This take is baffling. People were loudly saying this in 2016, large chunks of lefty dissenters maintained it was just a scare tactic, and then the lesser evil lost and the greater evil won and this is the direct result of that. The squishy liberal mind was proven emphatically correct

I walked past the door to our roof deck and saw a 100 foot tall baseball player made of light in the sky and DEFINITELY thought my brain was dying. It was a Phillies drone show which is cool too

One thing I love about my company is that we put the news/scoop/interesting stuff right at the top of the piece. I’m a Puck subscriber but their habit of writing longass Thackeray ledes before the paywalled news drives me nuts.

I never knew that George Lucas demanded more shots be added to Empire Strikes Back AFTER the film was already in some theaters. He felt the epilogue didn’t make it clear where Luke and Lando’s ships were in relation to each other, they spent 3 weeks scrambling to shoot the new stuff 1/

there really is a painful cycle of newly politically engaged people getting excited about revolutionary thinking, realizing it doesn’t work like that, and then either becoming cranks or normal liberals. while a lot of the annoying twitter libs were wrong about dirtbag leftists, plenty were right.

Just my guess: the Chevron decision will go exactly how conservatives want it, but be buried by the same-day Trump immunity decision. The justices aren't stupid. They know how news cycles work and they've done this before. You'll hear about Chevron in a John Oliver segment in a few months.

We've got a good batch of early ratings on Goodreads and this score is about as high as you can get on that platform. And I promise we didn't only send the early copies to friends! I personally sent copies to my biggest haters! Up for preorder now in all formats, YES INCLUDING AUDIO.

If like me you have no memory whatsoever of what happened in Season 1 of House of the Dragon, this video is the best recap I've found so far. There's a kind of annoying in-video ad read but I can't get too mad, it's the same way podcasts pay the bills:

When people start saying things like "we never used to have all these new diseases and allergies and conditions they've made up now", it always makes me think about how a LOT of pre-20th century literature was based around the idea that people keep getting sick and dying and nobody really knew why.
