True true.

Imagine further if Henry Wallace had not been replaced as FDR’s VP by Truman just a few months before FDR died. We would have had a real scientist (HW was a corn geneticist who founded the first hybrid corn seed company) at the helm.

The post-world war 2 world would have developed very differently.

(sigh)

If you insist. My ass is very shapely as a result of dedication to that cause and I draw attention to it whenever possible.

In this essay, I will ….

Yeah, I mean the Clintons were balls-deep in the origin of Third Way. Center-left, my shapley ass. They make Goldwater Republicans look progressive.

What the Hell even is that?

It won’t change Jizzedina Davenport Vance’s mind. It will embolden others to do the same and eventually maybe he gets a proper crowd-sourced spa treatment.

Yes please! I volunteer to be Whitey if it’s a perfoart piece.

I agree, and perhaps some deep diving to find an older dot matrix printer? Should be supremely hackable. I only have experience with these:

Next-gen teletypes

They were extremely durable and low maintenance. Also loud and more stress inducing than a modern SMS notification.

Good times

That was a complete rabbit hole. Thanks.

The only thing possibly more epic would be converting a Linotype to a Linux terminal. It uses hot lead to create type for newspapers, etc.

I was trained to use one as there were so many in use they still have some niche applications for specialty printing.

Anyhow, I call them Satan’s Typewriters and still have small scars from hot lead all over my forearms. And I love technology.

A good film:

Linotype: The Film

‘Standing’ is usually just a way for judges to block or promote hearing of cases. It is very arbitrary and squishy.

Due to her previous crimes and involvement in the justice system, followed by her ‘career’ as a ‘public figure’ centered around these issues, a judge can safely grant standing if they feel like doing so.

Or they have an epiphany and realize they have, perhaps not ‘fuck you’ money, but at least ‘bite me’ money. Then they sit in a row boat and fish or something. Greed is a pathology and we do a favor to those inflicted with it by taking it away faster and faster the more they steal from us.

She is a unitary executive

Except that they will use Lindsey as a scapegoat in an attempt to make it ok to say fake mean shit about gay people.

Kim Davis is asking the Supremes to reverse the decision that enabled gay marriage nationwide.

These idiots all talk to each other, and they are acting in coordination.

That man ain’t seen pussy in so long, he would throw stones at one.

Being seen as having rizz at the national level is nothing to scoff at. We disdain celebrity but it is hard to obtain and keep. It can be used for good or ill, but the competencies needed for durable celebrity status are many.

Think about all the skills and consistency a person who is on camera all the time has to have. They need to be internally consistent. They need to know who they are and project themselves well. they need to know how to manage a media career and they need to speak ideas that resonate with an audience and make people want to remember their name.

You are absolutely correct celebrity and politician have always been intertwined professions.
