Am I the only one who finds the republicans in the house quitting a little ... ominous?

What is about to go down that the rats are fleeing the ship?

When is everyone going to decide that one side of this argument is nothing but lies and retreat to a new lie in order to kill more people for as long as we are stupid enough to let them?

And what happens then?

"Joe Biden came to play. And the GOP clown car rolled on. …

It’s time to ask a simple question: How many times does Biden have to prove [the media] wrong before we all see the truth? It is this: Biden is a formidable opponent, a skillful and experienced negotiator, and as a campaigner he is quick on his feet, affable and eminently re-electable."

Oh I see that once again the solution to the problems of social spaces is to just not extend any grace to transfeminine people, ever. Especially when we form a group.

No, trans people and even transfemmes aren't immune from engaging in this.

@hrefna I'm watching Spanish 8 part mini-series on Teresa of Avila right now

I bet you are wondering* what that, she or the princess of Eboli has to do with anything

Well, among other things, she had to go up in front of the Inquisition, thanks to the princess.

And avoided an autoduffet (haha auto da Fe)

@RikerGoogling inventory is that more or less than a quantum fuckton?

What is Tucker talking about? No one in NYC is "scared to ride the subway"

The worst thing about the subway is the ADA wasn't funded so there aren't elevators at every station.

Do people not in NYC really think it's still the early 80s in NYC? WTF.

@KeithAmmann One of Raymond's most consistently favorite places to poop is one of the planters on my block that has these very obnoxious rebar spikes welded around it so that no one can sit

So if it's not a place for people, certainly bugs deserve meals as well :-)

What the “Biden Too Old” Discourse Is Really About

Let’s evaluate the arguments of those who describe Biden as manifestly unfit – and how they preemptively assign blame for Trump’s possible return to “the Liberals” they despise.

@tzimmer_history The question of biden's age is relatively moot... Unless moot is binary (then its just moot.)

The most consistent thing we know about this man through his whole career, is that he is the quintessential whorepuppet. He's going to do anything people with money / more power than he has tell him to do.

So it doesn't matter whether or not he himself is fit, he is not running the country..moot.

Interesting: leftish are critical & douthat not so,.kinda like stability is biggest fear

My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.

Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.

There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.

So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?

Curious if you are aware of anyway of downloading one's content off YouTube for this all but inevitable moment?

Will this border standoff in Texas escalate into the type of crisis that takes an already volatile political situation to a whole different level? Maybe not. But it’s frighteningly easy to see how it might be a milestone in a series of events that leads to a really dark place.

Why yes, I AM still getting deluged by trolls who are intentionally calling me Pro Genocide after my earlier post.

Thanks for asking.

Adding: I did not take a stand on anything other than to stop calling Biden "pro genocide," and saying that disagreement with his policies is fine by me & that I don't discuss that war in my feed... because of... this kind of reaction by trolls and others who are trolls in training, apparently.

    @world_beauty Saturn is to the left you don't see it in the actual picture you just see the rings and slightly above the rings is one small planet and then the rings Make a second planet behind the smaller one or above? It's not clear I guess the larger planet would be closer is the small planet Earth? Jupiter?
