  1. Why would it frustrate Dems? He's a gateway type between the churchy true believers and the ballot box. So many centrist both-sider types(like my in-laws who probably are too chickenshit to confess to me that they voted for Trump) need someone like Talarico to show them they can vote Democrat without having a crisis of identity over it. I'm an atheist but I have no qualms with elected officials being religious as long as they keep their religion separate from the job of governing and don't use religion as a basis for attacking human rights or undermining the role of government in bettering our lives. Talarico's message is inclusionary and that is essential. I am fine with him playing that role while other leftist messengers bring the fiery heat against the fascist Republicans.
  2. Holy shit man thanks for the time and effort of explaining that. I haven't yet fully absorbed all of it but I'll sit down with one of my acoustics and tune it down to Drop D and follow along. Great work!
  3. The best turn ever to this story is if Hillary came out and said she trusts Trump this one time and there's nothing to this made up conspiracy.
  4. But how does the alternate tuning affect the chord shape? Is there a learned pattern that comes with, say, drop D tuning?
  5. I've made some recent breakthroughs learning triads (some really holy shit moments there!) and also the three notes per string technique along with the three fret shift. I already knew CAGED rock solid cold and all the chord shapes and scales within the pentatonic boxes but these lightbulb moments have really opened up my fretboard fluency and now it's starting to really come together where I can feel myself playing actual music and not just noodling the pentatonics. Here's something I've been puzzled by for a while but haven't tried: alternate tunings. Pardon my stupidity but wtf is that all about????? We spend all this time trying to unlock the guitar fretboard learning chord shapes and patterns and then you're telling me we throw all that out the window by fucking with the strings??? How does that work exactly?
  6. Grown men celebrating their birthday should be grounds for impeachment or at least a kidney stone
  7. Trump's other ear right now
  8. The motherfucking rapist is literally ON TAPE saying "and when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything." And millions of (white) women voted for this demon.
  9. 100% but they are all obviously citing from the same source, Michael Wolff's Epstein interviews on tape. None of this is new, but most of it absolutely was ignored by Big Media during the campaign despite Trump repeatedly using the Epstein case as a campaign issue for his base. I mean, jfc, just imagine the media environment if there was real world actual AUDIO TAPE of Epstein saying the words "I was Joe's closest friend for ten years."
  10. No it isn't It's this https://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/donald-trump-rape-lawsuit-dropped-230770
  11. that 2008 team, aging as it was, would have been a playoff team in today's format
  12. I'm gonna put that on a shirt
  13. Hunter should pound his chest every time he gets Adildo out
  14. yep, put him on base but not the easy way.
  15. That's been a source of confusion for me as well. The Daily podcast interviewed a former camper from Dallas, Erin Paisan, about her time as a camper at Camp Mystic and at one point she is asked by Michael Barbaro if they were ever taught to see the river as something dangerous. She says something along the lines of being more afraid of intruders coming across the river (as a function of horror movies in the 70's/80's most likely) and that the camp took the safety and security of those girls extremely seriously, such that they had a night watchman posted on the river in a chair every night armed with a shotgun. Of course, she is recounting an experience decades old so I'm not sure how that compared to more recent years, but you have to assume they always had someone watching over the camp at night. Right???? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/podcasts/the-daily/camp-mystic-texas-flood.html
  16. Shoulda gone on Rogan.
  17. No question whatsoever that Kerr County officials royally failed to protect the citizens of the county and the visitors on one of the busiest weekends of the year, but imo not enough attention is being given to the decisive actions of the operators at Camp Mo, who evacuated everyone in advance and likely saved many lives in doing so.
