That’s not wrong, but in this case, PlatformIO isn’t showing these ads, bit [dot] ly is. AFAIK, only bitly gets the ad money.

Until she crawls out for a presidential run in 2028…

Now, that’s not fair. Come on!

They also protest-non-voted for:

• Gestapo in every city
• A federal war on transgendered individuals
• Tariffs on everything and prices skyrocketing
• Corruption the likes of which we’ve never seen
• Firing a sizeable portion of the federal workforce
• Cutting healthcare for those most at-risk
• Gutting education and science
• Rolling back environmental regulations and speed-running climate change
• and more!

Was ST: Generations set in Space Mexico? I’m just now realizing that so many of the scenes are so yellow

It’s the VSCode IDE that does it, it seems.

Ugh…

Whattt? You mean you didn’t like it either when they turned it in to “We have Harry Potter at home” ?

always assumed that they were saying “I am the sun, I am the air.” Y’know, cause they’re magical.

In the original by The Smiths and the Love Spit Love cover (used in the show), the lyrics are both officially “son” and “heir”, but the way they chopped up the song for the theme, they very well could have played on those being homophones such that the “theme” lyrics actually are “sun” and “air”.

Basically backing up the premise of the show which was balancing magic and life.

I am the sun and the air [I'm magical]
I am human and I need to be loved [I'm also a person with a life]

At least that was always my take. Though I’d heard the original Smiths version before the show aired.

OTOH, The Craft ALSO used the Love Spit Love cover but without chopping it up, so maybe they assumed “sun” and “air” like most of us.

Paper Dolls in English

Let me state it as a parable: If the building was on fire and someone was blocking the fire exit, but I managed to escape by shattering a 2nd floor window, yes, I would be mad at the person blocking the exit.

And more so: This was, very much, a clear and present danger. As we are all experiencing now. None of what is happening now is a surprise. Yet those people still refused to help or lift a finger to prevent it.

Doesn’t matter.

There was a clear and present danger that everyone with two brain cells to rub together was trying to prevent, and these people were actively standing in the way.

I’m a salt mine over this.

I like that expression.

People are dying, poor families with disabled children are losing healthcare, trans people are under federal attack, science and education is being gutted, and on and on

According to the people we’re both salty at, that’s apparently an acceptable price to pay to “teach the Dems a lesson”. (That was one of the most common reasons they’d give last year, and yep, I’m still salty about that too).

But at least they saved Palestine ¯_(ツ)_/¯

We could have done that last November, but some people decided it was better to single-issue abstain / protest vote / spread FUD / otherwise get in the way. Yes, I’m still salty about that.

1 is “Gladiator”

4 is “Black Swan”

9 is “Office Space”

10 is “Harry Potter” (which I’ve actually never seen, but I do recognize Delores Umbridge from other memes)

“Wear a human suit to hide your weird real self”

And Congress authorized a war…when, exactly?

Lol, of course. I need to do a re-watch.

I’ve heard that before but cannot place it. What is that from?

Aside from mentioning the reconciliation process (which I agree could have been included), that’s not even close to actual journalism. It might fly on from one of the talking heads spewing endless opinions shows on cable, but reputable outlets do not “report” that way.

Quality outlets also do not (or should not, anyway) point blame in such a brazen manner. They should report the facts and list some potential effects of those, but they shouldn’t tell you how to feel or sink into the petty bickering of the subject matter.

I’m old-school and grew up before the plague of 24-hour cable news and worked for two different newspapers, so I’m, I guess, a little more sensitive to the sensationalist crap that gets called “news” these days. I guess what I’m saying is that this article passes my “sniff test”.

For best results, it depends on the context.

For example, when I’m dealing with people who cannot (or refuse) to do the simplest of tasks, I’ve found myself muttering “ugh, just read the instructions I wrote you troglodyte”.
