You get one coup attempt, as a treat.

If we are going to talk like pirates, I’ll add:

“Never fight uphill on me boys, never fight uphill.”

Obviously.

All the major networks covered this live. None of them covered the Harris rally that happened right after. Some did fact checking afterward. That’s after most people stop watching.

The reporters often asked useless softball questions, like asking him to comment about his upcoming interview with Musk.

When there was a serious question, he simply didn’t answer. There was one about abortion and he said he would answer later. There was one about whether an an abortion drug should be banned. He gave a rambling response that seemed to be about something else.

Compare this to a typical Biden press conference where the reporters are rude and yell out questions and push back and tell Biden that he isn’t answering the question.

The press is afraid of Trump and complicit with his criminal behavior and complicit in the ignorance of the voters.

The most obvious example is untermenche which the nazis used to describe their enemies.

I can’t imagine that the authors of the book didn’t know this. It’s not quite a dog whistle to neo nazis and white supremecists. More like a bullhorn.

Yeah ChatGPT didn’t seem to realize he’s praising/condemning google not Fox. He’s attempting to get google to roll over and lie for him like Facebook does

As an uncle who knows something about WWII and also notices the current rise in fascism, I must point out there is an error in the article:

At press time, Poppavich signed up for a local history group’s WWII reenactment, requesting a position within the Axis powers, specifically the USSR since he “likes Putin’s style.”

Actually, the USSR was not an axis power during the war. They were one of the Allies on the side of Great Britain and the US. The Axis was Germany, Italy, and Japan

An executive order would just be revoked by the next republican president

Kanopy has a lot of international films. It’s free through my library.

I think it’s on Tubi which is free and young people can figure it out. But they won’t stumble upon it like you said

I remember watching some bewitched reruns and they only had a few plots.

• Husband doesn’t want wife to use witchcraft ever
• Husband wants to be the breadwinner and doesn’t want any magical help with his career. By the way his job is in advertising which is useless and stupid so why would he care?
• Wife’s in laws hate husband and make problems for him using magic in some way
• Nosey neighbor keeps seeing strange things but nobody believes her

It’s a comedy so nobody ever thinks to use magic in a way to help society or something, so that’s ok. But it’s very noticeable how mundane the plots are. Also I think there were a few other old shows where the characters were in the advertising business or television business. I bet this was done to pander to the people who were paying for the show.

It’s weird that Dennis Prager spent a few decades on talk radio and in his books talking about morality, specifically Judeo-Christian values. Then later started an organization with his name on it that constantly bears false witness and harms people and breaks several other of the Ten Commandments.

Maybe he never really believed in anything.

Yes, but they would want pigments that are different for each paint brand each brand of paint brand and it wouldn’t just be “yellow paint”

Decades ago there were many unique candies that came out only at Easter time in the US. They were made by relatively small companies. For example there were chocolate eggs with maple or raspberry candy inside. You didn’t see candy like this at any other time of year. There were also Peeps, which weren’t great but at least they were special in that you only saw them for a few weeks a year.

Then slowly Hershey and Nestle started flooding the shelves with egg shaped versions of their boring ass candy you could get any day of the year. And they started selling peeps with different shaped at Halloween and Christmas.

It’s a shame.

There’s a documentary “King Corn” that talks about how US government subsidies to farmers for growing corn have made it so inexpensive that it creates a surplus and prices that are too low relative to other foods. This resulted in the proliferation of corn being fed to cattle and other animals, which makes them less healthy to eat but fattens them for slaughter sooner. Also corn syrup is so cheap to make it made soft drinks less expensive. These are large reasons why fast food was so inexpensive and so bad for you. Also surplus corn and corn syrup led to the creation of a lot of unhealthy breakfast cereals which are marketed to kids.

Innovation sometimes comes from government investment which is taxpayer funded but then the profits are kept private.

And unlike any other TV in your life, the Vision Pro can literally DRM your eyes — if you’re watching a movie in the Apple TV app or Disney Plus and go to take a screen capture, the content blacks out. It’s strange to experience a reality where big companies can block you from capturing what you see, even if all you’re trying to do is show people how cool it looks in a review. You can get around DRM screenshots on an iPhone by just taking a photo of the screen, but there’s no such off-ramp for the Vision Pro.

Hey, I found the reason why I would never never never ever buy something like this. It’s going to be the Black Mirror episode that forces you to watch ads.

Strange New Worlds is more like classic trek, it’s not bad like Discovery.
