What a great comment!

I’d be fascinated to know whether Prime membership has taken a noticeable hit. I have been a member since its inception, and buy $20K/year in stuff there, but canceled my upcoming renewal, when they announced the price gouge for PrimeVideo and then started salting programming with ads.

I have no idea. My partner thought I was nuts, but has come to admit that it seems to work for me.

Oh, no one has lost money betting on the DNC doing the stupidest thing possible at the presidential level in decades.

They’re so shot through with untalented PMC hacks and graspers that Obama wouldn’t even let them touch the bag or have real control for 8 years; he ran his own 50-state Organizing For America/Action operations.

This is going to sound insane, but about six months ago, I started using 91% isopropyl alcohol as aftershave lotion, and my skin has never been clearer.

Once it is evaporated, I spray on a nice eu de parfum like Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille or Creed Aventus.

VP Harris has never had to run a real general election campaign, and it shows in how poorly she did in the California primary in ‘20, and in how little traction she has been able to get at either a policy or retail politicking level; she has almost no constituency today.

Facing down the feral genius of modern media manipulation in a general would be more than she has shown herself capable of to date.

Veblen’s corpse just leaked some ejaculate.

I thought Macron was the one who has been urging against more involvement and talking to Putin off and on. What changed?

I heard someone say there’s a North Montenegro now. Is that true?

This is a knowable thing that a bunch of us have personally witnessed since ‘76. Dems at the height of their power have not raced to deliver a full tranche of left legislation. Instead, they game to “not go too far,” and the GOP retakes because voters’ lives were not radically improved, and the difference between the parties isn’t particularly visible, beyond a few social issues.

They were briefly fairly free in the ‘90s, but the experience of their version of the shock doctrine was so painful that the people begged to be ruled again.

I thought Chile had drinkable table water. Last time someone posted a UN map, iirc Chile was the sole county in South America highlighted.
