He’s a poorly-written Marvel villain. It’s not exactly unheard of.

I’m not a big gamer, but isn’t it supposed to be a shared experience? I foresee no problems with making a shared game that is customized to the tastes of every single player.

Aside from just be in ghoulish and an example of Kegsbreath needing to compensate for his micro-penis I cannot think of anything someone like Hasan would want more than a livestreamed martyrdom.

When I started writing about Supreme Court expansion, you couldn’t get the question *asked* in a poll. The first time I saw it actually polled, it was 8%. Now, we here.

Chris Rock had a bit in his routine years ago about how if we had a Black VP, he’d be one of many willing to assassinate the president.

To what extent is the PoliSci community morbidly curious about the natural experiment he’s running. You rarely get a dataset for something like “What if a very unpopular POTUS triples down on the unpopularity and insults his supporters?” It’s not on purpose, but it’s a real gift to science.

I know why he’d think that’s a good idea. I also think this is the first time in decades where it might work against his goal.

It's long, long past time where I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. Remember when he called Obama the founder of ISIS. Soon after, he was on Hugh Hewitt, and HH tried to be "I know what you meant..." Trump cut him off: "No. I meant 'Founder'." Make him do his own backpedaling if he wants.

Those are good moments, when you realize all the years of training are paying off. Almost as good as when an obscure cable from the bag of tangled cables turns out to be useful.

People who declare “no quarter,” engage in extrajudicial executions, and order perfidious acts shouldn’t get so excited by firing squads.

One of my favorite bits from Law & Order (SVU, I think): Guy: Are you inferring I <CRIME>-ed? Munch: No. You inferred what he implied. On the plus side, you inferred correctly.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

GOP ads right now are all about attacking trans people. Over, and over, and over. I was a gay teen in 2004 watching the Bush campaign try to win on attacking gay marriage, but the resort to this hate drive in campaign ads feels so dialed up now. I can’t imagine being an lgbt kid watching tv today.

More of them need to learn about hitting their opponent's (perceived) strengths. "The GOP has a point about trans girls in sports, but we shouldn't be too rude about it" is not going to win support from anyone. Something like "I oppose mandatory genital exams for young girls" is much better.

He should run more ads touting his great accomplishments and tying a bit for any Republican to support for him, personally. The DNC, DSCC, and DCCC should fund them, if necessary.

He wants everyone to submit to his glory. Paradoxically, he loses respect for people who are foolish enough to do it.

@biff.theincomparable.com Listening to the current episode. (If you posted about them here, you might get more comments here. Just saying. 😜) I agree that they used “Kane” for a reason, but what reason? In addition to the possible bat-connections, it could refer to long-time GL artist Gil Kane.

Pay attention Dems. Gov Beshear won twice, in a deep red state, and never threw trans people under the bus. He led with compassion rather than the fear and cowardice we've seen from some of our Ohio candidates and party leadership.

In a private discussion today this came up: “We need the January 6th Commission hearings, for DOGE.” One could do a lot with NIH and NSF alone. There are clinical trials that ended, patients that died, young people leaving the US… and bad stuff that happened inside the agencies.
