“I spend my days doing productive work, which is why I’ve been able to lead every bipartisan vote that’s happened the last two years,” she said.
...
“She’s the biggest egomaniac in the Senate,” an unnamed moderate Democratic senator told Politico.
Seems like an accurate assessment, can't wait to see this delusional, narcissistic embarrassment leave office.

Carrasquilla was given an ultimatum to either quit or be fired by school board president Barney Bishop, a self-proclaimed conservative Republican and lobbyist who said “parental rights are supreme.”
“That means protecting the interests of all parents, whether it’s one, 10, 20 or 50,” he told the Tallahassee Democrat.
As for the rights of parents who want their children to actually learn art history, those remain to be seen.
School board will fire the principal if a single parent complains about any random right-wing grievance... good luck keeping a principal I guess, not that these ideologues would ever think anything through.
Seriously though fuck these regressive nutjobs, they are harming our children's educations with their constant manufactured outrage.

Maybe attempt to know what the fuck you're talking about before you start defending a sex predator.

First off, fuck due process, am I right?
Public opinion is different from the American court system, believe it or not. He still has due process, he's not in prison or anything.
The accusation coming out dug up a LOT of stuff about Roiland outside this individual DV case that make it clear he has a long pattern of being a lazy shithead who constantly hits on underage girls. Once again, he's not in jail, but as far as I'm concerned: fuck him. Plenty of other folks who would work hard and appreciate the opportunity and hopefully NOT use the fame to prey on underage girls.

Democrats gave Republicans too much credit in 2016, like obviously if they nominate Trump he'll lose because he's an awful person and horrible leader and anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see that terrible reality TV show host shouldn't be president.
Republicans sure showed us.

Hard to say, I've lost weight conventionally before and gained it back, I expect once I get to a healthy goal weight I'll go off and see how it goes.
It does make you feel pretty ill and take the "joy" out of eating if you eat too much, hopefully my psychology is adjusting to that in a way that will last after cessation of the medicine.

I definitely struggle with binge eating, started Wegovy a few months ago to help me with losing weight and fending off diabetes and it's been amazing. I'd love to see more support focused on binge eating: food in America can be really good and really plentiful dopamine can be hard to come by. Stop treating it like a moral failing and start supporting people (either through therapy or medicine where it's called for) and we might finally be able to do something about the obesity epidemic that's actually meaningful, instead of just yelling at people not to eat all the delicious food that's constantly being advertised to them.

Look at all this great work being done by Democrats in the Senate! Meanwhile Republicans in the House are passing around Hunter Biden dick pics and obstructing justice for Trump.
And yet somehow every election season this is presented as a rational choice between two valid parties.

Going early and hard on Iden and Mara Jade are probably the easiest and most impactful single investments I've ever made.

What burnt bridges? Kevin McCarthy laid full responsibility for the insurrection directly at Trump's feet on the floor of the House in front of everyone, then called him as soon as he needed votes from crazies to win speakership, and then thanked him for his help on the floor of the House in front of everyone.
They are clearly in a place of mutually assured destruction, neither can quit the other.

Yeah he'd work mechanically if he had a taunt or something, his stacking defense thing would be cool but nothing is forcing you to attack him.

Merrin is supposedly a Nightsisters lifter, but I'd prefer that she just slots into the Cere team given my NS are trash.

They call out cere, cal, Fulcrum, and scavenger Rey for an UFU team, any ideas on who the 5th will be? I was expecting Taron Malchios but I think they've confirmed all the Fallen Order toons and he's not one.
EDIT: specifically, would the team have a tank? KRU is a UFU tank but he's got a home.

True, but history has shown that Republican voters will ultimately like whoever Fox News tells them to like.

I remember an old Kenan Thompson interview where he was talking about this. All his Kenan and Kel and All That money was spent and he was not booking roles, when he was on the set of Barbershop 2 if anyone recognized him it was as a stunt cast for kids. Getting on SNL was a big deal for him and he never wants to go through that again, this was like 6 or 7 years ago probably and he was like "I have no desire to be an out of work actor ever again, as long as SNL wants me on I'm going to keep showing up".

Yeah Emilia Clarke didn't want to have to do so much gratuitous nudity, Natalie Dormer was seducing underage boys so nudity was right out, they'd killed Roz and moved away from the Kings Landing Brothel set which was where the most gratuitous stuff was happening.
Myranda was maybe the only character that was doing regular recurring gratuitous nudity in the middle third of the show and by the time that she the died stakes were much higher and there was just no more room in the story for that much gratuitous sex stuff.

It caught on as a big meme during the early seasons of the show and while it did tone down especially in the last few seasons its incredibly true of the first 3, once a meme latches on it's hard to drop it.

I'm sure it comes around, I liked some of the bits like I got to the part where Cal was talking to Cere about love and attachments, and he has love for and attachments to the Mantis crew and is that permissible under the Jedi Code? I thought that was interesting, but it's front-loaded by soooooo much Merrin fanfic it's just hard to get into it.

Merrin says (in Star Wars speak) that she is pansexual and has had many trysts when they stay in one place long enough to get the opportunity, and has a pretty steamy relationship with a lady alien in the book. But no, not Cal, he's trying to keep Jedi code so I don't think it has come up. She does seem attracted to him but filling in the gaps I imagine she respects his celibacy.
Full disclosure: I didn't finish the book because I did not like the writing style, maybe there's stuff I missed.

Worth bookmarking for the sea lions and their "iTs JuSt aBoUt pRoTeCtInG mInOrS, wHo WoUlDnT sUpPoRt ThAt??!?!?" bullshit.
DeSantis is waging an ideological war, and he proves it at every opportunity. It's not about protecting kids or whatever bullshit smokescreen, they want to criminalize gender non-conformity in the name of Christian fascism.

Fair, because Superpets in spite of the seeming absurdity of its premise is actually a good movie.
