"Something something unreasonable Democratic conditions something unfair something something no debate something MAGA"

I don't think debates are terribly meaningful to outcome, as noted earlier. The development of social media, the 24 hour news cycle, and similar pervasive political marketing pretty well assures individual exposure at a level that has never been possible before. Anyone tuning in at that point who is undecided is either being intentionally obtuse or frighteningly unqualified to even have an opinion. SNL did a skit on this. By the time debates roll around, there will be extensive coverage of all major policy issues. Hundreds of soundbites. Thousands of hours of "expert analysis". And voters will almost certainly have largely already decided based on the amount of percieved impact the candidate will have on them personally.

I'm fixin' to leave this here...

I agree with this reasoning, I just have very significant concerns that the legal basis used by the Court to reach the opinion can be broadly applied to other controversial administrative action. Get ready for a hail of filings in conservatively favorable venues the next time the White House flips. I don't like the option of it going through, but it'll be something to watch.

I love the outcome of the citizenship question, but am a bit concerned about how they got there. To some extent I agree with Alito on the "pretextual" argument. I feel like I need a shower.

Was that in the Secret Invasion storyline?

In 2077 this will be the "good old days"

Yeah, and the latest demo was next level stuff. Me: there's no way I could be liking forward to this game more CD Projekt: hold my beer... I like the third person view they used in Witcher 3, myself. First person doesn't bother me though, I just prefer the other.

Ok, all aboard the hype train. From this original teaser published January 10, 2013. To this year's undisputed "best shocking reveal" at E3: If it was anyone but CD Projekt Red, I'd absolutely be bracing myself for disappointment. But wow. I cannot wait until April of 2020.

Okay, that's kind of awesome

I very much enjoyed the Doom Patrol series. Crazy Jane was fantastic. Larry Trainor, and the negative man entity. Flex Mentallo. The Bureau of Normalcy. Mr. Nobody was a great villain. Robot Man and Rita Farr were good, but not on the same level. I just watched it a second time. I hope they do a second season.

I'm trying really hard to get worked up about any of the themes described... Nah, I just don't find it interesting enough as a series. If they make it two or three seasons and I hear good things, maybe. But it's a derivative character, on the CW, and I just can't work up the time to see it.

Love that song

There is so much material available to option for television and movies, and they went with Batwoman? Okay.

They pretty much fixed that with the "career mode". It's like a non-linear storyline campaign with a time limit. They put drop weight limits on some missions too. Now you kind of need mixed lance weight options sometimes. And now they've given you the Raven with ECM. I expect to use that in urban settings well into late game. Edit: I didn't mention, I agreed with your point. Assault Mechs are critical in the late campaign mode. They've at least taken steps to promote more diverse playable tactics. "Battleturret" is a less viable play option these days.

Found this on the Paradox boards. So likely November 2019 in Heavy Metal. That's confirmed above as an "official statement" from a thread asking "what about the Marauder and Warhammer?" Yay. I want both.

So Flashpoint expansion brought: Crab, Cyclops, and Hatchetman. Also sequential drop "Flashpoint" and non-campaign play. Jungle biome. Urban Warfare expansion brought: Raven and Javelin. ECM and BAP tech (3025 lostech version, heavy and not as effective as later in the timeline). Also basically the Citytech stuff, urban biome and collateral damage from shooting and missing. Looking forward to the last of the planned expansions "Heavy Metal". Lots of buzz about that but no definitive facts yet.

I 'member thinking "oh Jesus Christ, the guy from Knights Tale and Brokeback Mountain is going to play the Joker?!" And wondering if we were going to get "We will rock you" or someone exploring the character's pathos in overly dramatic fashion. I was incorrect in my assumption, he had a strong and interesting performance. Really good stuff, I still liked Nicholson's version better (at the time and given the era) but his was right up there.

Of course. That's the proper way to eat any multicolored fruit chew: skittles, starburst, gummy bears, whatever. I'd hate to think anyone does that differently. Savages.

That was really good, in my opinion That said I understand budget constraints do exist and such potent character presence may have exhausted their resources with the SFX budget. Worth watching, for sure.

Swamp Thing on the streaming service is pretty interesting so far. Just an episode in, but kind of horror/drama feel so far.

I'm honestly not that worried about the number of youth raised in single parent homes. Bunch of other metrics on how we treat children strike me as compelling, aside from an apples to oranges comparison to when women were one step removed from chattel to their husbands due to economic and social pressure. I don't think the idyllic 1950s were all that fantastic for women, actually. 70 years ago was a pretty dark era if one was not a white male, in good health. And the further back you go, objectively the worse it gets. I'm pretty good with not going back to that, it wasn't a great look for society. YMMV
