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
Long elections waste immense amounts of money. they harass potential voters into apathy. They play into the horse-race, scandal-fed view of politics that feeds deeply unserious media coverage. They NOT INCIDENTALLY make it difficult/impossible for campaigns to deal with last-minute surprises.
note how long it took the French from calling the election to holding not 1 but 2 votes? and organizing the shit out of the second one? LESS THAN ONE MONTH
A national election does not have to be a painful 1.5-2 year process! the US election campaign should quite honestly not even have started yet!!
I want to start an ad campaign:
"Instead of high speed rail we got... Theranos."
TAX BILLIONNAIRES
"Instead of universal healthcare we got... Juicero."
TAX BILLIONNAIRES
"Instead of clean tap water we got... NFTs."
TAX BILLIONNAIRES
Fellow punks, if you’re gonna have a very suspect Hitler-esque haircut and wear all black and stomper boots in public… you need to wear some patches or something so you don’t get clocked as a fuckin Nazi in the store.
I’ve had some characters floating around in my head within the world and friend group of the unicorn character I’m making for a fursuit. Finally got one design pretty rounded out today for the Scottish wildcat. Maybe I’ll make a mini comic someday. This is Kenna. She loves women. #furry#furryart
Art sky! Does anyone have any suggestions for iPad or drawing tablets that run under $350 or so? Would be looking to run something like CSP or Krita, maybe limited/low ram animation. Paper feel not necessary but pen that works well with control and pressure with paper feel sticker preferred.
"Irish nationalists Sinn Fein became Northern Ireland's largest party in the British parliament for the first time on Friday, capitalising on a poor election for its main unionist rival to cross another milestone in a campaign to end British rule."

It's understandable that ppl don't know what to do, we've been shunted into this idea that a narrow version of electoral politics is the ONLY path to change. We DO have to vote, but there is SO MUCH MORE. Places you can start: mutual aid groups (www.mutualaidhub.org)

my hot take is that the president should be and live like a normal human, and so I reject the premise that the president must work 130 hour weeks and never be well-rested. he has dozens of staffers who can cover shifts!
I think that maybe the President should be well rested and sleep more if he's making dozens of critical decisions each day.
Believe it or not, he has a few staffers who can wake him up if needed.
If like me you are trying to drown out the chaos happening around you, this live feed is amazingly calming. You got running water, bird sounds, bears and fish to stare at, and it is working nicely to center me.
Trying to get some designs figured out for my full partial suit. I like the idea of adding a slight “cutie mark” type sparkle to the tail since the overall story for the character implies he discovers access to an hidden and ancient magic considered folklore in his world #furry#furryart#unicorn
A huge tell (at least in my area) that normal people actually aren’t doing well in this economy is the almost complete lack of fireworks this year. I’ve only heard maybe two or three tonight and nothing before that. Really believe people straight up just can’t afford it.
Donations to support people seeking abortion care are down since Dobbs and national orgs are reducing support. Please consider making Samuel Alito mad by donating to your local abortion fund today
Realized it's not excitement for Kamala that I'm feeling it's this moment of hope that the Democrats might actually take drastic measures to do something outside of How Things Are Typically Done for once in my fucking life. Imagine that? What a high. Of course they most likely will stay the course.
One thing I really wish people would get through their heads is that the “crazy lefty voters” aren’t at risk at voting for Trump, it’s a risk of not voting at all. Going around saying “oh so you want Trump” to someone who is deciding on good conscious if they can put their support behind a man who
What gives me hope are the normal people trying to save things. People running for school board against moms for liberty freaks, college kids protesting, local newsrooms investigating corruption etc. They inspire but also make me pissed off at the powerful people/institutions that won’t defend them
