Repeating for those in the back who don’t understand how things work: Ballots are under state control. If you remove Biden from the ticket, Republicans will sue in at least 20 states, to block your new nominee from inclusion on the ballot. They will create chaos & take it to the Supreme Court.

The people of the UK and France showing us that there is a path forward is exactly what we needed to see right now.

Nah, job interviews and doctor's office visits are worse.

Went to a clinic today for a routine medical thing and was once again amazed by the number of people who are happy to hang out and just freely breathe in all the air juice inside the germ emporium

Security guards are basically emotional support animals, right? Maybe you’re helping, maybe you’re not, but we all know you just got that vest off Amazon.

At the end of the day, we are all Americans. Sure, we have differences on policy. One side wants to give everyone healthcare and good wages. The other wants to create a white Christian ethnostate where the president can legally assassinate anyone at will. But we are not enemies.

Update: it was fine. Not great, but good enough and the second best of the series although that's not saying a huge amount.

Just put on the new Beverly Hills Cop movie, pray for me

if you make a big announcement about being a mask-required event and then you don't follow through it's actually worse than doing nothing people who need others to mask will show up because you said that it's worse than doing nothing b/c you've actively recruited the vulnerable to an unsafe place

some have replied to this with BIRD SLANDER about the European Robin, saying they're territorial, will kill other birds, and that sometimes they threaten people with tiny switchblades if people don't post positive European Robin propaganda on various social media sites, and these are LIES help

China recently performed a locked-down static fire on a rocket, and there was one problem: the rocket wasn't locked down. It shot up, fell down, and exploded. Orbital Index has the story, and links to spectacular (and terrifying) video. orbitalindex.com/archive/2024...

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

Someone somewhere nearby has started letting off fireworks for my birthday. There’s literally no other reason why they would be doing that today. It’s so thoughtful.

If you’re interested in a product, don’t forget to check out their other products in the reviews for that product!

Prime Day is coming up! Look for deals on all your favorite brands. Why not pick up a pattern button up shirt from CORFUBI? Perhaps a high-end “luxury” exercise bike from LIKDK? Purchase some completely safe supplements from PHARMOOZI.

when I was a child, I thought smart people were in charge. when I got older, I realized you didn't have to be smart to be in charge. but the piece that was hardest to learn is that no one is really in charge at all. no one's going to fix it beyond us.

What happens when people with the institutional power to fight evil people don’t fight is those without institutional power despair. You can blame desperate people for the suffering that’s coming their way, if you want, but doing so doesn’t distinguish you from fascists.

Yup. If people block me, good, they are taking control of their Bluesky experience and removing an irritant, i.e., me. I don't need to know why they did it, and honestly I don't care, my need to be liked is not that strong anymore. Anyway, with 6M people here now, we'll both find people to hang with

I dont get why yall check blocks and mutelists. Theres enough psychic damage on the timeline i dont need to seek it out, who blocked me is between them and god
