  • Failed at the first line:

    "Jonathan Kent becomes Spider-Man at 21"

    After that it no longer matters if Clark or Lois are in character. Random crossovers aside, Spider-Man is not a thing in the DC Universe.

  • Jeffries says Trump impeachment not a top priority if Dems win House majority

    Jump

  • Sand in the gears won't win votes. At a minimum, we need a majority in the Senate and kill the filibuster. If the Republicans want to vote down good legislation, let them, and then hang their votes around their necks in the next election.

    Current example, raising the minimum wage to $25:

    https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_c2590dcd-be1b-40db-ba35-89fa602f813d.html

    The problem here is that it's raised by Democrats, which means it won't even come up for a vote, you can't hold them responsible for votes that don't happen.

    So, win the House, pass the legislation, and let the Republicans vote it down in the Senate.

    "Here are the people keeping you from earning $25 an hour!"

    The internal SSD is all the normal Steam Deck stuff, the microsd is all emulation, and the external 2tb is a Windows 11 boot drive.

  • There is literally nothing we can do to hold him accountable as long as Republicans control the Senate and he controls the Justice Department, that's the problem.

    Fixing the system means a major, major overhaul of, well, everything and that starts with regaining the House and Senate. That will not happen if we get sidetracked with a 3rd doomed impeachment.

    ComicList: New Comic Book Releases List for 04/29/2026

    Jump

  • The Berzerker was a great read, but I was always a Solomon Kane fan myself.

  • People who used to criticize AI content and now you like it, can you explain why?

    Jump

  • I'm against AI slop, but I can see it being used effectively as a creative tool to take the grunt work out of creative works.

    For example, one of my aunts is a published author and she has taken to using AI as an editorial assistant.

    In her words:

    "Speaking of AIs, I'm using ChatGPT as a story editor, assisting me with matters such as voice, tone, structure, plotting, cadence, pacing, character development, etc. It's like working with an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable human story editor. Better, because it's free; a human equivalent would cost a lot, perhaps thousands."

    To be clear, she still does all the writing, ChatGPT is merely offering editorial advice. I could see providing it a text and asking it to show every case where tense is mismatched, or any shifts from 1st person to 3rd person, that kind of thing.

    At that point is it really any worse than an advanced spell or grammar checker?

  • Jeffries says Trump impeachment not a top priority if Dems win House majority

    Jump

  • There are legal tools besides impeachment, but like I say, it's not a matter of not knowing the full path to victory when it comes to impeachment, there literally is no path to victory. Plus the legal tools are currently controlled by the opposition.

    If 2026 goes the way we expect, the 50% majority in the House will be easy enough.

    If we want impeachment, we have to run on it now. Get No Kings to swing the Senate races.

    Right now it's 53 Republican, 45 Democratic, 2 Independent (caucusing with Democrats).

    33 Senate seats are up for re-election in '26, we need to flip 22 seats to win impeachment, maybe only 20 if Collins and Murkowski are willing to play ball. 4 seats will flip control, but control is not enough to impeach.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_Senate_elections

    If we can't get 20-22 Senate seats, there is no point pushing impeachment. It only has the desired effect of making the Democrats look bad and that hurts them in the run up to '28.

  • Jeffries says Trump impeachment not a top priority if Dems win House majority

    Jump

  • Except impeachment lets the Republicans play the victim card in '28. So impeachment both does nothing, and lets the Republicans go "See those Democrats are just mean!" in '28.

    Instead, you pass good legislation and if the Republicans kill it, you hang them with it in '28.

    "Living minimum wage? Republicans say no. Universl health care? Republicans say no. Functional immigration? Republicans say no."

    Way harder to do that if you hand them the loaded gun of a 3rd failed impeachment.

  • Jeffries says Trump impeachment not a top priority if Dems win House majority

    Jump

  • He absolutely has committed impeachable offenses, the problem is we need 67 votes in the Senate to convict him and the Senate absolutely will not do it.

    So we'd end up with the same results as the last two times, Susan Collins and "I think he learned his lesson" and all that.

    Nobody held the Senators accountable either. So there's no point even pretending at this point.

    What moves the needle is flipping the House in '26, getting good legislation passed, then holding the House in '28, flipping the Senate, and winning the Presidency.

    THEN we can talk about the best ways to change the system.

    I'd start with upper end age limits across the board for all three branches. It would need an amendment to do that.

    Ideally, make it so convicted felons can't be President.

    And term limits.

    Jump

  • Performative impeachment lets the Republicans play the victim card in '28.

    Passing good legislation that gets defeated by Republicans in the Senate or vetoed by Trump gives them ammunition for even more flips in '28.

  • Jeffries says Trump impeachment not a top priority if Dems win House majority

    Jump

  • It shouldn't be, because unless there's a 2/3rds majority in the Senate it will be the exact same as the last two times.

    Performative impeachment is pointless. Draft good legislation, then either let the Senate shoot it down or Trump veto it, and hold them all accountable in the '28 election.

  • Anyone know if this apple tree can be saved?

    Jump

  • I'd say the rot at the base makes it not worth the effort of trying to save it. Anything around the base of the tree like that is a bad sign.

    Talk to an arborist to be 100% sure.
