And yet again, while lying assholes pretend that criticism of Israeli government policy is antisemitism, the real antisemites on the right get a free pass.

Um... yeah. Most of us outside of the media's self-imposed truth filter already knew there's a reason for it - because he's a thin-skinned crybaby.
I've had a copy of it for about ten years now and still haven't watched it.
I plan on it, but I know enough about it that I know I have to be in just the right mood.
It's not that they're truly synonymous but that each also implies the other. If it's true that he's dead, then it's also true that he died and vice versa. So it seems like they mean the same thing because if ypu say one, it can be taken for granted that the other is necessarily also true.
But even that's not 100% - it's possible that "he died" is true but "he's dead" is not, since he might've been revived. That illustrates the fact that they actually each communicate something different - "he died" is an experience through which he went at some point, while "he's dead" is the state he's in right now.
So again, they broadly communicate the same thing since saying one implies the other as well, but they don't actually mean the same thing.
Makes sense.
GAO focuses on actual waste, fraud and abuse.
Republicans prefer DOGE, which focuses on hamstringing investigators and regulatory agencies, blocking funding for science, health and education, and stealing data.
Huh.... I haven't even thought about HiAnime in years. I would've assumed they were long gone.
I'm starting to think that 60 years ago or so, a couple of Harvard students humiliated Trump, and he's never gotten over it.
And the worst part is that that's what he does each and every week, and this past week still stood out.
And that is exactly what they're doing.
This is a fine example of why I say that even the most fiscally conservative libertarians need to promote social spending.
There is no question of whether the federal government is going to balloon the deficit or not - it is. True fiscal conservatism is not going to happen.
The government is going to spend as much money as it can get away with no matter what. So the only meaningful question is who's going to benefit from that spending.
And there are really only two options - ordinary people or rich people. The proletariat or the bourgeoisie.
If you oppose social spending, all you're doing is making it so that the government can and will spend all of that money to benefit rich people instead.
And it really is just that simple.
All of that costs money that we as a society have decided is better spent on more mansions and bigger yachts for executives.
As far as Pokemon goes, I've always been partial to the Team Galactic battle theme from DPPT. And though "catchy" doesn't quite do it justice, the night theme for Jubilife City, also in DPPT, is tremendous. Walking into that city for the first time at night was one of the defining moments of my video game life.
And the Shiver City theme from Paper Mario is unforgettable.
I don't think anything will ever beat Still Alive from Portal though.
How is that even controversial? We all watched it happen in real time.
Harris hit the ground running and she and Walz barnstormed the country with an overtly populist message and it worked - they immediately started catching up to, and even passing Trump. There was a moment there when it looked like he was dead in the water - that nothing was going to stop Harris/Walz.
Then the Dem power brokers reeled her in and, however they managed it, got her to drop the populism and switch to mealy-mouthed, pro-corporate neoliberalism, and it was all downhill from there.
It was just that simple and anyone who was paying attention at the time could see it as it happened.
