The simmering rage against tech is partly because what they are doing is impeding the really cool shit that happens online. The internet rocks, I have made incredible friendships online that have lasted 15+ years, built a business, made art, and I hate how badly they've hurt being online.

A Tesla in full-self driving mode hit my twin today. The driver was not aware, did not have his hands on the wheel, and did not brake. He hit this mother of 2 going 30 mph before blaming it on FSD getting confused by a train and driving off, as if that explained everything. So now, it's personal.

They Might Be Giants You drive a Subaru and wish your city had better transit. Middle school was hell, but you'll go to your grave thinking there was no greater feeling than being 14 and staying up way too late drinking red Barqs and playing Age of Empires II over LAN.

I'm selling my beloved Roland SVC350 vocoder in order to pay bills. It's on eBay for £1500. But they'll rob me of £200+ so hit me up if you're minted, trustworthy, and in the market for a legendary bit of vintage gear.

So do you think biden wears adult diapers

This is an issue that would boost turnout. The Court’s approval rating is even lower than Biden’s.

Seven times between 1801 and 1869 Congress changed the size of the court, going from a low of five justices in 1801 to a high of ten in 1863. In most of those cases, as in 1801 and 1863, the size went up and down in order to fix an imbalance or overreach by the Supreme Court. My latest

The Case for Expanding the Supreme Court Has Never Been Strongernewrepublic.com Biden has repeatedly refused to endorse “court-packing.” The right-wing justices’ ruling on presidential immunity ought to change his mind.

Joining the choir to say that dick Durbin, a loser who belongs in hell, has a great rep for having responsive and organized staff when dealing w social orgs and housing orgs and stuff. He remains a loser who belongs in hell

Smart members of Congress put really good people in charge of constituent service because one bad constituent service experience will turn a devoted constituent into an implacable enemy.

there are no mappable lessons from the french election to the u.s. because the left does not have comparable institutional political power/representation in government. our abysmal party selection and the way campaign finance works are as ever part of the problem

I am here to once again declare that John Cena should star in an Ernest legacy sequel where he plays Ernest P. Worrell's improbably jacked son (it is never explained in any way why he is jacked)
