Now that we know that racism pays for even poor white trash, how long until we get somebody else dropping the n-word on video like that?

I only got through 1.5 books of Foundation, but I don't recall there any reference to Brother Dawn, Day, Dusk. Those books were a beating.
No, those were invented to help the non-book reading audience deal with the fact that this series takes place over thousands of years.
I think it's actually a pretty good addition, as the audience could not keep all of the emperors straight from the book.

Lord of the Rings did a fantastic job but was constrained by time limits and Jackson has said as much many time (we won't talk about The Hobbit movies).
There are deviations that were absolutely brilliant. When Frodo holds the ring in front of Aragorn and Aragorn closes his hand around Frodo's hand and tells him he would have went to Mordor, that was not directly in the book (Aragon never ran into Frodo after Boromir tried to take the ring if I recall) but it was an amazing line and scene that summed up Aragorn perfectly. Aragorn was not afraid of the ring but afraid of himself if he were to take possession of it.
And my LOTR fanatical middle-schooler mentioned that the ring on Aragorn's hand was an ancient ring given by somebody to their friend (Aragorn's ancestor I'm assuming) to illustrate their loyalty and friendship, so you see that ring of loyalty and friendship closing over The Ring. Jackson was doing deep dives on symbolism.
Jackson was the perfect person to take it from the pages to the screen (sorry Bakshi, I know you never got your full chance).

@PTINS we haven't forgotten you. Ukraine seems to be able to take facilities offline for longer periods of time, or facilities are burning for longer periods, and/or Russia is running out of parts.
Russia's Syzran oil refinery halted by December 5 drone attack, sources say | Reuters
The Ukrainian SBU reports that the Temryuk LNG port in Russia, Krasnodar region, suffered substantial damage. The fire, which was caused by a drone strike on December 5, raged for around 3 days and destroyed 20 out of 30 fuel tanks. In addition, the drones destroyed railway tanks, an intermediate filling tank and a rainwater overflow station

80s Me if I knew Ukrainians would be using F-16s to kill Russians:
Germany continues to build up, buying European-made weapons. I'd be willing to bet a lot more weapons purchases by NATO going forward will be European or Korean and not American.

And, I guess, two seemingly disparate things could both be true. Putin gets to fill positions that he previously gutted, and once they are in those positions, he can always send them to Ukraine again if he thinks he needs them. Given the economy tanking and all the layoffs, I’d imagine there are many desperate men looking for work who are willing to sign up for those jobs. Russia doesn’t seem to care much about honoring contract terms once they’re signed, but it very much needs people to sign more contracts.
Two birds, so to speak.
Yeah, could go either way, but at some point we will see shit starting to go down in Russia. Ukraine continues to hit their infrastructure, and they continue to be lacking in air defenses. They are going to need dudes with machine guns guarding a lot more places and/or ready to put down the people.
And they are ready to go to Ukraine. He's already broken plenty of promises. He still seems to be trying to hold back from drafting tens of thousands out of Moscow and St. Petersburg directly.

that we're approximately the same age, what was the FCA bullshit? It was really a student club, faculty sponsor was a coach, so it was kind of a nothing at my HS, but most of the jocks dabbled in it.
Attended by kids whose parents and coaches who didn’t want their jock/cheerleader kids out partying and getting somebody pregnant or getting pregnant. They would have get-togethers at peoples houses and do prayer breakfasts on the weekends.
But it did not deter stuff from happening, and a lot of the kids I knew that were in it were doing it simply to check off a box for college applications and scholarship money and yearbook entries. The really good jocks were spending their weekend mornings working out or practicing, not sitting around thanking Jesus over egg McMuffins.

Etc. etc. etc.
He pardoned the Silk Road guy so that the libertarians would vote him. This stuff is not complex. He got something from the Honduran ex-Pres and is just using rehashed talking points about Biden to cover it up.-

If this allows me to make a "Sabbatical to Venezuela to find myself" thread, I just might -- might! -- be on board.
If we take out Maduro it could turn into what Iraq looked like after we took down their government and left a power vacuum for a while, just with cartels and various other groups. Iraq in 2025 is like on their 8th or 9th government since we took out Saddam, and for a long time they were bouncing back and forth between governments trying to reform the country and governments just trying to keep the lights on and water flowing.
So you might be waiting a decade or more to go on that sabbatical.

I was thinking about Texas & MAGA a few days ago, wondering if (or how much of) this has it's roots in Waco 1993. Then yesterday - in response to seeing the story about Abbott & Patrick's Hitler Youth plans - I got this text from my buddy who knows several Texas billionaires:
"This whole Texas maga cult is Branch Davidians 2.0 with lots of money".
The problem for them is most high school kids are concerned with things that have nothing to do with politics and Christianity, in fact the opposite.
Texas is trying like hell to ban social media for the 18 and under crowd, because they know how most kids will view the TPUSA incels.

As much as I don't want Newsom to run in '28--Rush and Rupert Murdoch have 40+ years of poisoning the well for a slick-haired, smooth-talking "extremist" from Commiefornia to do well in a national vote--there's literally no one else right now. He is the only visible, widely-known opposition.
Counterpoint: It looks like Newsom won't be running against Vance so much as he's running against Trump's turbo-fucking the economy and getting us involved in one or more wars that we didn't need to get involved in. And Vance has the personality of Ted Cruz.

There are unfortunately a lot of white people who dream of dropping the n-word in public, but they maintain a public facade of decency because they know the kind of backlash that will result (jobs lost, businesses harmed, etc.), and they are going to reward her for doing what they don't have the guts to do.
Many of us here are white Gen-Xers from the South/Texas which means that more than a few of us probably heard the n-word being dropped as kids by relatives or other people we know, whether in public or private, but at some point, it clicked for us not to repeat the behavior.

My favorite feature of the "Turning Point Everywhere" movement is the blatant hypocrisy. They see it, they just don't care. They never did.
High school kids these days have got better things to do, especially in the cities. FCA, etc. were always nerds and weirdos when I was in high school, I'd imagine this group is far worse and will be mocked/bullied on social media when they start preaching about chastity and whatever else the incels are on about.

They're no good for Poland, but good enough for Ukraine?
Ukraine has a lot more spare parts and a more of them in service. They've been getting parts and aircraft from the other former Soviet bloc/Warsaw Pact nations.
It's like us with F-16s - they are still fine for a lot of things, but we have F-35s in production. Like @Bevo said they didn't have a lot to begin with, might as well give them away where they can help.

Here’s the other thing I may be wrong on: I thought that Putin had previously gutted all of those agencies and sent most of those people to the front already. If they did realize they still need some help at home, then maybe they are replacing bodies already taken to the front with new conscripts.
Actually, I think you are right, and this is probably what it is. He did gut a lot of those agencies and send them to the front fairly early on - there were police officers, firefighters, national guard units, etc. that were a part of what would probably be some kind of surge, and they were complaining about it. I recall the OSINT people pinpointing the actual units (like a highway enforcement unit, etc.) and talking about how crazy it was that these people were in Ukraine (I don't think they were necessarily front-line fighters). We were seeing patches, etc. It has to have been a year or two ago though, because this year, it seems that all we see are just large numbers of soldiers that are ill-equipped and worn down.
When Prigozhin made his little move on Moscow, there weren't a lot of national guard units available to block him, because they had been gutted, which is why we saw your typical city cops digging holes and positioning machine guns.
If you are in the reserves and they call you up for one of these units, you would definitely take that versus going to Ukraine, and Putin needs them because:
4 hours ago, NotActuallyALonghorn said:They also want to have tight control over the groups of people most likely to revolt, and to be able to use them to instead supress any revolt when their economy inevitably collapses.
They probably didn't need a lot of those jobs at home prior to this year (don't need as much law enforcement if you send criminals to the front) and the "national guard" units are about protecting the government and infrastructure, not protecting Russia the nation, and so they didn't need to backfill them. Things are now reaching a critical mass where the Ukrainians are probably close to the kinds of strikes that can leave parts of the country without power and fuel for longer periods of time - Russia only has so many replacement parts for those refineries and power plants and can only patch together so many systems.
And if air defenses continue to be worn down as Ukrainian production ramps up, they are going to need dudes in pickups with machine guns.
