The electoral map if a dem ran on “I’m going to put everyone in the Epstein emails—every Republican and every Democrat—in jail”
An electoral map from the website 270 to Win. Every state is blue. There is a legend for what colors mean and where there are split vote districts, but it doesn’t matter because every single state is solid dark blue. Across the top is a progress bar marking 270 electoral votes in the middle, democrats on the left, and Republicans on the right. It’s meant to show how close to victory either party is. It doesn’t matter because every single state is blue.

Those are Democrat votes. We count those.
Two captioned frames from a scene in 30 Rock where Kenneth says: “I don’t vote Republican or Democrat. Choosing is a sin, so I always just write in the Lord’s name!” And Jack responds: “That’s Republican, we count those” The first frame shows Kenneth smiling innocently in the 30 Rock executive office. The second shows a side angle of Kenneth with the same smile, but Jack is looking at him sidelong with a condescending expression.

Not trying to be contrarian for its own sake, but a little context does make this make more sense, from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Issey_M...
Text from a Wikipedia article reading: From a young age, Miyake respected artist Isamu Noguchi, whose novelty and sense of fun in his designs inspired Miyake. He was also inspired by fashion designer Madeleine Vionnet's use of geometric calculations and "a single piece of beautiful cloth". In Paris, he visited several museums and he mentioned that he was influenced by sculptors such as Constantin Brâncusi and Alberto Giacometti. Miyake also developed a friendship with Apple's Steve Jobs, who came to him after seeing the uniforms Miyake designed for employees of Sony's factories. At Jobs's request, Miyake designed similar vests for Apple employees, but Jobs encountered strong opposition to the idea of a uniform. Nonetheless, Miyake went on to produce the black turtlenecks which would become a part of Jobs' signature attire. Jobs said, "So I asked Issey to make me some of his black turtlenecks that I liked, and he made me like a hundred of them."

I was raised in a deeply evangelical culture and still go to a Protestant church (Methodist so like, the Michelob Ultra of Anglicans), and yet…

I want my money back for each of the 10 Protestant points I got. I need to go back and retake it and rig the liberal answers.
An online quiz from https://anglican-quiz.vercel.app specifically the results page. I am classified on a triangle with points “Catholic,” “Protestant,” and “Liberal.” Mostly toward the liberal end and roughly on vector pointing from the center toward the liberal node so that the other two axes are evenly weighted. The name of this area is “Biblically Literate Progressive”

A screenshot of the Wikipedia entry page for Trump v. United States, saying: Oral arguments were held on April 25, 2024. Trump's attorney D. John Sauer argued that the President has absolute immunity from prosecution for all official acts unless successfully impeached and convicted by Congress before prosecution. Michael Dreeben, representing the special counsel, argued that there are appropriate safeguards to assure that a president could not be prosecuted for most acts done while in their official capacity. One notable controversy which occurred during oral arguments was a response Trump attorney John Sauer made to Sonia Sotomayor which argued Presidents can, among other things, kill political rivals with immunity.

Of all the words to do this with. It’s dumb either way but… “submit”? “Submit” is the word he’s going with? “Submit” is the word he’s going to say has no Arabic translation? I keep getting angrier every time I think about it.
A screenshot of Wikipedia. The text says: Etymology See also: Muslims § Etymology In Arabic, Islam (Arabic: lit. 'submission [to God]') is the verbal noun of Form IV originating from the verb salama, from the triliteral root (S-L-M), which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of submission, safeness, and peace.

The love for Nickel Creek in these comments makes me happy. Their latest, “Celebrants” was on repeat in my car for like a month, and I’m still on a Chris Thile kick because of it. Right now my favorite might be “Hell on Church Street”
The cover art for the Punch Brothers album “Hell on Church Street,” with the name of the band and album across the top of the image. The art is a painting of a bird yellow bird carrying a twig. The bird has orange tinting on its head and black tinting on its wings. One end of the twig is cracked and flaming, the other is broken from a small tree on which the bird is perched. The tree is also covered in orange cracks, the uppermost branches aflame. The tree in which the bird sits is itself in a blue nook, the majority of the frame is the wall around the nook, painted to look like a cloudy daytime sky. Above and in front of the nook, detailed paper cutouts of the moon and stars are falling. The cutouts are also on fire.
