  1. AH YES! CHICKEN P!
  2. Wrong again, libtard
  3. What does the bot say? This feels like long par 4 Wordle 1,560 5/6 ⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟨 🟨🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  4. Considering your sub-@Helobious performance on this thread, I now have a reason to think he may go down.
  5. FT: Accenture to ‘exit’ staff that cannot be retrained for age of AI
  6. The dream of the 90s is alive in Palm Beach: IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME

  8. What bible is this dude reading it sounds wild as fuck!
  9. We had that at my school in ‘92. The Sophomore girl who bought me, a very talented dancer who ended up on Broadway, absolutely loathed the senior girl I had been dating on and off. I have to say it was a good day.
  10. Until I read Karen Armstrong’s History of God I never fully understood how much foundational Roman Catholic theology and Christology was shaped by the effort to conform their understanding of God with the pagan Greek philosophical tradition. Which is … very strange and produces some very weird and frankly pointless debates.
  11. That song is such a banger. Ironically, Joni Mitchell was not at Woodstock, because her manager thought it would be better for her career to go on Dick Cavett that day.

  13. 2024 was going to be a long shot due to Biden’s insistence on seeking a second term no matter how it went. However, I’ll always believe that once Biden withdrew, the spectacle, narrative drama and attention of a contested convention (even kayfabe!) would have presented whoever secured the nomination with the best opportunity to win the general election.
  14. quite right.
  15. If you’re arguing for the attitudinal model or the strategic model that’s one thing, but I don’t believe history supports the idea that Supreme Court justices or Federal bench were always mostly partisan actors or mostly advocates for particular interests, prior to the dominance of the Federalist Society. I’m not going to argue with you about matters of law, but in terms of history this is a recent phenomenon. That’s why I was ringing the fire alarm about Leegin two decades back when @washparkhorn was still caping for citizens united. If you knew anything about how the commercial economy operated, Leegin was a holy shit moment.
  16. Like I was saying about Wesley Hunt- he’s going to get in, he will almost certainly be the nominee, and he’s even worse than Paxton because he doesn’t have Paxton’s baggage.
  17. No samosa for them. What a fucking asshole.
  18. My second attempt, in blackjack terms, was to hit soft 18 with the house showing 6 because I thought I felt 3 in the shoe and ended up having to grind out a push Wordle 1,557 4/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  19. Look, institutions come and go but a robust and equitable legal system is the only one we absolutely have to have in a constitutional Republic, and it seems to be failing. There are four basic historical paths from this point, listed below. Two are violent, two are not, and it’s likely we won’t know which one we are on for 10-15 more years. 1) The Republic Holds: slow but successful return to norms via the institutions and the ballot box. Precedent- Italy, but they weren’t nearly as far down the path. 2) Chaos: some flavor of civil war (cold or hot) or armed domestic conflict(s) eventually leading to a new order. Precedent- lots 3) America, Humbled: lose a war with an ascendant power. Precedent- Germany 4) SQPR: terminal but mostly peaceful decline and eventual collapse. Precedent - Rome The first path would be the most likely but requires the American elite to awaken from our hubris and recognize where we are. The second and third path strip us of it at a devastating human cost. The fourth lets us keep our hubris but we lose the Republic, even if we retain its costume.
  20. The first term was our Berlusconi era. This is our Mugabe era.
  21. Pretty sure he drowned staring into the rain, like a guinea hen. Mind his little fontanelle!
  22. My guy, I used to own/run a digital marketing agency. Let me repeat this sentence again, except in all caps so you can understand it: ALL ALGORITHMS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ARE INHERENTLY EXPLOITABLE. Oh no! They aren’t seen unless validated by engagement? Lol ok this is AOC, responding to Florida congressman Randy Fine (R). It has 12M views, 313K likes and 6.3K comments, mostly morons And according to you this is … either bad for Democrats or somehow not actually being seen, it’s not clear. The first sentence here is true, because they know the second sentence is false, even if you don’t. AOC gets it. Newsom’s Zoomers get it.
  23. Compared to what? That’s like saying Pete B going on Fox or democrats running ads on Fox News doesn’t move the needle. All algorithms of social media are inherently exploitable. Optimizing for the algorithm is the standard business of digital marketers every single day across all platforms. Withdrawing from Twitter, and every single argument I have ever heard for withdrawing from Twitter is just packaging up what leftists are really doing, which is taking their ball and their bat and going home because they don’t think it’s fair. It’s essentially what the Clinton campaign did when they decided to only devote resources to areas where they already had good numbers and infrastructure in 2016 (and 2008) So the real question is whether it’s worth it. I think the stakes are simply too high and the opportunity cost is too low to withdraw from the venue, but if you have the luxury to lose without consequences, bully for you.
