Unless you're into that shit, pun intended..

That the Na'vi have bad memories and watch baseball with Dubya? 🤷

Due process gets a little weird here

That's a strange way to say "asylum seekers don't have rights because they're not legally considered people by US law"..

I think you misunderstood.

democracy cannot exist with massive wealthy inequality and money equal to speech

Is supposed to be the affirmative statement afaict.

The Netherlands having low wealth inequality and not equating money with speech (or giving corporations all the rights of people but none of the responsibilities and restrictions) makes it much MORE democratic than it would otherwise be.

I have no idea what that means but... Maybe? 🤷

We have to stop feeding into the narratives of these false dichotomies. We cannot choose between two evils but rather make a new alternative and work on the ground with all our power to create that alternative," she told RFE/RL. "But either way, the fight for democracy and fair and democratic elections will always be...a very basic principle that everyone needs to be able to stand by."

Absolutely. 100% this. For Georgia, for Russia, for the US, for the rest of the West, for the rest of the world.

The Dubya war on terror "you're either with the establishment ruling party unquestioningly or you're with the establishment opposition party unquestioningly" or "you either love NATO or approve of Putin's atrocities" bullshit has to end.

Here you go, professor 😁

I have now considered it. Not enthusiastically supporting the proposal, I must admit.

My bright spot today is tennis!

As long as they don't take our cathedrals..

I don't want to hate black people, I renounce Jesus Christ!

Discover magazine found an unrelated but no less real source.

I guess they're just really bad at sarcasm 🤷

Only thing Folger's is good for is providing a receptacle for the friend you're about to wear all over your shades, beard, and hair because everything's a fucking travesty with Walter.

it's not like it's only her or confined to Democrats.

True. She just happens to be the very best at it, bar none.

She's less awful than most Republicans and a few of the Democrats in Washington in general, but when it comes to legal corruption, nobody's as prolific and skilled as Pelosi. No Democrats, no Republicans.

That's how she was elevated to leadership over 20 years ago without seniority and with no legislative accomplishments to speak of: nobody's as good at corralling and representing the owner donors as her.

The world where Putin is saying that it belongs to Russia and Trump is Putin's bitch. AKA possibly this one.

Except myself, an elder millennial born on the penultimate day of 82. I'm at peace with being middle aged 😄

That was the headline of my review of the Barbie movie.

Thanks, much appreciated 🫶
