I keep rewatching this and it keeps getting a laugh out of me. Bringing 2010's comment-thread brain onto the campaign trail.

I think calling it reactive is giving them too much credit. It's pure passive aggression. Schumer's "he's going to screw up" is founded on the hope that everyone will be suffering enough to realize how bad Republicans are. It's Ralphie praying for soap poisoning.

One question. Okay, a lot of questions, but one stands out. Why is he going so hard for the face? Does he think he can give the robot a concussion? A nosebleed?

Same. I've done the Starlight and the Zephyr a few times, usually on a flimsy excuse to go to some con or something. I do not like going to cons, but I love being on trains.

Haven't gotten to the second half, where he really shines. Rebecca Demornay is as good as I remember so far. And Rip Torn and the dad from A Christmas Story showed up right before this ad break. Absolutely stellar cast.

Rewatching By Dawn's Early Light this evening, one of the all time best cold war oopsiedoodle movies. I put it up w/ Failsafe & The Day After (though not quite in Dr. Strangelove Territory). It was on HBO in the early 90's and then just kind of disappeared. Anyone other than me remember this one?

Oh hey! This has been delayed so long for various reasons I almost went a whole month without realizing! The paperback for Miss Atomic 1962 is available now! 😃It's about a struggling magician and the ghost of a showgirl working together for fame, fortune, and love. 😁 www.amazon.com/dp/1967304017

My favorite bit is about three quarters in, when someone starts twiddling the gain knobs or unplugging/replugging lines or something, thinking it can fix the problem. Turns out asking ChatGPT "how do I do audio" is not a substitute for actual experience.

Happy to report that right-wing radio is only about 20% shitting on minorities these days. The rest is damage control for whatever stupid thing the president did the day before, as he falls deeper and deeper into narcissistic collapse.

Trump's underwater by 10 to 20 points on immigration policy. The only reason it's his "best issue" is all his other approval numbers are even worse. I don't want to alarm anyone, but I'm beginning to worry that Matty may not be entirely objective about these things.

Can we please go ONE WEEK without another round of "with us you get mauled by a wolf, with them you get mauled by a bear, pick one" followed by shock & confusion when we get uptight instead of meekly choosing the wolf? It's starting to become stressful.

The shock these people have when we aren't chill with pariah status has to be performative, right? It's one thing to think (wrongly, per actual data) an anti-trans stance will help elect dems. It's downright perverse to think we're going to be active participants in our own destruction.

Been thinking this over since Sunday & I've concluded the unusually low number of medals/championships won by trans women can only be due to cis women having an unfair natural advantage, and we should therefore consider banning them from competitive sports. RT pls. Let's get a movement started.
