I refuse to care about anything GAME OF THRONES related ever again. Doesn't matter if the new show is the greatest show in the history of tv, I'm done.
If HBO wanted me to watch the spinoffs, it shouldn't have let 2 chowderheads utterly destroy my affection for the franchise because they were bored.

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

The public values authenticity in public figures above almost everything else.

The fact that Newsom was a standard center-left politician and is now shifting to the right will alienate him from both his old constituency and his new one.

Have Democrats really not learned their lesson on this?
A major reason that Gavin Newsom will not be the Democratic nominee is that it's very clear that he read the same stuff we all did last year about swing voters not liking orthodox social liberals and is "pivoting" on certain issues to try and pretend that he didn't have an entire career being one

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Last week, ICE agents ate at a Mexican restaurant in Willmar, Minn. Hours after the meal, they detained employees.

In light of that, I asked owners of Mexican restaurants in states where immigration raids are underway how they feel about serving customers who support ICE efforts.
