“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

Prior to the shenanigans, it really does seem like The Dude lives a perfect life in The Big Lebowski. He smokes weed. He bowls. He has close friends. All of these things are good.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

Today is the birthday of artist Ramona Fradon (Oct. 2, 1926-Feb. 24, 2024). Most known for cocreating Metamorpho and her work on Aquaman, Superfriends, Plastic Man, and the comic strip Brenda Starr, Reporter.

Advancements in technology meant the office Computer Room of the 1980s was no longer necessary. But at what cost?

Airflow Company advertisement from the 1980s showing a trio of abnormally attractive people in swimsuits working in an office Computer Room, flanked by giant reel-to-reel machines.
Debbie sits before a console with perfect posture. She wears the blue and white-striped 1-piece that Craig likes. The deep v-neck shows her ample cleavage, but Craig isn't looking.
Craig stands in the background talking to that bitch Stephanie, who wears a red one-piece. Her blonde hair cascades to her shoulders, shining in the florescent lights. She and Craig read a Dennis The Menace comic from a newspaper, but Craig keeps sneaking peeks down the front of Stephanie's swimsuit. Stephanie pretends she doesn't notice, but leans close to give him a better look.
Debbie grits her teeth in silent anger, only the sharp click-clacking of her keyboard keys reveal her boiling rage. How dare Stephanie make a move on Craig! She knew Debbie liked him. She always does this. First Mark, then Ken, and now Craig! She must be stopped. That bitch needs to pay!
Debbie releases a slow breath as she continues typing the Thelman Report. She appears calm. Passive. But deep in her mind she plots revenge.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Okay this was going to eat at me all night so here's a thread no one will read. THIS is patently wrong. Superman IS the New Deal. He wants to save everyone, but has blind spots and knows he can't do it by himself. Humans have to have an active hand in their salvation or it won't mean anything.

post by someone I don't follow saying superhero politics would be messed up. Like no duh. But Thor is not an evangelical, Wonder Woman is not a monarchist, and Superman has very little in common with Bob fuckin Dole
