If people don’t like Biden and the Democratic establishment in general, the solution is to organize, build a movement, exert pressure from the left, and run candidates they’d rather see hold office. Waiting until Election Day to do something IRL is performative.

My favorite discovery from the Wordlebot is that every day there’s a minimum of 2% of users entering the correct word on their second attempt, no matter how obscure the answer is. They’re probably normal looking people. And they’ve gone, “I’m going to cheat at Wordle to impress others.”

I used to use DZNUTZ as my screen name for Buzztime trivia. I picked the name when I was 41 years old

The Democratic establishment are utter fucking cowards. Morally, politically, physically.

Joanne went Extremely Online Weirdo with an IRL acquaintance, he realized she was a freak show and backed away, and she took it as validation? Make sure to stay anchored in reality, y’all. Don’t be like Joanne.

This is true. The plagiarism story was a classic case of media screwing Democrats to prove to the right they aren’t biased.

People are wondering if AI will kill off the human race but I didn’t think it’d be because it ensured no one ever got laid

Maybe, but have you considered that @sickoscommittee.bsky.social specializes in terrible ideas? They specifically seem to be Jordan’s raison d’être

That would be my guess, but I don’t have any data. It’s also the facile answer so I know I’m likely to assume it.

Part of what makes this odd is that people polled report they are OK personally but believe the economy is circling the drain.

I’d be shocked if you haven’t already read Nuking The Moon by Vince Houghton but this seems like a good time to recommend it here

Cool! The Varsity logo showed up a week ago and I was wondering if I’d missed something 🙂

I saw the “one drink ticket” suggestion after I posted this and realized that is the most likely scenario with the type of people who would throw a high school reunion at their house

On the one hand: I would never go to my high school reunion for not reliving trauma reasons Other the other hand: $45 open bar challenge

Can we just sit around making fun of Rovell until then?

The irony is that both liberals and leftists are eye-wateringly bad at achieving change, liberals because they are cowards about using the power they have and leftists because they ignore organizing for power in favor of feel-good stuff like protesting.
Avatar
People point to the Civil Rights Era as a time where protest achieved things but protest was only one page of a giant playbook that centered on organizing, building power, and making elected politicians bend to their will. The protests are overemphasized historically because they made good pictures.

Now I took Social Science Research Methods in 1994 so things might have changed but this strikes me as likely being a non-representative sample
