Trump’s superpower has always been that he radiates an anti-gravitas field, such that anything he touches becomes seen as fundamentally unserious. This has allowed Trump to pursue wars, tyranny, and corruption of immense gravity, while everyone tries to avoid looking like they care too much.

Folks, thank you so much for making the Crows BackerKit campaign the 14th most-funded and 19th most-backed BackerKit campaign ever. More importantly, thank you for believing in this game, one that I love playing and making with awesome people.

When they eventually make a movie about this time, please don't put the male politicians in good suits. IMO, the ugly, low rent tailoring should be part of the story.

THE PREMISE IS THAT THE MUPPETS ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW CALLED THE MUPPET SHOW

DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

Gloria Steinem has passed away. Long ago, my parents used to force me to go to church each Sunday. One time the pastor made a comment about "people who were destroying America, like Carl Sagan and Gloria Steinem." I liked Carl Sagan. Gloria Steinem was new to me. I took it as a recommendation.

These stories don’t happen without Ossoff lighting the spark. This is what I have been arguing for almost 20 years.

According to CNN, Natalie Harp once jumped into the trunk of an SUV after getting into a screaming match with other Trump staffers after being denied a seat in the motorcade heading to a Trump trial appearance. www.cnn.com/2026/08/18/p...

Thinking how at the end of the Star Wars trilogy an entire galaxy celebrates the death of the emperor without a finger wagging coda where a sad-eyed long haired scold in bespoke clothing warns that this reduces everyone to the same level as the genocidal tyrant who got tossed into a laser shaft.

Like many people who have worked in politics for decades, I am baffled and upset to see candidates who say they are going to try to make things better defeating candidates who say they are trying to make it more or less like it was in the years before things tipped over into Oaf-Style Fascism.

Someone asked me what my poetry is about. I replied: “People.” They said: “That’s a broad subject.” I said: “Not really. It’s the same story every time. Someone trying to be free. Someone trying to be loved. Someone trying to survive.” Anyway, I put a few hundred pages of that story into a book.

Dudes who like to say "what'd you expect, CITIZEN KANE?" would not like CITIZEN KANE should they ever see it. Also, I've been to several revival screenings of CITIZEN KANE and I overhear *a lot* of "boy, that was no CITIZEN KANE" remarks concerning how they can't figure out what's so hot about it.

I don’t know if this means Grogu dies in the new movie or if it’s just a joke but whatever it gets a repost.

there's simply no adequate political response to this that isn't based on fully destroying the people and party responsible for it

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

It’s really a tremendous self-own, because the only way this could ever seem “surprising” and noteworthy to anyone is in obvious contrast to the party today.

Those on the left are missing the only fight that matters right now. We need to stop talking about republicans and engage in a full court press against the so-called “moderate” wing of the Democrats. Nothing can happen until they’re all gone. Burn it all down and start over.

Imagine what we could accomplish in this country, imagine the new businesses we would build, if we didn't have to worry about health insurance. Imagine how much less anxiety and suffering. Medicare for All is an economic obligation, and a moral one.

It's easy to joke about InfoWars being acquired by satirists. But it's worth remembering why this is happening at all, and that the parents of Sandy Hook children, who've received nothing for what Alex Jones put them through, are finally about to.
