I'm simply saying I have never seen a picture of JD Vance where he did not look like a wax figure of himself 30 seconds into being melted down for scrap
Philosopher: "Would you kill baby Hitler?"
Vance: "No, of course not."
Philosopher: "Let's explore that. Is that becau—"
Vance: "I would work for adult Hitler."
From a Biden campaign official: “The Biden campaign is pausing all outbound communications and working to pull down our television ads as quickly as possible.” — Matt Viser, WaPo
The Guardian, where I’ve written for years, recently disclosed that much of its founding endowment came from the fortune of a British slave owner. It’s something I’ve grappled with privately, but have never, ever been bothered about on here. What do you think the difference is?
I want to start an ad campaign:
"Instead of high speed rail we got... Theranos."
TAX BILLIONNAIRES
"Instead of universal healthcare we got... Juicero."
TAX BILLIONNAIRES
"Instead of clean tap water we got... NFTs."
TAX BILLIONNAIRES
I have severe doubts about the scalability of social media.
One big problem is what I call the long tail of shitweasels. Any post, no matter how innocuous, gets nasty responses once you have enough followers.
Case and point, this response to the weekend thread about befriending crows.
What pisses me off to no end is how the coverage of the candidates exists in two separate vacuums.
Rather than being compared to EACH OTHER, Biden is compared to an ideal and Trump isn’t compared to anything at all! He’s just “the GOP nominee, popular with his base.”
“I’m not answering that until my five-time-bankrupted, rapist, convicted felon opponent is posed the same question, bub, and if you want to make a stink about it, Cornpop and the boys’ll be more than happy to give you the time of day.”
Also, apropos of nothing, if I was a presidential candidate who was also the incumbent I would simply refuse to answer any questions that were not also asked exactly the same to my opponent.
Breaking News: Some major Democratic donors are said to be freezing roughly $90 million pledged to the largest super PAC supporting President Biden if he remains on the ticket.
“We will hold investigations to identify the neo-cultural Marxists in seats of power all across Washington,” Posobiec said. “We don’t negotiate with un-humans. Because that’s the stakes of this battle: humanity versus un-humanity.”

It is extremely normal for upper management to receive briefings well in advance to review them and pre-submit questions to the briefers to be ready to address. This sounds like Nate confessing that he’s the shittiest boss in the world.
idk what the right thing to do is but it's pretty telling to me that the people in politics who I respect like AOC and Bernie are saying "we gotta make sure the leaky rowboat doesn't sink" and the people drilling holes in the bottom are like, Scott Peters
Like my feeling since Biden wrapped up the nomination has been that Biden is a leaky rowboat we've all been crammed into, and while being on a leaky rowboat sucks I'm rooting for it not to sink and annoyed at the other people on the boat who are seemingly determined to drill more holes in it.
So, while everyone is returning to their corners preparing for the next round of very important Biden discourse, Trump is meeting with Orban who is coming directly from a meeting with Putin.
Cool, guys. Very cool.
Coincidentally, many of the major data center projects are in the desert around Phoenix, Arizona. Legacy water rights come with land and major corporations are skilled at buying up the resources they need.
