anyway, bluesky is absolutely not ready and not prepared for the flood of authoritarian-funded trolls that are already beginning to flood it, so, you know, block early, block often.

The good news is that the answer to "What can I be doing instead of just worrying about a presidential race I cannot control?" is "A lot!"

I mean, we’ve seen this play out with gore and lying, Kerry and flip flopping, clinton and emails, and now Biden and old. Excessive focus on the dem candidate and a perceived flaw, no way to prove that the dem candidate isn’t meeting that standard, every story framed through that one negative frame

She was once the keynote speaker at a women in commercial real estate convention I attended. Her entire speech was about everything she asked her “daddy” for and how he gave her money/opportunities to do stuff. It was grotesque.

The way I understand it, companies will allocate certain premium/popular bourbons to accounts (liquor stores mainly but bars as well) that sell a ton of some of the other brands owned by the company. So if your store sells a shitload of Fireball, you will get a certain number of cases of Blantons

The fact that a large fraction of the US will parrot the phrase "Russia hoax" given how much of the Trump-Russia story happened out in plain view and/ or consists of confirmed uncontested facts like the Trump Tower meeting is just grim.

republicans cannot lead small-d democratic bodies because republicans do not value democracy and see it as antithetical to their preferred form of government, patriarchial authoritarianism

GOP is hammering on this because they know it causes Biden deep pain. They know dogging Beau's death and Hunter's degradation causes him physical and emotional harm, weakening him and increasing chances of stumbles and gaffes they can parade around as shameful. Media is giddy to help with that.

Like when you click on a post to expand it? The solid horizontal line divides individual replies to the main post and any replies that have replies themselves are grouped and shown with a vertical line and need to be clicked on to expand. Makes sense to me but I’ve been using it since it started.

People get mad when I say it, but I will again: The intentional gutting of all media that could and has historically been used to help protect democracy is deeply linked to the rise of fascism and the end of democracy. The wealth class has consolidated enough of media to fully embrace anti-democracy

Well we have the right to privacy explicit in the state constitution but then the “Supreme Court” that desantis appointed is going to say at some point that the right to privacy does not include abortion. And then probably contraception is next.
