I'm an old man who has lost patience for social media. Over the years I've seen it used to destroy people and support fascism. I use it for shitposting. Don't take it seriously unless you find me crying for help - say #hello, I might need it.

Proper nouns are best. I go by he/him but am non-binary. I hate division by gender, politics, religion in all forms, new and old. If atheism is your religion I don't need a pamphlet sorry.

When Judge presides over a hearing on Fri in ’s case, she will spend the day considering well-trod arguments about an arcane issue in an unorthodox manner.

The issue that will be discussed…is a motion by the defense to dismiss the charges…on the grounds that was improperly funded & appointed.

Unemployment has been at or below (mostly below) 4% since the end of 2021.

4 years ago, Trump called it "joyous" &"stupendous" that unemployment was only 13.3%.

In the "booming" Reagan years, unemployment averaged 7.5%.

Pres. Biden is presiding over historically strong growth.

I don't like how this reads - hiring is up but so is unemployment. That means the net effect is a loss, right? This doesn't feel like the win it reads at first considering the next post talks about future revisions to these numbers.

To assess Biden as unfit, The Wall Street Journal relied on the assessments of Mike Johnson and Kevin McCarthy.

In other words, the Journal relied on Biden’s Republican foes — during an election season — to substantiate one of the Republican Party’s core criticisms of the Democratic incumbent.

He foresees attempts of Russian operatives to infiltrate groups of protestors and attempt to turn protests violent.

He also notes that social media has “become way more of a cesspool than it was in 2016.”
