I am a minority on this one and in truth The Expanse is the exception to the rule of bad live action adaptations these days

Literally every scifi or fantasy novel should be animated rather than having a bunch of live action with crap CGI

Stop: making live action adaptations of cartoons Start: defaulting to animated adaptations of novels

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Trump was president and is a natural magnet for attention. I don’t think it’s possible to make him more of a known quantity than he is

Trump is a brain boiled lunatic (among other things that make him unfit) but that’s sadly not news and already baked in to everyone’s existing stances towards him

Given the weight of how he performed and the reporting and everything else, your take is that his team is just not setting him up for success and reacting poorly to untrue rumors?

Don’t you think if he was really able to perform at his old level they’d do something other than wait over a week to put out a pre-recorded interview? Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Cathy, last week some of Biden’s own aides—apparently as a defense—said he functioned well from 10 to 4. The above report isn’t exactly out of nowhere

"'Why does anyone vote?' The answer cannot be that we believe that by doing so, we will influence the outcome of an election." I thought that myself 25 years ago, and thought I knew better than people who wrote for the New York Times. Today the Times is printing that idea, but I now know it's wrong.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

Every dude like this: “society is created to stop freeriding.” “Why vote when your individual vote is just a small part of the whole?”

Might as well say “why I defect every coordination game and you should too. Doing your part in collective action is pointless.”
