How do you say she’s in track to lose. All the data I’ve seen makes me optimistic.

Yeah, there are a few of those comedians who I believe will prove timeless. Carlin’s and Pryor’s works in particular will never completely lose relevance because they’re such fundamental takes on humanity.

“Just think how stupid the average person is… then realize that 50% of people are dumber than that!”

Paraphrased from George Carlin.

I’m not sure if “middleeasteye.net” is a reliable source…

Yeah, the hypocrisy is fucking rife.

I had a similar feeling when they had that Field of Dreams game several in 2021 b/w the ChiSox and Yankees. Kevin fucking Costner walks his ass out to the mound and gives a lovely speech, and didn’t say one god damned word about Shoeless Joe Jackson.

He absolutely has. I think that’s part of why we haven’t seen him in a ton of things in the last 15 or so years. I know he went through a phase where he primarily filled his time with painting, and he had a giant warehouse studio where he’d spend gobs of his time pouring himself into stretched canvass. Maybe this is just his next step…

Maybe fun? That passage reads to me that he’s at the point of his career where he can pick and choose his work, and will only agree to it if he can goof off doing whatever the fuck he wants.

I do enjoy every opportunity I get where my brain gets to say the words quod erat demonstrandum.

Holy shit… totally not the response I expected either.

But to my point, I know a handful of career civil servants and they’re pretty passionate about their roles and try to do a good job… unlike fucking lunatics like Canon who are supposed to be apolitical but politics dictate every action they take…

Eh… large swaths of government try to be efficient… it just keeps tripping over its own feet and all the red tape lying around.

Seems to me like the majority of this nonsense is more typical of the portion of the government that employs by appointment.

They have…. That’s why there is a usual trend of bolder actions taken by second term presidents because they’re no longer eligible for candidacy for President.

That’s also why we can’t fuck about with a second Trump term.

I didn’t say he was a great president. I said he was the greatest man elected president.

I shouldn’t have been so cryptic… I was speaking more to his decency as a human.
