I mean, we've got admin types trying to push End of Days bullshit via the attack on Iran. It's just amazing levels of dumbness.

This is all spectacularly dumb, from the former left/center-left/center types who stayed on twitter to rot to the minority of randos who yell at Jamelle over here.

But TCW being so butt hurt because of Jamelle's critique of him is funny as hell. Almost makes it worth it.

"A white knight". No, a person who both possesses at least basic reasoning and logic capabilities and is willing to keep them engaged. That's it.

You are not a person most people will take seriously. That is a fixable problem, but it's a you problem.

That person is having a discussion in their head nobody else is and it's very unhealthy. Sadly all too common.

in the context of what he was discussing. Which was Media consolidation and it's impacts in what is a very different set of circumstances than what those European countries have.

Those impacts aren't simply in terms of elections. Which being handled at the state level is an entirely irrelevant

This is a deeply unserious response, but entirely in line with what someone who invokes "American Exceptionalism" would say at least. Jamelle offered a more nuanced category of central European countries than "small", and the size of Hungary is entirely irrelevant to the size of US states,

No, he resists people yell at him to quit amid accusations that he enables or platforms everything the NYT prints. Which, to people who made it out of grade school, is a demonstrably asinine position. He is not obligated to tolerate such absurd criticisms.

That is not American Exceptionalism by any definition other than "speaking in code".

Between this and the "Gavin Newsome is the De Facto leader of the Democratic party", they are really cooking right now.

Because outside of Auburn fans, everyone else is enjoying it way too much.

I completely missed his signature there. I love it.

Somewhere, Rob Liefeld just perked up and said "challenge accepted".

Although he will hide the feet, of course.

I see you taking a trip to visit Northwestern and while up there, falling in with a group of students who head to Wisconsin for the weekend to visit friends and party, and tagging along. And you just. . . never leave. You call your folks, finish highschool via correspondence, and enroll that fall.

They think they're entitled to everything. All the credit for any successes they're remotely involved in. The fruits. Whatever they're hearts desire.

Hunter-Seeker to shut down those pesky enemy probes feels so good, every time (I usually play as University or Morgan).

@bravesandbirds.bsky.social and I saw A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum a number of times in three years of Latin (also, quite a bit of epsides of a documentary about Heinrich Schliemann and Troy).

We had an odd Latin teacher.

Professionally I date back to .NET 1.1 give or take.
I can remember instances where that functionality dramatically improved along the way.

I once had to maintain a component in '10-'14 written in Turbo Delphi 6. I had a special VM set up to work on it. My review of that: fuck you and die.

But the tone worked for me as well. The way it moved from character to character and back again was a plus for me.

Yeah at the time I loved the Dark tower stuff too. Owing in part, I'm sure, to being desperate for ANYTHING Dark Tower related (blackboard lines: I will not mention how many times I read the Wolves of Calla preview chapter). I was shocked when people said they hated it. Parts are weird, sure.

Unrelated, but how do you feel about Black House? I've met people who liked and hated it. There were things about it I liked, and things I was uncertain on. Going to have to do a rereead of Talisman and it before this comes out, for sure).

I kind of want to see Flanagan do this as a series. Do three "seasons", one for each book, let them be shorter seasons. Cast three different Sawyers as appropriate. And then, if (when?!?) it smashes, we open the door for Dark Tower.

It's not discrete. All Founder's Disease sufferers started out with Engineer's Disease, and then got lucky in the startup lottery and got enough money to go found more startups (or financially back new startups).
