been manually writing down what episode of righteous gemstones I'm on bc max simply cannot handle you watching a show twice
and she lost anyway to the most unlikable guy the state has produced since john ashcroft after trying to outflank him on immigration
still cannot get over the most racist guy in DC being named "senator tom cotton." mr show ass name.
not to be a doomer but 1) the scales here are orders of magnitude off, 2) right wingers in the courts are destroying the very administrative law that allowed us to fix acid rain, and 3) we're already at or passed the tipping point of "fixing" this as opposed to mitigating the worst of it.
elevating a dyed-in-the-wool dominionst to third-in-line for the presidency while all of evangelical America is on rapture watch seems like a bad fuckin deal
he's a Reagan republican in that he earnestly believes in the end times
finished this project and now I need something else to distract me from all these horrors beyond my comprehension
truly one of america's great menaces and nobody even knows who is outside evangelical circles
maybe less bad. but only if the armed ones are disciplined and trained, lest they make it worse.
you can't call a mass starvation coupled with an indiscriminate bombing campaign on an entirely captive population that is around 50% kids genocide until it's over, the dust has settled, and they've stacked up all the bodies for the government's favored academics to come count
Today in Off Message, unless you’re playing some radical accelerationist game, it’s a bad idea to use “genocide” as a buzzword, and say things like ‘Joe Biden supports genocide,’ in no small part because that’s not true.
Solidarity with innocent lives doesn't require saying things that aren't true
www.offmessage.netand absolutely under no uncertain terms can you criticize the most powerful man in the world for materially supporting such actions through money and bombs lest you, personally, are trying to start world war 3
this is a craven, soul-staining defense of power in a time that calls for moral clarity and courage
I've got a 96 rav4 and it takes 45 minutes to get to 70
A random thing that I bet people under about 35 do not realize is that if you drove a compact car in the 70s/80s the top speed it could achieve was around 70 and you had to floor it for 45 seconds to get to that. We're all spoiled at how effortlessly even entry-level cars drive now.
i wholeheartedly agree with this point but around 40 million people are living in poverty and food insecurity is at record highs. I just can't call this economy "good".
according to this knesset member, yeah basically

litigating the election right now is like arguing what color blood you want on your hands
10 yo: "I'm not really a 'gogurt person'". insists a spoon makes yogurt taste better.
á la carte reality
Researchers have found few AI fakes related to the Israel-Hamas conflict. But the mere possibility that AI content could be circulating is leading people to dismiss genuine images, video and audio as inauthentic.
Fakes related to the conflict have been limited and largely unconvincing, but their presence has people doubting real evidence.

bluesky discovers the Midwest exists
America has a thing called Trunk or Treat where people dress up, drive to a parking lot, and pretend it's ok we don't have walkable communities anymore.
I popped my mcl in high school and swear it was louder than the "fuck!" I let out after
what's wild is making biden sign a military aid package for israel right now could fracture his coalition and put trump in a very nice spot. it's very bad that the worst of the party has floated to the top, but thank god they are too deeply incompetent and petty to get their shit together.
The GOP is proposing an aid package to Israel that is paid for by cutting IRS funding -- IRS funding that lets the IRS pursue rich tax cheats. Cutting IRS funding COSTS us money. No matter WHAT the issue, the GOP has one focus and one aim only: protect the rich. That's it. That's their only mission
what is the point of the police [rhetorical]
6 weeks before an Army reservist killed 18 people in Maine, police were warned he said he was going to carry out a shooting spree.
But authorities never made contact with him The warnings were far more explicit than officials have publicly acknowledged
A Maine sheriff’s office tried to contact the gunman who later carried out America’s deadliest mass shooting this year, but the office ultimately left him alone.

bleak portent for our already tenuous collective reality
Home schooling has become — by a wide margin — America’s fastest-growing form of education, a Washington Post analysis of thousands of school districts across the country shows.
The data shows the rise in home schooling at the onset of the pandemic has largely sustained itself. wapo.st/46TSj4A
biden is in a political no-win situation. at this juncture there is little he can do that won't fracture the party. that doesn't absolve him, of course. he's just fucked. and he's further fucked if a military aid bill hits his desk.
Joe Biden is handing the election over to a far right regime (Trump) by supporting a far right regime (Netanyahu)
