my favorite bit is that when friedkin couldn't get the tree explosion scene right he knew exactly who to call

there's no hope for liberalism as a whole but i still (perhaps foolishly) have hope that individual liberals can still learn.

i'm embarrassed to say it took me years and years to learn better myself

you claim not to support netanyahu (and i believe you) but if iran or another govt attacked israel and killed him would you be focusing on netanyahu being an evil man who has oppressed and killed people for decades?

i don't think that necessarily follows. he's probably referring to the fact that we have a lot of military bases and personnel in the region and they expect a significant counterattack from iran

best news i've heard all week

yeah, agreed!

the saying is just words, but the tradition and expectation it reflects is real. i'm not saying you have to agree with the importance of that expectation (it's hardly a universal value among supporters), i'm just saying it does exist.

not far enough! but it's gotten us further than dour and defensive football ever has, and whether you buy into it or not the expectation is clearly there among most spurs supporters.

and pragmatism with poor results is the worst outcome of all

not exactly a "to dare is to do" display today, y'know?

i like frank and i'm all for giving a new manager time, but spurs do have a tradition of attacking football and that doesn't seem to be his vision at all, even if it was working (and it's clearly not!)

it had to be eze, didn't it

They are and have always been the obstacle to real social progress in America.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

i did just a few hours ago when i realized that a little pico was just what my veggie dog needed. it went from mid to delicious with that one change. the power of pico de gallo

When Obama droned al-Awlaki and his kid, a few people asked about due process, and the administration basically responded "well, we have a process" and no one important objected. It was apparent then that we were past the point of no return.

what a ball from richy and a perfect header by sarr

humidifying, dehumidifying, and then? you guessed it, rehumidifying

Palhinha is one of those players who can pull off a perfectly legal, fantastic tackle that nevertheless makes me wince for the other player

as weird as it sounds when we already beat City and smashed West Ham, this win at Elland Road might be the most encouraging result so far

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

“We are indeed going to have to live with each other, barring apocalyptic violence—but we already have been for quite some time, and doing so has not required revisionist history of the sort we are now witnessing about one Charles James Kirk in particular.”

the sequel is also worth a watch!

lmao

it was thoughtful of UEFA to schedule Women's EURO 2025 during lez out july

agreed- it could certainly be a factor, i'm just skeptical of it being the primary driver

this is definitely the case, the campaign has said as much. but how does that support the idea that the voting results are primarily due to an old vs new media divide?

yes, they dominated new media but they were still quite competitive in old media

it was decisive in freeing them up to actually spend on TV, and these voting patterns are better explained by the same generational divides we've been seeing in dem primaries for a long time now than by an old vs new media divide

chart of mamdani's campaign advertising linear tv 73.7% ctv 21.7% google & youtube 4.6%

i don't think the traditional vs new media hypothesis adds up

well, we are talking about a guy who back in 1995 said that once gays could get married and serve in the military that "we should throw a party and close down the gay rights movement for good"
