  1. If Biden announced a plan to combat AI, 40% of the population would immediately pledge undying loyalty to the new AI overlords.
  2. The juxtaposition between “Texas will not be able to handle the rabid fanbases and pure hatred in the SEC” and “why doesn’t Texas wanna be our bff?!?” will always be funny to me.
  3. The Astros have been a .500 team over the last 180ish games. This is who we are. And it doesn't matter where we stand in the AL, we will need to win our division. And right now we are getting smoked in the standings by two teams who have underachieved almost as much as we have.
  4. Meanwhile, 42% of America firmly believes that the Democrats are the ones corrupting the legal process, and will claim unfairness or overreach if there is any attempt to investigate/prosecute these obviously illegal dealings.
  5. All this "SCOTUS will overturn talk" is primarily to provide cover for sitting congressmen to endorse a convicted felon. I was wondering why so many of them made some kind of "I fully anticipate it being overturned on appeal" remark immediately after the ruling, and then realized it's the fool-proof response to "why are you supporting a felon?" They know the appeals process will last past the election, so there's no downside regardless of whether or not they really believe it will be appealed. And bonus points for them: this Calvinball SCOTUS might figure out some way to make them correct.
  6. It's honestly jarring to go back and listen to his 2016 speeches. The tone isn't much different, but the content has changed dramatically. Back then the underlying message of every speech was "everything sucks for you, here's why I'm the only one who can fix it." It's obviously bullshit, but there's at least some kind of campaigning for votes in there. Now, it is literally just "here's all the bad things happening to me and why you need to let me get revenge." That's it. Occasionally he'll throw in a "and if they do it to me, they can do it to you" to loosely relate it to the common person, but it is remarkable how little campaigning he is doing. It's just whining.
  7. I know logic left the debate long ago, but I'd like just one of these fuckers to be asked if "you can be punished for using campaign funds and then lying about it to cover up fucking a porn star so that you win an election" is a more dangerous precedent than "you cannot be prosecuted if you are running for office"... because the latter sure appears to be what many are arguing.
  8. *Athletic Director promotes his school's biggest rivalry game* SEC fans:
  9. To put it all in perspective, George Floyd was murdered THIS WEEK in 2020. A shit ton can and will happen between now and November.
  10. “Biden is no different than Trump when it comes to Israel!!!!!!”
  11. Don't think there's any question, and it worked exactly as he intended.
  12. Poll nerds will tell you to ignore crosstabs, then go on CNN and devote entire segments to them.
  13. Pretty much every good teacher could easily find work that pays better and with less stress outside the classroom. The current government of Texas is basically begging this to happen.
  14. Forming a "maternal mortality committee" ... definite sign of a healthy country.
  15. Baseball version of:
  16. Hell of a time to have my oldest just finish kindergarten.
