if we’re at “biden must” give a televised speech go on the radio collapse in the polls speak at multiple rallies meet with key dems do a press conference then i think it’s fair to ask what literally all of us are doing here

I don't think most voters want a Uniter in Chief this cycle to run against the convicted felon: they want a prosecutor.

If you're having sex with someone in your employ, who lives in your home, and is 20+ years younger than you, then you are a terrible creep who should seek therapy. Even the kind version of the Gaiman news is irredeemably awful.

The adjective most commonly used when defending Biden's candidacy seems to be that a speaking appearance of his was "fine." That word keeps coming up and it is not comforting.

Biden did at least two live radio interviews with local hosts in Wisconsin & Pennsylvania in the last couple days. They were fine & it's a smart way to reach voters in those battleground states. The DC press are not happy with this.

We should all go to bed at 8pm. If you stay up late it's because you hate the planet and want to elect Trump. Anyway it's always 8pm somewhere. And most bad things happen during the day. I do my best thinking right after I go to bed. Do clocks even work on the Moon?

Omg he just told us he's sundowning ."No events after 8pm" means "I can't be president after 8pm." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/04/biden-independence-day-message-trump-values/

Biden told governors he needs to get more sleep, avoid events after 8 p.m.www.washingtonpost.com The president also told the Democratic leaders at a White House meeting Wednesday that he’d received a checkup after last week’s debate.

Epochal.

It is absolutely telling that the guy who is second most responsible for salvaging Biden's candidacy in 2020 (behind Obama) is talking about the mechanics of replacing Biden rather than blanket support statements

Do not worry about the numerous attempts to ban masks all you need to do to circumvent such bans is get elected president and then declare that you are wearing a mask as an official act.

Thanks for saying this.

It's been interesting to see the consensus on this site harden in realtime around the idea that not only is sticking with Biden the obvious correct choice for Dems no matter what other facts might emerge, but that anyone who suggests otherwise is either dishonest, an idiot or a handmaiden of fascism

The Supreme Court just gave the greenlight for state, county and municipal criminalization of homelessness. The increased negative framing and punitive social norms toward poverty and homelessness are going to lead to more assaults and murders of unhoused people.

At least 88 unhoused people were killed in Maricopa County, AZ, between 2021-2023, and that's almost certainly an undercount, as it doesn’t include dozens of homicide victims whose housing status the county couldn’t confirm. Experts say the deaths are a microcosm of a worrying national trend.

It actually does not mean that. At all. It means exactly what it says. "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free" It is a call to for freedom for all people living in historic Palestine. If you think Palestinian freedom means the destruction of Israel, you are admitting Israel is not free.

This man is making his evil intentions as crystal-clear as they possibly could be, and everyone who cares about humanity should be blasting that message out in every possible venue.

Back in late 2020 I advocated for expelling all the members of Congress who voted against certifying, then using the rump majorities you'd gain after to pass court reform (who'd ratify the legality of this maneuver). Radical proposal! but the alternatives of doing nothing were more radical

Yep

Y'all, I'm sorry but grandpa's not up to this.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

The thing about "generic person" is there's no such thing--it always carries cultural assumptions about who the default is. XKCD's stick figure is not a girl. The strip's intelligibility is reliant on the cultural understanding that a character isn't a girl until it's marked as a girl.

although tbh, the emergent behavior of the market may be irrational, but the vast majority of actors are behaving rationally up to the limit of their computational power (very polynomially bounded) and their understanding of relative likelihoods (subjective to begin with and likely poorly updated)

In any community, police are always the most dangerous, destructive people in it.

Father kills mother, kidnaps daughter. Police chase father. His car is stopped. The daughter crawls towards police on the order of a police officer. Deputies start shooting at her and don't stop even when ordered. She dies. It took two years to get the video.
