Maybe the lesson here is that the people who built a political movement out of the vigilante revenge fantasies of socially maladjusted and heavily armed people overestimated their own ability to control where, when, and at whom the violence they encourage would be directed.
grown adults are using the plagiarism machine as a search engine & using the results as “evidence” in their nonsense arguments & damn that is terrifying
Might reject the term neurodivergent and start describing myself as having a hunter-gatherer mindset, humanity wasn't meant to spend an two hours a day travelling in a metal box to then spend 8hrs doing repetitive tasks, like I'm not the weirdo here.
NYT is so over. Done. Cooked. Ended. Gone. Exhausted. Complete. Retired. Finished.
Their work this year has been straight up offensive to journalistic integrity
I’m going to be vulnerable for a minute here, friends.
I don’t know what the labels are about, how to use them, or where to get them. And it’s making me feel like a boomer 👵🏻
I have given up on streaming and exclusively watching free Roku Live TV. They have Ghost Hunters! Antiques Roadshow! American Ninja Warrior! Little House on the Prairie!
Who needs 6 x $20 / month streaming services with nothing good anyway?
Republicans also just killed a program that provided a $30 discount on broadband bills for poor people
because they're good faith populists who care about rural Americans or whatever
The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer
I personally think the smartest thing the DNC could do would be a (technically incumbent) Harris/Buttigieg ticket. Platform on Roe, infrastructure/transportation, and cost of living.
You know, things that are popular and get people to turn out to vote.
The “shut up and fall in line” democrats need to wake up and hear the sirens. 🚨
Biden is wildly unpopular, not only because of his age. Gaza, false promises, failure to bite back against a corrupt SCOTUS, etc.
He is the only reason the election will even be close.
Ageism is hiring a 25 year old instead of a better qualified 55 year old. It's not "ageism" to say that an 81 year old or a 78 year old might not be able to handle the world's most demanding job.
As far as I'm concerned anyone telling people not to vote, in this election or any other, is doing for malign purposes, and the only correct response is "Well now I am going to vote EVEN HARDER."
Just making note of the fact that the supreme court just turned the clock back to 1900 and there's no opposition leader who is a decent orator to explain how horrifying that is.
“I ran because I didn’t want a guy like this to win” buddy, you are the only reason it’s even close. If we had candidate who was Gen X, solid public speaker, focused on housing and COL relief - it would be a landslide.
But no, grandpa wants to go again.
Tonight’s debate will be my first live event where I’ll be on BlueSky for memes, etc. 🦋 I expect some banger skeets, don’t let me down!
If we’ve gotta go through this as a nation we might as well make it funny
