“While Bari Weiss’s description of a young woke mob taking over the paper was roundly criticized, several Times employees I spoke to saw truth to the dynamic,” Wiedeman wrote. I'm pretty friendly with a two folks there, one of which is a pretty high level editor who is good friends with James Bennett. Both confirm that this is the dynamic playing out.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Have we ever been given a reason: @George-K said in Have we ever been given a reason: @Doctor-Phibes said in Have we ever been given a reason: There's no right to buy it online. You can make the same point about mail-in votes. That's not in the constitution either. I never said mail-in votes were a constitutional right. They do make a lot of sense in the time of Covid. I've know I've said this before, but I've observed a massive correlation between people quoting the US Constitution at the beginning of a sentence and people proposing some really stupid shit. Buying guns and ammo online would be an example of this. I've bought several guns online. You just have to have them shipped to a !ocal FFL. As Jerry Miculek (a fine Louisiana fella) would say, "Get you some!" . https://www.budsgunshop.com/mobile/search.php/type/Firearms_Handguns

More done in 4, than others get done in 8.

@jon-nyc said in Recognizing Joseph R. Biden, Jr, the 46th President of the United States: https://twitter.com/sullydish/status/1326581809338060801?s=20 Are you sure you want to go tit-for-tat? Where did I put my old Election 2000 tapes?...

@LuFins-Dad said in Georgia: There are plenty enough votes out there still to be counted to put Perdue over the 50% threshold. I mean, if he comes in at 50.01% then he is in, right? Correct.

@Mik Thanks!

@kluurs said in Don't be a sissy.: Similar things have been said in the US and elsewhere. YOU are all going to die. Me, on the other hand... Yep. Y'all can go ahead with that if you want but I'm not in.

I am OK with having a national ID card issued to every one. Heck, I am even OK with said national ID card having a field that indicates citizenship/immigration/visa status.

@George-K said in Here, kitty, kitty.: Link to video Those are some pretty darn adorable murder mittens on that cat.

@Larry said in The economic record: This world is made up of leaders and followers. Two things identify followers...Followers will always nip at a leader's heels. Followers will never understand what makes a leader. If you want to use Margaret Thatcher as an example of great leadership, I'd say she was a prime example of somebody who got more and more extreme until eventually her own party kicked her out. In another country she'd have ended up in a military uniform, declaring herself President for Life. A poll tax, FFS. What kind of addled brain thought that was a good idea?

You've made him so multidimensional that he is IMO an honorary (if ghostlike) member of TNCR! I haven't seen him in nearly 9 months. We attempted virtual tea breaks, but it gets a bit forced so we haven't done anything for ages. Find him a couple of boxes of ammo and he'll love you for life. I've got a horrible feeling that he might make his own. As do a lot of us. I've probably got enough stuff laying around, to level your house.

Fry him

@Jolly said in Why not a woman?: I thought Ax was gay. Or at least was like a garden gate and swung both ways. Did I miss something? Nah, don't think Ax is. His family's pretty cool even if Ax is cantankerous at times though.

Yes, the elites need a church now as much as they ever did

Interesting. Considering the pickups for the GOP in the House, I think that there's a lot of unhappy Democrat representatives. The question is whether these unhappy folks are those in the (relative) center, or the AOC believers.
