@ImNotOwned the guardrails have become prison bars that make the regular order of business impossible and create strong perverse incentives for members of congress while at the same time unduly empowering the executive out of necessity

@NatPurser We need to tell JLG that Bowser would be TOTALLY OWNED if she came out in support of congestion pricing. And mcduffie will probably propose subsidies for solo car commuters or something.

@BrianMerris @nikicaga Yeah I think the big fuck up was letting his disgust at Robert’s callousness about killing rhaegar’s kids drive a wedge between them- had he stayed on the council from the jump things wouldn’t have ended up where they did

@metr0politics I’d argue this definitely would more absurd war than Vietnam if it gets to that point

I’ve generally abided by the principle that if called to serve I would, but this has got to be a war as absurd about Vietnam and the urge to just say “fuck it” and finally just go back to India is high
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism

🚨WTF: Karoline Leavitt refuses to rule out INITIATING A DRAFT to send Americans to fight in Iran! “It’s not part of the current plan right now… but the president… wisely keeps his options on the table.” Translation: they won’t even promise your kids aren’t next.

@ImNotOwned The “only in downtown” and the “everywhere but downtown” people should be made to fight to the death for the entertainment of the city

@torinthestorm @SupposeIRose @sunfyred Yeah it makes sense, and funny enough had rhaegar not incited it to happen when it did they probably would’ve achieved a settlement (and given rhaegar regency over his father)

For better or worse and even though it doesn’t feel right it is kind of a fact in ASOIAF that most nobles do tend to marry into vassals rather than like marrying other great houses

Regardless of what one thinks about the validity or use of an electoral tactic, surely deploying it over a conflict where tens of thousands are dying is a bit different than deploying it because a white man won a senate nomination over a black woman
The United States versus Elon R. Musk@Needle_of_Arya

Funny how when Black folks take a page out of the DSA handbook and go "uncommitted," "3rd-party," leave the top line of the ballot blank, or stay home in protest, (especially white) DSAs get mad. If "earn my vote" is the new thing now, then Black folks also get to do it.

@shay_sweatt @nikicaga Why do you think you know better than the family of the deceased who to invite to the funeral?

@progress2trees @nikicaga Absolutely, because he had never met Rev Jesse Jackson, he was not there to give his condolence he was there to figure out a way to get the Black vote without campaigning for it. Shameful.

Y’all, come on. I used to work for an opera company. My checks—which I needed to pay rent—bounced more than once. Glib phrasing aside, Timothée Chalamet is right: very few people care about opera. It sucks, but that’s reality.
The Hollywood Reporter@THR

American opera singer Isabel Leonard responds to Timothée Chalamet: “Honestly, I’m shocked that someone so seemingly successful can be so ineloquent and narrow-minded in his views about art while considering himself as [an] artist as I would only imagine one would as an actor... Only a weak person/artist feels the need to diminish in fact the VERY arts that would inspire those who are interested in slowing down, to do exactly that.” hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…

@belladonnafeli @AegonDayne Wait this actually brings something up- does Dany have an accent in the common tongue inflected with free cities Valyrian? Would make sense given her childhood

@torinthestorm @SupposeIRose @sunfyred Yeah could’ve been leading into a sort of Barons Revolt type thing (which would’ve been the outcome of the Arryn/Stark southron ambitions theory)

@SupposeIRose @sunfyred Theres a theory several of the great houses seeing Aerys and many other targaryen monarchs occasional "eccentricities" were trying to set up something like a Parliament. So more like trying to strengthen it by patching up some holes.

@downtheline18 @seungity_ @Etanarachel The fact that there is no slur in the English language for white people that is anywhere close to the equivalent slurs for black people or even other minority groups is evidence of systemic racism. If society had less of that, coprolalics would be able to shout slurs at us all

@schicchi_gianni @billybinion @Ecclesiasticu12 It’s about how many people are engaging with the form. If you think the audience compromised of everyone who has ever seen an opera is anything more than several orders of magnitude less than the equivalent for film you’re in denial.
