@Srirachachau I think enthusiasm of the base is also important to attract voters outside the base. But turnout in blue areas is extremely high, I think she has turned out the base. He has too and there is evidence moderates have drifted right. No simple answers with this one

@girlwithatail I work in tax law and it's so incredibly frustrating. They designed the law to give them another chance to "cut" by extending it before an election, or make democrats "raise taxes" by letting it expire. Ofc they made corporate rate cuts permanent but useful stuff temporary.

@EricCamden12 @brettsperminute Honestly, you're going to need like at least 10, 11 years of radio production classes from Nassau County Community College to even start to understand luffs

@girlwithatail I can't believe how spot on some of the older actors are. The 3 people playing Lila you could easily convince me are the same person at different ages, and same with Greco but the oldest actor is not as uncanny and looks aged up to me.
English

@girlwithatail Yes! I think most of the casting of old versions is miraculously good, but Nino definitely looks 10 years older than everyone else. I guess his lifestyle prematurely ages him?

@johnlevenstein @girlwithatail I think this is one of the best shows ever made and an impossible good book adaptation. It is surprising to me that I don't see more discussion of it. Also a genuine contender for the best score of any movie or tv show ever from Max Richter

@blizaine @pika_labs This is like being James Cameron but if instead of having creativity and artistic drive that led him to make terminator, he just took some movie that already existed and recycled it into static scenes without any purpose or narrative

@heathercampbell I got Toronto tickets! Not the closest show to where I live but one of my favorite places to visit. I figure it's the first stop on the North American tour so there's a better chance they won't have broken up yet

@NickCiparro @CeliaFateEsq @scottpwaldman He's indicted for multiple crimes committed in and out of office. You would have to be a fucking idiot to think this didn't happen. You know it's true you just don't care
English

@CeliaFateEsq @scottpwaldman False. To even pretend this could happen with the amount of scrutiny Trump has as president is idiotic.

NEW: Two former Trump White House officials told me they had to show voter data to Trump to get him to release disaster funding to CA wildfire victims. He released it after learning that he had as many GOP supporters in Orange Co. as he did in Iowa. eenews.net/articles/helen…

Britain is so cool, everytime you see a name and ask “are they related to…” the answer is always yes

@MarmotRespecter Not so fun fact: 9/11 is further in the past from now than WW2 was from 9/11

@Gannon_144 @jasonselvig I can't explain why but you can just tell that whoever made this picture is very attracted to Kamala

@qunzter @zerochills I routinely see cops put sirens on to go through a light or avoid traffic, so I wouldn't just assume they were responding to an emergency. Also railroads sure generally federally regulated so I don't know the law but cops might not legally be allowed to run them
English

@zerochills They were on duty, sirens on.
They have the right to violate traffic laws because that is their job.

@karunpal Lol "introverts want to raise the intensity and stakes of social interactions" GTFO of here

@KTLA Sucks that he can't afford gas. If only his father had like $200 million, then he could probably afford it

@dieworkwear Where do you even get ties that are like straight 5/4" sticks?

Walz's tailoring is pretty mediocre, but it's not nearly as bad as RFK's. IMO, the more defining quality is that he looks good in his casualwear. I've been recommending things such as LL Bean barn coats, Filson Mackinaws, and Red Wing work boots for almost 15 years.
Walz wears these pieces in coherent ways — with jeans, sneakers, and camo caps. The proportions fit and work for his body. Importantly, the style looks authentic on him and not like a put-on.
RFK's tailoring is bad because it doesn't fit and the proportions don't work. Lots of people piling on Walz because he's not thin and/ or doesn't present himself in this generic middle-class way (meaning, when he's in casualwear). I find business casual to be pretty ugly and don't care if someone is big. To me, this is a central disagreement about what style means.
Look at the difference in fit and proportions between photos three and four. IMO, it's more important to get the language right than to conform to some middle-class notion of "respectability" or "presentability."

@PolitiFact Jesus Christ you should not be allowed to work in journalism or politics if you write something this dumb and dishonest

A DNC video showed a 2016 clip of Trump saying "there has to be some form of punishment" for women who have abortions. He walked back the comment the same day. We found no evidence that he currently supports legal penalties for women who have abortions. #Echobox=1724122112-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">politifact.com/factchecks/202…
