DeSantis has arbitrarily removed/replaced more elected Democrats from office than any modern Florida governor as a means of usurping the rights of voters in blue districts. Then they attempt to disguise themselves as Democrats to retain office in low-turnout local elections.
Some context: DeSantis had removed the sheriff from office in this county, replacing him with the current sheriff. Initially a Republican, new sheriff switched parties to run as a Dem in this blue area. (And DeSantis called him one of his favorite Dems.) boltsmag.org/broward-sher...

So, trying to find out if dystonia can be symptom of a metabolic disorder - put in dystonia and metabolic disorder into google, duckduckgo, reddit - you name it. All it brings up is metabolic disorder pages. This is becoming unusable too quickly.

Very nice headline now let's see the pull quote

I was the super weird kid, thought I wasn't taught to socialize, and only now learning the symptoms such that my 'weird'-ness is actually common 'this side' of the spectrum and held also by my autistic friends/relatives/partners. Learning how everyone else thinks has been infuriatingly enlightening.
I don't think everyone is "suddenly" having adhd and autism. I think millennials were raised by parents who were ashamed of having children that weren't "normal" so we were forced to mask so hard that we "seemed" normal but were "just a little strange" and now we're all learning to unmask.

All I want to know is how the average person makes money on the crash when the AI marketing nose dives. I'm not talking put and call options - too risky and too date specific. Did anyone make money off the dotcom bust?

"Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line." Just keep talking shit about your candidates, Dems. Keep other people from wanting to vote for them. Exercise your god given write to complain about them, and then exercise it again when they don't win.

At least this time round, the horseshoe swinging extreme left bots are mostly feeding more bots rather than people. I'm sure there's some in there, but it ain't 2016 levels.

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.
Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

its just ... so surreal and fucking terrible how many states have legislated that women are chattel animals
It's really weird (it's not really weird) how states that ban abortions are also states where women can't get leave to take care of their children.

remember when they told us kids weren’t really affected by covid so they could get everyone back to school and their parents to work and now everyone’s immune system is fucked and everyone’s sick all the time cuz no one is putting two and two together and that train just keeps rolling without brakes
