Highly recommend Pod Save America and their spinoffs / associates. The Pod Save guys are ex-Obama staffers, so they know how the sausages are made, but they are by no means full-time DNC cheerleaders. Just lately their conversation seems to in the realm of “Biden is the nominee, but we have a responsibility to have a level-headed conversation about if that is the best idea; every possible choice comes with risks, and we aren’t doing ourselves any favors if we don’t consider them.”

They make no secret about the fact that they are pushing a progressive agenda, but they also aren’t blowing smoke up your ass about how well we are or aren’t doing, or if democratic figures have made gigantic fuck-ups, which I appreciate.

Collapsible metal travel chopsticks. Always have a useful set of utensils on me. Cost me less than $10.

We’ve got to bring back the United States Postal Savings System

I like that Romero is bypassing LRG

Is there something wrong with LRG that we should know?

“Drenched from head to toe in the blood of your opponent, you stand over their crumpled body.”

“Sweet! I loot the corpse. What do you I find?”

“A small note: ‘Note to self: get cure for horrible blood plague.’”

“…fuck.”

Liquid War was awesome. One of my favorite things about it was that you could make your own maps using black and white bitmaps.

I’ve been meaning to try that game where you play a hole that gets bigger by devouring everything.

Never listened to OA, but Strict Scrutiny is one I listen to for Supreme Court news and analysis.

I started off with melons and coconuts but have switched to filling up old yogurt tubs with water and freezing them and then smashing the ice blocks. Less cleanup.

I bought a warhammer, and then I thought to myself, “You know what’s better than having a warhammer…?”

This is the way.

If they put pole dancing in the Olympics like it belongs you can bet your ass that ratings would go through the roof.

New Colorado law will ban sales of dental floss, clothes, & other household products…

Me: Yo, what the fuck is going on in Colorado?

containing toxic “forever chemicals”

Me: Oh, that makes sense.

It’s a re-imagining and not a film of the play, but Scotland, PA is a very good dark comedy about Joe “Mac” McBeth taking over a fast food restaurant through less than ethical means. Christopher Walken appears as McDuff, an investigator looking into the goings on.

It’s true, that wasn’t an entirely fair comparison, but I was thinking about disastrous adaptations, and that one sprang to mind.

Say, for example, Kubrick and The Shining or Ridley Scott and Blade Runner or Jackson and The Lord of the Rings, as opposed to Shyamalan and The Last Airbender or Jackson and The Hobbit.

Honestly, if Jesse Eisenberg had just been doing a version of his Zuckerberg from The Social Network, it would have been fine. His whole twitchy routine was weird as fuck.

Virtually anything with a Newberry Medal is highly likely to have a traumatizing beloved character death somewhere in it. Maniac Magee and Bridge to Terabithia were good examples from my childhood.
