I think we owe Paladin an apology. All his doomsaying turned out to be right after all.

Man, our Constitution really is garbage. No wonder Jefferson thought it should be thrown out and rewritten every 20 years.

Also, remember when somebody linked to that one webpage listing off all the evidence for Trump being the Antichrist? I try not to be superstitious about this sort of thing, but I have to admit my heart did a weird maneuver when they referred to Trump's SUV as "the Beast". Does anyone know if...

Bonus episode of the hearing today. Somehow, the revelations continue to surprise me. The biopic on this is going to make Hitler in Downfall look calm and composed by comparison.

Godspeed, Scotland. Crossing my fingers that the EU will have a change of heart about keeping you out, or at least caves to pressure. It'd be pretty damn hypocritical to let Ukraine join but not you.

Reminder that Rita Skeeter was inspired by the London Times. Even J. K. Rowling in the 2000s knew about the British media's habit of downplaying the threat of fascism.

I might have mentioned before that I haven't watched Atop the Fourth Wall in ages, but this got my attention because it was the starting point of the DC Cinematic Disasterverse. Pretty much all my knowledge of the Superman mythos comes from pop-cultural osmosis, so one thing that surprised me is...

I hate to say it but the best case scenario might be one where Biden dies in office and Harris takes over that way.

But anyone except Bernie will have the Bernie-or-bust crowd working against them as well. Regardless of whether or not he even runs. It's a mess.

Bernie also has the stigma of two failed runs and the stink of the "Bernie bros" on him. The right-wing media machine will turn the full brunt of its power against anyone who runs, as they have already been doing against Biden. At this point the only thing that matters is how well a candidate...

Bastille Day is still a national holiday in France, so they must believe it was worth it in the end. EDIT: Actually that's a good question; how do modern-day French people view the Revolution?

And yet he's going to run for reelection anyway just to block any actual progressives from getting the job, bet my life on it.

So, you're saying we should stage our own January 6?

Yeah, but it's not like Biden has been in hypersleep that whole time. Or is asleep right now. Just because he can remember a time when people who called themselves Republicans could be decent human beings shouldn't make him incapable of observing the outright villainy they're committing now...

And what, ultimately, was the point of any of it? Wasn't it already possible to get these games on all the current-generation platforms?

Hell with it, let's just burn the capital to the ground and install her as dictator.

I kind of miss when the big semiannual sales offered actual crazy deals on things worth getting, but I also remember buying a lot of games I ended up not liking or never getting around to playing just because TotalBiscuit made them sound fun, or because they had a native Linux port, or whatever...

Also worth noting, for as much as I've gone on about strict constructionists, looking at the actual text of the rulings, none of these decisions have actually been based on that, and aren't even trying to pretend they are. And that's exactly what happens when the process of choosing justices...

Unfortunately the first step was to get more true leftists onto the ballot instead of the blue dogs that are no doubt running in a lot of places, and the midterm primaries are all over. Actually the zeroth step was to make universal mail-in ballots a permanent institution, so that people who...

Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy.
