Jaxom 1974

The youtuber Little Jax watches sometimes was using ideas culled from Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker to work in some of the theory...at least to show that some writers out there think Tim was capable of being brain washed...

Would not be surprised, depending on where he ends up and how that goes, to see him bumped to second seat if it's Harris leading the ticket in 2024...

It is a mystery. No idea. There really isn't any saving of that film.

Yeaaah...I don’t know anything you just said... I mean, the radio station I listen too apparently uses Twitch now. It dosen't help me. My nice lawn! Why are you all on it!

What the heck is that "Among Us" stuff...? I still only know that Twitch exists, but know not what it is. Get off my lawn!!

C'mon, the Leto Joker is terrible. Maybe not in general motivation, but look and presentation. Mind you, my 10 year old, who had not watched the movie, but watches a lot of YouTube videos of some film theory" guy, is convinced that the Leto Joker is actually the Tim Drake Robin, who we're supposed to think is dead based on clues from BvS...

Oh man, I mentioned in a previous thread seeing some of those Ernst ads when I was over staying on the border a couple weeks ago...those were some of the worst politcal ads ever made. Even for ones meant to scare people...

Been a slow read...mainly due to work getting in the way...but a little over half way through Tyrant and it almost finally feels like the pieces are starting to fit together a bit more...

I didn't realize they were working on a new trilogy...do we know what it was meant to cover?

Covid finally starting to freaky impact the job, which was already impacted...three managers furloughed today, two of which were my department. They were told its until at least July 16th... who the hell furloughs that long and survives? Mind you, I'm not sure I'll not be furloughed at Thanksgiving once the semester ends...

I think you start by making certain he did vote. Whether you push beyond that is based on how he reacts to the first question... As to Ivanka, I've suggested it before and will continue to do so, but if Trump is reelected, he'll push Pence out before the summer and nominate Ivanka to take the VP slot...

Problem is...Warren, Klobuchar, Duckworth, Baldwin...those are all the kinds of women the Cabinet and the Country likely needs...but I get your point.

He did indicate he'd talk more on a topic or two since they had to move on. Goof to see that he actually did that...

That he finishes each time by at least acknowledging he hoped to have answered the question directly to the person who asked...

It's truly remarkable. He isn't a perfect candidate (who is?), but to see somone who knows what he speaks of.

What's the early prognostication of the Republican field in 2024? Haley? Cotton? Ivanka? Is there a Republican "rock star" waiting in the wings that would cause other Republicans to pause and think before they'd let Trump back in? You're more likely to see Ivanka try to get the top spot to do the grifting before her dad does in 2024...

That feels like various pieces of other lists...

Exactly. Honestly, the Republicans under Trump are the true RINOs. Trump might not be extreme enough for the Cottons of the party, but he's enough to be the golden cow to which they'll seek to be "better" than, goose step higher than, oppress more than...

It's kinda cute that you think that there are actual factions within the Republican party or that they are going to execute some sort of power struggle for the party's soul post Trump...there isn't a soul. There hasn't been a soul. There is no party but Trump now, even if he isn't on a ballot. The Republican Party is essentially dead as an entity.

Bubbler is a Wisconsin thing and really only a Wisconsin thing. Wisconsinites be weird.

I don't hate Discovery. I find it's premise and story to be out of place and not really Trek. Like JJs stuff, at best, it's an alternate universe in my head.

Why can't it be both? Encouraging and yet rage inducing? Be upset that Georgia Republicans have set this system up to generate 10 to 12 hour long lines to vote, yet exult that those meant to be discouraged the most are still standing in those lines, refusing to give in to those who seek to take away their voice. Be irritated with the national media coverage painting this attempt at voter suppression in such a positive light because so many people are waiting in line despite the waiting, while not putting enough focus on the suppression. But also take heart in those representations that are showcasing so many who are bright, encouraged, and motivated to vote despite the suppression. At the moment, people seem to want to exercise their right to vote despite the odds stacked against them.

Seriously...spent the weekend on the Illinois/Iowa border and this got a stomach full of Iowa political ads. The stuff being sun against Greenfield were some of the worst ads I've seen yet this year...

Shit. Can I just switch Claypool in this week anyway...

Possible Covid plays... If needed: Gore for Singletary Dobbins for Henry Mayfield for Allen And may God have mercy on our souls...
