There was even a rather infamous scene in a movie about nerds where one of them dressed as Vader.

I'd love to know what the response was to the obvious follow-up of "Ok, so why not make them do it?"

Good. We can all agree that the comms team for the White House is trash. They should immediately fire all of these pampered Ivy grads and grab some SEC and B1G talent so someone in that building knows how to talk shit.

One of the hidden benefits to living rurally in a fly-over state is that I'll most likely never see one of these anywhere near my house. The most die-hard Elon fan out here still knows what a truck is, and they know that isn't it.

The power of being middle-aged is being wired by broadcast seasons that last for 6 months, so we watched a dozen shows at a time.

White plastic bucket until dentists sent me home with emesis basins after getting some teeth pulled before I got my braces. Went back to the bucket after a more forceful eruption caused a horrid mess involving peas and carrots.

If the (highly legitimate)question is “do we want a president with a functional brain” then let’s have that debate. we might want to apply scrutiny to both candidate equally, and not grade one in particular on a MASSIVE curve

Or, what if the editors think that's correct, so don't see any need to support it? There sure does seem like a lot of evidence to support my theory, just by looking at the majority of Bret Stephens' articles

Crazy how many people in media can't make that connection. Or I guess it's probably more accurate that they WON'T make that connection.

Gotta love that it's a tech reporter just deciding that the lawyers are in no position to explain to him the difference between state and federal court.

It's hilarious to me that apparently the reaction amongst "elite Dems" when they're upset is to start texting a reporter at Rolling Stone.

Isn't centrism just code for "the opinions held by the majority of anchors on cable news, the pundits they talk to and the editors that hand them column inches" at this point?

Not just at the rest stops here either. I drove past one every day for months 40 minutes north of Indianapolis that was on top of barn so you could see it from the main entrance of a rural high school.

You shouldn't assume everyone has a subscription to every outlet, so their only interaction with your work might be through headlines. And if headlines are written to garner strong emotion, can you really be surprised when they work?

The part about the "friend at NASA" is probably true. My cousin, a rocket scientist, got removed from his very important position on a mission because he wouldn't stop proselytizing his VERY reactionary brand of religion. Lets all remember that genius and madness get confused all the time.

I got to the point where the author wasn't sure of Trump's position on a national abortion ban and had to stop before I threw my laptop across the room.

This is also a really good map to explain how much money farmers actually make. Because, as you'll notice, there are no red counties in the corn belt from Indiana to Iowa.

Too many people only understand farming as something done mostly with large machines. And sure, for corn and grains, that's true. But for nearly everything else, it is a labor-intensive process that wears bodies out at a young age.

I think some of us remember stuff like this and genuinely can't understand the distinction that a lot of political writers try to make between MAGA and the GOP we all grew up with.
They haven't changed. Society has, but they haven't.

Watching this the weekend it came out was an experience that I'll never be able to replicate. My date absolutely lost it at the final scene. Shaking and crying for 20 minutes in the parking lot. Hard to explain now, but it absolutely made sense in the moment.
