  1. Thomas Kinkade is the Normal Rockwell of Tophet
  2. it means a lot about NY, but nothing about the future of Democratic Party outside of NY. It’s just a local election.
  3. It’s not likely, but saying a Republican or independent could never get elected is like when people said Donald Trump couldn’t get a truly fair trial in New York City. The opposite is true. It’s probably the only place where he could get one. Likewise, NYC is probably the only huge city that is local enough for a Republican to win a partisan election for mayor. That’s why these takes about what the Mamdani win means for the Democratic Party so silly. It doesn’t mean anything. NYC is not representative of the rest of the country.
  4. 2013. But look, here’s the thing with NYC- the voters there are very diverse, very transactional, and vote on a very local basis, and the political structure rewards those who break from their party to get ahead. The default is Democratic but it is ALWAYS possible for a Republican or an independent to be elected mayor. It’s been that way for over a century.
  5. One of the Republicans was Rudolph Giuliani, so not really? if anything, the GOP has nationally drifted towards Staten Island.
  6. Two of the last four mayors of NYC were Republicans and one of the Republicans also won the office as an independent.

  8. And a good day to you too, sir. If you want to experience a small slice of the shit women deal with every day, tell people you don’t like Inception, and some middlebrow type will pop out of nowhere and start explaining Inception. Sure, it doesn’t help that Hans Zimmer decided to make the Oboe player the Oppenheimer of the woodwind section, but Inception didn’t suck because Hans Zimmerman is a bad composer. Inception sucked because at some point after the Prestige, Christopher Nolan apparently lost whatever trust he had in the audience to understand movies based on the combination of moving images and realistic dialogue between well developed characters. As a result, he uses expository dialogue and music the way less gifted directors use voiceovers: as a substitute for competent narrative filmmaking, which in turn makes him a little lazy in terms of pacing and plot points. Consequently, Inception drowns in self-evidence. Basically, the shouting ruins the visuals. It’s like porn for the blind, as described by Frankie MacDonald, cue Oboes on the money shot: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
  9. The irony of Rick Perry is that the two things that killed his career were the two best things he tried to get done.

  11. The problem with Northern Idaho is way bigger than this president. In some ways, he’s a symptom of the same problems that created the situation there. As soon as I heard someone was shooting at firefighters I assumed it would be Coeur d’Alene
  12. $2000?
  13. I think I’ve told you this before, but I would make Rick Perry Governor for life if it saved us one month of Greg Abbott. He’s the worst governor we have ever had, and no one is close.
  14. You mean the party that was exactly like this one but was too embarrassed to act like this in public?
  15. The hospital will be having a July 4 party later that same evening.

  17. Phasing out benefits for the 80th income percentile and above for Americans under 45 would fuck “most” Americans sideways? I’m no engineer, but I’m not sure I agree with your math…
  18. Yeah. That’s what it is now, too. We just maintain an absurd fiction that it’s actually a pension when, in reality, it’s UBI for old people. The goal was to prevent poverty and elderly indigence. So let’s just do that and not go broke.
  19. Inception- that time Christopher Nolan thought people didn’t know how to feel awe without oboes to say when
  20. Shackles! for what it’s worth, I would probably support a phase out of benefits starting at about the 80th %ile for it to make much difference, but we would also need to grandfather in those who don’t have enough time to plan accordingly- roughly 20 years remaining until eligibility. the reason is that I also think SS should be converted to a pure welfare program.
  21. Oppenheimer isn’t as bad as Inception, but it’s not for lack of effort.
  22. They should have called this movie “Horse Cock Zombie”
