Youse guys wanna play stickball?

Absolutely

Global warming' gave us that senator with the snowball

In an ideal world we wouldn't have to moderate accurate terms to prevent bad actors making dumb arguments

But this is clearly not an ideal world

Those clowns in Congress have done it again. What a bunch of clowns

Individual politicians and political parties routinely use count a vote as approval. In that way, if no other, voting does serve to support the existing system.

I don't think that tracks.

The highest turnout in any US election since 1908 was 62% in 2020, and at no point has a party won an election and been like 'look at all the people who didn't vote, I guess we don't have a mandate to govern'

Parties win elections and govern in power with less than 50% of voters backing them all the time, it's literally the standard. A low turnout will not change the way any party acts once in power.

I love them all*, but the IT Crowd is at the top for me

(*Graham Linehan is a prick)

I never actually watched dead set, but I remember it was airing at the same time I had a Media Studies project at school about zombies so the tutors kept bringing it up

Jack was Biz Markie's only young friend

same thing lol

Except for immigrants, queer people, black people, Muslim people, and women. For those groups it is decidedly not the fucking same

But because the Democrats aren't going to reverse capitalism and it doesn't affect you personally, who gives a shit, right? Fuck everybody apart from you

God said to Abraham 'Kill me a son'

Abe said 'Man you must be putting me on'

God said 'No'

Abe said 'What'

God said 'You can do what you want Abe, but the next time you see me comin you better run'

• The Bible

This book was funded and published by Uri Tzafon, an extremist fringe group that even the Israeli Government distance themselves from

I'm not pointing this out to try and downplay the genocide in Gaza or ignore illegal settlements, and of course there's a discussion to be had about the extent to which small radical factions can reflect and influence the political mainstream

But its a bit disingenuous to present this as just an 'Israeli Children's Book'. It's kinda like calling Nick Fuentes an 'American Journalist'

For anyone who is politically involved and knows the issues, Walz won by having better and more consistent positions; as well as Vance saying some scary fascist level shit

But I fear that most undecided voters aren't in that camp, and for those people Vance did well just be being coherent and vaguely normal.

Vance lied and twisted the truth a bunch, but if you just tuned in without knowing all the facts and context, that wasn't necessarily clear

For me though I was pleasantly surprised by Walz actually making a moral case for immigration, you don't see that nearly enough

Coppola was heavily involved in the production of the film where some of the abuse happened, and during the fallout he allegedly tried to sue the victim of the abuse for breach of contract
