There should be a special badge on your account if you made it through the Bush and Obama years without falling for Cenk's schtick. Good judgement should earn you discourse privileges.

"forced"

Peter Sterne@petersterne.com

NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

All that "oh that IC member who went on TV and didn't know Narnia wasn't a real country doesn't count, actually the national org isn't a real national org, you're stupid for expecting it to be and judging them for it" is hard to ignore when they try to flex some kind of muscle.

If Raman gets kicked out of DSA that's probably good for another 3 points.

PS5 Spec Forever is a theory like gravity is a theory

Had to stay late at work, which meant missing dinner out with my wife's sister and her parents, who do not give a shit about me being present. They were apparently confused and skeptical at the notion of "working late." Joaders, if these people knew how softly I treat them...

Yeah guys, it's called a career. You never had one, yet you're still somehow going to die in a house you own. Count your blessings. Count them.

They've been behaving for too long. New misbehavior is coming, I can feel it in the air.

well, my mother in law traumatized Kid 2 and accused her of being a phone addict because I guess that was better than Kid 2 calling my wife and telling her grandmama let the dog eat chocolate how's everyone else's day been?

I think the possibility of a Palin-style "it isn't fun anymore" resignation after the midterms is underrated.

It's gonna be so funny when Pritzker wins 49 states over Vance in 2028 and Trump does this the day after

George Pearkes@peark.es

*TRUMP: I LIKE LULA

"JD Vance was a big supporter of mine - not /always/ a big supporter - but he came around, and I told him, I said JD you have to win as many states as you can. If you want to be President, it's the key to it. Winning states. Just one state isn't enough. JD Pritzer understood, which is why he won."

Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."

I gotta think they were showing it running on a PC. Chip or no, SNES isn't chewing on voxel terrain like that. No way.

Commanche FX was a planned port of the DOS game Comanche: Maximum Overkill to the SNES using the Super FX chip. Here it is running at Winter CES 1995. One of several 3D SNES games shown at the event that would never release. https://archive.gamehistory.org/item/c9adc7ca-554b-44ea-bac5-c0998c3e1888

I don't understand why people ever watched the H3 podcast. Like none of these people are funny or likeable, and they don't even seem to like each other. Someone is going to have to explain what made any of this compelling
