...All of the above! 😃 Not like he sees any reason to distinguish between any individuals beyond the four categories he lumps everyone into: "me", "exists for my benefit", and "does not exist for my benefit and therefore has no valid reason to exist."

Or someone who was egged on to do it by Alex Jones. Then it's podcastic terrorism.

Any time someone is selective about what forms of casual bigotry they're OK with, I suspect it comes down to which minorities they know personally.

Thanks for reminding me that when Trump dies, they'll be able to replace him with a robot and even with our comparatively primitive technology, no one will be able to tell the difference.

Man, I had no idea Bob the Angry Flower was still around.

I think the best way to deal with it is to ignore it and answer the moderator's question as if she was in an interview rather than a debate. And reply to any prompts of "Vice President, your response?" with "I already answered the question. Did he? It didn't sound like it to me."

The trope of cultists summoning an evil god into existence exists for a reason.

Actually, one of the few laws governing political advertising in the US is that TV channels can't pick and choose which ones they air, as long as the candidates and organizations behind them are willing to pay. In fact, they might even be required to bump regular ads off the list to make room...

Fistbumps have become a lot more common post-COVID, for sanitary reasons. As easy as it would be to paint Vance as being out of touch (and probably a COVID denialist), they reached out at the exact same time and then she just kind of ragequit rather than wait the one second it took him to catch on.

Ah yes, coalitions. The parliamentary system's answer to the Electoral College. Congratulations, you won but not by enough and now you have to work with people you hate to decide who actually gets to be in charge. Or, you won but not by enough and you have no one who wants to work with you so...

I mean, can we take his money before we kick him out?

And Trump is probably the one person dumb enough to fall for it.

Maybe Paladin is a Russian agent, hired to post cynical takes and discourage people. Remember how it turned out Russia had paid people to go on Tumblr and pose as social justice types, poisoning the discourse with anger and divisiveness? I do.

I like that it's just "A Minecraft Movie." Bill Murray would approve. No thoughts aside from that, except that Mojang is probably questioning their decision to give the sheep and llamas derp eyes right about now.

Don't get me wrong, I love the idea in theory. I remember ages ago wishing that my web browser, which I knew was already storing a local cache of the full text of every webpage I visited for some reason, could just let me do essentially a Google search of just that data, on demand, so I wouldn't...

"If you're not with us, you're against us" continues to be the rallying cry of tyrants the world over.

This video explains what went wrong pretty well. They didn't even have a finished script before they started shooting, apparently expecting a whole movie to emerge miraculously out of the editing room. Funnily enough it reminds me a lot of modern game development, where they'll just wing it...

No, that's absolutely the vibe I was going for.

Yeah, how much longer until one of his rockets blows up and kills the billionaire celebrity guest star du jour and the family sues him and all of his companies out of existence?
