@perpetua First two seasons were good, this was a huge leap. You could tell because they didn't feel the need to throw a graphic sex scene at us in every episode to keep our interest.

The “September 20, 2024” writers room desperately scrambling to top “black nazi/political journalist sexting with presidential candidate/Trump blaming possible November loss on the Jews.”

[Liddle' Jeff Salamon @JeffSalamon]

Good luck, September 20, 2024. You've got some pretty big shoes to fill.

Wait, the @CentralParkFive pled guilty?

@chayesmatthew The version I’m looking at says “authoritarian,” not “fascist.” Did they change it?

@CautiousLefty I haven't met a single Democrat who feels bittersweetly about this. Most of us didn't really vote for Biden in the primary—we voted for, essentially, the only Democrat we were given the option of voting for. He's been an excellent president, but another term was a ridiculous ask.

So the real special guest was the social media trends we made along the way.

@cd_hooks Because of the way the clip is cut off I can't really tell -- is he just joking, poking a little fun at right-wing obsessions of yesteryear, or is he legit proposing this? I can't imagine him poking fun at his own movement, but this is just so dumb.

@evan7257 @cd_hooks it didn't feel short.

@kentucker @rocksbackpages The first side of the album (the original vinyl issue) is just amazing.

@ffx_wave @TheStalwart Good point (and funny), but still: France and Britain alone have more medals combined than US. If you were to add in Italy, Germany, Netherlands, etc. … I dunno seems like they could come out ahead, even with the limitation you’re emphasizing.

@unherd @Musa_alGharbi “ With respect to the Democrats, Harris’s candidacy marks only the second time in US history that a woman or a non-white person was at the top of the ticket for one of the top two political parties.”

Uhm, isn’t it the 4th time? Obama, Obama, Hillary?

@sidhubaba Freak.

@postdiscipline I like Brown, too, but in don’t see how Dems can afford to give up an Ohio Senate seat.

[Liddle' Jeff Salamon @JeffSalamon]

@wallacepeen @GentleDoofus This take is exactly right.
