Probably he's on a diet and his wife won't let him eat more than 1 order of meatballs.

Ironic to warn about bread lines when many people are waiting in lines at food banks already under the current administration

Yeah, but he also brought Treebeard to Isengard, leading the ents to overthrow Saruman. Did that not make the list?

He did plenty. In the movie he lit the beacon to call Rohan. Fought in the battle for Minas Tirith, where he saved Gandalf's life. Saved Faramir's life. Saved Merry's life.

Sauron himself questioned Pippin and came away with the conclusion that he should apply his army and attention toward Minas Tirith and Gondor rather than continuing to look for the real ring-bearer right under his nose. Essentially made the entire gambit with Frodo possible.

This has been a pro-Pippin PSA

Don't be too relieved. There's a bill banning RCV that passed the Texas Senate and is being considered by the House: https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1751192

Ah yes, "fix" it for "free"

Then maybe you should have thought twice before leaving them so much climate change

Paladin: It works because I just feel really strongly about it.

Also he tricked the ents into walking past Isengard so that they'd see how many trees Saruman whacked and take an ax to him instead.

Imagine the mental gymnastics required to decide continuous monitoring of yourself in intimate spaces is more private than the chance a trans person could use a stall in the same bathroom.

Nothing is wrong with trees, but the microalgae CO2 capture rate is 50x higher````` .

I mean he tried. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Mountain_Peace_and_Justice_Party

He was also regarded as independent for many years.

How tf did this guy write 95 theses and not think to add in 5 more and have an even 100

Lol on their about page they say their highest ranking club member is Assistant Vice President

Well, democrats are asking to extend current discounted health insurance costs for everyone and republicans implemented massive tax cuts that gave the top 5% of earners 3-4x the tax benefit compared to the lower 40% Link.

So no, the parties actually take substantially different views on the so-called owner class.

The meme mentions this like it's a Democrat issue, but Republicans do the same thing.

For example, Trump disavowed Project 2025 policies as too extreme, but then obviously followed them very closely.

The issue is election winners are almost always the one with >50% popular support. So candidates are incentivized to align their policies with those of the median voter. This persists across different voting systems, so rebuilding it for that reason may not help.

But you can still elect a progressive by voting for them in the primary election (where they can be more authentic) or if the median voter becomes more progressive (more progressives vote).

65" Hisense TV. Bought it new and 1.5 years later the motherboard died. Scoured the Internet for the part and it turned out Hisense didn't even sell it, you had to buy secondhand used boards.

But it must have been a common problem b/c over ~6 months even the resellers were permanently sold out. Recycled it in the original packaging.

IMO companies like that should be forced to recycle every scrap of their e-waste themselves.

Ooh I got one, did u know u can scroll through Netflix for 15min and never decide on what to watch?

Sanders is a rare voice for progressive, prosocial reform in the US. His policy positions resonate with many of us who feel that government should support ordinary people at least as much as the obscenely wealthy.

But beyond that, he's genuine and his messaging has been consistent for decades. You can literally find images of him being arrested fighting for social justice in the 60's.

Also he's sharp and nearly every time he makes a point he drops the facts to support it.
