick is an alleged rapist. Hopefully after he was cast in this.

I took an extreme close up because Dracarys has such cute face stripeys and I had to capture it.

Unlike most people on here, I don't blame every member of the party for 8 Senator's votes. However, I don't think this thread is the way to do damage control. The way to control the damage isn't to tell people not to be mad. It's to shame party members who cave as DINOs.
Many feel betrayal and frustration, and the feelings are hot right now.

I get it. I have my own feelings.

I'm enjoying the story of Welcome to Derry so far (a little under halfway through last night's episode), but not having the monster in Pennywise form and having to resort to different CGI things is holding it back a lot.

Yeah, this seemed pretty obvious. The conspiracy theory mentality that all Dems secretly agree with fascism and voting against the fascists is just proof of the conspiracy doesn't make sense. The turncoats are just weak and didn't care enough and Schumer doesn't have the juice to make them care.
weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy

they're explicitly giving up. "It wasn't working so we quit" that's the message

It makes me happy that when I see posts about NFL players, I almost never know who they are. I used to always absorb the information against my will. Now my brain knows the storage space is becoming limited and refuses to learn information I don't need and want.

First time watch of Match. People keep talking about it so hopefully it lives up to the hype.

Just a thought, and I'm going to mute this because I'm tired and not really in the mood for fighting, but if you want Democrats to fight for us, it's probably not wise to blame the ones who vote correctly and speak out constantly for the actions of a handful a Senators.
November 10, 2025 at 2:51 AM
Amy Klobuchar isn't up for reelection and Tina Smith is retiring, but I do plan on calling them tomorrow to thank them for voting no on the cave, but to express disappointment in Schumer's leadership and tell them they should get a new minority leader. There's ways to target him other than a primary
Instead of targeting Schumer directly maybe target the people underpinning his support. This is a list of Senators up for re-election next year (I have not fact checked at all, I'm tipsy googling)

That's good and all, but even if he can't stop some of the Senators from caving, if he wants to avoid the blame, he needs to speak out against those who go against the party at minimum. If he doesn't want to lead, he should give up the position to someone who will.
Schumer: "I must vote no. I can not, in good faith, support this CR. ... Make no mistake about it, the American people know who is inflicting this pain on them."

He stops short of urging his colleagues to vote "no."
