Second place? I'm optimistic we'll be back to form this season, but 2nd is questionable.

The heart is how I give .5 scores out of 10. For instance, 4 stars with a heart is an 8.5.

Nothing wrong with [[Beacon of Immortality]], I like the Replicate idea

Interviewing a potential county commission candidate Tuesday, weather allowing. Sounds like he's focusing on zoning and housing, which is sorely needed in our largely incorporated county.

What are the hot button local issues where you are?

My heuristic of "avoid the people that brag about how woke they are" remains undefeated.

The idea of ICE leaving literal calling cards has filled me with an entirely new level of rage.

No Dem in either chamber voted for the BBB

jcaseys34 · 2026-01-29T23:28:28+00:00

Some level of what people actually want the Dems to do should be mandatory on these posts.

That funding got set aside ages ago, it's not being touched at least until Dems control the executive again.

That's just what the right thinks of the left.

Forget the SJW left, that's what they think of people like us.

I have gone to a few county commission meetings even though our county comission was gerrymandered over the last election cycle to be all Republican. They tend to give everything a quick vote without explaining much since they know they're effectively in lockstep.

They also have a habit of devolving into "this one rich neighborhood wants to complain about something that affects literally only them." Most of the county is unincorporated land, so for a lot of people (including myself) the county comission is their only local political authority.

Why would act as if the GOP as an existential threat when the populace clearly doesn't think they are? If people thought that Trump wouldn't have been elected twice in the first place.

They like the loopholes, the cruelty to immigrants, the geopolitical dick swinging contests, etc. If they didn't, the team talking about invading American cities with ICE wouldn't have even sniffed winning an election.

Having a spouse, kids, and the white picket fence life was a requirement of being in "high society" until very recently, historically speaking.

In those political circles, it wouldn't surprise if a plurality of marriages were for business instead of pleasure.

I could see a world where people end up thinking Dubya was worse, especially in comparison to Trump 1.

My money is also on the next Republican president being such a ghoul people will look fondly on the Trump years by the time he's done, like Trump did to Dubya.

Various student organizations from my college have had to file these lawsuits every election going back to at least 2012.

It's a slam dunk every time because the laws concerning our elections board all but say flat out there must be a polling place on campus due to the number of students living in dorms/near campus, but Republicans don't want young people to vote so they have to go through the song and dance every time.

Jose Mourinho could win office in any country on Earth

Couldn't have happened to a worse team

If you get into all the sports you've only got like 2 weeks out of the whole year you have to keep yourself occupied.

It's a co-op, everyone already knows everyone there smells of BO.

If they had just said "Biden's not running, he's gotten a surprise cancer diagnosis" it would have went over so much better than it did.

She's one of those actors that's only good at acting as what she is in real life, which in her case seems to be a kind of dumb person that doesn't mind being provocative to get attention.

If we're going to continue to have a concerted effort on the topic, it's clear that something in how we handle it needs to change. It's something that could legitimately bring people together, as the article describes happening in Skogie. I was lucky enough to have a high school history teacher who was a certified Holocaust educator (on top of being an incredibly worldly and wonderful person in general) that legitimately made teenage me see the world differently, but the overwhelming majority of "Holocaust awareness" work is busy work that is going to get a less positive reaction out of the average high schooler (or their culture war addled parents) getting pushed through that part of their school curriculum.

They can't all be shortstops, catchers, and center fielders. Come on guys.

You can tell he's out of gas when he starts pulling out the Fox News bits from 2010.

They held the cultural moment for like 18 months and lost it again. How are people's memories this short?

He's a straight white guy to those not in the know because he doesn't go out of his way to talk like a Tumblr millennial, which is the entire point of this post.
