I'm not even going to repost a screengrab of his post about Rob Reiner but man it really needs to be said every single day: Trump truly is the biggest piece of shit in the world, a man of absolutely no good qualities and seemingly limitless bad ones. Support for him is just so damning.

I played Lords of Vegas this weekend and realized it's the exact midpoint between Catan and Acquire. (Which is awesome btw.) It reminded me of Mission: Red Planet, which is the midpoint between Citadels and El Grande. What is your favorite "you got chocolate in my peanut butter" game?

I had the thought this morning that any arguments from the last two or three decades that universities must invest in commercial advertising and major sports teams as public relations tools that will eventually generate broad support have been proven spectacularly wrong over the last few years

Oh, you want me to come back to the Nazi site that hates Jews, academics, and women, and is fuel for the raging tempest of divorced future murders? You want me back today, when more university students and Jews are dead from gun violence that you openly support? Get fucked forever.

Rob Reiner, wow. Horrible to heart this news.
I remember his streak of 5⭐️ films in Worcester Magazine in the 80s/90s, which was unprecedented.
This Is Spinal Tap
The Sure Thing
Stand By Me
Say Anything
The Princess Bride
When Harry Met Sally
Misery
A Few Good Men
He wiped out with North.

Rightist parties are winning on the platform of “I will immiserate so may more people than my opponent. Maybe even you!” And folks can’t seem to get enough.

Maybe don’t force people in the spotlight to represent their entire ethnicity or religious group.
Maybe let them be a whole person who belongs to themselves.

Love the cohesive element of right wing thought, very attractive as a thinking being:
•Few government regulations, to encourage business venture.
•Focus on domestic integrity; only work internationally to protect national interests.
•Kill all the Jews.
•Liberty at home over local over national.

I'm gonna be real honest man, the fact that we have to keep constantly exhorting everyone to call their elected representatives every other day to say "please do not sign off on the Make Life Worse For Everyone Bill please" is intensely degrading, and also a pretty poor sign for a functional society

Watching the Darts World Championships on Peacock and its wild. I have never seen this before, but they play super fast, practically tossing into their opponent’s head when it’s their turn. And the arena is basically an enormous bar? Just about everyone in the crowd is in costume? Looks awesome.
