I just read an article that said "Why is it taking so long for your favorite movies and tv series to air? Blame the writers and actor strikes" No I won't. I'm blaming that ✨single✨ motherfucker at the studio who makes $250 million dollars a year who's one job is supposed to make this shit happen.

France has a lesson for us all. Turn out, turn away from fascism.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.

Meanwhile, stories on a raving authoritarian lunatic who confused Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi are confined to Yahoo! News Singapore and Huffington Post, not the Democracy Dies in Darkness people.

After his halting performance at a debate against Donald Trump, President Biden’s senior aides face worries among fellow Democrats and sharp accusations from Republicans that they took steps to conceal the effect the president’s aging has had on his ability to carry out his duties.

Debate brings scrutiny of whether aides shielded signs of Biden’s agingwww.washingtonpost.com Biden, aides now grappling with accusations they strongly reject that they were not candid with the public about how his age impacted his ability to do the job.

Wow, maybe competence and experience really does matter for public services. Who knew? (Anyone who studies public organizations. Or, really, anyone with an ounce of common sense).

According to research from @jjacobkirksey.bsky.social, in TX "Students with new uncertified teachers lost the equivalent of about four months of learning in reading and three months in math."

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

One more bit before we go to the Twins game… Our local farmers market sells a variety of pet stuff. (More on that later!) @megsf.bsky.social found the perfect tag for Wickson. Call it fate, karma, or serendipity, but it matched his existing name tag and expresses his personality perfectly.

my friend asked the other day how i planned to cover the growing fascism here and i said “i guess continue writing about it til i’m sent to prison? lol” it was a flip thing to say but it’s hard to imagine ever stopping. or fleeing. i’m feeling not quite patriotic, but protective of this country.

pretty stunning how the billionaire class(and yes that means the legacy media) have completely turned on Biden. They'd rather have a fascist dictatorship than pay taxes and a living wage to employees. Insane power grab in front of the cameras

Every pundit fretting over Biden’s age should mention that he could be a walking corpse and electing him would still be the only way to protect abortion rights.

Can’t make Trump’s unfitness for office the talking point: that’s “boring”. So, gotta go with what gets the attention now, and that’s arguing that Biden is unfit. Once again: there are legitimate questions about Biden, but the attack dogs are more interested in controversy than enlightenment.

I am personally obsessed with the idea of centering how Trump will break promises, lie to people, steal from them, and pretend it’s their fault as the negative message of this campaign. People *really* don’t like January 6, and “oath-breaker” is a great epithet to remind people why.

This is a place where Trump is actually vulnerable. He will not answer questions. He tries to avoid being on record so that he can do whatever he wants. That’s a winning topic! He broke his oath to the Constitution and now he’s lying to you so he can do it again. People don’t like breaking promises!
