You don’t even have to like Kamala Harris to know how “let’s build a Rube Goldberg device to avoid nominating the person who was literally elected to step in for the president if necessary” would look

look - I'm receptive to both "no, it's gotta be him" arguments and "he's gotta step aside" arguments. not to be wishy-washy but both arguments have merit. "then we do a tourney" is OTOH flatly hilarious. yeah that'll go great. there will much much unity in the wake of the electoral deathmatch

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

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.

People often ask me - "have you got that picture of Cary Grant in uniform with a puppy poking out of the pocket?" Yes, they do. They rush up to me in the streets, it's true. Well, yes. Yes, I do. And here it is.

The James Timpson appointment really shows Starmer's political acumen. He's had the keys to Number 10 for less than 24 hours and boom - he's scored a free spare set.

This guy was such a G for telling his evil wizard cyborg boss that his religion is bullshit during a work meeting.

The best thing about British democracy is when the actual head of government has to stand in a leisure centre at 5 am beside a guy with a bin on his head to find out if he still has a job.

Richard hold on

Is now a time to admit that whenever they read out vote totals in constituency announcements I have never once been able to remember the numbers long enough to figure out who's won

One thing we can all agree on: whichever campaign staffer wished Gaza wasn’t Biden’s biggest liability shouldn’t get to use the monkey’s paw anymore

I am not decided on whether I actually want the president to step aside, but I have decided that Biden should label the Heritage Foundation a terrorist organization and put their employees on the no-fly list just to see what happens.

It's abundantly clear that Republicans are terrified of facing literally anyone but Biden.

Top Conservative Think Tank Vows to Make it ‘Extraordinarily Difficult’ for Dems to Replace Biden By Filing Swing State Lawsuitswww.mediaite.com Heritage Foundation has vowed to do everything possible to keep Democrats from replacing President Joe Biden as the party's presidential nominee.

i cannot stress how relieving it is to see the president of a major creative tech company like nintendo voice concerns about generative ai and say they’re not interested www.tweaktown.com/news/99109/n...

Nintendo won't use generative AI in its first-party gameswww.tweaktown.com Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa has revealed that the company currently has no plans to use generative AI in its games due to IP rights concerns.

"Don't worry, if the president imprisons his political enemies, you can still get a writ of habeas corpus." "But to prove that's why you've been imprisoned requires proof of..." "Presidential motive!" "And under Trump v US, presidential motive is..." "Inadmissible!"

This is such a bizarre tactic. I mean, think of the ontological paradoxes that would ensue. It's like Day of the Daleks all over again.

My mum is furious after receiving a bizarre Conservative election letter claiming to be from her future self in 2044, signed with her name. It expresses regret at having voted Reform in 2024 (she won't be) opening the door for 20 years of Labour. Such a bunch of weirdos.

"This GRETCHennnn, I don't know where she even came from, nobody voted for her, those corrupt, corrupt Democrats don't want you to vote, the New York Times said, 'Oh, no, Trump beat Sleepy Joe in the debate, Sleepy Joe can't win, get GRETCHennnn,' and some Democrats in a back room said 'We got her'"

All these people say they're trying to beat Donald Trump and none of them seem to be able to take five seconds to imagine what Donald Trump would say about their candidate picked by a brokered convention at the behest of the New York Times editorial board

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

it’s a long shot, but it would basically guarantee a Biden win if sometime between now and the election he became the Jeopardy champion

Thoroughly enjoying one of my favourites, Mr David Tennant, being extremely relaxed about saying things which are true.

Was the debate really that bad? I am not going to watch it
