The Constitution - That Delicate Balance ★ Lost Annenberg Series . More Series Information Page:...
These discussions were held in front of an audience at Columbia University Law School back in an era where you had to be cordial even if it's clear you hated each other, so it's a pretty interesting series of discussions.
They do a decent job of trying to balance voices from the left and right.
Warning, there are some super assholes who represent the right.

Clay was good enough for my great-grandfather when he was putting his signet ring on a ball to identify the amphora as coming from his market stall and it's good enough for me to read the Epic of Gilgamesh on. I just don't get these Egyptians.
After all, Putin just wants peace... A piece of Ukraine, a piece of Moldova, a piece of Poland...
Putin also has grandchildren. I imagine he cares about a legacy. People like him usually do.
I used to have this episode on tape.
I'm not super far from Michigan (west-central Indiana), so maybe they'll play nearby sometime. Thanks!
Do tell us which Western country @WoodScientist is from. Since you know they're a Westerner, and one with the ability to interfere with another nation's politics, no less.
I hate that the Harris campaign seems to feel the need to appeal to the "center" to win the election, but maybe they have internal polling that suggests that's the right way to go.
All I can do is hope she "flip-flops" back to her original, more progressive views if she gets elected.
That makes sense. 9/11 made the media go crazy for a while.
I don't mean anything insulting to the workers by it. I'm just saying that high schoolers can handle a job like that easily. And used to before the economy went to shit.
Tim Pool really recently said that he supports the death penalty for treason...
In case you missed the little summary above: Benny Johnson, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin are the big ones.
And if you've never heard of them, your average Trump voter has.
Not much capacity though, so I guess the "Giga-Train" has that advantage.

The joke, and I can't believe I have to explain it to you, is that if her milkshake brings the boys to the yard, they better make it worth making a milkshake.
If the song lyric was "my milkshake brings the girls to the yard," the joke would be exactly the same.
I didn't realize all of those countries were China. We can also add in Japan. Which I guess is also China?
Also, they censor the words "nuclear war" for some reason I can't imagine.
They know SCOTUS has their back.
Hey, reality TV host is a job. I'm sure he worked one, maybe two hours a week.
Have you experienced them or is this just your idea of what these people value most in their lives and consider the primary part of their identity based on internet discussions with complete strangers?
Nice. This was a small time operation. They didn't even have a permanent theater location. We moved 16mm projectors between a nightclub which showed the films twice a week and a theater on campus which they did some sort of deal I knew nothing about in order to show films there. And there was a separate theater on campus that also showed movies, so that was extra weird.
We usually had two projectors and had to wait until the reel ended on one, started the other ASAP, rewound the reel on the first one and then put the third reel (or did this process more than that if it was a longer film) on the first projector.
The nice thing for me was that the nightclub often did standup after the movie and I would stick around and hang out with the host who, also ran the sound board, became friendly with the comedians and eventually became the host myself, which got me into standup comedy and that got me a decent career doing comedy writing and other comedy-related things in L.A., so it all worked out pretty well.
On the other hand, it almost landed me in the hospital once when they decided to have a special outdoor showing of Rocky Horror at one of the dorms on their lawn and it was a particularly humid day and I saw all the moisture building up slowly around the projector as it got darker and darker out until the lamp blew up and the fireball narrowly missed me.
I worked a part-time job as a projectionist at an art house/indie/foreign film theater for a while in the 90s, and I was a regular patron before that, so I saw a lot of smaller movies in that era.
It's funny because I've seen hardly any new movies since my daughter was born. Too hard to go to the theater for years and I just sort of fell out of the habit of watching them.
Data meets Juliana Tainer, former wife of Dr. Noonien Soong and Data's "mother," but she holds a shocking secret that even she doesn't know she carries. "Captain's log, stardate 47410.2. The Atrean government has requested assistance in averting a natural disaster. Two of their geologists have come ...
> She reveals that one thing she and Soong couldn't possibly have anticipated was that Data didn't mind being naked, although some of the colonists certainly did as he is anatomically correct. The Soongs asked him to dress, but he didn't feel it was necessary as he didn't "suffer from the elements." With a laugh, Juliana concludes that they had to resort to writing a modesty subroutine just so Data would keep his clothes on.
Former President Donald Trump told the Fraternal Order of Police that officers should be on the lookout for alleged voter fraud in November's election.
As Kamala Harris races to capture the Big Mac Voter, the Trump campaign is doubling down on its demand for proof that she worked at McDonald's in college.“Why won’t they just provide real documentation and proof?” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in an email to the Daily Beast. “The onus ...
Apparently, "where's the paycheck" is the new "where's the birth certificate."

We really can't believe we have to do this after what's already a huge lemmy.world mess, but people keep shitposting about it and those shitposts just turn into whole new versions of the giant argument.
It isn't fun for anyone and it's a big headache for us.
This will only be temporary until things calm down.
Not a bad voice for Sam Gamgee though...
A dramatic image captured from a VDOT camera showed the crashed tractor-trailer appearing to be leaning on an overhead highway sign.
The game is Word Cookies by Bitmango. I contacted them but haven’t heard back. I’m guessing it was just an oversight, but it still pissed me off.
I know this isn’t exactly a meme, but I had to share and this community seemed most appropriate- from my daughter’s 8th grade social studies text. Digital and yet already woefully out of date thanks to SCOTUS.
