I have not seen Le Bureau, and when The Agency came out I figured, oh great...I'll just watch this instead. Im hearing that it hews pretty close to the original. But okay, now we have this cliff hanger damn it. And I'm not even sure The Agency has been renewed. I'm tempted to watch the original but I'm afraid it will reduce my enjoyment of The Agency.
“The party’s most glaring mistake might still have come in Maine. Kleban, of course, could still have lost to Platner, whose expansive populist agenda won over many progressive voters. But Kleban almost certainly would have been a more passable alternative than 78-year-old Mills, whom in-state Democrats say was reluctant to run in the first place and ran an underwhelming campaign.
“If Schumer had come to Maine and just talked to Janet's best friends, he’d have found out that none of them wanted her to run,” said one source with knowledge of the situation. “All of the people who knew her personally, overwhelming sentiment up here, there was no one here who thought it was a good idea.””

I thought, how nice, until he tacitly endorsed America absorbing Greenland. It's amazing the lengths 'conservatives' will go to embrace Trump's mental diarrhea.
I’m sure the companies reporting sales of their boats are not making it up, but I believe it’s a smaller group of individuals buying more, as opposed to more people having access to a new boat. (Even a pretty modest 17’ Boston Whaler can cost upwards of $60-70k, and many of their models get wayyyy into the hundreds of thousands, some exceeding $1m).

Hope to see some growth here. Filed under products I’ll never be able to afford but for some reason root for…
I want everybody to get really excited for the new ride at Funtown Splashtown. It’s called ‘insurance death spiral.’ 💀🌀 🥳
Unpopular opinion but I think the ruling on asylum claims is fine. It doesn’t make sense to me that a person will pass through multiple countries only so they can apply for asylum in the US specifically.
That being said, the US absolutely should have programs where people can apply from abroad and get transported here. Haitians, Ukrainians, Syrians etc should be welcome here…but for those transiting in typical ways, I’m sorry there is no reason to me why someone coming from El Salvador can’t apply for away in any of the countries they pass through on the way.
Pretty weird as the split ring is not under load. It was a very flat day with little wind so I just ran home, got a standard A frame ladder and fixed it with a cotter pin. I strapped the ladder to my mast but it was not unstable at any time. The boat is a Tanzer 22 so not large enough for me to hoist myself up. In less than a couple hours I was sailing again.
I am an idiot. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I love Hacks on Tap and find Mike to be a great pod host, and occasional Bulwark guest. I do however find it hilarious how often his predictions are dead wrong. I listened to the recent ep with Lis Smith last night and the agreement was that maybe one of the Mamdani backed candidates would win but otherwise it's a real mess...
Literally like 2 hours later I see that Mamdani's picks utterly swept the scene. All this hand wringing about how Mamdani was using up his political capital on losers, to his eventual detriment, only for him to be named as king maker in the end.
Punditry should really avoid predictions of any kind.
Absolutely love the copium here. The comments seem to still be claiming that Harris would somehow be worse than this dystopian shit show. It’s incredible how brain rotted these people are. Conservative media has destroyed this country.
Really hooked just on Ep 1. Finally got a chance to watch last night. Not seeing it super high in the rankings so I'm hoping to get some more attention on it. Check it out! It's great.
I'd love to see Ronald D Moore on the pod.
There is no coming back for his approval rating. He doesn't just look old, he is now officially The Biggest Loser. His age is going to continue to decline, the economy will not recover as long as he is doing his normal dipshittery. The insider stories are going to start free flowing like in Trump 1.0.
I could be wrong. Been wrong before. But he really has no good options.
The last clean transition from VP to POTUS was GHW Bush. Biden was special circumstances. Just due to thermostatic politics should not anyone wanting a future career in politics avoid the VP slot like the plague? I mean if JD Vance thought being Trump’s gimp would be a stepping stone to the top slot…that’s just about the dumbest thing ever.
At the very least, the NYT is finally just saying basically “we lost the war in Iran”. But it’s so frustrating to me that the utterly pathetic actions by Trump, let alone his corruption, is just not in the broad conversation about him.
This man changed the name of the Kennedy Center to the Donald J Trump *and John F Kennedy* Center. Are you fucking kidding me? This should be a global joke. Perhaps an interstellar joke. But I feel like only political nerds know about it?
Then you have his health, which is non existent. The man is basically narcoleptic. *We* talk about this but shouldn’t it be a bigger deal that this man can’t stay awake during a single meeting?
Take the loss of the recent Apache helicopter. Conservative media would be dissecting that *to death* just to paint it as the fault of either the SoD or POTUS himself. We just kind of let this stuff go.
The fact is, Trump is just a sad pathetic little man. Why can’t our media portray him that way?
No one will believe this but he probably just really did kill himself.
