Then why specifically the superintendent? Even if this was a bullying issue with an unsatisfactory conclusion, there's no way he would have engaged with the superintendent of the district without engaging with the principal first. They would both have failed to resolve the problem, so why would he have gone after the superintendent specifically and left the principal there to shake his daughter's hand?

And, of course, the other issue is, even if that was true, that doesn't make what he did OK. He's marginally less shitty by virtue of not being openly racist, but he still made sure that his daughter's last memory of high school is him getting arrested for assaulting the district superintendent and embarrassing her in front of the entire graduating class and their families.

You should watch the movie. It's all kinds of fun.

So, we eat the cops as a side dish when we eat the rich, right?

XP actually wasn't great on release, though I don't know anybody who clung to ME, considering it was itself a huge dumpster fire. It wasn't until SP1 hit that XP got really good.

Most of us were just riding out 98SE as long as we could until MS got their shit together. Some people had 2000, but it wasn't really a consumer-class OS; it was meant more for the enterprise.

At the rate we're going, this is what Windows 12 will look like.

I always looked at Team America as a satire of right wing thought. Basically the Bush worldview taken to comical extremes.

I know Parker and Stone are lolbertarians, but they managed to actually skewer the right pretty well back in the day.

And what chance do you think the Democrats are going to have to reform after Donald Trump undoes the entire democratic process and proclaims himself president for life?

He's not going to go away quietly. We know this. He proved it on 1/6, and he's outright saying it out loud again now. Stop pretending he's just another politician. He's a wannabe despot, and we need to not give him another chance to become an actual one.

Look, Biden is garbage. The Democrats are garbage. But at least they're garbage that play by the fucking rules. If Trump wins, I honestly do not believe we are going to get another chance at this.

THEN STOP WALKING INTO THEIR FUCKING JAWS

You're preaching to the choir here. Biden is shit. But, again, at least I know he'll go away in 4 years. Trump is going to try his damnedest not to. He already fucking tried once. And frankly, the fact that it's been four years and he's free to try again is proof enough the courts aren't doing enough to stop him. There's a reason they've been pushing all this stuff until after election.

Open your eyes and stop pretending Trump is normal. In nearly 250 years that this country has existed, nobody has tried to pull the shit he's tried to pull, and he will try it again.

A quote from the novel Feat of Clay by Terry Pratchett, courtesy https://bsky.app/profile/rincewind.run/post/3knjfwp442b2g

"Commander, I always used to consider that you had a definite anti-authoritarian streak in you.”

“Sir?”

“It seems that you have managed to retain this even though you are authority.”

“Sir?”

“That’s practically zen."

I swear, these are the best worst ads I've ever seen

Tweet text:

Around 2003 in Chile, when the original trilogy of Star Wars began airing on television there, they did this funny thing to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. They stitched the commercials into the films themselves. Here is one of them, with the English dub added in.

Edit: Yes, it's real, and it's spectacular.

 

Thanks for the memories, Stinger

 
 
 
 

I just don't get people who say X-Men wasn't "woke" until recently. It never even tried very hard to hide the metaphors...
