I have dignity and pride....but make no mistake, those principles ARE for sale.
We all know 90 seconds with Susanna Hoffs would do it. He woudn't even have to throw in Sela Ward.

I think that analysis is backward, though. When it was mostly meathead and/or incel shit it wasn't serious. It was the buy in and promotion from the mainstream media that gave the backlash legitimacy in the eyes of much of the public.
There's a reason that conservative activists are always trying to get the New York Times to cover issues, and not just to cover them but to frame their coverage in a particular way. Steve Bannon, Chris Rufo, etc. understand the legitimizing impact that has for their propaganda well beyond the number of people who actually read the Times. For this, the elite media circles didn't even need to be pushed, they sprinted to endorse the backlash.
That may be how the infection spread to older losers, and it may be how many of us recognize this part of the disease, but the youngs don't care about the NYT. They doomscroll and listen to podcasts.
If Me Too is really the watershed moment, and it may be, I would see it akin to Reagan bringing the fundagelicals in from the political cold and giving them a permanent seat in the GOP boardroom. Millions of folks who were itching to make their backwards views a part of public life and discourse weren't radicalzied by Reagan, they were already there. Social media and bro-casters and others gave losers community, Me Too might just have shone a light on it and helped shitgibbon and co. bring them into the fold.

What I find interesting about this in particular is that it's not new. I'm nearly 40 and by the time I was in high school women were largely competitive with men in school and most jobs. The exception that held out the longest was at the executive level. Me Too really scared the shit out of executives, particularly media executives, and they manufactured a backlash that has pushed us back 50+ years, all so they can grope women at the office.
Me too was a factor, I'm sure. But I think 2 other developments fueled the feminist backlash. First, young misogynists got their Rush Limbaugh figures in Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson. Second, the ability of losers (what we used to call incels, and we really should insist on doing that again) to connect with each other in large groups and form a groupthink that led them to absurd conclusions.
Corporate America was always going to be brake on feminist advances, but they couldn't put it in reverse without the help of masses of meatheads and gamers, not to mention the sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies and dickheads.

We focus on the racism bit, but young men (and some not so young) reacting to the attack on their god-given right to be superior to women is a major factor as well.
Equality is triggering, in all its forms.

They should be careful who they martyr. I guarantee things would pop off much bigger than a random judge or congress woman getting bullshit charges- disappearing the front runner for mayor of NYC will not be tolerated by regular people
If they disappear ZM and nothing significant happens to the administration, they will only be emboldened to start a wider purge of public officials pushing back.
We're far too fat, happy and complacent to turn into the kind of mob y'all think is going to form. There might be marches, and maybe those marches get a little boisterous. Social Media will be replete with memes, selfies and 'OMG look at what the cops are doing' videos. That's about it.

QuoteIsrael-Iran live: Trump thanks Iran for 'early notice' of missile attack on US base and shares hope for peace in region
Donald Trump has thanked Iran for giving "early notice" of a missile attack on a US base in Qatar. He confirms no Americans were harmed, and encouraged both Israel and Iran to end their conflict.

Was Israel's hospital being used to house terrorists and terrorist operations and munition storage? Or was it a normal healthcare space full of sick people? Inquiring minds.
What difference does that make to the families of the formerly just sick but now dead people that were in those hospitals?

Il Duce would like a word with you. The Italians ran him right the heck on out of there when it became apparent he was a bumbling moron who was not a great cult leader.
A resounding military defeat in the lower 48 would qualify as the kind of event Dotard couldn’t survive.

Good.
What people need to realize is that we don’t win by Trump getting better. We with him getting worse. By him doing more and more indefensible, vile shit. Which he will, it’s his nature.
More vile shit, and more vile shit, until his defenders lose critical mass. Then…we overwhelm them and defeat them. That’s the plan. Don’t know if it will work. But it’s the only way.42 minutes ago, UpperWestside said:It works. It'll work this time and it'll work the next time a country gets fooled by an old racist and obese grifter. You build support to send these people packing with days like today.
Y'all getting your hopes up. A cult leaders spell only lifts when they die, and only if they don't die a martyr. I know y'all have see posts about how evangelicals trap new followers by isolating them from the secular world. They get sent out to protletyze only to be told how silly their new belief is. That only steers them futher into the cult which doesn't think they're weird, instead is the community they've been seeking. This shit is just more of that. Making fun of Dotard changes nothing for the cult. His failures change nothing for the cult.
The other reliable Pub voters won't change either because taxes, people of color, pronouns, and whatever else Fox News comes up with in the 60 days before elections. Holding their nose to vote for THEIR team has become a regular thing now. It's just how it is. No need to rally those troops, 'cause they'll always vote, and vote R. The people who can get fed up or are too embarrassed to stick with the party have already left.
We're going to need an event to shake us out of it. COVID wasn't enough. Something far, far worse. Short of that, or the billionaire class suddenly deciding they actually do have too much money, this is the new normal.

Man they really sacrificed a lot of good kid mannequins to the Tesla FSD test!
In all seriousness I like to give guadaloopy a hard time here too, but removing the bus and stop sign part of this demonstration, none of us are stopping in time to not hit these kid mannequins yanked out in front of the moving vehicle.
Why is that fair? The whole fucking point is if you're gonna be an asshat and blow past a loading or unloading school bus, you're acting recklessly and there's a good chance you commit a negligent homicide. Those tests show quite conclusively that FSD is nowhere near ready for public roads, except as a supplement to a non-asshat human driver. If it were ready, the dummy would've crossed safely because the Tesla had correctly identified the loading/unloading school bus as "loading/unloading school bus" and not as "truck," consequently applied the rules of the road and stopped 50 short of where the dummy crossed.
HH succincly pointed out your idiocy, but I think it's readily apparent you needed it spelled out for you.

Looking though the list of the scenarios the WOPR plays out in WarGames, I see one called “Israeli Discretionary.” I find comfort in knowing that the movies from my childhood weren’t just scaremongering, rather simply preparing me to accept the inevitable.

The Democratic Party will run the same plays they’ve been running since Clinton. Stop putting hope in those fuckers. Money has corrupted any of them that see the chance to keep their seat into retirement, with only a couple exceptions here and there.
We are, and will remain, without effective representation in opposition to the formation of the world’s first kleptocratic clown car hyperpower.

Could be just another scheme to manipulate markets for insiders, but Elon truly getting sideways with trump and losing both a chunk of government cash and a number of cultists would be a very entertaining center ring leopard face eating.

Unfortunately it's still Biden-Harris, which is why the left-leaning media (and Dem voters) are currently unable to organize around a cohesive message. It's also why the more mainstream media is still squatting on revisiting the 2024 election--that's still getting more oxygen than Trump's corruption.
That's happening, but it has nothing to do with Biden and Harris being organically the face of the party. It has everything to do with our media, in varying degrees, being tools of the wealthy elite in preserving and growing their personal fortunes. Trumps' corruption and incompetence would push anything Biden or Harris to the back page and almost completely off air if journalistic credibility still existed and publishers and news directors weren't nearly as corrupted as our political class. Instead, Tapper et al. are manufacturing ongoing scandal to both make money for themselves, and fulfill their masters' wishes.

Dems need to change the nominating rules. Have a closed convention in December '27 and nominate Donald J. Trump. The only way he doesn't get a third term is if Dems put him on their ticket.

Not all that surprising, considering we eventually learn that most tech billionaires are assholes, but did no one think to point out that "Palantir" is a reference to a Tolkien magical artifact that was used by the most evil being in that world to corrupt the mind of a would-be adversary and to spy on the good guys? Just another case of evil always self-reports, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, fuckin' nerd.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
in Daily Texan

That skeet is pointing out that Teslas are depreciating faster than (as least a couple) other EVs. It's taking a mildly interesting fact and making into a "Elon is destroyed" internet moment.
