This is a dumb article, but also isn't the author's first rodeo, and his other writing shows the real reason he doesn't vote "But my principal reason for declining to take part in elections is moral. It involves, I suppose, a private objection to democracy itself." theweek.com/articles/802...

Here it is, the dumbest thing you will read today www.nytimes.com/2024/07/04/o...

Sorry, folks, this year "no vote" is a vote for fascism, don't be that person, voting is a necessary if not entirely sufficient act

In more uplifting news I introduced my 70 YO Mom to @ifbookspod.bsky.social two days ago. Her thoughts boil down to: @michaelhobbes.bsky.social sounds like Jane Lynch (This is a compliment) @notalawyer.bsky.social should give updates on the shelf (We started with MAFM/WAFV).

Just read this column on who could replace Biden if he steps aside: wapo.st/3Lcqsng One aspect I'd be interested in knowing if @perrybaconjr.bsky.social would be inclined to answer - What happens if Dems go down this road from a media PoV? Is it all "Dems in disarray" stories until 11/5?

Opinion | If not Biden, who?wapo.st Five columnists rate the field of potential replacements for the Democratic presidential nominee.

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

By the time the doctors in Boise put her on a plane for Salt Lake City, she’d already lost a liter of blood New standard of care just dropped:

She Needed an Emergency Abortion. Doctors in Idaho Put Her on a Plane.www.nytimes.com In states that have banned abortion, hospitals have struggled to treat pregnant women facing health risks. A Supreme Court decision this week did not help.

Just in case he ever checks, I wanted to say thank you to @fightincowboy.bsky.social for his excellent Elden Ring walk thru. I just picked the game back up last week & playing alongside the guide has been a great way to unwind.

I'm suffering FOMO re: Shadow of the Erdtree. We've packed up most everything as we're planning to move soon and I can't figure out which taped box my copy of Elden Ring is in. Pinponging btwn "Just buy a digital copy!" & "Rip open boxes!". Neither is good!

John Oliver does the best policy explainers. This is why I was excited to talk to Last Week Tonight's producers about the effects of Schedule F on government. Watch the segment, and read more about this attack on public services: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-public...

Oh look, another great Biden program that people don't know about and that Trump will kill if he wins. Fucking vote for Biden, man. Just do it. grist.org/solutions/am...

The American Climate Corps officially kicks offgrist.org This month, 9,000 people will be deployed to restore landscapes and erect solar panels, helping guide the country toward a greener future.

Quick reminder that while this guy got jail time, other cops have gotten probation for actual rape. wapo.st/4b6ObPX

The cop filmed the whole incident himself with his phone. What the fuck is wrong with cops?

An officer sexually abused a teen in his police car. How will he be punished?wapo.st South Bend police officer Timothy Barber met a teen at an Indiana Chick-fil-A and then sexually abused her in his patrol car. What punishment does he deserve?

Listening to @zitron.bsky.social via Better Offline about the rot economy has primed me for a meeting I'm walking into with a tech company. I look forward to asking how they're making money and being met with blank stares. Let's do this thing!

To the parents who have been planning Christenings, birthday parties, dedications, or some other family wide get together for this weekend and didn't even want to invite some of the people who will be attending - Good luck and start drinking now.

i am always looking to diversify my freelance base of people who do video game reviews/criticism but right now i am definitely looking for more folks who are into strategy games (all kinds) and roguelikes/lites. send to: maddy at polygon dot com with writing examples! (please repost/share this)

I've realized adulthood is essentially just unlocking new things to stress you out. Newest level: Selling our home while living in it. Bravo to those with kids who can juggle this. I find it difficult enough to distract the pups while vacuuming & entertaining them for a tight 30.

It is absolutely possible to be firmly anti-Hamas and firmly against Netanyahu and the actions of the Israeli government. It is also absolutely possible to be firmly against genocide and firmly against anti-Semitism. These are not mutually exclusive things. We should be railing against them all.

Surprised by cold weather gear for our dogs by a co-worker yesterday! Took a quick photo shoot with a healthy supply of treats helping.

If the shoplifting of baby formula is epidemic, the main problem is not the shoplifting.

FWIW if you are shocked to discover that cops will gladly treat you like a rabid dog even if you're a smart and respectable middle-aged person who wears business casual to work, I have nothing but love and solidarity for you. It is shocking. It should be shocking. Let's work together. We can fix it.

No, this shows the challenges of picking a jury for a defendant who has a history of intimidation campaigns against jurors and court officers and also organizing political violence. This is not about polarization.

Just finished binging Fallout! I enjoy the games & greatly enjoyed the show. Goggins was fantastic but Purnell owns every scene IMO. I can understand if some people don't like it's not a direct adaptation of any games and some lore/events/dates seem off. Still a damn good time in this wasteland.

I have a theory: The more signs you see at a pro wrestling event, the more popular the product is. I don't think we'll ever see Attitude Era levels of posters again. But the signs are growing all the same! 🤼

Snoop not giving a shit about being mic'ed and just going full stream of consciousness is amazing. "OH! WATCH YOUR BACK! WATCH YOUR BACK BOBBY!" 🤼

Digging the different energy to start night 2 of Mania! Not everything needs to be 20-30 minutes of back & forth. Sometimes we just want to see freakish athletes spamming heavy attacks and finishers!

It's been a year and I'm still mad LA Knight didn't get an appearance at last year's Mania when it was IN LA. Hoping for the Megastar to show up and show out tonight! 🤼
