My stereo just melted.

Prince’s covers of The Waterboys’ “Whole of the Moon”, Shania’s “Still the One”, and Marley’s “Waiting in Vain” are all revelatory.

They feel comfortable because they see how you talk to the targets . Period If you aren’t changing that and the attention you give them ?

Hey so this is the just released Republican party platform they are voting on next week at the rnc. I’m going to drop each point as a post in this thread. 1. SEAL THE BORDER, AND STOP THE MIGRANT INVASION 2. CARRY OUT THE LARGEST DEPORTATION OPERATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY

[chasing goose meme] how will you do these things!? How!!

3. END INFLATION, AND MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AGAIN 4. MAKE AMERICA THE DOMINANT ENERGY PRODUCER IN THE WORLD, BY FAR! 5. STOP OUTSOURCING, AND TURN THE UNITED STATES INTO A MANUFACTURING SUPERPOWER 6. LARGE TAX CUTS FOR WORKERS, AND NO TAX ON TIPS!

The ironic thing here is that either he's trying to hide he's involved or he's too pudding-brained and doesn't remember his own team doing this. Both indicate the same thing though. Definitely not fit for office.

Former Trump administration officials wrote and edited massive chunks of the manifesto, but Trump has “no idea who is behind” it.

What the actual fuck!?

There was lead in EVERY tampon they tested. There was less lead in organic tampons, but those had higher concentrations of arsenic. Also fun: It's 2024. This is the first ever study testing metals in tampons. Great. 🙃 www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/tox... Study: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Dammit. I guess he has enshittified himself.

And don’t like notice at all how soon after Cory Doctorow publishes that shitty thread about needing AI to study Black vernacular They push it in Black schools But let’s all pretend it’s just “Big Tech” and “Rich”

It does seem bad. But also Biden is old. So we must focus on that. Sure Trump is old and bad. But we want to sell newspapers (or at least get tax breaks because we cannot sell them and afford our private jets)

Seems bad

Never have I desired to try something more that this. Hope they are salty too.

I got you.

This is also part of how the actual differences between parties are hidden/undermined. If the federal gov actually passes policies/funding to feed your family and your GOP governor refuses it on your behalf, you're not getting it. Who did what can feel pretty irrelevant. Your kids are still hungry.

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Republican-led states are blocking summer food benefits for hungry familieswww.usatoday.com Money for food is especially tight for families in a dozen states where Republican lawmakers declined to accept federal food assistance.

Also sometimes library cards are cool in and of themselves

today is my NINETEEN YEAR anniversary working at my local library In honor of that, I ask you to get a card to your local public library today! If you ALREADY have a card to your local public library, check out their digital resources! Their summer programs! And yeah, they have books too.

My Discover TL has gone all Kpop. Did something happen to BTS? I don’t really think I could recognize BTS but it’s the only kpop band I know of.

Wow, Trump unable to recognize closest aides. Normally I’d not want someone to step aside so late in the process but THIS IS concerning!

I'm going to end up sharing this everywhere, but look how easily it *could* be done donmoynihan.substack.com/p/troubling-...

Biden should have a summit with Lamar and learn the ways of the diss.

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

Trump can say whatever he wants, but Agenda 47 is published on his website and is the lite version of Project 2025. It’s journalistic malpractice not to ask him about either.

Seems like "what parts of Project 2025 do you disagree with?" or "what parts of it are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal?" would be good questions for a reporter to ask the other elderly presidential candidate, but what do I know. on.ft.com/4ePQH0e

Is it always the same Count Binface or does the mask get passed on from time to time?

an entire movement of wicked people who celebrate wickedness

As a side note, this is John McEntee, Trump's Director of White House Personnel and the primary architect of Project 2025. On Tik Tok he said he gives counterfeit bills to homeless people so they will be arrested when they go to spend them.

I guess Bidens age doesn't matter that much to me cause I don't think US Presidents do nearly as much as the myth likes to tell. Reagan spent the back end of his run with Alzheimers, last guy played golf & shitposted for 4 years, idc if Bidens an ent who speaks once a yr, taking it over Project 2025

Here comes Biden from the locker room!

Breaking news: President Biden and his senior team said they accepted the grim ultimatum they’ve been hearing from almost all quarters of the Democratic Party — to demonstrate his fitness for office or face a significant effort to force him to step aside.

Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

Nothing screams “economic anxiety” more than owning a Porsche…

And it's Trump who *refused* to let Harriet Tubman's portrait replace Andrew Jackson's on the $20 bill.

I sank a little deeper into depression when I realized that within my lifetime there is a non-zero chance that Donald Trump will be on our currency.

My favorite line about war applies here: "The aggressor is always peace-loving... he would prefer to take over our country unopposed." No man, if you're trying a revolution against the Constitution of the United States, pro-Constitution Americans aren't going to simply get out of your way. Hard no.
