    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Crazy is pretty much all that comes out of her mouth, so I'm not surprised anymore. Her grip on actual reality is weak. She's part of the Q branch of the GOP after all. I think her and MTG share custody of a single brain cell.

    2022 Celebrity Death Thread

    Knew it was coming, she's been I'll for awhile, unfortunately. Koening will be next. Shatner and Takei are trying to outlive each other out of spite, they'll probably outlive the TNG cast

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    True enough. Kentucky and West Virginia have both been hit pretty hard by the latest round of extreme weather, but people like Manchin still like to insist that freak weather events AREN'T linked to climate change and are more due to dumb luck or god's will. When somewhere like New York, Tokyo...

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    While it was well known that the race in question had some underhanded tricks used to get voters to vote for the wrong guy, I think it IS new news that a friggin utilities monopoly afraid of the democratization of power generation was the one who initially bankrolled the scheme. Frankly, if we...

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    A few Russian oligarchs found that out the hard way.

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    His vacation home at least. If the water levels are rising in West Virginia, we've already lost and I'm probably posting this from a raft somewhere in the newly expanded Atlantic Ocean.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I'd argue Desantis is worse. He's actually somewhat competent at enacting his agenda. Trump just bumbled his way through his presidency like he does just about everything else and simply relied on his odd anti-charisma to convince his underlings to do his bidding(which, thankfully, didn't...

    Climate change (because it's still political for some reason)

    Also patents do have a lifetime. It's a delaying tactic more than anything. I think we are starting to see the results of that now as more and more of said patents expire and enter the public domain.

    The MST3K thread by Gizmonics

    Heck, I was surprised to see a "The Critic" riff of all things in this episode "BUY MY BOOK!". The transformer sound they made when Gamera was pulling in his extremities was a nice touch, too. It has to be my favorite episode of the season and not just because my backer credit showed up in...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Hopefully deSantis meets an untimely end when an alligator wanders onto the governor's mansion's grounds.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    That's hot even for the American South. If the Tories are so unconcerned, let them spend 8 hours outside in those temps. See if they change their tunes then(assuming they survive it, that is. Heat stroke is no joke)

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    Heck, Cricket is owned by ATT, Metro PCS is owned by T-Mobile and Boost was owned by Sprint(until it was sold to Dish Network before Sprint's merger with T-Mobile). I'm pretty sure Xfinity mobile's very existence was a compromise between Comcast and Verizon. Comcast was considering getting...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Pretty sure he's been saying that since the original ruling, just a bit more ominous given the current courts recent rulings.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    I thought the anti-catholic rules applied to the monarchy, not the Prime Minister, but either way it's a stupid rule from a bygone age.

    Shinzo Abe Assassinated

    If you think any country of sufficient population doesn't have it's share of nutjobs, you are sadly quite naive. Japan was also extremely xenophobic until recently(still has a strong undercurrent to this day, though at least they aren't banning foreigners outright, like they were known to do...

    Who's trying to break the internet today?

    Yea, the big telecoms HATE competition with a passion. They successfully blocked a municipal ISP out of Chattanooga from expanding outside of city limits based on trumped up claims of 'unfair competition' simply because the ISP was technically owned by the City of Chattanooga. They would also...

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    Beef has a lot of external factors involved in price. A lot of the current increases in beef prices can be linked to environmental factors(aka droughts in the midwest/west). We are at fault for the increases, but it's actually NOT a direct result of consolidation in this case, it's because...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Actually, they will ban CERTAIN Christian denominations, if they get the chance. The no state religion thing was put in the constitution BECAUSE the European powers of the time would go after whatever Christian denomination they felt was at odds withe the state church.

    Kinda wondering if the Holiday Special will count as the second episode or if we're getting a second full episode with Joel.

    Police behaving badly

    Probably not a direct link, but extreme stressors CAN increase the chances of a miscarriage, especially in women genetically susceptible to them. There's also the fact that such stress can lead to a sudden surge in various hormones and if such a release is triggered at certain points in fetal...
