  1. ... and will continue to lose as long as people whine like you do about being people being Neoliberal.

  2. Yeah, I'm gonna invest in ENTERTAINMENT TALKING HEADS with mere personal assertion and Long Dead Opinions from OTHER TALKING HEADS WHO NEVER MADE IT! Adam, I'm impressed with so much of your actual and factual presentations, but this political bloviation is just the release of more global warming efflatus.

  3. Sorry, TV got BETTER THAN THE BRAIN-DEAD YUK-YUK/JOCK HEAD PROGRAMS IT USED TO BE!!! Now, I can watch FAR BETTER programming from around the World, and the standards I have, while higher than Soccer Moms/Karens and Futball Dads, now STILL mean I've got a far larger population to select from. BTW, I DID NOT WATCH A SINGLE EFFING SHOW YOU MENTIONED ON YOUR LIST AS 'BEST'. For example, who wants the miserable Veep when The Thick of It is available with Iannucci in FAR better form?! Go back to your Lowest Common Denominator schtick-and-schlock TV if you want, but I'm not that craven to pay to subsidize YOUR taste.

  4. How does YouTube recommend stuff to me that I HATE almost as routinely as Netflix?!

  5. Let's not forget, though, the SOB/S that the Vulture Capitalists keep on trotting out every time they try to steal from everybody else: "Business would be crazy to do things that destroy their Bottom Line and Shareholder Value!" The 5 letter response to that utter pig manure: ENRON!!

  6. To quote Francis Bacon ..., "There is in human nature generally, more of the fool than of the wise; and therefore those faculties, by which the foolish part of men’s minds is taken, are most potent." Followed up by a description of why Duh-Nald is so popular with Ig'nant MAGAts ..., "Wonderful like is the case of boldness in civil business: what first? boldness; what second and third? boldness. And yet boldness is a child of ignorance and baseness, far inferior to other parts. But nev- ertheless it doth fascinate, and bind hand and foot, those that are either shallow in judgment, or weak in courage, which are the great- est part; yea and prevaileth with wise men at weak times. Therefore we see it hath done wonders, in popular states; but with senates, and princes less; and more ever upon the first entrance of bold persons into action, than soon after; for boldness is an ill keeper of promise. Surely, as there are mountebanks for the natural body, so are there mountebanks for the politic body; men that undertake great cures, and perhaps have been lucky, in two or three experiments, but want the grounds of science, and therefore cannot hold out."

  7. Actually reminds me of The Red Shiny Robots of Vortis being beaten by the Hyperdrive crew by them 'remembering' things like "Gondoliers only come to dry land to mate" and the like to bust the AI in the Robots' computer that is amalgamating The Harvest. I predict a long, lingering, costly "Clippy-Style" Death. But, by then the investors and upper management will no longer be telling the "AI Department" that they're ALL FIRED unless they produce some results after the decade of $$$$ they've been given. "And there was much rejoicing!"

  8. AI/AGI is just a couple grad student careers away ..., just like Fusion Power Plants were just a couple grad student careers away FIFTY YEARS AGO, AND HAS CONTINUED TO BE ... Current AI is just a panic by AI research groups after the investors asked, "Why shouldn't I just LAY YOU OFF? What have you done for me LATELY?!"

  9. You've never had a dream in your sleep, then? Or, are you just a Tory/MAGA?

  10. The internet and the internet bros that have captured the eyes of the 'dainty ones' in the Democrats, the Professional Democrats, are just Vulture Capitalist spinoffs, so is it any surprise that the STENCH of Vulture Capitalism has infected politics and turned people into just Amazon Voters?! I contributed to the Dems so they would HIRE people to go out and get others involved LIKE YOU SUGGEST! I don't need the atmosphere of the old "3rd Ward Democratic Assn" or "5th Ward Polish American Club" to get me to vote or vote Democratic, and I am now too busy and tired to go out and canvass myself, anymore. But, that doesn't mean they are not needed for a lot of other people, and that I would not belong to one and pay dues, but not really wander down to them for 'community' ..., just like I do for the local VFW chapter I belong to ... Funny how this was a KEY message of old "Yee Haaah" Howard Dean, who was key in grass roots organizations staffed by PEOPLE, that got plowed under by the Clintons and following sycophants because it wasn't Fleetwood Mac Chic. Dean got put into that organization position BECAUSE he was too 'proletarian' for the Lamestream Media's taste, another group of Booboisie-Grade, Chi-Chi Barbecue Cookout snobs. I grew up blue collar and have seen a huge change in Democrats over the years, and not for the good.

  11. The Democrats AREN'T EFFECTIVE WHATEVER THEY CAMPAIGN ON! They have had 2 years of power under Obama, and have let the GOP urinate on their parade for almost the entirety of the rest of the time, and letting the GOP successfully BLAME THE DEMOCRATS!! The Dems are ineffectual and don't have any concrete, take it to the bank issues that they EVER STAND UP FOR! They are so interested in being The Good Guys they have forgotten YOU HAVE TO WIN ELECTIONS TO GOVERN. At least Clinton knew, "IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!" ..., AND had a 3rd party to split the vote in the first election.

  12. Sorry, "Progressive" has been kidnapped to mean 'Even More Suspect Than Socialist", like why Teddy Roosevelt lost with the Bull Moose Party in a Proto-Gilded Age of Predatory Capitalism. The Dems don't care about working people unless they are in the minority demographics and can be turned into feel-good 'aspriational' campaign issues instead of the issues like THE PRICE OF GAS and THE PRICE OF FOOD. Those are issues THAT ACTUALLY AFFECTS PEOPLE HERE AND NOW!! THAT image of Dems who don't care about 'food on the table' issues is what rules NOW. This election was turned on the same suburban swing voters that elected Biden, previously, because they saw him as someone who knew THEIR problems. Harris was first, a minority, and, second, a woman, and, third, a candidate spewing 'Glittering Generalities'. That is the ugly truth about US politics. That is why HARRIS WAS THE VP ON BIDEN'S TEAM, NOT BIDEN THE VP ON HARRIS' TEAM. The last election ALSO was turned on people WHO DIDN'T BOTHER TO TURN UP for any number of the above reasons. The Dems did NOTHING to sell their record nor condemn their opponents ON REAL BREAD AND BUTTER ISSUES!! SO OBVIOUSLY, the people who actually vote PREFERRED TRUMP as being able to 'fix' things.

  13. We've seen the 'working class' doesn't vote unless they're motivated like the MAGAs were. The Middle Class is NOT 'working class' EITHER, by their own estimation.

  14. When you're a CROOK with a retinue of SMALLER CROOKS, you don't have to be right, just stay richer than the SMALLER CROOKS. Note how that explains Duh-Nald with Space Karen AND Space Karen and the Fanbois?!

  15. Sorry, the 'video game industry' being 'in crisis' is utterly LAUGHABLE! That you think it is an 'art' just shows you have no idea what 'art' is, nor is your sense of actual value founded on anything but the B/S Madison Avenue and a flood of intellectually-challenged 'game reviewers' sling at the wall ..., and you scrape off the wall "... and call it macaroni ..." You are usually interesting in things like AI, but this is really just a lot of sound and fury, signifying NOTHING. The World will go on without video games, and maybe people will find ways of creating meaning in their lives that is not based on such pathetically adolescent foundations. Look at yourself and the people you have talking about this ..., you are immature not intellectual, at best.

  16. Clinton signed NAFTA into law with all opposition in his party ignored AND PUNISHED. Union members and other blue collar workers remember that betrayal. I do, and I'm not even solid blue collar, just grew up that way.

  17. "It's the ECONOMY, STUPID!" Out of the past 16 years, the Dems have wielded power for 2 years, the beginning of Obama's terms. They pissed away all their power with the Tea Baggers, they continued their losing ways continually in spite of having the Bully Pulpit, because, heaven forefend, the Dems should play hardball with the GOP.

  18. I agree for many other reason why frauds like Musk et al. are Jerks, not really idiots. OTOH, I also agree 80% of 'Muricans are Below Average, and too stupid to realize that should not be possible. I'm also flipping a holiday bird to the judge who slammed Elizabeth Holmes to a harsh sentence merely because she couldn't ACT SORRY, as if being a good actor/psychopath should get her or anyone else out for "Time Served" because some goober judge bought the schtick and schlock. Anyway, that's MY Christmas Naught and NIce List.

  19. Just wondering how you expect the Dems to get a 'community' together when they are merely a party of splinter groups, anymore? Do you really think the Masons and all those 'voting-ward-centric' organizations were not awash to the scuppers in bigotry and exclusion?! I lived around the 'community organization' culture as a kid, and the atmosphere I saw was hardly anything to do with the Dems core values. For example, I NEVER saw an 'ethnic' in any of the clubs I went to with a friend who did belong.

  20. The Left keeps losing because it continues PREACHING FROM A SMUG PULPIT OF SUPERIORITY THAT GOES AGAINST ALL THE PREJUDICE AND BIAS THAT RELIGION'S SMUG SUPERIORITY SUPPORTS FROM ITS PULPIT! Guess what is more palatable to the voting public?! Guess what makes them feel 'warm and fuzzy' about voting for someone who 'understands' them, or will put people in power beneath them who DOES understand them?!
