The best thing to happen yesterday (a low bar to clear but still) was a dog named Peanut Butter winning a game of SNES Ken Griffey Baseball in under 30 minutes at the Games Done Quick convention -- in a 12th inning walkoff, no less.

Looking for cool bars to check out in western Michigan. Everything is looking like a sterile brewery taproom. Googling "punk bar" is no help so I need to think of new code words. Might have to read yelp reviews to find something like "Bartender was obviously selling cocaine."

The reason the media couldn't really cover this lawsuit extensively is because she dropped her lawsuit on November 4, 2016, just four days before the election, and her real name was never revealed. She had received death threats, according to her lawyer, despite never being named publicly.
Looks like something useful is happening on the Nazi site - this court document about Donald Trump’s involvement in the Epstein case is going viral This is a disgusting read

I'm sorry, Patrick Bertoletti, but your name isn't nearly as fun to say as Kobayashi or Joey Chestnut, so don't expect anyone to care tomorrow what you did to your GI tract today.

The fact that the British are about to have a better 4th of July politically than America is objectively funny no matter how you look at it

“Politics would be interesting again,” no politics should not be interesting, normal people should not have to invest time and energy into saving democracy because our institutions are collapsing, give me boring, mundane politics any day

BTW while we were understandably distressed about the Supreme Court and Joe Biden’s situation, a bunch of new Epstein documents dropped, one of which revealed that Trump did shit with twelve-year-olds. Seems like that should be a bigger deal. Page 3: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

I watched almost every adult I knew and respected growing up in Ohio go completely fucking insane when Barack Obama became the Dem frontrunner to replace George W. Bush in 2008, as well as several people my own age who I once considered friends. This is all it's ever been, and their masks got hot.
Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

This is also to my eyes an important factor in all of this. Just completely beyond the pale stuff like "actually Nixon shouldn't be held responsible for Watergate" and "The DOJ isn't independent" need to be addressed and nobody saw those coming.
i think it's worth noting that the court's decision was bad in ways that even pretty cynical pessimists were surprised by

Also, little pissed the reasoning for the latter was “We don’t want a president to be concerned about criminal culpability because it may stop them from acting!” and I mean, actually, yes, I want our executive to be considering whether they’re breaking the fucking law before acting.

Imagine being surprised that if you want to hire the President, Publisher, and CEO of DC comics to personally draw you a bespoke original piece of art, it would be prohibitively expensive.
People were hashtaggin’ Jim Lee to the point I thought the dude passed, but it turns out he’s just charging 20k for commissions, which if you’ve been in the game since the early 80’s and was the head of two different publishers in that run, you’re fine charging that.

The same poll everyone is freaking out about for Biden also shows a majority of respondents saying Trump is a liar and should not be running for office. Think about why that isn’t driving media discussion, why they’re focusing on this and not that, whose interests are being served.
Guys. I am not a quant person but even I know that pushing a sub sample of a larger phone poll from early in June with a 0.8% response rate, where no one who ignores unlabeled numbers on their cellphone responded, tells you nothing about the electorate. Stop letting bad polls drive your politics.

This really isn't false, even if it seems like the movie is making these statements in spite of its creator.
Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice has more interesting things to say about journalism, violence, hell even divisive partisan politics than Alex Garland's critically acclaimed magnum opus Civil War
