    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I'd argue Desantis is worse. He's actually somewhat competent at enacting his agenda. Trump just bumbled his way through his presidency like he does just about everything else and simply relied on his odd anti-charisma to convince his underlings to do his bidding(which, thankfully, didn't...

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    Also patents do have a lifetime. It's a delaying tactic more than anything. I think we are starting to see the results of that now as more and more of said patents expire and enter the public domain.

    The MST3K thread by Gizmonics

    Heck, I was surprised to see a "The Critic" riff of all things in this episode "BUY MY BOOK!". The transformer sound they made when Gamera was pulling in his extremities was a nice touch, too. It has to be my favorite episode of the season and not just because my backer credit showed up in...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Hopefully deSantis meets an untimely end when an alligator wanders onto the governor's mansion's grounds.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    That's hot even for the American South. If the Tories are so unconcerned, let them spend 8 hours outside in those temps. See if they change their tunes then(assuming they survive it, that is. Heat stroke is no joke)

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    Heck, Cricket is owned by ATT, Metro PCS is owned by T-Mobile and Boost was owned by Sprint(until it was sold to Dish Network before Sprint's merger with T-Mobile). I'm pretty sure Xfinity mobile's very existence was a compromise between Comcast and Verizon. Comcast was considering getting...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Pretty sure he's been saying that since the original ruling, just a bit more ominous given the current courts recent rulings.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    I thought the anti-catholic rules applied to the monarchy, not the Prime Minister, but either way it's a stupid rule from a bygone age.

    Shinzo Abe Assassinated

    If you think any country of sufficient population doesn't have it's share of nutjobs, you are sadly quite naive. Japan was also extremely xenophobic until recently(still has a strong undercurrent to this day, though at least they aren't banning foreigners outright, like they were known to do...

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    Yea, the big telecoms HATE competition with a passion. They successfully blocked a municipal ISP out of Chattanooga from expanding outside of city limits based on trumped up claims of 'unfair competition' simply because the ISP was technically owned by the City of Chattanooga. They would also...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Beef has a lot of external factors involved in price. A lot of the current increases in beef prices can be linked to environmental factors(aka droughts in the midwest/west). We are at fault for the increases, but it's actually NOT a direct result of consolidation in this case, it's because...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Actually, they will ban CERTAIN Christian denominations, if they get the chance. The no state religion thing was put in the constitution BECAUSE the European powers of the time would go after whatever Christian denomination they felt was at odds withe the state church.

    The MST3K thread by Gizmonics

    Kinda wondering if the Holiday Special will count as the second episode or if we're getting a second full episode with Joel.

    Police behaving badly

    Probably not a direct link, but extreme stressors CAN increase the chances of a miscarriage, especially in women genetically susceptible to them. There's also the fact that such stress can lead to a sudden surge in various hormones and if such a release is triggered at certain points in fetal...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Typical of modern republicans, though. Accuse the other side of what you, yourself are doing.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Oh, trust me, I know. I lived for decades in TN. There ARE states where it can make a difference. Places like Pennsylvania, Virginia, the southwestern states(excluding Utah) and possibly Georgia. Heck Texas might even be in that list. Might even be enough to keep the Court from eviscerating...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Given the supreme courts current actions, local and state elections are more important than ever. The only way to stem the tide is to retake state legislatures and governorships. They want to strip the people of their ability to choose electors and give it to the state legislatures, let's make...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Probably a lot. I tend to let people assume I'm a Christian Republican when I'm actually a left-leaning agnostic. Frigin' coping skill I learned while in school back in the late 80's to mid 90's

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    It's not over yet, but things are looking grim, especially if you live in a red state(Kinda glad I no longer live in Tennessee a this point).

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Or at least I hope we learned it. History and repeating and all that.
