    He knows something that’s not out there yet. Ā

    He definitely knows something. He has publicly said he’s going back to jail if the Democrats regain power.

    Agreed. Sue Storm has to be the most sexually satisfied superhero in whatever universe.

    Old Clinton joke

    Ā 

    Flying saucer lands on WH lawn and 2 attractive humanoids emerge, one male one female

    they are brought to the Oval Office where Bill has called Hillary in so they can properly welcome them. The aliens inform them they are peaceful and want to impart advanced technology to the people of earth. They say the custom on their planet is to begin such interactions with sexual relations. Hillary is down so she and the male head off for one bedroom and Bill and the female to another

    When Hillary and her partner are ready to get down to business he says if you want to adjust my length turn my left ear; for girth turn my right ear. They get going and she fine tunes things and they Ā have a great time. They all meet up later in the Oval Office and say their goodbyes with plans to transfer the technology to the appropriate agencies.Ā 
    Ā 

    Hillary, glowing and with a huge smile turns to Bill and says that was the best sex of my life! How was it for you? Ā He says yeah it was pretty awesome but she damn near ripped my ears off

    Maybe I’m over simplifying this….

    The victim is named in the email. I assume he/she has already been contacted interviewed, age verified, asked under oath if Trump had sexual contact etc…. Ā Please tell me Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, someone with control of this information over the last 7+ years has already done this? Once the victim’s age is confirmed and their statement is taken Trump is immediately arrested. No need for Epstein, or Maxwell?


    What am I missing?

    I’m pretty sure she ā€œkilled herselfā€ recentlyĀ

    This pervasive attitude in our world that to criticize anyone that is not a straight white male means they are animated by hate for that race/gender/sexuality is so simple-minded and dishonest.Ā Ā 

    For the record I don’t think you hate anyone I think you’re dumber than a sack of hammersĀ

    I was not defending Portnoy. Reread above if you think otherwise. I just said I think Mamdani is a worse person

    Let’s see one thinks working people should be able to afford food and shelter and billionaires should pay their freight and the other tells rape jokes.Ā

    I'm pretty sure there were 400 separate IP violations in that clip.Ā  Didn't license the song, didn't license the clip from car commercials, movie sequences, etc., to be used for political purposes....in violation of the Hatch Act.

    At this point, the administration's consistent, repeated, and flagrant disregard for intellectual property -- layered on using it for illegal purposes -- merits a blanket injunction against using ANY licensable material without prior consent.Ā  Seriously, there's a viable suit to be filed and pursued there.

    "But then there are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS, or whether it is the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment." He rambles a bit starting at 9:20, but he says it.

    In the case of Mamdani, this is absolutely true. He's used communist rhetoric ("seizing the means of production", "Each according to their need, each according to their ability", wants government run grocery stores, etc.). His mom has said that he does not see himself as American. I'm done with cloak room posting here, but to say "none of those claims are remotely true" is ridiculous.Ā 

    Holy shit you’re a moron

    Did not expect a bunch of Mamdani apologists from UT, TT, and OSU football fans, but I guess Surly really is like the Star Wars cantina with all sorts. He's a fake POS and is a worse person than Portnoy, btw.Ā 

    What’s Mamdaniā€˜s best rape joke do you think?

    The Shining movie IS better than the book.Ā  But the ONLY one?

    Stand By Me would like a word.

    Nah. Book is better by a nose IMO. As is Shawshank

    Ā 

    but what is REALLY mind blowing is the cumulative greatness of Different Seasons. Two standalone classics in Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption and The Body (stand my me), a super creepy Nazi survivor tale in Apt Pupil, and more standard King fare with The Breathing Method.Ā 
    Ā 

    Sadly King was still considered horror pop lit when I was in undergrad. I tried to get a couple of professors to add him to their syllabi but they said the chair would have a fit

    Dude, are you me?Ā  I'm a fast reader, and I can paint imagery and nuance in my head, as I read, better than most any audiobook I've ever listened to.Ā  When I read something that's just incredible prose, I may read it multiple times.Ā  Not because I don't understand it, but because I want to feel it wash over me in different ways.

    Could be. Just to test

    the Shining is the only Stephen King movie better than the book true or false?

    I guess my question (and probably the source of my apparent insecurity about the concept) is this then: what actually makes it different? What am I losing or missing out on by listening to a novel instead of reading it? I've done both. I've been incredibly touched by both. What is the point of it being a "hill to die on" to quote our conversation stater, if not to striate media consumption? (Yes I know he's not beingĀ entirelyĀ serious there)

    For me it’s the close reading of text for themes, imagery, etc. I tend to do that naturally which is probably why I wound up an English major. I find I can savor beautifully written prose on a whole other level than I can with an audiobookĀ

  11. To further derail I have LIBBY and don’t borrow audiobooks often but there are some fantastic BBC radio plays that I like to listen to. Many Sherlock Homes and Agatha Christie mysteries and a fantastic lord of the rings series. They are actual productions not just reading the unabridged works. It’s really sad to me that whole medium is likely gone foreverĀ 

    I will download the occasional novel if I’m going to be on a long road trip but I read so much faster I usually find my mind wandering. And I’m not interested in Alvin and the chipmunks speedĀ

    I love to read, but not everyone does. The above was my junior year high school English teacher’s approach and she got so many kids interested in literature that were completely turned off by the written word.Ā

    I'll take it a step further.

    Maximum Alpha, for sure, is when a warrior/hero, Achilles, goes apeshit after refusing to fight in the battle because his ego wasn't sated, but then joins the fight after his lover, Patroclus, is killed while he refused to fight.Ā 

    Nothing says Alpha like avenging the death of your favorite buddy's asshole that you can no longer plunder.Ā 

    Where did you get that copy of my classical civ midterm from fall ā€˜88?

    This. Ā What the fuck. Ā If there really is evidence that would be severely damaging to Trump, why the fuck wasn’t it released years ago and why the fuck aren’t people oppposed to Trump who know about it not talking about what it is? Ā If there’s not evidence against Trump, why isn’t Trump just releasing the files? Ā None of this makes any sense.

    Don’t you know? It was all wrapped up into and ā€œofficialā€œ investigation, and once Epstein died, apparently you aren’t able to use any of the tons of evidence against other pedophiles to go after them. Ā Apparently, there’s a big rule about this somewhere in the justice department

    Yeah, that's evidence that they are shook.

    Trump's base is going to go for him, regardless, and he's going to be able to bullshit over this for them.Ā  But he also won't be on the ballot in 2026.

    However, I still think that the vote that won him 2024 was not the base, but a bunch of people who were convinced their life was not any better in 2024 than it was in 2020.Ā  That message should work for Ds this time.
