  • WTF is a rural town in the USA?

    Jump

  • It's dependent on a given state's terminology. New York, for example, has villages. They're municipalities that fall within towns, but collectively offer additional services that the town does not. So I could live in the village of Pomona, in the town of Haverstraw, and I'd need to pay taxes to the village and the town separately.

  • Fiona Hill: Trump is terrified of Putin, I’ve seen it first hand

  • What expenses? If everyone is on a general strike, there's nowhere to spend money.

    And honestly, your suggestion sounds like we're trying to trade one evil billionaire dictator for another evil billionaire dictator on the off chance that the new one won't destroy the global economy as thoroughly. That's not actually an improvement.

  • The old joke about the French diet: they just drink wine, eat baguettes, and smoke cigarettes, but all Frenchmen seem to live to 100.

    Turns out having fairer labor laws and access to healthcare does a great job of prolonging your life!

  • PC taxonomy

  • I think of myself as the chaos engine that drives the plot forward. Everyone else in the party would just sit and talk plans forever if I wasn't out here rolling death-saves.

  • Catholic Church To Excommunicate Priests for Following New US State Law

  • Client-therapist privilege is foundational to how therapy works, but most states have laws saying a therapist must report admissions of abuse. I don't see doctors rallying against those laws.

  • The Military Entertainment Complex:

    Jump

  • The Comedian was based on Peacemaker. The initial pitch was that all of the Watchmen would be DC's (at the time) recently-acquired Charlton characters. DC nixed the idea, so Moore just tweaked them and renamed them.

  • NY Republican headquarters vandalized with swastikas in Albany | “If this is not what you stand for, prove it,” read a separate sign also affixed to the building with duct tape.

    Jump

  • In 2018, someone fired six bullets into the Albany Democratic Party headquarters' front window. I don't recall a single Republican denouncing the act.

  • The Call to Execute Luigi Mangione Is Indefensible

    Jump

  • The issue is that he's only been indicted in New York, and New York abolished the death penalty more than twenty years ago.

    The Feds would need to press their own charges if they wanted to pursue the death penalty, which they have not done yet. That's the laughable part: they're trying to dictate sentencing before they pressed charges, gathered evidence, or secured a conviction. And the only way to get a death sentence is by unanimous jury vote during sentencing, which, let's be honest, is going to be very difficult to get rid Luigi.

  • Which actor did not have a single bad film?

    Jump

  • The Beach was just too weird for the Titanic fans. It was right in the wheelhouse for Danny Boyle fans at the time.

    Of course the book was better, but I really enjoyed the movie for what it was.

  • Whats the most quotable movie?

    Jump

  • I collect spores, mold, and fungus.

  • Donald Trump pushes for near-total control of Ukraine’s minerals and energy in huge increase on earlier demands

    Jump

  • Isn't that exactly what happened, like, three weeks ago?

  • Harvard announces it won’t charge tuition to families with incomes under $200,000

  • Your parents can disqualify you from student aid at any age. My brother went to community college in his 30s and still had to complete a FAFSA (including parental income data) to apply for assistance.

  • RFK Jr.: It Would Be Better if ‘Everybody Got Measles’

    Jump

  • He's just Mister Oogie-Boogie from Nightmare Before Christmas at this point.

  • Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you

    Jump

  • And progressive tax rates collected at the state level distributed based on student density and district need are better than both options.

  • Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery

    Jump

  • My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2020 because Biden, a Catholic, was going to outlaw catholicism.

    There's no hope for these people.

  • Piracy Data: The Film and TV Industry Is No Longer Problem No. 1 in 2025 — It’s Manga

    Jump

  • It hasn't been decades. Maybe 15 years, though. It's coincided with the ubiquity of streaming.

    Before Netflix was everywhere, a movie could bomb in theaters and still make up the difference on the back end. Kevin Smith's Clerks and Mallrats are great examples of movies that absolutely cleaned up on DVD sales. Comedy Central using advertising money and licensing Office Space for 20 hours per week is part of why the producers trusted Mike Judge enough to make Idiocracy.

    But steamers don't pay nearly as well as direct-to-consumer home video or as well as advertising-supported licenses. So producers are disincenrivized to do mid-budget movies or take chances on new IPs, because if it doesn't do well in theaters then they're not making the money back.

  • USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them

    Jump

  • Just a point of clarification: the probationary period of federal employees is much longer than 90 days. For most, it's one year. Some roles are two years.

  • Democrats slam Trump for not making good on promise to ‘immediately’ lower food prices

    Jump

  • I dunno. Anyone investing in tech or energy took a pretty big hit in the last couple days...

  • President Biden warns of 'oligarchy' as he bids farewell to five decades in politics
