Well after reading many persuasive articles online I'm convinced of two things: 1. Joe Biden MUST withdraw so we can have a winning candidate 2. Joe Biden MUST NOT withdraw he's our only hope this close to the election

Just got an error message I hadn’t seen before: “this function is in malfunction mode.” 🤔

This Schrōdinger's candidacy is sure inspiring me I can tell you. Can't wait to vote for Biden/Not Biden.

Something I somehow only just thought about: if Biden bows out and it's Kamala, who gets the VP nod?

Joe Biden and the Common Knowledge Game www.epsilontheory.com/joe-biden-an... via @epsilontheory.bsky.social

Joe Biden and the Common Knowledge Game - Epsilon Theorywww.epsilontheory.com Common knowledge is what everyone knows that everyone knows. Common knowledge is why the 2024 Biden/Harris campaign has collapsed. All that remains is the cope.

Fascinating discussion about social media. Around minute 21 talks about an experiment where people became incentivized to post outrage, this outrage then extended to their real life.

Accidentally went down a rabbit-hole of David Byrne bad behavior: taking credit for Chris Frantz's Warning Signs until Chris reminded him he'd written it (in college), to Byrne+Eno wanting to do the same thing. + Tons more. Are all famous people talented but also self-promoting amoral climbers?

Why is the pundit class so desperate to push Biden out of the race? - Rebecca Solnit www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why is the pundit class so desparate to push Biden out of the race? | Rebecca Solnitwww.theguardian.com Yes, Biden had a bad debate – but so did Trump. The media is once again repeating the mistakes of 2016

"But I'm not gonna rant. [breathes deeply] Just gonna make my one point, which is this: the idea that that the process of jettisoning Biden & choosing someone else will go well -- will be *allowed* to go well -- is a deeply deranged fantasy."

This is good. Yes, it is political, and it’s at the dumpster fire place, but a worthy read. x.com/drvolts/stat...

One thing we can all agree on I'm sure is fuck Meghan McCain. Biden comforted her and her family after her father died. She's a terrible human.

Poll from four days after the debate.

Biden Narrows Gap With Trump in Swing States Despite Debate Losswww.bloomberg.com The incumbent trails his GOP rival by just 2 points across key states, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult shows, even as three in 10 Democrats say he should leave the race.

Cancel if you haven't already. The NYT truly is in the tank for Trump. There really is no other way to view the relentless assault on Biden while they're also publishing this. Fuck you @nytimes.com

I don’t even know where to begin with this.

The last thing I'll post about it because the whole thing is exhausting and stupid. This says it all.

Evergreen reminder - bank with a credit union. Banks are for-profit greedy bastards by design. Now that Chase can't gouge you for overdrafts, they "have to" charge checking account fees. Because making less money simply isn't an option.

I hope Peter Cetera has a child with the first and middle initials of E.T.

They did some (apparently small, but hard to tell since they weren't broadly announced) layoffs this week, and I'd be lying if I said there wasn't some small part of me wondering what the severance looked like.
