The secret ingredient is crime. The casinos were fronts for money laundering and “failed” on purpose as part of the scam.

They’re still in the first stage of grief.

Inspired by yesterday’s Jeff Geerling video, were we?

Yep, exactly. Actually-dense urban areas don’t need huge signs designed to be viewed from hundreds of feet away inside a moving car.

You do realize the pic is of the suburbs, right? An actually-dense urban area doesn’t have tons of signs that are huge because they’re designed to be read from inside of a moving car, you know.

I suddenly understand why suburbanites hate cities: they see the shitty, car-dependent sprawl around them and assume that an urban lifestyle must be like that, but “more,” when in reality it’s entirely different.

Pretty much no voters, not even most liberal or leftist ones, actually gave enough of a shit about Palestine to have been single-issue voters on that topic.

The Democrats lost because:

1. They did fuck-all to meaningfully reduce inequality or help the working class and tried to gaslight us about the economy being good because the rich people’s line was going up instead.

2. Their rhetoric about the danger of Trump and Project 2025 was both weak and not backed up by action to stop it. Biden couldn’t even be bothered to appoint people who would stop DeJoy’s sabotage of mail-in ballots, for fuck’s sake, let alone vigorously and expeditiously prosecute Trump for his coup attempt and myriad other crimes. The Democrats’ noses were so far up the asses of their plutocratic corporate donors that, even though the threat was very real, they couldn’t being themselves to treat it seriously and thus lacked credibility.

Personally I think we should lean into this.

Absolutely not. Haven’t you ever heard of Poe’s Law? Or the “Big Lie,” for that matter?

Repeating it to mock it would only transform into endorsing it sincerely.

LOL, not a chance unless you were straight-up absent that whole time.

I feel like using that quote as a “MAGAntra” is an insult to Adam Savage.

I’ve got good news and bad news:

The good news is, if it gets to that point you won’t have to pay your mortgage anymore.

The bad news is, some gang leader/warlord will commandeer your house.

Why have I never noticed until this moment that that character is a mouse and not a koala?

I would ask for a rule that titles have to specify which Georgia the article is talking about, 'cause this legitimately could’ve been about people in Atlanta protesting Trump/Musk/Cop City/etc., but I suppose such an article would be removed for violating Rule 1 (“Not United States Internal News”).

I honestly believe Stephan Pastis is a better and more insightful satirist than anything you would see on (for example) The Daily Show.

I might even agree, but I want to add that that’s damn high praise because The Daily Show is no slouch either.

More like bro does know that none of that stuff meaningfully moved the needle for the working class. If it had, there wouldn’t have been a winning margin of voters rejecting Harris for Trump and citing the economy as the reason!
