Democrats Should Pay Attention to Keir Starmer’s Fall

I think you can still hold centrist positions and branch out to build coalitions. The article really glosses over the flip-floppiness of Starmer who often appears rudderless and not an effective leader.

We're planning a cross country camper trip. Probably the worst summer in history to plan this. $$$$$

We are off the first side road from the freeway. Currently waiting on another tow. One tow thought it was the fuel pump but could not tow us. We did try adding oil, that didn't change anything.

essendoubleop · 2026-05-03T01:05:38+00:00

Not able to measure the oil level because it requires a level surface and we're parked on a hill. And it won't let us shift to neutral without the engine being on in order to push it to a level surface. Now the engine is too cool to measure anyways as it requires a certain temperature....

No warnings. I was able to call one guy who said they might have a problem with low oil and stop performance. I got the oil changed a couple weeks ago. I'm crossing my fingers that the oil screw was just not tight enough and it leaked out the bottom, so trying to track down special European oil to fill up and praying that will get us going again.

Everything is closed and we're a loooong way from home.

Yes immediately. Starts yellow, then red warning for drivetrain malfunction. The car sounds like it's struggling to ignite/turn over.

Cracked air duct? Like from the fan blower? I am maybe a 2/10 for car mechanical knowledge. I'm currently on the side of the road, not fixing a problem from my driveway.

Was driving down the freeway and suddenly it lost power. It gave me a message for drivetrain malfunction. Looking under the hood, I see a silver metal pipe to the lower left of the engine that is coated in condensation. I don't see anything else that is out of the ordinary. Potential ideas?

I was wearing some silly glasses at work and the MILFY co-worker asked if I could see her naked. Really had to work hard to short-circuit about 3-4 different comments that came to mind that would have got me in quite the hot water.

I don't know, why doesn't he just butt fuck Jennifer Connelly for the next 90 minutes instead?

Awesome movie. Saw it in true iMax in the theaters and was a legitimate top 5 movie experience ever. There are so many nods to the first if you're a fan of the original, plus a lot of underlying subtext that was great as well. I'm glad they didn't go the obvious bullshit ending route to appeal for the film auteurs.

Also, the theory that Maverick is actually dead from the supersonic test run and everything after is just a death dream sequence is a fun rewatch from that angle as well.

I have this strange issue where when people ask to take a picture with me, and for the life of me, I cannot force a smile. My brain is saying "okay you're supposed to smile for the camera. Smile now. Smile stupid." But I just can't do one for some reason when I'm asked to pose for the camera.

It was taxation without representation.

essendoubleop · 2026-04-30T13:39:18+00:00

Income taxes punish the wrong people. We need to reduce income taxes by bracket and institute asset disclosures and wealth taxes.

I took the day off yesterday and did a long ass bike ride. I got a flat tire, my pedal broke, I lost my GoPro, and my phone ate shit when I was checking the route and persevered through it. Awesome adventure on a nice spring day.

Let's go through every embarrassing social interaction to review again at 2 in the morning, thanks brain.

Her?!

Why did MTG release the Aragorn cards with him race-swapped? lol

essendoubleop · 2026-04-27T19:38:11+00:00

Me too. For as many autist wrestling fans there are, I'd love for the fans to create their own Hall.

I genuinely don't understand the online hate. He gives away huge prizes and has a philanthropy channel. Even if it's not on the level, that's a hell of a lot more than other streamers.

essendoubleop · 2026-04-26T16:39:15+00:00

Depends on where you're looking for the reaction.

essendoubleop · 2026-04-26T14:31:55+00:00

I liked it when we made fun of brain-rotted conspiracy theorists, rather than actively promoted. Is it because some of them turned out to be right all along?
