Technically the answer should be “that depends.” Asking “can I place a particular kind of meat in a microwave” is a question of relative volumes that can’t be answered without more information. How big is the chihuahua steak and how small is the microwave?

Why is this interview happening inside a sauna?

This is what Žižek called the “unknown known” in reference to Donald Rumsfeld’s famous speech. That America had, all along, and knew that it had, all along, the capacity for evil and torture, but chose not to confront it or admit it prior to the war.

Started life as a peasant, cucked a king, and helped (albeit unintentionally) weaken a monarchy in a way that led to revolution. Truly was doing the lord’s work.

Inshallah.

I do still think corporate decision makers bear a portion of the blame. They’d rather make big cars, too, and are doing nothing to use their advertising to help shape consumer demand to be in favor of smaller cars or promote fuel economy. Individual demand exists and people bear responsibility, but it doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

Yeah. I want to blame car company executives and do when I’m cranky but ultimately much of this is a problem with drivers. People want big, pedestrian-slaughtering, gas-guzzling planet-killers and as long as we allow don’t take a more aggressive regulatory approach to SUVs and bloated pavement princess pickups it’s going to stay bad.

I think the thing is when they do make them, they’re a shitty American car and nobody wants that so the Detroit execs blame us and go back to making luxury tanks for the wine moms.

There’s a great radical bookstore in Buffalo, NY that sells this slogan as a sticker.

I though that’s what it was, too, in which case it’s more like wage theft by the North Korean state. But this talks about insider installation of malware &c. but that might just be corporate cope for having accidentally hired a North Korean and been duped by a deepfake despite a “rigorous” background check.

Has Planter’s campaign been denied, or even tried for form a joint fundraising committee like this?

As I understand it, it basically just allows donors to give to both the campaign and DSCC at the same time. If that’s accurate, I’d hesitate to describe it as influencing or endorsing? If that’s not the case, what is a joint fundraising committee?

“Okay boys, who’s in on the second Trump self-coup? Also, if you say no you’re going to the ICE camps.”

Asking for a friend, where would one buy one of these shirts?

Absolute bootlickers, they.

He’s just Bobby Newport from Parks and Rec.

IDK if he is, but papa Kraft is absolutely okay with human trafficking.

That’s true. Presidential elections are a little different given the primaries are technically only for convention delegates bound only for the first vote. There’s also instances where the party picks in the face of a candidate death before the primary or general, such as in Minnesota in 2002.

This was a big development in US politics that happened more or less due to fallout from the Vietnam War. Look at the map of the 1968 Democratic primaries and 1972 Democratic primaries. After the catastrophe that was 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago—driven by the drama around LBJ’s late departure, Hubert Humphrey being despicable, and the hope and ultimate assassination of RFK, and the lack of responsiveness to the anti-war movement, there was a serious push to move the process from one controlled almost entirely by party officials to a more democratic, if still party-official-directed process.

Mamdani won the primary election. In the US parties don’t choose their candidates for elections (in b4 “but superdelegates!”) like you see in other electoral systems where an internal party committee selects a candidate list. So this election was determining who was going to be the Democratic candidate for the actual election.

But New York has some weird fusion laws that allow people to run on multiple party lines so Cuomo, even though he lost the Democratic nomination, can still run in the general election.

Not saying this doesn’t suck, but it is also a soft paywall dodge for sites like WaPo.
