  1. And it wasn't wasn't just any bite... it was a bite from a rabid monster w/ a filthy mouth full of all sorts of flesh eating bacteria that led to the amputarion of the bitten limb but that wasn't enough and it led to septicaemia and death!
  2. The trailer I saw had one of the Ds saying something along the lines of, "book fans will have a few surprises". Once bitten and all that, I'm gonna wait for the whole 1st series to drop and then I'll see how people feel/think about it and then I'll decide whether to give it a go.
  3. All conservative justices get on a plane to go to some conference and the plane crashes and burns. ETA: alternatively, not to count on a fateful accident, reform SCOTUS. What’s the thing I keep hearing about that there are 9 justices b/c that’s how many appeals courts there were but now it’s 13?
  4. What the actual fuck, b/c just WTAF wouldn’t be enough. When I think the republicans can’t get any worse… https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/03/north-carolina-primary-results-mark-robinson-governor.html
  5. Nah, different targets same dumb fanfic.
  6. Monty Python's Flying Circus begs to differ. (not really a sitcom, I know...)
  7. It was very creepy, reminded me of The Stepford Wives.
  8. That’s just a cut of a much longer segment looking into these types of voters. There are lots of them around. Another woman they talked to said she’d never vote for Haley for instance b/c she’s not only a woman but “probably menopausal” and that’s dangerous. That’s the mentality of a portion of the electorate, it’s a fact. Even the woman who criticises Trump says she’ll vote for him b/c… reasons.
  9. That’s just how republicans celebrate Women’s Day, it’s one of their most enduring fantasies. It makes perfect sense when you think that this bloke is not a lone, solitary republican voter.
  10. No, incognito and logged in, Samsung galaxy though I’m not sure which one…
  11. Also, the 431 thing still happens on ipad when VPN is on, no idea if this is pertinent.
  12. @Ran just as an update, the 431 thing is gone when on ipad or PC - safari and Chrome. But persisted on phone (android) even after clearing everything, restarting Chrome etc. After feeling pretty frustrated I decided to try going incognito and it hasn't happened since.
  13. I suppose it depends on how congress approved it. Are there methods of approving things like aid other than passing bills? A bill can be vetoed, but I have no idea whether there are other mechanisms that wouldn’t be subjected to a presidential veto.
  14. Gotcha. Wouldn’t it work differently depending on how the congress approved it? Like, if it’s a bill the president can veto it, right? And then congress can override the veto? But I have no idea if something like this, approved aid, would be passed on a bill or by some other mechanism?
  15. Yeah, that’s what I meant and failed to express properly. He threatened to withhold stuff that had gone through congress already if Zelensky didn’t say they were looking into Biden regardless of whether there was an actual investigation or not. And then he was impeached for abuse of power and… I wanna say some type of obstruction charge? That’s what I remember, but hey, I barely remember what I had for breakfast today, so take it with a bucket of salt!
  16. Didn’t he threaten that as a way to twist Ukraine’s arm into “finding” dirt on Biden? Weren’t there 2 charges, abuse of power and something else?
  17. I just rewatched it a few weeks back and feel exactly the same way, I liked it even more the 2nd time around. Great fun.
  18. Great job on the SotU. Repugs will not be happy. I particularly enjoyed Kavanaugh’s landscape look and Robert’s sad face when Biden had a dig at SCOTUS. And dem reps and senators and cabinet members did their part, too. And Mike Johnson nodding along behind Biden!
  19. They were at the very least more creative and more… egalitarian since they had targets from all houses and more!
  20. I don’t remember who said or how they phrased it, but it’s something like, “you’re entitled to your own opinions but not to your own facts”. It’s just that so many don’t agree w/ that, both here and irl. Yeah, it can be funny! Sort of like watching the coyote in the Roadrunner cartoon run off that cliff again and again and never learn!
  21. Yeah, I got that, hence my comment on… other internet spaces. I’m gonna leave it there.
  22. And then you found out Insta reels is genius level stuff.
  23. I said necessary, not inevitable. There’s a difference. Wasn’t the American Revolutionary War an uprising against the tyranny of a king/monarchy? People can debate whereas it was necessary but it certainly wasn’t inevitable.
