Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says “It hurts when I do this.” Doctor says “Treatment is simple. Don’t do this.” Man bursts into tears.
“But Doctor, I *am* do this.”
Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.
Yeah start insinuating he has morning chai rather than coffee, say that he knocks things for 6 rather than hits a home run, allege that he is generally a clean living good boy who loves his mother and prays every Friday (pejorative).
Would love to know what methods for diversifying an organization don’t focus on new hires? Just firing existing workers? Does he favor keeping the same employeees but changing their race/sexuality?
Protip: If you put in your bylaws that the group in question follows Robert's Rules of Order for anything not specified explicitly in the bylaws, it would be good for the people running meetings to have passing familiarity with Robert's Rules of Order
You would think, right? If I set an elephant loose in Times Square, what it does is on me. I can't just shrug off the unfortunate fate of the peanut vendors.

All the discourse about James Bond being a hopelessly outdated relic of the Cold War has to contend with the fact that the best James Bond film was released in 1995.
Oh you want me to go see the movie everyone is talking about? Go see it at a cinema? The place where they literally drive a train at you?? not gonna happen lol 😂
Attempts to at least agree the next meeting date for the One Ring Committee would later prove difficult. As Elrond would reject all suggested dates.
It would later emerge that he had booked a lengthy sailing holiday, immediately after the first meeting.
"This could have been an email." Aragorn whispers.
"He ALWAYS pulls this shit in 'Any Other Business" Boromir replies, quietly. "It's why Faramir marked himself as busy when the invite went out."
Elrond tells the long story of the One Ring, from its forging in the Mountain of Fire, to its betrayal of Isildur at the Gladden Fields. Frodo is startled to learn that Elrond himself marched with Gil-Galad in the Last Alliance against Sauron, more than three thousand years ago.
some good local political drama: there's a crowded mayoral race in a nearby town, and one local business owner put out signs opposing a local councilwoman who's running. the signs get stolen, but it turns out he put airtags in them and they were traced to the councilwoman herself.

The plane just landed in Equatorial Guinea.

"A documentary is when something is true and the more true something is the better of a documentary it becomes" seems like a genuine opinion a shocking number of people hold. they are of course wrong
Have self respect and don’t eagerly dive into a subservient caste.
It would be bad even if the king were a cool guy who was awesome in a bunch of ways but so much worse when it is just some hemophiliac or whatever
My brain cannot process this level of corruption.
She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee."
And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money.
