To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

This was my Picard/3 lights moment 5th grade the teacher gave us this question Everyone except me got it wrong, including her She got the whole class to "explain" it to me Math is just logic, there is no ambiguity, I could not see their answer Then she assigned a girl to take me aside and lecture me Most Soviet experience of my life, including my north Korea trip At parent/teacher conference she told my folks that she thought about it later that night and realized I was right Never said anything to me or apologized in front of the class In a free society she would have been put against the wall for doing what she did to a kid

What is the oldest political news story you can remember? For me it's Joe Biden being selected as Obama's VP.

He’ll still have a food truck. It just won’t be capital. What’s wrong with that?

Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?" @mattyglesias: "Probably more than I intended to." Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat." Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair." Me: "Why?" Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me."

As a preview of how serious this is: One of the men claims they were underage… and the Senator filmed them.

long covid is hilarious because all the evidence we have says that it exists and not only does it exist but it’s extremely widespread and serious and yet we collectively refuse to acknowledge this reality because the bottom would fall out of the stock market if we did

Thinking about if Dennis Dixon never got injured in the 2007 season

Unpopular Opinion: If we can’t openly and calmly — without character assassination attempts and smears — talk about whether a gubernatorial candidate or her mother is the one lying, then we have a massive problem. Court records exist if there was a conviction for abuse. Cases involving custody often involve abuse and other grotesque claims — somewhere in the ballpark of 50 percent of contested divorces and custody cases. Family law attorneys routinely brief and coach their clients on how to gain an advantage using carefully crafted stories and constructed claims — there’s always a victim and a villain on both sides of the story. If we cannot talk about that without being guilted, shamed or defamed when we’re not the ones in the story (here, Acton, her brother, father, mother and stepfather), we are doing it wrong and have no legitimate claim to “vetting” the history or present M.O. of a candidate. This is not a claim that dropped 15 days before an election. Donna Arthur said all of this on the record in June 2020 — six years ago — when her daughter was Ohio’s health director, not a candidate for governor. She disputed the hardship story then. She said then that her daughter learned early that lying worked. She said then that she worried Amy was positioning herself for higher office. Acton resigned from ODH eight days after that interview published. AND LET’S BE VERY CLEAR HERE: The people saying they’re offended by this — David Pepper, the Acton campaign, the Democrats, progressives and even Republicans — publish accusatory propaganda all the time about the people and movements they identify as their ideological opponents. Candidates and campaigns routinely try to smear private citizens — Acton’s camp in particular, several times this cycle (both directly and indirectly). The difference here is that Acton is not a private citizen. She is a candidate who has been caught in several lies in this campaign alone. So I ask: What’s the standard?

The Norm MacDonald documentary is terrible. They’ve totally cucked him. In choosing to construct it out of the most normie content of Norm’s cult YouTube videos they’ve destroyed the draw of those very videos. They treat him as a cult icon of all comedians in the beginning and somehow don’t include his 9/11 content, his holocaust denying ventriloquist dummy, his announcing that Andy Richter is a heterosexual fan of gay porn on Conan in the 90s, his homeless bum stories. They do the Hitler’s dog bit… I’ve been watching Norm clips since 2017. If this was my introduction to him I’d look down at him as overhyped and lame. As corny and uninteresting. The appeal of Norm is of an unsuspecting stranger saying the most unexpected yet well timed and hysterically genius comment in the corner of a bar. Messing with you and wasting your time for fifteen minutes. This doesn’t capture him at all. Just YouTube Norm on your own for two hours, which incidentally is the entire structure of the movie.

If overall turnout is below 60%, then I think there is a chance we can win this. There are unquestionably 900,000 Independence supporters in this province. They would crawl over broken glass to vote.

Before the votes are tallied, I wanted to be clear about something that they're going to try and take from us. The definition of victory. If as much as 25% elect for option 2 on the only question that matters... this is not a win for "remain." It's a victory for independence. 1/4 of the province (of which had doubled in size since this bs immigration scheme) is on board with cutting ties. That's not 2 crazy dudes in Didsbury. That's every 4th person. Maybe we won't get to further the process... but we will get to make our point clear: a huge chunk of us are so dissatisfied with the present status quo that we want to walk away from it all. From this day forth, politicians will see that number on the page and know that it they don't find a way to bring those people into the discussion, they've lost them. Don't let them redefine victory and marginalize our struggles. But of course, I want option 2 to pass.

mfers mad bc I said $150k at 30 is brokie I want $150k/mo profit and I just turned 27 to each their own but (my goal is better 😘 )
