Turns out voting by mail is more secure than, say, Donald Trump.

Notable! In a video, Trump tells people it's OK to vote by mail, a method he has previously claimed is insecure. "We must use every appropriate tool available to beat the Democrats ... whether you vote early, absentee by mail, or in person." #RNC

I mean. I think the puppets for the various parties have been well established for a while Sacksy.

"We still don't know what puppet Democrat bosses will install as their nominee," says venture capitalist David Sacks. #RNC

You can't call this news unless you can prove it.

Has our dude seen the guy at the top of the ticket?

I laughed

"it just has a lot of racist people in it"

"America is not a racist country." Tim Scott repeats a theme from his 2020 keynote address. #RNC

So the HR derby is unwatchable in its current form, right?

I don't think the little one is ready for the statcast broadcast.

Next year they may want to consider shooting for a Grammy *winner*.

So far this is basically the trans-bashing convention and (1) it's disgusting, and (2) I'm really not sure it's what normal people want to hear from a political party. Also if any neutral media type really care about "lowering the temperature" they should start note the hate speech in Milwaukee.

Do I need to hate any of the derby participants other than Ozuna?

Trump and Mel Gibson do have a lot in common.

I think Mark Robinson just called Trump "the Braveheart of our time"? #RNC

I think it was smart of Trump (a shitty guy many people like) to balance out his ticket with J.D. Vance (a shitty guy nobody likes).

The world's ending but it's Tuscan chicken night.

I get that it’s about money and being a reactionary and all that, but as someone who was a teen during the W Bush administration, it’s still disorienting to see conservatives shift from “guy you’re supposed to want to get a beer with” (also fake but) to the most off-putting gremlins imaginable?

Can we allocate some storms to not being directly at bedtime?

I mean, yeah, this guy sucks, but also acting like the Ukraine war would last a day into Trump's second term is very silly.

Good news everyone

"Sorry y'all I'm just an idiot" defense ftw.

To be clear, so far it sounds like it was just someone who didn't know wtf they were doing and not someone trying to run the gates, or anything.

🤔🤔🤔🤔 Operation 100 #brewers? But not really?

That doesn't seem very "social". (note: it's a good idea, but it's also silly to call these things 'social networks' in 2024 - they're not)

bouie singlehandedly forcing this site to implement features that make it usable for anyone with more than a few hundred followers

Shocked there are anything but zeros for the women. I guess they will be in 28, since women won't be able to vote anymore. Then again, maybe no one will.

A lifetime ago, my HS tennis team was terrible, yet managed to win a fair number of matches against teams ranked highly in the state, that went on to win titles. Our secret? Being so bad they sent the JV or Freshman team instead.

Have we done this one yet

"The kids are alt-right"

"A third classmate...said that Crooks was very smart, took honors classes, and was shy. She said that he had a group of friends who were fairly conservative, some of whom would wear Trump hats." nothing so far differentiates this from a garden variety school shooting www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/u...

What we know about the Trump rally gunman so far | CNNwww.cnn.com Interviews with a half-dozen former classmates and neighbors of Thomas Crooks painted him as quiet and aloof, with some remembering him as a misfit in high school.

Did the Brewers draft Joey Weimer again?

My wife is required to work from home this week because the city of Milwaukee has been deemed unsafe to travel in, so I suppose I'll be hiding in the basement all week.

"This changes everything" No, it doesn't. Jesus Christ, grow a spine.

Why are Democrats like this?

How exactly am I supposed to watch this "Roku" game on Sunday. Isn't Roku a device and not a service? I am an old.
