...his not so quiet resentment of obama even though the man is the primary reason he is where is now, constantly bringing up his friendship with people like strom thurmond unprompted, and i can't help but wonder if he sees his presidency as being beau's presidency, vicariously.

so many of biden's decisions - and his stubborness on many things - are wholly about his personal emotions and connections, not any sort of political calculus. his friendliness with mitch, his old ties to netanyahu as he stays desperately attached to him now, still being bitter over 80s reporters...

The Bikeriders (2023). The American urge to escape from it all and then coat that escapism in as many rules, codes, and rituals as the world supposedly being rejected. Great cast, great cigarette smoking, and a sharp understanding of how cool is usually a series of performances when you lack it.

The thing about the movie TWISTERS is that if you wanted to create an equivalent to the burnt our boomer vibe then our Phillip Seymour Hoffman character would have to be blasting The White Stripes while chasing a storm

Well in story he’s stolen the costume of a not-Spiderman who is being kept by a superhero fetishist as a paid sex toy so I assume his outfit would be horny

Jack Quaid is hot and I fear that he is only going to get hotter, also this pic makes me laugh because why did the costume designer decide to make it look like he's swinging around 11 inches of schmeat

clinton was getting his ass kicked by limbaugh just on *talk radio* before fox news *existed*. the most powerful people in the dem party's response to media as an issue has been "vote to make it extremely easy for billionaires to buy up all the radio, tv, news, internet" and "mope about it".

as always, the obama '08 campaign is the key thing i point to when people talk about how Unfair the media is. it was extremely unfair how the GOP, the media, and hillary clinton herself were extremely racist to him. if his media strategy was 'mope about shit being unfair', probably would've lost.

feels like part of the longstanding trend of "complain about the media, but never do anything about it other than Hope They're Nice To Us" from democrats is that a lot of 'em find the shittiness of the media convenient when they want to knife somebody else in the party

When you run a store or a BackerKit, you can see all the analytics. Where people come from. It can get really granular. We launched the Lackadaisy store rebuild a few hours ago, and sales are humming along, and. Twitter isn't even in the top 5 referrers. Unthinkable, 5 years ago.
