The majors in Australia like to pretend that a ranked preference vote can be wasted, I imagine they're very jealous of the UK and US majors in that regard. We see the same explainers and Q&As posted about it here every election.

Holy shit. WWE uploaded the entire Hell In A Cell Mankind Taker match from 1998. You want to see a man get thrown off a 20 foot cage into a table? And then climb back up on top and get chokeslammed through the cage? Enjoy.

Very funny that the Times was so certain about the panic they were causing that they set up a little live update election-season scoreboard for it

Maybe they've been oddly gentle and accountable arguments so far? I'm a bit jealous tbh.

This awful Biden situation could’ve been avoided if the US had simply stayed under British rule and gradually transitioned to being an independent parliamentary democracy like Canada

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

To me, 'basically good' includes regard for the well-being of others. A whole lot of people don't have it, and it doesn't make much difference to me whether that's out of negligence instead of malice.

Count Binhead steps forward with a large rubber dong raised over his shoulder. Freeze frame. The opening riff of Roundabout plays.

Presently reading about the 2011 'alternative voting' referendum. Besmirching Australia's decades-long status quo as a dangerous or unpredictable experiment certainly has a clownish whiff to it.

Based on Feinstein, I think they just have a very high tolerance for positions of power being occupied by a tragic husk.

If I'm an ancient dude on a throne someone is openly planning to steal, I would bury that someone at sea and let the robed cabal fret about my fait accompli as much as they like.

Tried to run this maths myself only to realise Bouie blocked me six months ago for posting that photo of Data and Riker with a blunt. I thus have no choice but to endorse bitdizzy as the discourse+Mario Kart champion out of spite.

Feels very similar to the 'Two close men? Must be secret queer romance! Ship time!' and 'Men are so insecure, they think any intimacy with another man will look queer!' dyad to me. People reifying stilted, essentialist norms, while identifying as the progressive edge.

He wrote Strong Female Protagonist as well right? It never felt like a story in which only one kind of character got to have depth and personality.

Honestly she hopes she runs with this argument for so long that 'women are the real experts on men, from being around men so much' and 'it is wise to openly share men's intimate lives without consent' become unfashionable from mere association.

It is pretty interesting in retrospect that when Bernie ran I remember a lot of news people going “how can you be doing all this CLASS WAR stuff?” “How can you be dividing us along those lines?” and meanwhile their rich buddies were like “yeah about five years until crime becomes legal for us lol”

The last time people went to go protest a Supreme Court decision there was an immediate, bipartsan effort to use tax player dollars to put snipers on Samuel Alito's roof while our favorite pundits went "Brett Kavanaugh has a family :( :(. His daughter must be so scared :( :("

Feel like there was a Jon Stewart bit about the 'lizard people' voters, i.e. the ineradicable % of believers for any arbitrary statement. No statement or political position is so insane that you can't get at least 12% support in the right survey.
