So what do we think the chances are that his base 100% adopts the "she's not even Black, she's Indian" talking point, now?

Eisenhorn is supposedly what will be adapted first for exactly the reasons you provided.

Actually!? That's amazing. Love the series.

I maintain that there is absolutely no way to do even the most minimum justice to the Warhammer 40K universe in a live action format without a budget that would make a financial executive drop dead from a coronary on the spot.

 

Anything less than that, and it would look as ridiculously cheesy as hell.

My opinion is that the best type of story to adapt is Eisenhorn, where you get a more "down-to-earth" view of the universe (as much as that is possible), and would be easier on a reasonable budget. Unfortunately, a large chunk of the WH40K fandom really just wants space marines killing 10,000 people per minute, and likely will be upset about anything else.

This is a line that is being parroted quite a bit by MAGA people right now. There is a legitimate belief among a decent % of the right-wing that "post-birth" abortions are legal in California and NY, and are being performed.

Here's the "say it to my face" line:

Also...UAW planning to endorse Harris.

There was a rift between Biden and the UAW, but Harris appears to have repaired it.

By all accounts she is killing it.

There's no way in hell that MI and PA would have a 15-point difference between Harris and Trump. 

Video game performers will go on strike over artificial intelligence concerns

Hollywood’s video game performers are going on strike, throwing part of the entertainment industry into another work stoppage after talks for a new contract with major game studios broke down over artificial intelligence protections.

Hollywood's video game performers voted to go on strike Thursday, throwing part of the entertainment industry into another work stoppage after talks for a new contract with major game studios broke down over artificial intelligence protections.

 

The strike — the second for video game voice actors and motion capture performers under the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists — will begin at 12:01 a.m. Friday. The move comes after nearly two years of negotiations with gaming giants, including divisions of Activision, Warner Bros. and Walt Disney Co., over a new interactive media agreement.

Quote

Union leaders say they aren't "anti-AI altogether." But voice actors and other video game performers are worried that unchecked use of AI could provide game makers with a means to displace them — by training an AI to replicate an actor's voice, or to create a digital replica of their likeness without consent.

"Sources" in KY say that Andy Beshear has received some kind of additional security detail. No confirmation if it's SS or anything else. He would be a dark horse pick, that's for sure.

We need a poll thread for betting. I think it's between Walz and Shapiro at this point - Kelly hasn't really been doing anything, I don't think he's auditioning for it. I want Walz, but I think she'll go Shapiro to secure PA, and then hope that alienating Muslim voters in MI won't lose them the state.

They should do a Daily Show/Jeopardy thing where they rotate the VP every few weeks to stir up ratings and get a good mix of personalities. 

White Dudes for Harris zoom call raised 4 million tonight. Tomorrow, Harris is doing a rally in Atlanta tomorrow (special guest Megan Thee Stallion) with an expected turnout of 15,000 to 20,000.

Roy Cooper Withdraws From Kamala Harris VP Sweepstakes - The New York Times

WWW.NYTIMES.COM

Mr. Cooper, the governor of North Carolina, had been seen as one of the half-dozen top candidates to join the Democratic presidential ticket. It was not immediately clear why he withdrew.

 

 

Apparently Whitmer has also (at least publicly) withdrawn. Though I don't think she was a top contender.

As someone who has not followed Whitmer rise in Michigan...holy crap, she is an effective speaker. Also likes to swear, which I actually think plays well with average people!
