@JackPosobiec It’s peak 90’s but I still to this day can’t get past the whole “load a human made computer virus into an alien ship” thing.

Thank God they never tried to milk a sequel out of ID4

Independence Day will always be a top tier film. It won’t age. You can hear the score when you close your eyes. The creak of the alien ships. The cries of the pilots. “I can’t shake him!” “You can’t bank at that speed!” Face it. It’s a masterpiece.

@MattWalshBlog Honestly don't get this take. Newborns just eat, poop, and sleep. It's as easy as it gets. The problems you get into once the kids are older are far more complex.
English
I have kids ranging from toddlers to teenagers and I still think the newborn phase (especially for a first time parent) is the hardest by far. I remember being a younger parent and hearing older parents constantly whine about how much harder it gets. Turns out they were exaggerating for attention and pity. Parenting gets A LOT easier over time. Your kids get more mature and so do you. That’s how it should work if you’re doing it right anyway.

When fresh parents think this way🤣🤣🤣

If this is how the Republican Party treats the libertarian-leaning lawmakers in its midst, then libertarians should take note and act accordingly.

@shipwreckedcrew So much of the discourse from the Libertarian/Free Speech absolutist crowd is pretending not to understand that the Constitution establishes a clear framework for creating laws, and allows the govt to enforce them at gunpoint if need be.
English
Congress passed a law.
If Piker or others are charged, they can challenge the law in court.
Glenn Greenwald@ggreenwald
What right does the US Govt have to ban its citizens from visiting certain countries or dictating to them that various hotels, stores, malls, etc. are criminally banned? And what's the justification for investigating Hasan and Medea Benjamin but not Nick Shirley's Cuba trip?
English
@PaulTassi Not sure how Marathon would feel any "wrath". They've got their own (small) dedicated playerbase.
English
the fury that's about to come down on Marathon, which has been underperforming Destiny 2 in its worst content draught in history
BEG@BasedEscapeGod
@PaulTassi that’s what you get for hating on marathon so much
English
@MattWalshBlog Came to this conclusion years ago. 99% of what you see as a tourist isn't really the culture...no matter how far off the beaten path you think you are going.
English
This kind of “traveling” is overrated. Tourist destinations are all the same. A resort in Florida is like a resort anywhere else. These kinds of people think they’ve “seen the world” but they’ve seen less of the world than someone who reads books instead.
English
@PaulTassi @kylerridesagain Well, FWIW I’ve been reading your articles since the D1 days (if memory serves). You are a smart guy. Adapt. Overcome. Oh, and own things…because that’s how you get ahead in the new economy.
English
@kylerridesagain The other hard part of this is knowing that if it did all go away I would have 50,000 people here dancing on my corpse, which is such a great feeling
English
yeah
it might just be over. like my whole industry
I don't really know where to go from here. How do you exist in an ecosystem that takes all your work and gives you nothing in return

@PaulTassi @AnCastel_ And I thought I was the only one. I’m on try 4.
English
@AnCastel_ I am on my third Warframe try at this point, I just can't do it. I do really like it but it just feels too overwhelming at this point to really dive deep in (as I'm sure many feel/felt about Destiny)
English
I do feel like this a lot. Some of it may be my outlook changing, but I miss when Destiny was a game I *could* do all of that stuff with. It’s just a void now 90% of the time
As a PvP game Marathon just isn’t gonna fill that gap more than occasionally. Games like Crimson are rare and obviously can’t last too long. But yeah regardless nothing is going to beat prime Destiny for that feeling and type of content, I fear
English
@cdrsalamander @johnkonrad Sobering to see how many folks bite off on the ‘term limits’ bait. The failure of the constitution to deal with citizenship is basically like fatal flaw designed in the Death Star but folks in that thread are talking about term limits and balanced budgets. 🤦♂️
English
If you could write one new amendment to the U.S. Constitution, what would it be?
English
@Ike_Saul @howard_wemple Wild. All of these cases minus one never saw the light of day. This isn’t really making your case. In fact, the strongest argument for fraud is the overwhelming incentive to commit it + a voting system that is not verifiable.
English
It has been six years. Every single "stolen election" theory — from 2,000 Mules to servers in Italy to Georgia suitcases — has been debunked, crushed in court, painstakingly explained, and none of these guys ever have the goods cause it's all nonsense to please POTUS. It's embarrassing for Bartiromo that she is still giving this airtime, and anyone who still falls for this chasing the next new reveal needs to get away from their computer.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
BARTIROMO: So you believe there will be a definitive answer as to whether the 2020 election was stolen? TODD BLANCHE: We're looking at it and we hope to get one
English
@AaronCSmith1 @awstar11 Jared Polis and Kathleen Hochul are now all in on school choice because they correctly understand it is welfare. This is how stupid traditional conservatives like Scott Walker are.
English
@MattyPilot @awstar11 Vouchers are a conservative position. He actually kicked public unions in the balls
English
Weird how this has been "hiding in plain sight" for journalists and Democrats while RW commentators and Republicans who've been calling it out for years were vilified and ignored.
Chris Cillizza@ChrisCillizza
The scandal hiding in plain sight is the collapse of American education. And no 2028 candidates -- aside from Rahm Emanuel -- are talking about it.
English
@AaronCSmith1 @awstar11 Scott Walker’s only policy positions on public education were attacking unions and pushing socialist school vouchers He was a complete joke which is why we are still having this conversation.
English
@MattyPilot @awstar11 Yeah, conservatives like Scott Walker just popped up in the last decade
English
@PeterAPatriot @AndrewKolvet He's media savvy. That's a plus. Other than that...his campaign is the most grounded, substance oriented mayoral campaign we've seen in a while.
English
@AndrewKolvet MAGA really did turn politics into reality TV fandom.
Celebrity drama, memes, “main characters,” catchphrases, merch, loyalty tests… half this stuff feels closer to WWE than actual governing.
English
Spencer Pratt is the single best campaigner of his generation, and it’s not particularly close.

@JoshuaLisec Watched it three times....never once picked up on an anti Trump message. Trump wasn't even president when it was filmed. Where do you get this stuff?
English
Rogue One?
Anti-Trump One, you mean.
Did you even watch it?

@baileylikemovie The only StarWars movie made by Disney that didn’t suck was Rouge One. Hopefully this will be the 2nd.

@OwenGregorian I can’t remember the last time I put anything in coffee. Can’t believe people really do this. Why drink the coffee then? Just get a Mountain Dew at that point.
English
Try joining the army and being woken up at 3:30am out in the field, when it is freezing even in summer.
Then someone offers you hot coffee, and there is no creamer except the sh*tty powdered kind of you’re lucky.
You’ll acquire the taste.
Tim Pool@Timcast
how do you people drink black coffee im trying but man i need some cream

@MKnowlesShow @michaeljknowles Too bad it's a false-analogy fallacy. Celebrating a behavioral improvement driven by policy and culture is not logically comparable to a drop in allergies caused by the nuclear destruction of a city.
Try again.
English
"To celebrate that alcohol use among teenagers has dropped so precipitously is sort of like celebrating that peanut allergies declined in Nagasaki in 1945."

English
@MattyPilot @VintageRockN_85 Music For The Masses? Construction Time Again? Speak & Spell? Black Celebration? Some Great Reward?
Which one?
English
@PaulTassi Watched the trailer, and I think I get the hate. Having grown up in the 80's and early 90's....the vibe on this is so off. That's 1986-87. Peak 80's. None of what was shown had any of the sensibility of the 90's. The devs seem not to understand the "source" material.

@wcdispatch @evanwch The woman on the right is going to be heavier than the one on the left six
months after the crash diet and photo shoot. None of this is real.

@evanwch The death of fat culture is not complete yet.
We’re making serious progress though.

Perhaps this is Trump’s greatest accomplishment
