  1. Great word for the extended family I’m seeing later today Wordle 1,480 4/6 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  2. Look at the big brains on Brad! I have no idea what people think now. I saw Inception when it came out, and I have no idea how anyone could have been “confused” when 80% of the dialogue is just characters explaining what’s happening while looking into the camera. I agree on the lack of depth, though. Elliot Page’s performance made Pinocchio seem like a real boy. Inception is by far his worst movie in my opinion, but agree that Oppenheimer is way overrated. Greta Gerwig was able to make Barbie into a sharp critique of feminism without preaching, but Christopher Nolan felt like he had to mansplain the moral complexity of BUILDING THE ATOMIC BOMB. Agreed. Look, Christopher Nolan is an exceptional filmmaker when he trusts the audience to understand or at least follow the story- ie Dunkirk, Dark Night, Momento, The Prestige. The Odyssey shares key elements with those stories AND the text shows how a narrative voice can blend with a voice of the main character. Im excited!
  3. I nearly lost my left eye at Camp Olympia /CSB
  4. Pretty similar, honestly
  5. That’s interesting. To me, and I mean this respectfully- I think what’s broken about the Democratic Party is fundamentally that the politics of representation have become more important to the ideological base than the politics of outcomes. Mamdani is most popular among the people who don’t need him to achieve results.
  6. This isn’t the thread for it, but there are camp people, who love camp, and people who go once and hate it, they aren’t camp people. People go to camp based on where their friends and families go, and consequently social networks and rivalries between camps developed based on the kind of people who go where. It’s a whole thing.
  7. Fuck everything Wordle 1,479 X/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩⬜🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩⬜
  8. So if haven’t been paying close enough attention to make an assessment, why are you arguing with people who have?
  9. That’s not responsive. This isn’t a trick or complex. This is a very straightforward yes/no question about your opinion. Again, do you think that the elected leadership at the statewide and Federal level in the aftermath of this tragedy has been adequate and appropriate?
  10. Cuomo is probably capable of achieving far more, but has disqualified himself and also wouldn’t achieve much for other reasons. So either way, incumbents and old people win, and kids get fucked. Mamdani is left as a default, as a fuck you to the Democratic party establishment.
  11. Jesus. Way to duck the question. Here’s where I’m at: Yep. Well there’s always next time. And the time after that, ad infinitum.
  12. Do you think that the elected leadership at the statewide and Federal level in the aftermath of this tragedy has been adequate and appropriate? Serious question.
  13. Indeed, but my problem with Mamdani is that despite the fact that he is the best bad option, his approach to affordability won’t produce affordability.
  14. The problem with the whole package (and we experienced this exact thing in Austin with the very similar Kathie Tovo-Ora Houston affordability approach) is that it: 1) treats affordability as a bottoms up problem rather than a middle out problem, and 2) doesn’t produce affordability It’s kind of the problem with ideology politics in general- voting for for how candidates talk about things rather than the probability that they will achieve things.
  15. Really impressed with you boys getting this one in 3. Wordle 1,478 4/6 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
  16. That’s news.
  17. To be clear I’m kidding, @utee94 seems like a pretty good guy. But the leadership failure happening in this crisis situation is both appalling and newsworthy in the context of this tragedy. It really doesn’t seem political in the normal red/blue sense of the word. and, to be clear, I haven’t considered myself a Democrat since November of 2016.
  18. @utee94 this you?
  19. I’m with him
  20. I honestly don’t think that’s true. I’m not going to praise Rick Perry but he’s a real person with core values and cares about outcomes. Greg Abbott has a hole inside he has tried to fill by getting to the next thing. They are different.
  21. I mean, if you look on Twitter there are a a few fundagelical influencers claiming that this storm, like recent hurricanes across the south, was caused by weather modification. As we all know, the only thing that can modify the weather is Jewish space lasers. In other words:
  22. A radical position? You mean the stuff that doesn’t get done because that’s not how stuff works or the stuff that does get done and doesn’t make a difference? @Captainant what you and the fanbois don’t seem to understand is that most of what Mamdani’s has proposed with housing policy is just repackaged baby boomer progressive orthodoxy, a mix of obstruction through stakeholder input, wishful thinking, and symbolic action. Explain please, how is more of the same radical? Other than how he talks and presents himself?
