I think anyone turning out pro-abortion would've voted D or I anyway, so it driving anti-woman R who might have stayed home hurts Achilles. Hard to tell in one of the only remaining pro-Trump states. But if its gonna happen, these are the conditions for it. Heavy ag state.

Any thoughts on how turnout for the abortion rights initiative and anti-drug-initiatives amendment could boost Achilles' chances?

Somehow I grew up enamored with Animal House, Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Revenge of the Nerds and yet still turned out to be an all right guy. Talk about movies that have not aged well.

The best part is that Kennedy is smart enough to know the gotcha they're setting up is dumb, but the sound bites will be enough for the rubes watching FOX, so he's all in. Schmitt thinks the gotcha is smart, so he's all in. Britt realizes that rubes watching FOX know their sports teams...chef's kiss

It's like every asshole in "Animal House" runs the USA now. Dean Wormer is POTUS, Marmalard is Blanche, Niedermeyer is Hegseth, Vance is Diller, Lutnick is Prof. Jennings, and Rollins is Babs.

Yes, if there's one thing the people of the Spanish-speaking diaspora worldwide are known for, it's their resilience in surviving long falls. It's virtually a stereotype at this point. Who can forget the lovable Looney Tunes mouse, Defenestration Gonzalez? C'mon, cholesterol, why the delay?

Wow. I just learned that under New York law, if you voluntarily consume intoxicants, you can't later claim you didn't consent to sex. So, I guess every bar in New York is serving rape alibis? music.youtube.com/watch?v=x8ZP...

The more microchips are involved in initiating the sounds, the more you are a composer or a conductor than a musician in the act of making noise. Like, Stevie Wonder is a musician, Deadmau5 is closer to a composer. It's still music, though. Mozart never played flute, but The Magic Flute is music. ✊🏻

"Radical" Russ Belville @radicalruss.com · 18h
Now, any old Jabroni can sing in the shower, blow a note on a horn, mash his fist on a keyboard, and noise will happen. Nobody will call it art. Let Stevie Wonder do it, though, and it's art. I don't see why music from a computer should be any different. However... 👇🏻

Breath makes vocal cords, lips, or reeds vibrate over a hole in a tube. Fingers pluck or keys hit strings that vibrate over a hole in a tube, or a magnetic pickup. These all make sounds that can be organized in an artistically pleasing way. A computer is just another tool to make those sounds. 👇🏻

Besides the immorality of a death penalty in a justice system that can never be 100% perfect, I've always thought it was letting the heinous criminal off too easy. A nice lethal injection and all the years of boredom and repression from a lifetime in prison reflecting on your crime just wiped away.

Yeah I made the reference, and then, as I do, went to fact check it to see if I was remembering the correct name, and then learned a whole lot about the urban legend side of this 60-year-old story. A whole lot less of people wouldn't help and a whole lot more of cops wouldn't help.

Are the GOP so clever they engineered the Schmitt Hawks/Hawkeye thing to distract from Smith testifying to Trump's crime? No. Of course not. It's just luck that stepping on that rake works as a great distraction.

The thread this is attached to is great as well, but this observation really stopped me in my tracks. I go back to thinking of every guy who's ripped me off or done me wrong, and sure enough, they were sexist bigots.

Yeah it's kind of wild that the greatest incentive we have for people to join the military is to offer them socialism: free housing, free healthcare, free food, free education, free clothing, free job training, just as long as you're willing to shoot someone we call a communist or terrorist.

That line—"Males who identify as female can still play sports — just not as females"—just ain't true, both via the hormone changes that depress ability and the harassment they'd face on the team. Echoes of "gay people can marry anyone of the opposite sex they want."

Suppose your daughter plays basketball. One day, a new girl arrives at school from Nigeria. She's 6'7", a full foot taller than your daughter's team's center. Should she be allowed on the team with your daughter? Would it be fair? The answer you give is the same one for a new trans girl at school.

Drug prohibition—at least the drugs that are easily produced from plants by brown people—has always been a tool for controlling the poor and minorities. ✊🏻

In fact, if the threshold for a marijuana felony in Florida was an ounce instead of just three quarters of an ounce, the number of black men in 2000 who would not have had a felony and would have voted Democratic would have easily given us President Al Gore. Now you see it, huh?

"Radical" Russ Belville @radicalruss.com · 21h
Well, in the state of Florida, possession of three quarters of an ounce of marijuana is a felony. Felony convictions in the state of Florida take your right to vote. Black men are much more likely to be arrested for marijuana in Florida. Black people vote for Democrats at about 90% rate in Florida.

It keeps getting lost in the discussion, but a lot of that money that flowed to the DeSantis aligned super pac was used to defeat the marijuana legalization amendment that was on the ballot in 2024. They screwed over sick kids so adults couldn't smoke pot legally. Now why would that be so important?

I didn't expect much different from a sport where the Big "Ten" has 18 teams, the Big "XII" has 16 teams, and the Pac"-12" has 8 teams. Where the Atlantic Coast Conference has teams in Texas. Scrap it all, create 5 superconferences based on time zones (2 for South/North Eastern), & pay 'em! 😁
