Naturally, this is all the Democrats fault for not letting the republicans steamroll them with their anti-American (and frankly, anti-human) policies. Great job, media.
(Emphases about blaming the media mine) Seriously, WTF? What other way could they have reported that? They're refusing to back the bill without ACA extensions and repealing the cuts to health care programs. As far as reasons go and playing hardball, that's a pretty good one (or two).
And if NPR didn't include that info about Democrats refusing to back the R spending bill, then you all would be complaining that "Oh, the Democrats do nothing blah blah whine whine blah both sides".
As far as "the media" goes, NPR is pretty top-tier. I swear, I am starting to think half the people here just do not understand how journalism works.
There was a show in, probably, 1997 called "Ask Harriet". It was basically "Tootsie" the TV series. I think only 8 episodes were produced and only 4 actually aired.
The show was pretty terrible, but Ed Asner was at the top of his game in it, so that was basically the hook for me.
Nice, and yeah, definitely. Until my senior year English class, the only books were were allowed to use for any reading assignment were Shakespeare or Newberry award books.
And for "Trying to learn a new language", it's unforgivable when the subtitles say "(Speaking Foreign Language)" and are over top of the translation subtitles that are part of the actual scene 😠
Most recent one today included a comment saying videos are not allowed, which it says nowhere in their rules, unless there's some portion of my vision that's failing.
Literally the first rule: Post only links to articles. Video != Article
The previous piece he rejected over there was because I included an image link, in
Again: Post only links to articles. In 99.9999% of cases, rules of that variety mean the post's URL (the main URL for the post) must be to the article.
The community is not a general political discussion, political opinion, meme, or "see what [blank] talking head shat out on social media". It's to discuss political news centered around articles from credible sources.
He just writes a comment in the post, then deletes it.
It's a comment reply so still shows up in your notifications (at least it does in Lemmy).
Just kind of wondering what people think about this
I think you need to learn to read and follow the rules before throwing out inflammatory posts like this. That, or find more appropriate communities for what you want to post.
Definitely different experiences, but yeah, agree. Generally, I only like to listen to the audiobook after I've read it (unless there's no other option). It's difficult for me to not miss important plot points when I'm listening to it, but that's probably just my ADHD.
I was literally wondering that this morning! Noticed the non-political shitposts had largely dried up, and realized I hadn't seen TPM for a good minute. Come back, we need you.
I just started this one yesterday. Enjoying it so far. I'm only a few chapters in, but it definitely fills in a lot of blanks from PIC S1 like "Who is Raffi and why are she and Picard suddenly BFFs?" After reading her introduction, yeah, I'd want to be best friends with her, too.
It puts so much of the first season into context that I felt was missing when I watched it.
Seriously, this. I can't stand to read "the classics" but I love reading things that interest me. Would be nice if schools recognized that and encouraged reading just for the sake of it rather than forcing kids to trudge through endless stanzas of "ye art incorrect and thou must protest this injustice. Oh Horatio! Oh, lamentation this! Lamentation that!" Like, fuck, I lost the plot 3 pages of lamentations ago.
Just let kids do book reports on Harry Potter (or whatever's cool these days). At least they're reading and their brain cells are firing.
Provided it's got a decent narrator, audiobooks are like literal bedtime stories, and a lot of players have "sleep mode" that will either set a timer or stop it after the current chapter. Seems like an easy way to get people into them, IMO.
I have two of Stephen Fry's autobiographies on audiobook and would basically let his smooth voice lull me to sleep. 😆
