I think you’ll only read pans of this movie. I recommend one that makes the very important point that X-Men: The Last Stand is straight ass.

My dad's got one poker buddy who's like 100 and he is PISSED.
Not to get all stentorian, but both my grandfathers served in WW2, and one of them died from its lingering sting decades later (chronic injuries). An ocean of fucking blood shed, the highest price imaginable paid to create a world where this shit didn’t happen, undone for *nothing*. Fuck you!

The problem is making Windows 11 more user friendly is at odds with #$MSFT goals of foisting copilot, edge, bing, onedrive, and 365 subscriptions on their users even though we just want to play games or do business.

Really should have been the end of fetishizing bipartisanship when the big bailout bill they did before Obamacare got zero GOP votes.
dems refusing to dump the filibuster in 2009 despite massive pressure from their base feels like the first in a string of many times over the coming 17 years that the activist base would be right and dem electeds would be wrong, and every time it was to disastrous results
reading about how they basically had to jerry rig it together after Ted Kennedy tied via reconciliation explains so much

I go back and forth on the role of prison in our society, but if John Yoo suffered any consequences for writing the torture memos he might not be promoting war crimes in the Atlantic.
International law no longer serves as an instrument of global stability—and the U.S. should use this moment to argue for a different approach to the rules of war, John Yoo argues.

we are innovating in the field of constitutional violations, folks. the sixth amendment was feeling left out.
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

you have to be one of the biggest morons in the world to get rugpulled by Eric Adams in 2026. these idiots deserve it and it's funny to see them parted from their money so easily, but personally i don't think this should be legal and that Adams should be put in prison. i'm just a softie like that.
