Open minded skeptic (sort of), Twitter refugee (or X or WTF ever it is today). Boomer and yes thank you; I am okay. Fair warning; mostly this is just political venting these days.

The discourse about replacing Biden has gotten rancid. Might I suggest we all find unity in our one true love, hating cyber trucks and laughing at their owners?

This just in; Elon Musk demands that his engineers incorporate "roadrunner technology" in Tesla "self-driving" software. Musk: "If a roadrunner can go through a solid tunnel, so can a car!"

"It marks the second incident in two months involving a Tesla’s near miss-with a train while utilising its driver assistance system."

You can tell Tesla is close to "solving self-driving" because they are down to the tough edge cases like *checks notes* trains

it's important to not give into despair, and instead to look at the upside: for the next four months it is entirely legal to bribe the president to send seal team six into the supreme court building with official orders to do the funniest possible thing, as long as you pay him after the deed is done

my favorite Bible story is the one where Jesus has all the homeless people rounded up and arrested, and then he and Sam Alito go jetting off on Leonard Leo's private plane for a luxury fishing vacation

I try and not get too political but I was laughing at this headline: "Trump praises Louisiana displaying Ten Commandments in public schools" I would think he's broken all of them. Maybe not "thou shalt not kill" directly but not surprised if he's ordered hits. now back to our regular programming

Joe Biden has been in debate prep, where Trump will never set foot. That allowed a weekend for the press to focus solely on Trump’s campaign speeches, which were again filled with hate, false claims, and of course complete gibberish. My write up in the replies.

Biden is having a great June, with world leader summits and another huge celebrity campaign fundraiser. So of course, the GOP and its right-wing media allies have come at him, this time with edited videos and fake stories. My write-up on their dirty tactics in the replies.

I suspect that a too many journalists have a macro key defined that inserts the text "Musk recently mused about...". They just keep falling for it.

Not saying we shouldn’t enforce speed laws, but Ed has a point: DHS and several states use it to track people’s movements www.thedrive.com/news/think-y... and it’s already been used to prosecute someone’s abortion in Idaho (when they crossed to WA to have it performed)

“Black Americans for Trump.” That’s what they’re trying to make happen. And there are some predictable results. I discuss why Trump is trying, what that has looked like, and whether it likely will work in today piece. Link in the replies.

I'm lol at the prospect of Biden's Secret Service jumping in to protect him from Donnie and then Donnie's SS trying to figure out if they should protect him from the other SS. My imagination is running wild with this. 😆

Assuming of course, that Donnie doesn't bail on the whole thing. Which is pretty likely.

The idea that he'll be forced to be succinct, which I don't think that he can do, or maybe almost do but will irritate the hell out of him either way, oh that's going to be sweet. Can't wait.

This may be the first debate involving Trump that I watch, normally I can only stomach the recaps. The prospect of enjoying his frustration at not able to play his usual mind games, like heckling or walking around behind his opponent when they are speaking is too good to pass up.
