A big problem in this election is that random people think things are bad that are actually good. I think conservative media panic is a big part of this.

In2 posted some tweets of conservative people upset about various aspects of the classified docs search and seizure, including the authorization for the use of "deadly force." But such authorization is standard operating procedure, and the agency went out of its way to avoid needing to use...

Yeah, it's just one game. If Pacers can get a split in Boston they'll be in amazing shape. I think the Pacers should hold their heads high; they showed they absolutely can go toe-to-toe with the Celtics in Boston.

Figured we should have a thread specifically to discuss the ECF (Celtics / Pacers) and the WCF (Wolves / Mavs).

So Trump ran a campaign ad that said that if he wins in 2024, he will create a "unified Reich." After people saw and pointed this out, he deleted the video. But, ummmm, very not okay? WTF is this literal Nazi shit?

There's some kind of "suspicious substance" threat outside the RNC headquarters. Hope nothing comes of it and everyone is okay.

Pretty amazing that Scoot Henderson didn't make either of the All-Rookie teams. That's a huge whiff on a high draft pick by Portland. Between that and their underwhelming acquisition of max-salary DA, and the loss of the best player in franchise history for a questionable return, they had a rough of...

They found even more classified docs.

Donald Trump says he is looking into restrictions on contraception. He later retracts the statement, but ...

You think that if Trump did half of what Hillary did here, there would be no charges brought? You would bend over backwards to justify it. I've got news for you. Trump did WAY more than "Half of what Hillary did." He's on trial for some of it. He will likely be convicted for some of it. W...

I'm no legal expert, and you're right that things that "sound kinda similar" aren't grounds for legal action. But the trouble may come because they lack plausible deniability; they can't say it's a coincidence that it sounds just like her. They asked to license her voice (and she said no),...

As expected, Trump opts not to take the stand in his hush money trial.

Hunter + McConnell would have been a great haul for DA. But maybe Indiana never offered that. As it is, even though folks are a bit down on Nurk because of his poor playoff performance, getting (Nurk + Allen) for DA is a pretty good return. Allen was a breath of fresh air for us last year, a starter...

All I know is that Biden did it.

^ Not sure that that is "abortion" related but it's fine to put it here. I do agree that microplastics seem like a large problem that we're only beginning to realize the scope of. Not sure what their long-term effects will be or what we'll be able to do about them. But I bet in 10-20 years...

You can whine about Hillary all you want. But Hillary was very thoroughly investigated, and she testified before Congress for 11 hours. No crimes were found. Sorry Charlie.

Sky sounds like Rashida Jones, not Scarlett Johansson. I agree that Rashida also sounds very similar to the voice. But Sam Altman of OpenAI tweeted "Her" after they launched it, and they repeatedly reached out to ScarJo to try to secure rights to her voice. So it seems more likely to me t...

Israel won't even let the AP film what they're doing in Gaza. Seems like a totally legitimate and normal thing to do!

The judge explained his reasoning for that. https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-hush-money-trial-05-20-24/h_82db8716bb886e0cdb4160b0c83ccd06 Judge Juan Merchan said that allowing a Federal Election Commission (FEC) expert to testify on the additional subjects that Donald Trump's lawyers are...

This seems like a comment that could get him in trouble.
