I’m 100% sure that within 10 years the New York Times will have a think piece about how raising the wages of Indian child sex doll AI-programmers on the New Bengal Barge moored close to Liberty Island sets a dangerous precedent.

Daenaerys sort of does end up embodying a Clinton analogue over the course of the show. Her humanitarianism is mostly just a cover for her own personal obsession and ambitions; i.e. it's more important that she's loved than that slavery is wiped out as an institution in Esteros, since she leaves them all to try and conquer Westeros. Then when the chips are down and she's really needed, she's kind of useless and willing to jeopardize everything if it means she gets to be queen. Even bringing her most powerful assets to the table, which are the dragons and the Dothraki screamers, does more to help the dead than the living.
I would really want to become incredibly famous. I'd constantly comment on politics but instead of relating everything to Game of Thrones and Harry Potter I'd go for Mortdecai.

"Buttigieg getting the nomination? About as likely as Charlie Mortdecai shaving his moustache!"

"Did you see the debate? Kamala Harris looked like she had as much fun as Sir Graham at the end of Mortdecai."

"If Bernie has a lot of candidates for VP? Let's just say that there are quite a few people going after him like Alistair Martland after Johanna Mortdecai."

UK politics are so loving weird. At least the vast majority of US right wing freaks manage to keep a facade of normalcy most of the time.

How ANY person on earth could vote for that loving freak Widdecombe is unbelievable. Louis Theroux did an episode on her that is on YouTube.

Hot take from me: how about everyone worried about “overpopulation” just kill themselves to help alleviate the problem? But I somehow have the feeling that they don’t consider themselves a part of the problem. It’s always some guy in China or India.

Among a million similar posts this one was just the perfect storm of awful. I'm online poisoned but since I'm not american I had no idea who Steve Kornacki is. So I looked him up and he's just some NBC News guy so I couldn't quite figure out why he was on this insane lady's list. You'd expect Rachel Maddow at least.

Like, I can understand the "girlboss" thing. Women are underrepresented in positions of power and if you're a liberal I guess you'd want symbols of liberal feminism in your cabinet. "random antifa protestor" tells you exactly how much she cares about any of the issues the protests are about so that makes sense.

But Steve Kornacki? A guy who's according to wikipedia always been just some news guy who wrote a book in 2018 called "The Red and the Blue: The 1990s and the Birth of Political Tribalism" and hosted "a podcast for NBC News covering the inquiry and impeachment of President Donald Trump called Article II: Inside Impeachment." What kind of psycho would idolize him?

Obviously, it's a joke post. But Kornacki was NBC News' election night analyst and over the course of the past 4 days, he's been on NBC pretty much constantly with reporting and analysis, and got almost no sleep the entire period, while still keeping up high energy in his reporting, so there have been all sorts of jokes about him in relation to that including that he, of everybody, is happiest about them declaring Biden the winner so he can finally go home, see his family, and go to sleep.
Ah, that explains it. And this whole thing about reporters not sleeping is deeply depraved. Oh, imagine the horror of not having the same person pointing at a map a repeating what everyone already knows!

First article I found:

quote:

.The exceedingly long work days of politically-focused anchors during and after Election Day has been a subject of fascination for social media users in 2020, with CNN chief national correspondent John King and NBC News national political correspondent Steve Kornacki specifically becoming the subjects of many memes during a long vote-counting period. On Twitter, users crowned them "Chartthrobs" and documented when each took breaks.

Jesus wept!

Sounds good to me!

edit: This "third" way seems very sensible. I'm sure it has worked out for the best wherever it's been implemented.
