So far this is basically the trans-bashing convention and (1) it's disgusting, and (2) I'm really not sure it's what normal people want to hear from a political party. Also if any neutral media type really care about "lowering the temperature" they should start note the hate speech in Milwaukee.

fire season has begun apparently.

Lately in the afternoons during my workout time, I sometimes watch old episodes of Cold Case—a series I never watched during its time. Like most people who watch old TV series, I found myself wondering whatever happened to...? Kathryn Morris, for instance, who played—who WAS–Detective Lily Rush.

'Cold Case' star opens up about life as a mom of twins with autismwww.today.com Kathryn Morris writes that her journey into autism introduced her to a secret society of sick kids and bankrupted families.

JD Vance is an incarnation of everything that people from outside the USA are thinking of when they say they think Americans sound insane. It's not a fair generalisation, at all, but he is a pretty good example of exactly who it is that people are picturing.

some people on Twitter are bravely trying to find sympathy for this man and his family. or at least some degree of empathy. I got nothing here.

Amazing amount of bullshit over there. The projection never ceases to amaze me.

Screenshots only, links aren't live. Some folks on Twitter are still swimming against the overwhelming tide of bullshit.

I was born & raised in the heart of farming country but I'm not the expert I might be. So I was puzzled lately by all the tiny half-formed acorns falling like rain from the oak trees here—during & after a severe 5-6 day heat wave of 100+ temps. trees surrounded by mostly pavement & no recent rain.🤔

really weird over there right now.

I'm not sure why Chipotle is so popular. I've been sitting parked in a parking lot near to a brand new one, and the burnt grease smell that's been assailing my nostrils for the last half hour is from grease that's surely over a hundred years old.

yikes according to Veloropa on Twitter both Cav & Démare have been relegated.

Stage 11 starts early: a 211 km stage expected to take about 5 1/2 hours.

Here it is, my review of the Tesla Cybertruck. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

I'm tired of this narrative & don't understand it either. Post-race JV readily acknowledged the Chemins Blancs stage didn't suit him;he's not that kind of rider. he said he was bouncing around so much he could barely stay upright & considered that a win. he admits it suited Tadej & Remco quite well.

It once would have been unbelievable to see this from the BBC right after a tidal wave of French voters & a coalition of left & green parties just beat back France's 2024 version of wannabe Nazis. But here we are, with the BBC saying oh well surely next time. JHFC.

this a gazillion times a gazillion.

if there is one thing I want to come out of this election, regardless of result, it is Dems - and the left more generally - finally understanding that they need to make their own media ecosystem and stop relying on folks who want them to lose to get their message out

I feel somewhat confident that this isn't Gen Z; this is the Guardian doing what it does best: raking furiously through all the straw in the barn until it finds a nice big turd.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

@chadbourn.bsky.social found this comment on Twitter; wondering what you think of it? to me it points to a steady erosion of something, but I'm not sure of what. here it's due to increasing immersion in a universe filled with "different facts", living life in a separate culture of beliefs & values.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

and by the way, welcome to politics American style, y'all.

I'm actually kind of surprised the Tories got 131 seats. seems high to me. how come anybody in that country be thinking right now yessiree m'am more of the same please? 131 seats, for Christ's Sake.

Lately I haven't followed UK politics as closely as I used to do. or Italian, Spanish, French, German or miscellaneous Euro countries generally. watching from afar though, I see the same polarization process in play across the entire western hemisphere: rising reactionary populist identity politics.
