@JimVejvoda I am still not ok with the cancellation of Awake after that amazing first season. Also, not a season 2 setup, but Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles and of course Hannibal all had crazy unfulfilled cliffhangers as finales.

@JamesGLeckie @xpostfactoid I don't really think you can "finish the job" until & unless you create a real public option that's open to everybody, and I don't believe that Biden will be the one to deliver that. Rightly or wrongly, Biden is not prioritizing the creation of a PO.

@xpostfactoid @CodeNameD57 We were pleasantly surprised by the lack of shenanigans hereabouts! (Although - the fat lady ain't sang yet.) Advocates did a ton of work, both with legislators and the community, to build a narrative of inevitability

My buddies tab after a day party at Encore Beach Club over MDW ... pent up demand is very very real and Vegas is back. Makes me question why I’m not long $WYNN.

@booritoboo @supernova3112 @NaeKhen @IlerLex @WholesomeMeme I took a Deaf Culture class in college and you can imagine my surprise when I first heard about the cochlear implant controversy. The thing is, the controversy makes perfect sense and is genuinely understandable once you hear it out. No easy answer to it, really.

@xpostfactoid Were there any shenanigans beforehand of GOP electeds trying to thwart this? Seems wild to me that the state just...implemented expansion per the voters, esp. in a world where other Republicans in other states are just ignoring these initiatives.

[Leans to the Left @CodeNameD57]

Holy shit that last sentence wtf.

[Leans to the Left @CodeNameD57]

@TheEricGoldman I mean but the clip in question does look unbelievably stupid & does not reflect highly on the movie.

[Leans to the Left @CodeNameD57]

@FreddyInSpace I mean people will be people and I am not pushing anybody to do anything they're uncomfortable with, but the tut-tuting over theater attendance was always bonkers to me personally. Especially now that the official word is that you're safe if you are fully vaxxed.

[Leans to the Left @CodeNameD57]

@FreddyInSpace Imo there is legit no reason to be concerned about going to a theater, nor was there good reason to *ever* be concerned about going to theaters. Throughout entire pandemic there was never a single outbreak traced to a theater, so wtf gives with all the theater-going reluctance?

@mattyglesias I mean, I've been consistently saying that Democrats at this point are just inevitably going to begin ignoring obviously bullshit Court decisions.

[Leans to the Left @CodeNameD57]

@mattyglesias I mean I'm down if it means us folks in the US get access to Greenland's health care system. Otherwise the folks in Greenland will cry to GTFO the moment even one of them gets his first medical bill.

@TheEricGoldman I thought the Snyder Cut was a masterpiece but really did not enjoy Army of the Dead much at all. A direct sequel to the OG Snyder Cut Dawn of the Dead would've been better imo.

Frantically refreshing for Supreme Court decisions every few days to see if I & millions of others get to keep our health insurance. We shouldn’t have to live like this.

[Leans to the Left @CodeNameD57]

@voxdotcom I have precisely zero interest in this movie and will probably never actually watch it lol.

[Leans to the Left @CodeNameD57]

@Zippy_McAwesome @IGN Looking at my Blu Ray and I just have the normie 3 disc version. It says that it's an Extended Cut, which seems like semantics to me. IDK to the extent that there's a mythical Snyder Cut of Sucker Punch I've always just thought it already exists bc of the Blu Ray.

[Josh Barro @jbarro]

It damages the NYT’s reputation to have a key reporter on the most important story of the year say a valid news angle shouldn’t be discussed because it has “racist roots.” Aren’t they supposed to be in the news business?
