Wow, so surprising they would pick one of the most hotly contested senate races in the country with a vulnerable incumbent Democrat. Total coincidence I'm sure, and not at all an effort to help the Republican.

The green party cares about the environment man.

It's just that it's the political environment. Fucking trash.

I think they meant singing - they might be referring to the "deepfake" tech that was taking old photos and making them seem like they were singing 80s songs.

They made this movie about it.

I actually knew a couple of those girls and they weren't nearly that bad.

It did not understand the assignment, but it did give me a few reasonable examples of the original prompt.

There's a difference between requesting something and expecting it.

Haha, I love the phrasing "in talks for kids", negotiations are going well I hope! It's such a commitment- my wife really wanted kids but I wasn't so sure. We always had another thing before we could start and eventually we agreed on just having one. The way the world is, we really wanted to make sure we could commit our focus and energy on her. Now that she's here I couldn't imagine it any other way - she's as much of part of my life as I am, it feels like.

Wouldn't the opposite of a low risk, medium reward pick a high risk, medium reward pick?

Mark Kelly is super moderate - that's the only negative thing about him as far as I know. It's possible his moderation was more about being elected in AZ and he might be free to be more left-leaning if he were on a national stage, but that's like... not usually how it goes.

For Pete, it's more of an "electibility" question - whether him being a gay man would turn off some voters? I would love to think we're passed that on the left, but it's an untested assumption.

And just to be clear, Pete and Mark are actually my top picks for VP, on a personal level. I'm just playing Trump's advocate for the sake of discussion.

But ultimately, he would not be the one making those decisions. She would.

 

A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days.

If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals.

Delay. Delay. Delay.
