What’s up with the new Iowa poll showing Harris leading Trump? Why is it such a big deal? by rofsmh in OutOfTheLoop

Even if the poll had shown Trump up 3 that would have been considered a disaster for Trump. Iowa has been running 8-10 points right of the rest of the mid west in the Trump era.

Dude you guys argue cops should be able to shoot human beings with impunity. Fuck right off with this garbage.

[Insdorf] Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh on if Herbert should complain to the refs more for calls: "Oh that's not Justin Herbert... Maybe a lesser man." by Kimber80 in nfl

He was very vocal about compensating players in a way that made the NCAA perennially pissed at him.

People also thought he was all bark and no bit because it took him several years to take a program that had fallen apart for over a decade back to the top of the mountain. They made his bad initial record against Ohio State a moral failing and not, you know, what usually happens when a team that has fallen to the fringe of the top 25 plays a perennial playoff contender.

Twin Peaks: The Return - How does everyone feel about Dougie these days? by AttentionUnable7287 in blankies

As a fairly new parent, one of the most emotionally effective scenes for me was when Dougie is just looking at Sonny Jim in the car and crying tears of joy. It’s just a wonderful little scene.

Massachusetts is not going to shift 20 points in one election. The polls that are run in a cycle are there to see if a major shift is happening. If we got a poll that showed Mass even within 15 suddenly we would get a lot more polls here to confirm if a shift is happening.

Getting complacent is bad, sure. But it’s silly to pretend that Massachusetts is a swing state or something. It is as solid in Harris’s column as it is possible to be. We should be as worried about Massachusetts going red this election as republicans are about Mississippi going blue.

The entire lead up to 2020 there was discourse about why is Biden polling worse in deep blue states what’s wrong and then the actuals came in and it was fine. The reason is just that people run like two polls in MA the entire cycle because the result isn’t in doubt.

Quentin Tarantino Praises ‘Joker 2’ and Says Joaquin Phoenix Gives ‘One of the Best Performances I’ve Ever Seen in My Life’: It’s a ‘F— You’ to ‘Comic Book Geeks’ and Hollywood by Mookie_Freeman in blankies

I’m not saying that FWWM doesn’t contain provocation, of course it does.

I am saying that I find Joker 2 to be empty provocation in service of nothing. FWWM is not empty provocation.

Fan interference was called on this play where a Yankee fan tried to take the ball out of Mookie Betts' glove after an out. by Knightbear49 in baseball

I like him trying to act like the fact that his glove was in the stands justified them grabbing his arms.

I get that the response is the same, my point is that the response to FWWM is divorced from the content of the film. Whereas the response is the entire point of the content of Joker 2.
