  1. I’m just so over all this. It’s like a breakup, a week ago I was sad and distraught and trying to save the relationship. Now I’m just like either go to therapy and let’s commit to work this out or move out and let me move past this and into a loving relationship. The worse case scenario now is this dragging on in purgatory and it only hurting Biden and but ultImately nothing getting done or changed. It’s getting to to the level of Dallas Cowboys mismanagement of Free Agency bad.
  2. People would use a real personal email and not their spam email account to sign up? Never dawned on me. Do you people use your real email for coupons and services as well?
  3. Is this a dig at the man by calling him craven? or just a misforunate typo?
  4. I think Hillary is polling so well because enough people have remorse and regret for how 2016 went down and would like to redeem themselves in 2024 if she ran. It's actually an interesting thought (Hillary 2024). I wonder if she would even consider it though, given how awful she's been treated after 2016. The knee woudl have to really bend.
  5. That is so cringy. Can it be more infantalizing of an elderly person? I'd say ageism if it wasn't our own party doing this, apparently unironically.
  6. Are you under the impression that NASDAQ winning correlates with us winning somehow? Are you one of those trickle down economics guys? I mean I guess “yay for businesses!” “Hooray for nvidia!”
  7. Chiraq, ammirite? street stuff go down 63rd and 64th, right?
  8. This is why AI scares me. I cannot tell if this is legitimately real or not.
  9. I generally agree with all this except you don’t think Daemon has a personality?! He might not have a personality you like, but he’s absolutely got one in that he’s rebellious and defiant and moody and brooding and chip on his shoulder, who seems to enjoy war. If anyone didn’t have a personality it was his brother.
  10. And quite literally India (our ally and democracy in Asia) today. Like, this isn't just "bad optics you took a pic from 8 years ago when it was mildly excusable to a Putin friend." This was 7/8/2024. Their best friendmanship is disgusting. Russia ain't stopping. You are right.
  11. I thought the two lines that were super powerful this episode was: "I inherited 80 years of peace, I had to sue for peace blah blah blah to be sure, etc, but those who have misread my caution for weakness, it will be their undoing." and "People will die, tons of blood will flood our streets, dragons and fire and body parts, and someone will sit on the throne-- the actual intentions of the King died with him."
  12. Tesla shorts taking it in the shorts. I mean, how? How does this keep happening? It's like a roach who just won't die.
  13. There have been WNBA games this year to have higher ratings than regular season MLS and regular season NHL games. That to me is pretty impressive (and good). Now, is that because the "current product" which you have termed as "terrible and unpopular" has gotten better or is it because of Caitlin Clark? I think that is the current debate and I think it is probably circular. CC -> Better Product -> More popularity -> CC
  14. The tea was definitely in response to Ser Cristen Cole's many rendevzous, yes? I thought the witch and Daemon's scenes were very confusing as an illiteratti. He drank something to help him sleep and then fast forward to the middle of a meeting with a vassal lord. say whaaaaat
  15. The showrunner interview after the episode, "I think if we learn one thing, if you laugh at Aemond (the brothel humiliation last week), it will be bad for you".
  16. I was today years old when I learned that the WNBA commish was the former CEO of Deloitte. Great bonafides to run the WNBA in this unprecedented growth phase and not to squander it.

    Bronny James

    I think what will happen is Bronny plays a few games wtih his old man, makes history, fuflills a bucket list for LeBron, then LeBron will hide him in the G-league until Bronny "retires" due to re-complication of his heart and health issues. No chance LeBron wants his son bieng riducled for being ridiculously outclassed by the last man on the bench of every NBA team and embarrassed. No father wants that for his son.
  18. Well said. I think we often forget that we are all college educated adults of above average means and who are well informed. That makes us, what, the top 10% of the citizenry? Think of the dumbest person you know, cut his IQ in half and then copy and paste that guy 200 million times and you have half the electorate.
  19. GLad that the far right nazi RN's lost, but Macron's centrist party was the real loser here (to the left's amazing and astonishing win). Centrists lost a third of their seats in a referendum against Macron. He's basically a lame-duck president for 3 years now until his term ends in 2027. This was interesting too, France’s former president François Hollandewon a seat with the left-leaning coalition group.
  20. Biden is the only one that can win 120 days until the election. This is quite literally the worst case scenario unfolding before our eyes. Too late to get a real contender who can beat Trump and not late enough that Biden cratered and has deteriorated in front of the electorates eyes 4 months too early. It’s post July 4th of an election year- It’s no man’s land.
  21. Honestly, rewatching some clips today, if Biden's voice wasn't hoarse, I think it's less of a story. The hoarseness made him appear weaker and feeble, but if you have listened to any of his other speeches, his non-sick voice coupled with his talking points nobody was freaking out. He needs to go on this interview, put some bass in his voice, and be definitive and strong and energized. We got this. I mean. The fate of the democracy hangs in the balance, I'm sure ABC powers that be knows this.
  22. If you are all rooting for another disaster, you will be sorely disappointed. From what I can tell, this won't be live. There will be a chance to cut out anything absolutely egregious and everything else will work itself out. Everyone chill.
  23. She was at the BET awards and doing skits with a very strong GOTV message, making sure everyone knows how important this all is, if they aren't clued in or necessarily engaged politically.
  24. July 4th on all the party boats:
