Someone explain this and other measures where GOP actively tries to kill its base. How does this work? By making those who survive angrier?

@DemocracyMattersALot The more extreme the loyalty tests, the more difficult to break from the cult. See also the stump monster in Flash Gordon.

The only way anyone could fall asleep in their criminal trial would be if it was just all gibberish to you, blah blah blah...

I think I understand why lawyers who work for Trump, some who were once pretty OK at their job get worse the more they work for him.

Can you imagine trying to explain a theory of the case to him?

We knew about this. They had to load the daily briefings at the white house with images and "news articles about him" or he'd get bored and ignore them.

@futurebird in the book #Homicide, the author mentions that innocent people left to wait hours for interrogation stay awake. Guilty people fall asleep.

😢#RIP “Louis Gossett Jr., the first Black man to win a supporting actor Oscar and an Emmy winner for his role in the seminal TV miniseries “Roots,” has died. He was 87.

Gossett’s nephew told The Associated Press that the actor died Thursday night in Santa Monica, California. No cause of death was revealed.”

@GottaLaff my dad once told me — in a chastened voice — that he went to school with Louis Gossett Jr, and told him that he should go into business because there wasn’t any money in acting. 🤣

"Dead Internet Theory?"

Not my problem, I'm on the fediverse. We're too bespoke and nerdy to be drowning in bots. All my replies are real and they are all terrible puns or someone asking if I've read "Children of Time" (I have, I love it, it's great LOL)

#Biden administration will impose a fresh slate of sanctions on more than 500 targets on Friday in response to the death of opposition figure Alexey #Navalny and on the eve of Russia’s two-year war in Ukraine, according to a Treasury official.

@GottaLaff what are the odds that the US will seize assets which will then be handed over to Ukraine? That would be a nice touch.

You’ve probably already heard the very bad — but completely expected — news that we have just completed our first 12-month span with global temperatures more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average.

See -- https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68110310

However, according to the IPCC, this does not mean that the goal of the Paris agreement is in tatters. According to them, 1.5C will have to be exceeded over a span of 20 to 30 years (!) before they will declare the target missed.

Come on, give me a break. Do you think we’re idiots? You expect us to fall for that?

If we continue on with Business As Usual for another 20 years, the planet will heat up even more, probably over 2C if not higher.

It’s time to stop the lying. Stop covering up for capitalism. And stop drilling for more oil and more gas to burn.
