And the target demographic of rowdy young men would be challenging each other to gun duels instead of FIFA matches or games of COD.

It broke X, can't tell if on purpose or some weird algorithm thing. I clicked on trending topics and Hunter Biden was trending but only 1 in 3 of the tweets under that trending topic mentioned Hunter, and all of them were about Gus.

Then the same thing for Barron Trump, and Kyle Rittenhouse. A series of young men became trending topics but all of the tweets were about Gus. Just odd.

Obviously some of it was people comparing Gus to the other guys but a majority were just straight up about Gus and no one else.

Finally, slower mail. The one thing that was keeping the Post Office from being profitable was how fast the mail got sent.

Ironically if the Bible had specifically called out race-based bigotry as seen hundreds of years later during and after the African Slave Trade it would have been pretty good evidence of God's omniscience.

Or it would have caused some sort of time loop since Christian Europeans wouldn't have done it if it was explicitly called out.

I just don't care about this framing. I want him to fail in all his political endeavors, I think he would be particularly dangerous if re-elected, and also, I never met the guy and I don't care if he has a certain feeling or another. He's personally pissed off? Ok, fine. I don't care.

But he specifically said he didn't have a series of mini strokes, when nobody had asked. Claimed he was getting ahead of a rumor he said everybody was spreading when nobody had ever heard it.

I think that clears it up.

It helps that it's a Cruz year.

Allred vs Cruz is currently 45/47, it's pretty close. Might be a pretty important Senate race if the Democrats lose one of the closer ones.

You know I very rarely eat cereal while masturbating maybe he was on to something.

It's one event with a month of prep time and a teleprompter. Biden hasn't lost all faculties, but he can't be this "on" every day for the next 3 months while also being president. This is carefully curated to his strengths, making him look good, which is great, but it's no sign he could be president in 4 years.

He's never finishing the series. He's going to be 76 in a month, he still has probably most of Winds to finish after 13 years, the math doesn't work out to getting A Dream of Spring, let along the fact that this story is way too big to satisfactorily conclude in 2 books at this point, and even if it could be done it would be complex and difficult and take longer than usual.

I'm irrationally still hopeful we get Winds. But that is it.

Such performative masculinity, you can never be the underdog or have nuance.

Harris is up by a point or two nationally, and that's not necessarily enough to win. Battleground states are all too close to call. The RCP electoral map is still giving Trump the win granted they tend to be R-biased in their poll aggregation but that is the path to claiming Trump is in the lead.

The most charismatic man I know is my uncle, he worked right near the WTC on 9/11 and even though they closed his bridge home because it was 9/11 he sweet talked his way across.
