What do people think about giving working class Americans a $2000 tariff relief check for the unfair tax that has driven their grocery and housing prices up?

I agree for the most part, but remember there were more Harris/Walz voters in Texas than in ANY OTHER STATE except California.

I don’t often find myself agreeing with Mencius Moldbug, but he’s right. We are going to win

Doubt it but we’ll find out soon enough

Leporello @sigill.bsky.social · 3d

That reply was the opposite of pedantic. Are you sure you know what pedantic means?

It makes sense for someone like Louie who has had his career rocked by controversy. I little more controversy isn’t going to hurt him at the margin. But Pete Davidson, what are you doing

Based on a True Story by Norm Macdonald is sort of presented as an autobiography but is really kind of just a novel. It is largely told from norm’s perspective though

Flipping through the script now and getting irrationally angry at the quippy repartee. I hate this movie so much

OPPENHEIMER
If that's how you treat a lieutenant colonel, I'd hate to see how you treat a humble physicist.
GROVES
If I ever meet one I'll let you know.
OPPENHEIMER
Ouch.
GROVES
Theatres of combat all over the world-but I have to stay in Washington.
OPPENHEIMER
Why?
GROVES
I built the Pentagon. The brass likes it so much they made me take over the Manhattan Engineer District
OPPENHEIMER
Which is?
GROVES
Don't be a smart-ass. You know damn well what it is- you and half of every physics department in America. That’s problem number one.
OPPENHEIMER
I thought problem number one would be securing enough uranium ore.
GROVES
Twelve hundred tons. Bought the day I took charge.

I’m not cherrypicking an especially egregious example here either. I just picked a page in the script and was like yeah this makes me wish the atmosphere had been ignited in 1945
