We regret to inform you that "emu girl" is ... well, you know. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 22, 08:50 14
- Im curious, what on this tweet has the evidence she is racist? I mean I fully already thought that. I mean she is a farmer in America after 4 years - Jovian Jul 22, 09:38 4
  - The screenshots in the thread allegedly bring receipts of prior racist behaviour in the hunt for clicks. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 09:47 1
    - danka. I went down the wrong twitter thread. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 09:50
  - I think that would be a very poor assumption. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 22, 09:39 1
    - oh most certainly. But its still something I am unable to shake. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 09:40
- These threads are always too sly and inside baseball. It's impenetrable. Basically, farmer girl is racist, yes? -- nm - Mop Jul 22, 08:54 8
  - Seems that way. Perhaps on her third self-reinvention? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 22, 09:00 2
    - Yeah I don't know the back story but right away I'm disappointed to learn she's not the wholesome farmer with a small TikTok account who happened to - Guigue Jul 22, 09:04 1

Trump and Schedule F -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 22, 08:38 27
- I have to assume that this is a threat regardless of who the eventual GOP nominee is. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 22, 08:49 26
  - I would agree that Trump disciples would likely follow the same path. - Strongbad Jul 22, 09:06 25
    - Im not convinced anyone except DJT follows this blue print. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 09:39 21
      - *blink* - znufrii Jul 22, 09:42 20
        
        He is a singular phenomenon though. You will never see a political candidate/President worshipped again like DJT in our lifetimes. - Jovian Jul 22, 09:47 16
        
        Obama was pretty damn close. - Strongbad Jul 22, 09:49 15
        
        I would say there are pretty significant differences in character between the two, notwithstanding the potential parallel of intensity that I think you are pointing at here. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 22, 09:57 6
        
        also translated: Obama was big time admired because he was the first black President. Trump was big time admired because he was the first racist Pres. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 10:00 1
        
        **note (openly racist) - Jovian Jul 22, 10:02
        
        My only point was the parallel in intensity. Yes, stark differences in character. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 10:00 3
        
        agree 100% here. Hell I’d throw Reagan in as a third. So we’ve had three instances since the 80s. Minimum. -- nm - MDH Jul 22, 10:02 2
        
        The three arent comparable. Obama and Reagan sure. But not DJT. I reject that out of hand. - Jovian Jul 22, 10:08 1
        
        his idolization from his base is on par with Mussolini and Hitler. Thats the difference here. What he represents. - Jovian Jul 22, 10:09
        
        not even remotely close. Show me an Obama hat. Show me an Obama shirt. Show me an Obama Flag. Show me Obama Nazi rallies. Show me.. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 09:51 7
        
        I remember seeing Obama stores that only sold Obama merchandise. -- nm - Dano Jul 22, 09:55 4
        
        There still is one in DC! -- nm - MDH Jul 22, 09:58
        
        me too. But never once in his 8 years did I ever see anyone wear any Obama gear. DJT gear on the other hand? I see that all the time. -- nm* - Jovian Jul 22, 09:56 2
        
        Uhh sure, okay. -- nm - MDH Jul 22, 09:58 1
        
        I dont lie. I never saw Obama gear on anyone in my life. But then again I live in NJ. -- nm - Jovian Jul 22, 10:01
        
        You’re joking right? His “Hope” poster might be the most iconic image of the late 2000s. And I still regularly see Obama shirts, hats, and apparel. -- nm - MDH Jul 22, 09:53 1
        
        Im not joking. Obama was loved because he was a good man. People generally respected him and were proud of it. Trump is a vile piece of shit, loved - Jovian Jul 22, 09:55
        
        indeed. -- nm - mud Jul 22, 09:45 2
        
        Hell, with DeSantis as the nominee I would expect it to be written into the platform at the convention -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 09:48 1
        
        yup -- nm - St. Epiphany Jul 22, 10:17
    - Curious why you’d think that. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 22, 09:18 2
      - I think that Romney is smart enough to realize - Strongbad Jul 22, 09:37 1
        
        I hope you’re right. -- nm - znufrii Jul 22, 09:42
BoxOffice: Nope $6.4M Previews, $45M-$50M OW -- nm - budice Jul 22, 08:34 2
- I'd go more with $55M to $65M. -- nm - Inigo Jul 22, 08:37 1
  - Yeah, I had $60M for a low. Was debating high-side of $70M. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 09:02
Well, ST, if you insist: Brown Bears Eat Wealthy Tourists and Pilot After Helicopter Crashes in Remote Kamchatka -- (link) - Mop Jul 22, 08:27 2

  - I am 6/8 on Resident Evil. So that gets done, first. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 08:26 3
    - Is it as bad as people say? I still kind of want to watch it, but don't want to waste my time. -- nm - sycor Jul 22, 08:27 2
      - I am enjoying it well enough. Have a feeling it will be a series I look back on and say, "It would have been better if it was 5-6 episodes". vague pacing spoil -- (edited) - Spawn Jul 22, 08:28 1
        
        ep.6 spoil - mud Jul 22, 08:30

At the show, I realized I was looking at alt-U's older versions of Beavis and Butthead. -- (pic) - Spawn Jul 22, 08:08 [Attachment] 2
- I didn't know they were touring together. That musta been cool. -- nm - mud Jul 22, 08:21 1
  - We have seen Chris a dozen times but Lyle only once before. It was a very cool pairing. - Spawn Jul 22, 08:25

"Patients should go to the dentist every two years instead of at six-month intervals, under new plans suggested by NHS England." - Swilcan Baron Jul 22, 07:17 11
- I thought once a year was standard, don't think I've had a reminder from my dentist in 16 months. -- nm - LMS Jul 22, 09:40 1
  - By the way, deep cleaning isn't covered on the NHS, you get a quick clean during a check-up normally but you pay extra for the hygienist. -- nm - LMS Jul 22, 09:42
- Two years? I could see maybe yearly, but two years is a long time. -- nm - sycor Jul 22, 08:21
