He's certainly a capable actor. I've never understood what he wants to be though. He takes trash roles in badly written big budget projects then tries to method act his ass off like he's Daniel Day Lewis.

Anyone who wanted to serve America would be seen as an existential threat by everyone else in that crime org and immediately destroyed and threatened into silence.

I don't really mind weird attempts to make Tron a thing every decade or 2. The thing that bothers me about this one is that big studios apparently still believe Jared Leto is a true A lost movie star who puts asses in seats.

He just isn't. He never has been but Disney and others all think he is.

And when I say everyone I mean tens of thousands of people. For us to ever come to terms with this will require a lot of very unpleasant and expensive choices.

And no years of investigations. Everyone sits in prison cells while we sort out who deserves to be released of any

If we do an invasion and attempted regime change in Venezuela I guarantee this opposition leader will be frozen out or killed when we install our own dictator. I wasn't 100 percent certain of that before but now Trump knows about and HATES Maduro's democratic opposition.

Does Trump actually think we have monopolies on two rare earth minerals for every one that China has?

Wasn't the whole point of this rant that China controls a monopoly on most of them?

And what friendly six months of trade with china is he talking about? Is this just a panic tantrum?

It will be very funny if Trump and the GOP ban the Nobel Committee from America and make it illegal for Americans to receive Nobels then create the MAGA Prize committee as an maga version.

every dollar you spend for a subscription to a major publication like the times or wapo is better spent on propublica and local and independent media

It's a weird one because in theory it should be great to have on in the background but unfortunately the lighting requires you to have low lighting or lights off to fully enjoy it.

Baldur's Gate 3 was the horniest adult game I've ever played and these gamergate choads hated that game too because what they want is a game made for 12 year old racist jerkoffs.

The second one was extremely visually cool, had two extremely attractive costars and was secretly a big budget 2 hour Daft Punk music video.

I don't think the original matters much.

Mr. Drake, perhaps you should consider doing your own "Drake is a pedophile" song. They appear to be a very popular genre right now.

Yeah, I think the Peace Prize is generally a good award that elevates good causes and the people leading them. It's just that a certain percentage of Peace Prizes get diverted as weird popularity awards to internationally famous politicians who are popular at the moment of the award.

I'm not even really a Johnny Cash music fan but his whole thing is that he is extremely cool.

Woj @swojack.bsky.social · 2d

Is there actually a person who thinks Johnny Cash is "uncool" or does this author just not know the who Johnny Cash is so they assume nobody else does either?

Where does money for something like this come from? Shouldn't it be frozen with all the other remaining appropriations money?

If Treasury can just print 20 billion and give it to Argentina why can't they just print 20 trillion and give it to GOP households? What's does Congress actually get to do?

Woj @swojack.bsky.social · 2d

Matty is all bad faith. He pretends he has no personal dog in these fights and it's all about choosing what's "popular" but whenever public opinion is extremely in Dem favor on a culture war issue he demands Dems support the right wing unpopular position anyway.

Trump doing regime change in Israel because he desperately wants a Nobel Peace Prize as some sort of "Pearly Gates VIP Access" pass would be fucking hilarious.

LOL. Pedocon theory is so damn strong that even when a Dem is a Pedo it turns out the Dem isn't actually a Dem.

Every time it's given to a famous world leader it's usually an embarrassing joke but usually when they give it to a random person who did something good for society I think it's sort of legit.

Like the anti landmine person was a good one way back.

Unfortunately I think Sherrill is part of the centrist wing of the Dems so her entire political platform is telling dem voters that they are the problem while bragging about all the bipartisanship cards she's collected.

Do a lot of people actually believe that poor developing countries are notable free trade and 0 industry protectionism economies?

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.

Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.
