I was expecting porn. Boy, was I disappointed.
Yeah, Raven having never seen Sonic porn was a shocker.

I'm guessing this is what 1968 felt like.

Hopefully 2024 doesn't have its own Scott Morrison.
OMG, can you believe what Kamela said about JD Vance?

You're definitely Kamela Harris in this scenario.
I listened to some of Elon Musk interviewing Donald Trump. Outside of the running joke about Elon Musk on the podcast (if it ever gets aired, that is), I had no previous thoughts on the man...but boy did he make Trump sound eloquent, coherent, and intelligent. WTF.
Yeah Elon doesn't come off as bright. But as my old boss says people don't find money, money finds people. Which is just one of the aphorisms he said that I could never make sense of but made sense at the same time.
robio said:So is anyone watching what's going on in the North Carolina governor's race? Jesus Christ, they may have found the nuttiest gubernatorial candidate I've ever heard of. David Duke looked better in comparison. But I suppose if a guy refers to himself as a black Nazi, you really can't expect too much.
Oh man, this one is crazy. I'm curious how this one turns out. I'm hopeful that North carolinians will not vote for the nazi, but its hard to tell these days.

From what I've read, the polls already indicated that he was going to lose before all of this stuff came out. I mean he was already kind of a nut job in the first place. But now the big question is how much worse is he going to do and is it going to affect the rest of the ticket?
Surely someone in the GOP has vetted this before.
Well, seems like the lid has finally come off of the middle east. It's a tragedy what's happening there, escalated by some extreme right Jews who make up the Israeli government and who seem to have completely lost it.
I heard a quote from some Isreali fellow, don't remember who but he wasn't anyone in power who said 'you can win each battle, but you won't win the war'. I think that's very true here. A lot of suffering will be caused, and while Israel will probably come out on top thanks to their military supremacy, it won't get them peace and will cost them so much in terms of international goodwill. Hopefully after this the West won't shy away anymore from criticizing Israel, because honnestly, they're a bunch of bullies who think they can get away with anything.
To win a battle, there needs to be a battle?

not sure if this is a slant against the power imbalance in the ongoing conflict, or a well meant attempt to give the correct quote. If it's the latter, I was not referring to any famous quote by some famous Israeli. It was just something I read in an article.
