Political science prof at a small university, but it won’t take long to realize the views in my posts are my own.
But we must keep him to preserve Chuck Schumer’s power! Think of where we would be if we lost our stalwart Senate leader! 😱

This violates every principle of strict construction. Our originalist justices are likely to issue an emergency stay.

Aww. Saying that it’s private but it directed me to other clips of her speaking so passionately about AIDS. Love her.

Our malicious legislature is hellbent on destroying public education generally and liberal arts specifically, and they abuse our flagship state university to cover their destructive agenda. Too bad the clowns who run UNC-CH are happy to oblige.
Also, shout out to the great reporting at The Assembly!

This was on TCM the other day as they were doing a Terry Gilliam appreciation day. So depressingly prescient.

The Martindales weren’t going to let such a banger be a one-and-done.

The problem is that we have a Lions fan in the family so our mid-day meal plan is a bit upended.

I like that movie for the most part despite not typically liking Bette Davis, but the Durante storyline jumps the shark.

Same. The hostility is surprising to me. I’ll take it into consideration.

I use it online when there are character limits. I guess I’m naive because this is the first I’ve ever seen it as bad form, but my goodness, this thread is teaching me something.

I am open.
I am learning.

Adding this to my Comparative Political Economy lecture. Thanks!

The “actual vampire” quip discredits the point. A former Gov who had broad popular support and was endorsed, or at least not repudiated, by the NY political class was not an actual vampire. As useless as “Trump didn’t win; Clinton/Harris ran a bad campaign.”
Poor form to fit his win into this frame

The Simpsons had an episode where Lisa has a crush on Nelson and at some point she kinda has a “what am I even doing here?” moment.

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did, I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
Leave you as you are
If he felt he had to direct you
Then direct you to the right side of history.
