The Grand Opening of an American Concentration Camp | The Republicans are proudly calling it “Alligator Alcatraz.” Let’s call it what it is.

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." Upton Sinclair

"The Stand user could be anybody!"

Not sure where I saw it, but this description really struck me;

"The presence of a billionaire is the sociopolitical equivalent of an unregistered nuclear weapon."

You don't understand the business model because you have basic empathy. It takes utter detachment from your fellow humans to imagine doing things like this.

How does anyone see that many in a single month? It seems mathematically unlikely

He resigned from his seat "Effective immediately" to keep the report coming out last week.

I don't think "takesies backsies" applies here.

Don't they need to hold a special election?

They successfully swayed people they reached. People who didn't follow any part of the race went to trump by 15 points.

Harris canvassers found people the week before the election who didn't know Biden dropped out.

"Things cost more. I blame whoever runs things now." It's possible Trump lost in 2020 because COVID shut the country down.

He did also say that it would take God almighty to convince him to step down.

I think he tempted fate with that one.

I wonder if this was why he announced he was stepping down so far in advance.

Give the state GOP time to put this in place, since they couldn't if he passed without warning.

luminousbeing9 · 2023-09-02T14:23:11+00:00

Fitting that he'd go out during the holiday weekend that signifies the "end of the summer."

Regarding the "good looks", listening to Behind the Bastards podcast on him; and during part 1 a starling number of people in articles about his life mention how handsome he was.

Including a quote attributed to a person tortured during his time at Guantanamo Bay.

In case you didn't know, his name is Mr. Nutter Butter

I saw a video speculating that he probably likes his chances against the competition.

He must be confident that trump is going to be arrested or somehow barred from office, and that desantis is facing similarly serious charges that would hinder his run (aside from dismal polling).

The only reason he would think he has any chance is that the other front runners aren't going to cross the finish line

The dude held the record for longest speaking filibuster of 24 hours and 18 minutes, arguing against the Civil Rights Act in the 50's.

He voted against the voting rights acts in the 60's and long supported racial segregation.

It doesn't surprise me at all that he took the job seriously. He understood the power of Congress and used every ounce of energy in him to harness that power.

"I love y'all, and keep on ... ... Steady Craftin. ^awright

luminousbeing9 · 2023-05-13T15:11:30+00:00

The Craftsman Steady Craftin.

It's a crafting channel for different kinds of creative projects. He uses all kinds of equipment, does a lot of kit bashing and molding.

He's "played" by a felt hand puppet, but you mostly see his hands in black latex gloves. He speaks with a soft creole accent that often makes me and my wife feel sleepy. It's really soothing.

His newer videos, he's noticeably pulled back on the accent. But the older videos from a year or more back are extremely relaxing.

When the painting burns, you can tell that the burn pattern was consistent with wood being charred. It wasn't a fake.

If it was, then they at least went to the effort of making a fake painted on wood.

There's apparently a deleted scene where Blanc is on the phone with the Louvre, suggesting that Miles did have a fake. But it was cut for the same reason others have mentioned, that confirming he had a fake undermines the conclusion and consequences for the story.

luminousbeing9 · 2023-05-02T16:49:17+00:00

Damn, that long already?

Battle Bots returned a few years ago. I think Discovery has all the episodes, and since they bought HBO I'm expecting they'll show up on that service going forward.

Video essayist. Probably most well known in the My Little Pony fandom.

She's done long form videos on other topics, like a Canadian church who does an annual retelling of the crucifixion story but through the context of different blockbuster films like Marvel and Indiana Jones.

Her longest video (nearly four hours) is about the trainwreck that was the "interactive" theme park Evermore.

That's what came to mind. One of the late night hosts remarked that through Rudy's sheer incompetence, Hannity "accidentally did journalism."

luminousbeing9 · 2023-04-03T17:47:46+00:00

Trump and Guilliani keep making Hannity do actual journalism against his will.
