  - *shrug* They offered a very generous benefit that employees state is one of the main reasons for working there and then took it away for no other -- (edited) - decline Sep 11, 09:56

It shouldn't surprise me but I am still amazed about how not smart Trump is. - Dano Sep 11, 09:23 6

- he used to be good at self promotion and good at tv. -- nm - Remlik Sep 11, 09:35
- can't find the tweet but as someone else said, the Trump on display in that debate was only surprising b/c of the extent that beltway media sanewashes - mr mooch Sep 11, 09:34
- I've always been amazed that people haven't realized how not smart he is, honestly. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 11, 09:33
- I forget who it was in the post-debate but one of them said "He lied to voters ABOUT the same voters. He didn't even lie right." -- nm - Volnelk Sep 11, 09:25
- Because almost all of us and everyone we know is coming from a place where success is earned on some level. He's earned nothing. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 11, 09:24

I'm watching jon stewart unpack the debate and they just showed the eating pets portion and I swear harris is uncomf at how unhinged he is. -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Sep 11, 08:26 5

  - Gotta say, early reaction on ST was tepid. But it was clear Harris was just warming up. -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 11, 08:48 3
    - Yeah. The first 10-15 minutes were probably even. It just took a little time for Harris to trigger him. -- nm - Dano Sep 11, 09:25
    - Though a number of prolific ST posters didn't watch so real time reaction was going to be less than representative. It wasn't the Oscars - JD Sep 11, 09:18 1

i personally do not think Taylor Swift is going to pay a price in the marketplace -- (link*) - mr mooch Sep 11, 08:01 25
- Devil's advocate: Unless you are RATM or SOAD, it is a major buzzkill whenever an artist you like gets involved in politics in any way. - con_carne Sep 11, 08:38 16
  - Even if I agreed with that, Swift would be a different situation with the AI stuff. - the wrong element Sep 11, 08:58 3
    - Wait, what happened with the churches? -- nm - Trending Sep 11, 09:01 2
      - A lot of them are telling their congregations to vote Trump. - the wrong element Sep 11, 09:08 1
        
        It has no place. I'm glad the church my wife works at has a hard line against talking any politics (it has plenty of other issues but this isn't one) -- nm - oblique Sep 11, 09:11
  - Yeah, screw you, Woody Guthrie! Stick to the music! -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 11, 08:45
  - Strong disagree. Politics are a huge part of a great many number of artists’ successes. -- nm - Qale Sep 11, 08:44 10
    - I wouldn't mind some examples. Sepultura/Max Cavalera is maybe a third artist who was political from the beginning. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 08:58 3
      - Every folk singer ever, Bob Marley, Public Enemy, Dead Kennedys. - the wrong element Sep 11, 09:05
      - A whole plethora of rock bands as you’d expect. Sometimes it goes in the other direction too like my long-admired Adeltas Way. - Qale Sep 11, 09:02 1
        
        Jefe, what is a plethora? -- nm - El Guapo Sep 11, 09:04
    - Word. I kinda like to know that my favorite artist(s) is not a horrible human behind closed doors. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 11, 08:45 5
      - That being said, Fever 333 could stand to make a different song. -- nm - Qale Sep 11, 08:55
      - Lol, you do not go looking up the artists' politics before you decide whether or not you like a song. How do I know this? Cause that would be buzzkill -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 08:54 3
        
        Eric Clapton...not so much political but outright racist despite his whole career was based on black culture -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 11, 11:06
        
        No - but if they turn out to be a horrible person (see Rock, Kid) - I will stop listening to their shit. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 11, 08:56 1

  - i like that now she has to keep pretending to be besties on camera in the skybox for another 20 weeks -- nm - mr mooch Sep 11, 08:43 1

  - At a minimum, Patrick could. -- nm - David Sep 11, 08:36

it would be cool if the Dems as a collective party had as much courage as these Springfield OH parents to stand up for migrants when they're demonized -- (link) - mr mooch Sep 11, 07:39

  - And he ignores Biden by going across him -- nm - eag Sep 11, 07:49
  - aside from the dominance signaling, she also introduced herself as "Kamala" on mic so he couldn't pretend to mispronounce it. and he never used her - mr mooch Sep 11, 07:42
- honestly, I look at that and think how tall is JD Vance, like 5'11" maybe? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 11, 07:37 1
  - Trump claims 6'3 which means he's probably 6'1 which would make Vance 6'2. Biden is 6'0 -- nm - rollo Sep 11, 07:57

"Neil Gaiman is believed to have offered to step back from the third and final season of Amazon Prime Video‘s fantasy drama Good Omens." -- nm - David Sep 11, 07:22 2

Canadian football fans, I have a question. What's up with the one point for missing a field goal that goes out of the end zone? -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 11, 06:28 9
- It's so they could have a 1-0 and 2-1 scorigami. -- nm - Dano Sep 11, 06:46
- It wasn't added for CFL, it was removed for American football. It's a throwback to its rugby origins. -- nm - Reagen Sep 11, 06:45
- it leads to some of the wildest plays you will ever see in football. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Sep 11, 06:36 4
  - Winning by failing is a weird concept but the CFL rules make the sport unique and if the fans/teams are happy with it then it's all good. -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 06:40 3
    - but the other team can run it out and prevent the 1 point -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Sep 11, 07:08 2
      - Not if the ball is in the stands. I just saw a video where the kicker missed wide and it ended up - Krusty Sep 11, 07:21 1
        
        In a tied game, with those rules, I'm not sure the kicker was aiming for anything but the stands -- nm - JD Sep 11, 08:25

- That's a headline grabbing number. Or it should be. -- nm - Inigo Sep 11, 06:29 18
  - I think Biden has done a good job with the economy; it's just that "eggs are expensive" is so much easier to grasp. - Dano Sep 11, 06:42 17
    - People aren’t changing their buying habits AT ALL. They’re just bitching to bitch. If they were really hurting, they’d stop buying crap. -- nm - Qale Sep 11, 09:00
    - Yep. It's really ridiculous that she needs to "run away" from the economy when it's actually been a huge strength. Unprecedented to end inflation - pmb Sep 11, 07:57 4
      - She doesn't "have to," it's her campaign strategy. She's "running away" from Biden in every respect, not just the economy - con_carne Sep 11, 08:08 2
        
        It is certainly the case that outside factors impact the economy more than the president. But it's also the case that the economy under democratic - pmb Sep 11, 08:24 1
        
        You're absolutely right of course, and I wish that were enough to tip American's favorability on the economy in favor of Democrats. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 08:40
      - wow -- nm - mud Sep 11, 08:02
    - even last night, i don't think Kamala mentioned "16 million new jobs" once. talk your shit! -- nm - mr mooch Sep 11, 07:23
    - Republicans are still associated with supply-side economics. Lowering taxes, reducing regulation, free trade, reducing nanny state. Next question. -- nm - con_carne Sep 11, 07:05
    - Egg prices have been down to $4.59 for a dozen brown large here for a while now. -- nm - znufrii Sep 11, 06:47
    - Yes. Groceries are high, gas is high - that is all the majority of folks see/care about. - Epiphany Sep 11, 06:44 3
      - I really do wish she would also call him out when he just throws out numbers that grow literally while he's talking in the same run on sentence. - pmb Sep 11, 08:00
      - Exactly. It's hard to hear how great the economy is doing when I'm still spending more for literally everything I need. nm - Turd Ferguson Sep 11, 06:46 1

  - I agree with whomever said the narrator is the worst part of Bad Monkey. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 11, 06:31 3
    - That was Pixie. He's a low rent Harry Dean Stanton but it doesn't ruin the show for me. -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 06:35 2
      - Is it adding value? Definitely a great show. Vaughn is typically fantastic in most things. - Epiphany Sep 11, 06:38 1
        
        I don't have any issues with it and I like when shows/movies use a narrator to give us info we need. -- nm - Krusty Sep 11, 06:41
