Is the risk that it would turn out like this why some leftists are surprisingly pro-Biden staying in?

It's so tragic how Yad Vashem has been turned into one big pro-Israel propaganda tour, up to and including using the genocide it memorializes to justify doing the same thing to others. Never again means never again for anyone!

Does Ivan have this same "nothing matters, other historical events happen later after these people are all dead" problem with historical fiction too?

Right you were being unselfish by putting yourself through pain for the happiness of others, whereas the selfish (though of course understandable & I say acceptable) move would have been to prioritize alleviating your own pain over how that would make others feel

Yeah it helps put things in perspective to see it as equivalent to candy crush - just a slightly more productive way of filling time than a mindless game

Trump brings that organized crime savvy to the GOP conspiracy against democracy - "guys, we shouldn't just TELL people what awful things we're going to do, what are you thinking?"

Really goes to show that the post-Trump administration turn towards normalizing Republicans was driven by top down editorial policy from the right-wing owners and not the desire to maximize viewers or profits

This is so agonizing. Media and Biden playing a game of chicken where the cost of one of them not pulling back is a Trump victory - and it's already too late for the media to pull back, so we're just left waiting to see if Biden feels like sacrificing himself for the good of the country

The Times can't expected to refuse to talk to them but yes it would probably be better to spread out to other papers.

It's funny how the people who are anti-Biden are the ones who think he'll voluntarily step down for the good of the country while the people who are pro-Biden are the ones who think he's so selfish that he'd never do that and therefore we have to hold our noses and rally around him to keep Trump out

I don't see much issue in saying Biden should step down but then vigorously supporting him when he doesn't - that's the responsible thing if the reason for asking him to step down really is a desire to maximize Dem election chances

It's funny looking back at these Escape From New York style depictions of poor portions of inner cities being walled off. Turns out the big difference is we don't have derelict buildings lying around unused and instead have to ship the homeless off to purpose built prisons outside of town

When Granny gets transplanted into the real world does she keep the "author is on her side" superpower or does she just become the kind of person who's sure she's right regardless of the facts?

Haha that attitude is why those were not my favorite Discworld books. I get that in-universe she's right, but anyone resembling that in real life is just the worst
