The media likes the horse race. It sells, they get to be excited. Policy stuff doesn't get the juices flowing

I have a bunch of different devices (windows/chromeos/linux). I'm leaning on shifting to Mac until I retire, and then I can move over to linux (need some software that doesn't run on linux for work).

Love pop, have it on a 2015 MBP that someone disposed of. I think when I retire I'll move everything to Pop.

And a firearm is a damn effective way to defend yourself.

Absolutely. I'm not sure exactly where I stand on gun control. I'm understand the argument "I didn't kill these people, so why should I be restricted", but I have a problem with no restrictions on firearms and who should have them (I know it's more complicated). But I do believe in self defense

The 14th Amendment says if you were involved in an insurrection you can't be president. SCOTUS said they won't allow anyone to enforce that because of reasons they made up. The Constitution doesn't say the president is immune from criminal law. SCOTUS decided he is because of reasons they made up.

IANAL, but how the hell was it even a question. Shouldn't the answer have been "social media isn't the government, why are we even being asked this question"?

Yes, I remember how quickly they decided the 14th amendment didn't apply (have to decide quickly, an election is at stake). Immunity. Let's drag this out as long as possible.

A lot of people aren't terminally online and political like me. People see Biden act bad, and NYT and other outlets say "he should step down", but nothing for Trump. How many people go "well, he can't be that bad, NYT isn't calling for him to step aside. I'll vote for him."

It wouldn't be a bad idea for NYT to mention something like this? Something like - for the good of the country, biden should step down. We'd say the same thing for trump, but he's a dangerous nutjob who wouldn't do anything for the country. At least point out the differences.

Totally agree. Heck, I was really pissed with the "stop oil" people for vandalizing Stonehenge/artworks, and I agree with them. I can't imagine people on the fence changing their mind.

2/ On the other hand, your point about punishing people for committing acts which are not clearly crimes is a very good point, considering how law enforcement acts.

Nice explainer. I'm of two minds. On one hand, this makes regulating things that need to be regulated difficult, as technology finds a way to wiggle around stuff. Does this means every time someone finds a way to simulate an automatic rifle, they need to write new legislation? 1/

Are your actions changing peoples mind so that they agree with your objectives? Cause actions like this and many others don't make me sympathetic to the people doing it. I already support fighting climate change, and that's unlikely to change, but others may differ.

Everyone rightfully excited about the #Elephant "name" news, but the elephant news that really got me this week was over at Sheldrick. Recent orphan Toto was brought to them by PREVIOUSLY RESCUED ELEPHANTS who found him and knew just where to take him. ❤️ www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/toto

Maybe I was neutral, leaning slightly in one direction or the other, and the protest behavior turned me against whatever the protesters were trying to do?
