What are we even doing here?

People don't "just get MRIs" and even raising the prospect of a third term reveals an overt contempt for the Constitution.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 10h

President Trump said he had an MRI earlier this month, telling reporters Monday that the results had been “perfect” but declining to say why his doctors had ordered the scan. He also reiterated that he was interested in serving a third term.

Trump Says a Recent M.R.I. Scan Was ‘Perfect,’ and He’d ‘Love’ a Third Term

President Trump made the comments on the second day of his trip to Asia. The Constitution limits presidents to two terms, but Mr. Trump has suggested he might try to circumvent it.

I will never understand where this hate for candy corn suddenly came from and overtook the zeitgeist. I swear I never heard a negative word about candy corn until like 2015. I like candy corn fine. It's nothing special, but damn, it's not like it's black licorice.

He's got to find any excuse just in case they lose. Because a $2 billion roster doesn't allow for much wiggle room. Gotta blame someone.

Mamdani did this without tacking to the center by accepting republican framing and throwing marginalized people under the bus or even apologizing for being socialist; something that party operatives who actually want to win might learn from.

THE CITY @thecity.nyc · 14h

Across the city, more than 164,000 New Yorkers flocked to the polls this weekend for the first two days of early voting, according to the Board of Election, a staggering turnout that nearly matches the entire early voting count in 2021.

I'll probably do the same, but I will say this: I remember when the James/Wade/Bosh Heat first formed & it took a couple of months before even they figured out how to win together. Even then, they had a midseason swoon.

There's no question Ime is a great coach, and the Rockets are super talented.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

There's a lot of unknown factors here. Is it local? Do you want to reconnect with anyone? Was high school traumatic? Do you have a significant other you'd like to introduce to anyone? Just to name a few.

All told, if it's worth the trouble to you, then yes, do it.

NEW EPISODE: Once again Trump has targeted his political opponents for prosecution. While the legacy media ignores it, too many legal pundits are looking for ways to dismiss or normalize it. I will never accept it and neither should you.

I mean, I'll take a win. But the 49ers were so depleted by injury, it's basically on par with beating the Ravens a few weeks back.

Bedlam continues here in Chicago as we do our best to fight off an attack on our city by our own government. ICE/CBP continues to defy court orders by tossing year gas canisters at protestors and arresting people based on racial profiling, criminal or not. This has to end!

I know it’s getting tougher and tougher to differentiate AI from real video, but the public doesn’t have a massive intelligence complex to find out for us. Either he was briefed on it and lied or he didn’t care to be briefed on it so he can continue to say he doesn’t know things

Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

"The utmost refined ugliness has become the beauty ideal"

Nazis blamed the "weak" Weimar leaders for promoting "so-called modern art," "so-called" so much they called it Entartete

Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

Frodo wakes. ‘Where am I?’

‘In the House of Elrond. It is ten o’clock in the morning. The morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’

‘Gandalf!’

‘Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’
