Name two characters you think are the same person.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

I watched a video essay discussing It's a Wonderful Life and I noticed Mr. Potter's carriage had an ornate HP on the door. I wondered--is he Harry Potter? He's only credited as Mr. Potter. BUT a shot of his office door read Henry J. Potter. Harry is a diminutive of Henry.

If still debating whether Donald Trump or Elon Musk willfully crippled Ukraine's missile defense, helping to slay innocent civilians, you are a rube. If the U.S. President had no role, then an oligarch governs national security. If not, the U.S. President serves Russia. Both answers are mortifying.

Why isn't every reporter asking him, and everyone in his entire administration, for documentation of one single child being transitioned by their school without parental consent? Why is the fourth estate just letting him repeatedly tell this easily refuted lie?

Trump: "Angie Nixon was the lead sponsor of a bill to let schools turn children, all of them, transgender without parental consent"

A quick Google shows Harry's middle initial is "J". This means the boy wizard grew up, dropped Harry, and became an irascible banker, trying to destroy Jimmy Stewart from his wheelchair. I have decided this is a fitting end for the character and it is now cannon.* *I've never read or seen HP.

I’m not an expert, but if Russia is providing material and intel support to Iran while we are at war, US politicians and citizens providing economic, technological, and diplomatic assistance to Russian are committing treason. Am I wrong? Instead of impeachment, should we be looking at prosecution?

This article debunking Acton’s mother’s attacks is from National Review. A longstanding conservative publication.

I was way ahead of this trend. I went no contact from my mother over 30 years ago, in my early 20's. I did it when I realized that if a girlfriend was treating me as badly as my mother treated me, I wouldn't hesitate to break-up with them.

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

Looking at some of the takes on this thread, I now understand why studios only make comic book movies and have given up on adult dramas.😐

Name 2 Films: one overrated, one underrated.

I'm 56. I've regularly worked with young people in various jobs over the years. I have always prided myself on not being the old guy hating on the kids. I've often defended younger generations to my peers. But damn kids, you're making it hard.

Not showering, wearing sweaty clothes and even drinking urine before going on dates. 'Pheromone-maxxing' is the latest trend on social media, but what does the science say?

"the myth [that gas taxes fully pay for roads] protects the status quo... if people believe drivers pay their own way, it's easier to argue for more spending on highways. It's harder to ask the basic questions of like who benefits, who pays, who aren't we counting? It's a thought terminating cliche

Look Both Ways with David & Wes@lookbothwayspod.bsky.social

New pod is up—and it's all about surging gas prices. Wes & David discuss: 🔹 Whether the shift toward buses and bikes might endure 🔹 Why it's a smart time to invest in transit marketing 🔹 Whether tolls and road use charges can (and should) replace the gas tax

The American Dream—buying a house in the suburbs and watching it increase in value to the point where subsequent generations need to move farther and farther out to obtain the same thing at a comparable price, but with an even more soul-crushing commute—was always a Ponzi scheme.

Documents released by a watchdog group suggest that despite Trump's promise to fund Freedom 250 events through private donations, taxpayers largely footed the bill. The budget estimates leave open questions about where tens of millions in private donations ended up.

Why haven't the press filed a FOIA request for the video they claim shows the vandalism?

Trump: “They attacked the Reflecting Pool. They viciously attacked it, cutting it with probably box knives — knives or box knives, box cutters."

So this was the reason for the Iran War all along. He drove up gas prices so there wouldn't be an outrage when basically lifted sanctions against Russia.

Trump: "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November ... "

You can investigate the truth claims of every religion. Christianity isn’t special. Apply the same standards of evidence to Christianity that Christians apply to every other religion, and it fares no better. Also, we investigated. Turns out it’s not true. Sorry!

This is exactly why we oppose prayer at city council meetings. Everyone supports government prayer until it’s a religion they don’t like. Government should represent everyone, not privilege one religion over another.

I get so irritated w/ outrageous headlines. I just read "Jason Kelce breaks silence on Lane Johnson retirement." Implying Kelce's been holding back some dirt. But he commented about 24-36 hours after the Johnson announcement. He wasn't holding out, he was waiting for his next podcast episode.
