I don't know why folks think he's going to just tweet through this whole thing. He's going to be openly stalwart about staying in the race until he's not, if he decides to drop out, and by the time we all hear about it it'll have been decided and negotiated internally for weeks.

The only thing I've been certain about is that dems in high profile positions *should* be coming out in support of Biden publicly. Should they be having very serious discussions privately with party staff and the old guy himself? Yeah, duh, but doing this all out in public sucks if it's for nothing.

Great article, and really gets to the heart of the matter that replacing Biden isn't just about the candidate himself, but also about the promise that the party has to make to the voters that it can not only beat Trump, but that it *wants* to beat Trump.

I feel as if people don't get that the folks who aren't going to vote for Biden in November because of the ongoing genocide he's supporting aren't online talking about how he needs to stop supporting a genocide if he wants to win. They're making up their minds quietly at home.

The point I don't see very many people talking about is that this is 2016 all over again. It's not that the candidate has a glaring weak spot in the campaign, it's that they're not doing anything to address that weakness. It's like Hillary not going to Michigan, but bigger and worse.

I'm starting to think that Apple sort of peaked in terms hardware around 2020, 2022. I've had an M1 MacBook Pro through work since 2022 and the battery will last me days and there's no noticeable drop in performance. I like it so much that I bought one used for myself just this year.

Saying "I'm old and need to rest more and stop taking appointments after 8pm" is an inherently disqualifying statement for someone running to be president of the United States and I don't think that's controversial to say! I think Trump also is the same way, but he's not the one saying it!

Look, I regret the time I spent in 2016 supporting Clinton even after it was clear she was not a good candidate, and supporting Biden after all this is even more obviously regrettable. Like, come on, this man is going to lose so hard to a felon because the Democrats don't get how bad this looks.

One of the most annoying things about US politics versus UK politics is that in the UK they can look at 14 years of conservative rule and vote against it because it is clearly a disaster, but in the US we have had 30 years of conservative rule but half the time it's dressed up in a different color.

I think people are undervaluing the amount of enthusiasm that would be drummed up by taking Biden off the ticket not because people are enthusiastic about any replacement options but just because it would be the first time in 16 years that it's felt like the Democrats actually cared about winning.

Clearly if we want to punish a president for ordering protestors be shot, the only answer is through the ballot box, which will certainly be respected and honored.

Do y'all think Kamala has the guts to call in a drone strike on Trump? We still got six months of this administration is all I'm saying.

I also wandered into a bookstore this weekend just to get out of the heat this weekend and happened to find a copy of Alive at the End of the World staring back at me from the poetry shelf and had to pick it up. It's a Saeed Jones weekend, I suppose!

I actually do think the game has changed a lot in recent years. I find myself unable to keep interest in the games I see played on streams anymore, too, and I think it's something in the actual way games play out now. Maybe it's that I feel like there's just so much tension?

Y'all ever see a post on the internet and finally understand the sincerity behind telling someone to go touch grass? Some people just need to spend some time outside. Go feel a warm breeze. See a firefly. Wave at a neighbor. Listen to the birds sing for a while.

This is coming from me, a guy who once got a bullshit red light camera ticket for not making a "full and complete stop" when turning right on red in an empty intersection, going maybe 10 miles an hour. I have no desire to defend these things but I can't deny their efficacy for stopping speeders.

I can't stand the idea of a police state surveilling me as I travel but I can't stand people who speed and blow through red lights even more. People in my neighborhood will be pushing 40mph on residential streets! Where kids are outside playing! Just sociopathic behavior.

there are no structural reasons making certain demographics incapable of not speeding. Speeding is purely voluntary and thus purely antisocial. There are real structural reasons why people need to use cars, but not for wielding those cars like missiles.

If you have a friend who's a voracious reader, have them read the book, too, and see how they feel. I gave up on a book, forced a friend to read it, and she confirmed all of the negative feelings I had about it and wishes she, too, had stopped halfway through.

In a desperate attempt to get me even one good match, Tinder has started just showing me people from hundreds and thousands of miles away. Like, yes, my settings are for up to 10 miles, but Tinder thinks this person in Brooklyn might be my type and it wants me to stop swiping, please.

You're supposed to let your battery get really low before charging it, is what I tell myself when I wake up and realize I forgot to charge my phone overnight and it's at 15%.
