“You’re winning too much” is definitely something Jeffries would complain about. Dipshit - you want to take back control of congress, do more than sternly worded emails and tut-tuts.

The problem is that the people in charge of the streaming services are very bad at making TV, because their business model is not the same as TVs business model. TVs business model is: sell ads. Run 24 episodes, every episode, build numbers, keep it going. There’s not much brand loyalty, there’s show loyalty.

Streamers care about one thing: getting you to subscribe. The Witcher is a great example. They got a lot of people to subscribe based on season one. Afterwards, all they might be able to use it to get other people to join, and they do, the real money isn’t getting other people to join who’ve never heard of the show, either by advertising for the Witcher, or by moving onto some other property that has a rabid fan base, adapting it, and getting them to join (see also one piece, avatar, etc.). And when they’re waiting for the next season, they find other shows, and are now subscribers for life, and who cares if the next season is 3 years away… or never comes.

Wow, no dicks?!

Right, because you wanted the experience of feeding the giraffes. That was your benefit from paying the second time. That was entirely optional.

Fort Worth free museums:

• Sid Richardson museum
• Amon Carter
• Kimball (regular collection, which still includes major pieces from Michelangelo, etc)

“New findings suggest that most cases of this phenomenon, which is called non-suppressible viremia, are explained by defective and noninfectious copies of the virus. The research was partially supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health.”*

*While it exists, anyway.

Excellent. Has somewhat of a sci-fi feel, and yes, I’d put it with Civil Service “Dark” as well.

4 are fine with this. Which is terrifying.

I’m getting that more and more. “I asked ChatGPT and it said”. Dude, we work for the same company and I could have typed that in, and maybe I did. I wanted your experience with it, that’s why I asked you.

Make sure they know they just lost input right ms the next time. No, I don’t ask Harry, he just quoted GPT last time, and I’d already asked it this time so there was no reason to involve him. Nothing worse for a lead than people not wanting them to lead because they’ve abdicated the job to spicy autocorrect.

It is WELL worth it, even for people not normally a fan of it.

There are cool backstories like “we ran out of ideas, but this made us pee ourselves laughing so we went that direction since it showed it would work” and for the pope card a description of who the pope is, ending with (paraphrased)“the current pope is some guy named Bob from Chicago”

This is by design and part of Project 2026.

Fuck your feelings, snowflakes - am I doing it right?

And it was just yesterday when The Daily Show talked about how “Trump tours Japan and manages not to do the accent”. Ah, sweet summer children.

No need to demean her looks when there are so many other reasons. The fact that she refused to do her job because of her faith, or that she thought that her beliefs were somehow more important than the people that she refused to help. Ugly down to the bone, a hateful shitbird.

As a cyclist I both love and hate how many separate ones there are

So she thinks (I know, I know) that getting “natural immunity” to COVID protects her from hantavirus? The ivermectin is just the icing on the cake, honestly.

They’re not going to maintain it - they’ll just throw it back to the LLM and say “enhance”.

If you give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest of men, I will find something in them which will hang him.

One of the documents talked about how Trump and Epstein were involved in the rape of a 14 year old and the murder of her baby so… yes.

This was a special election to fill a spot. The prior person (Kelly Hancock) quit to become state comptroller. These two will be running in the fall, though I wonder if the groups (including some with ties to white nationalism) that spent $2.5m on her will do so again in the fall. He raised $380k, mostly small donors.

Fun fact - Texas senate doesn’t meet this year, so he might not have a ton to do before the next election, but he’ll run as an incumbent, will be getting ready for next year’s session, and it’s also a nice pants-shitting moment for the Tarrant county Republican Party which is already in the midst of a party purity jihad.

(Seriously, they’re suing and being sued by other republicans about being removed from republican primaries, as well as suing to have democrats removed from Democrat primaries)
