There are three things with Tester, one good, two bad.
Bad - the demographic shift in Montana has been accelerating during COVID. Some people "Yellowstone". Basically a shitload of conservatives from liberal states have flocked to Montana and brought the vibe WAY down. There also used to be a concept in Montana of "vote for the most Montana-est candidate" that has historically led to state-wide offices other than President to be pretty competitive. Before the current, absolutely horrible R Governor (Gianforte), we had a two term Dem governor. Tester is another example. That trend has all but disappeared over the last few elections as people with no ties to Montana, but strong ties to conservative politics, have moved to the state.
The other negative is this is a presidential election year, so the Trumpers might be more motivated to vote.
The one boon Tester has going for him right now is that there is an abortion referendum on the ballot. As we've seen in a few other states, having a yes/no option to protect women's reproductive freedom has been bringing out the votes for democrats. Montana is a small state (~1.2 million people) so it doesn't take much to swing a race one way or the other.
It's pretty sad too because Sheehy and Gianforte are basically incredibly unlikeable. Absolutely vile pieces of trash, and they'll probably win anyway.

No one ever mentions this movie but my favorite movie is The Fountain, with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz.
It's basically a love story set in three timelines, with absolutely amazing music, dark storytelling, and an unbelievably satisfying ending. A lot of it is left up to interpretation but it's not overly complicated. Cemented me as a huge fan of Aronofsky even if he's not always a pop culture favorite.

This is bullshit. The Secretary of State in Montana is a woman. The GOP is both con men AND con women.

Did you even read your own link?
But uh, is Armstrong a Scientologist?
That’s the big question! Armstrong has never publicly identified with the Church of Scientology, though she did attend a gala in 2013.
The "evidence" is that she attended a gala over a decade ago? I'm not saying she's not a scientologist, but a celebrity attending a single event over a decade ago doesn't make them a member of the group.

Thanks for the link! I agree - a few songs there were some notable "slumps" compared to what I would have expected from Chester, but there were also some parts that came across a little better? She has a great voice for the singing parts, and a really respectable scream.
Waiting for the End almost made me cry.
As someone who grew up loving Linkin Park, I am hesitantly excited. The single they released is actually pretty good - The Emptiness Machine.

Fair enough. Probably one of those areas where Ds and Rs agree, but for different reasons.
Like when you say "America is going in the wrong direction" and Ds are like "yeah, we're moving rightward and closer to a Christian theocracy and it sucks" and Rs are like "yeah, we're moving leftward and toward a woke secular communist state"
I guess it just struck me as gross because we have like significantly more people locked up in the US than any other country on earth.

Doesn't show up differently on Voyager, luckily, so it's really easy to spot right away. I don't want to block outright because it's better to at least be able to see when some bullshit needs to be countered.

Only 34% of Americans and barely over half of Harris supporters believing in Trans rights is pretty fucking depressing.
61% believing the criminal justice system is too lenient? What the fuck?
63% believing the government should ensure health care (including 1/3 of republicans) is encouraging at least.
Over half of both parties (55%D, 76%R) believe the US should be the world's only superpower. Barf.
America really sucks sometimes.

Spry, fuck yes.
Progressive, in a lot of ways yes. Even just looking at what her and Biden have accomplished, pushing and pushing for student loan reform, climate action, judges, drug costs, infrastructure, cannabis reform (off the top of my head), it's a lot more than we've gotten from some other administrations.
Obviously there are always ways she could be MORE progressive for my taste, and she's not an AOC or Bernie, but she's good uh... well, progress.

Wow, so surprising they would pick one of the most hotly contested senate races in the country with a vulnerable incumbent Democrat. Total coincidence I'm sure, and not at all an effort to help the Republican.
The green party cares about the environment man.
It's just that it's the political environment. Fucking trash.

I think they meant singing - they might be referring to the "deepfake" tech that was taking old photos and making them seem like they were singing 80s songs.
> A New York appeals court on Monday agreed to hold off collection of former President Donald Trump’s $454 million civil fraud judgment — if he puts up $175 million within 10 days. > If he does, it will stop the clock on collection and prevent the state from seizing his assets while he appeals. Delay. Delay. Delay.
