None of his work has stuck with me like From Hell and his work is almost always fantastic

Yes this is the correct take

People HATE this

You could argue this is true of the entire modern socialist movement

There’s no low-cost dopamine-milking mechanism for decent people to vomit out their rage at the swine who rule us so we get this instead. Suboptimal!

It’s genuinely shocking to see how easily standards were shredded in the military

If James Cameron had directed Idiocracy

Even in that metaphor it would be best to show the crew member firsthand how mistaken they were. For the edification of everyone else.

Profit = Revenue - Costs Congrats, you’ve earned a business degree

Organizing for America, which was an outgrowth of the Obama 2008 campaign’s really excellent outreach. Giving up on that as a permanent tool for mobilization has really haunted Democrats.

Well Obama could have encouraged the process by not mothballing OFA rather than hoping another generational talent with good politics would eventually turn up. It was a piece of luck but as I’m sure Mamdani would tell you it’s better to just organize.

“He stoppeth one of three” can someone say trilogy????

Maximum friction. Bring back seedy bookies in half-empty pool halls.

You have to assume that the wandering bards of archaic Greece were 1) of variable talent and 2) prisoners of their audience’s demands, which means there were uncountable poetic adaptations by talentless hacks that flattered local prejudices. The Nolan movie is probably better than lots of those.

Ok hear me out

Lol that’s perfect

I suspect (hope) that the dynamics of the 28 primary will push candidates toward Systematic Retribution as a policy stance. Voters are incandescent with rage and no one wants to hear about bipartisanship.

Yeah a Democratic trifecta is going to have to learn how to work fast and work harsh. Need to elect a few dozen reps and senators who understand the assignment.

I’m pretty some of the first US troops into Dachau lined up and shot some guards which is also a precedent I’m fine with

I too would be frightened of a shambling corpse, fragrant with rot, backed up by the Bumfuck County SWAT team
