Don’t care about the interview. Don’t care what anyone thinks about the interview. Changing candidates would be disastrous. The GOP is already working on legal challenges to *anyone else*, and y’all KNOW how these judges work. This whole discussion is madness.

The headline even *admits* that this was accidental. If he sincerely believed himself to be the first Black woman president, that would be disturbing. This, however, is a slip-up, of the kind I personally make ALL THE GODDAMN TIME. Why do we need to hear the audio? Why is it news AT ALL?

Also: temporary muting! Sometimes somebody you like gets a bee in their bonnet and you just need a break for like, a day! Or a week! Tweetbot (RIP) had this and it was great. Ivory has it too, but they seem REAL determined not to give us a bsky client, or make Ivory play nicely here 😢

I’ve been yelled at twice this week for saying I *am* voting for Biden. I think the strategy is just “yell at powerless strangers online to cope with your own powerlessness”. Either way, it’s VERY compelling stuff! We can change our shitty reality if we just! Keep! Yelling!

So Trump’s stream of flat-out, sometimes nonsensical, lies doesn’t qualify as a “debacle”? Seems to me they BOTH embarrassed themselves at the debate, but only one has 34 felonies. And a concrete plan to do away with representative democracy. But y’all are messy bitches who love Trump drama!

OK so I’m not gonna keep going round and round with you. I genuinely don’t know what you want me to say. I’m sorry you hate me and what I said. I’m sorry we only get 300 characters, which don’t allow me to express every nuance of my opinion in every post. I’m a terrible person; you win.

I like the “control who can reply” feature, but I wish we had a Twitter-style “control who sees this” feature - everyone, just followers, just mutuals, just mentioned.. I can’t keep showing up in the searches of ppl who want to yell at me about things we agree on. My blood pressure can’t take it.

I am in no way in support of any aspect of anything Biden has said or done about Gaza. None of it. I have posted about, I have contacted the White House about it, I fucking hate it, I am aware. One of them will be elected, and Trump is a fascist who wants to kill me. I don’t know what to tell you.

Bsky is rolling the greatest hits today! Don’t want to have the “replace Biden” argument? Then we’ll rerun “can’t vote for him bc of Gaza”! It wouldn’t bother me, had I not posted SO. MANY. TIMES. about my disgust & despair re:Gaza. But there is no magical pro-Palestine 3rd choice!

I am aware of that, thanks, but Trump’s only comment on that issue has been he wants Israel to “finish the job”, and his real estate speculator son is hoping to make currently-Palestinian land into Israeli beachside resorts. Of the two, in our binary-choice system, pardon me for choosing Biden.

Is this thanks to his cabinet, staff, and advisors more than his own work? Quite possibly! But guess what… *whispers* That’s true of most administrations. No single human being, however young/sharp/articulate/willing to call on your bday, can keep their eye on that many balls at once!

So many articles about how Biden “can’t govern”. WTF is the evidence for that? 1 hour on a random Thursday where he was unable to deliver zingers while being gish galloped? Show me where he’s been unable to do the actual work of governance. The country is very much ON the rails, near as I can tell.

Also I wouldn’t click a link to your fascist rag if my life depended on it, but I sincerely hope this piece mentions the angry donors from the WSJ article - the ones that are mad Biden didn’t call to wish them a happy birthday? Very serious people who should absolutely have a greater say.

Being wealthy doesn’t give them the right to override everyone who voted in the primary. We don’t want the chaos and infighting of a brokered convention when it’s the media selling it, and we don’t want it as a diktat from a bunch of rich jerks either. MOVE ON.

YES. It’s not just the fireworks, it’s the “hey fuck you” attitude. Someone on my Nextdoor posted “fireworks are starting PLEASE bring your dogs inside! 😢” And the first comment said “HELL YEAH LET FREEDOM RING!” They’re so thrilled at the chance to legally terrorize their neighbors.

Our local weathermen have said for a week that conditions are too dry for amateur fireworks, imploring people to attend one of the professional displays instead. Naturally it has sounded like blitzkrieg in my neighborhood for the last hour, and it shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Literally incapable of writing a headline that’s NOT about your pet election manipulation project. What next? “Biden might drop out, just as a hurricane hits the Caribbean” “The UK had an election…but will Joe Biden?” “Man eats 58 hot dogs! Will Biden eat shit and quit the race?”

Ppl keep saying “The NYT is such a pro-Trump rag. Glad I switched to a games-only sub, so I’m not supporting their terrible op-eds anymore!” I can’t find anything explicitly saying that’s true or false, but it *feels* much more likely that those games subs are EXACTLY what’s keeping them afloat?

2016: We have to support the media! They will keep us informed and show us how to defeat this evil! 2024: "The media" is 1 article about a cat 5 hurricane in July (no mention of climate change), 1 about a celebrity sex pest (not Trump), and 35 about how someone somewhere doesn't like Joe Biden

Obligatory disclaimer for the congenitally tiresome: yes, that means anyone could win. No, it does not follow that everyone should get behind whatever hypothetical candidate you want to swap him out for. We had a primary. You don’t get to disenfranchise the people who already decided.

This is what gets me when people say “I’m worried Biden can’t win”. What does that even mean? Of COURSE he can win. Kim Kardashian could win! We *decide* who wins! There isn’t some secret, mysterious ability to win that only falls on certain people. He’ll win if we SAY he wins!

A guy on my NextDoor posts before NYE + the 4th like “I’ve got a bunch of professional pyrotechnics and I’m gonna use them! I don’t care about your dog/cat/baby/PTSD bc they’re in memory of my LATE WIFE, who LOVED FIREWORKS!” Like terrorizing the whole zip code was her dying wish. It’s super weird.

Just ctrl+F’d The New Yorker, The Guardian, and websites for cnn and msnbc - no mention of Kevin Roberts OR the Heritage Foundation. I don’t have an NYT sub, so I used Google to see if they had recent articles using either term - nope. Last mention was April. Just tell everybody you meet, I guess.

Access to healthcare is still difficult/extremely expensive to obtain! That sucks and we should fix it! But if we let Project 2025 get going, they’re gonna make it illegal for non-Republicans to have a heartbeat, and your healthcare will be limited to battlefield medics!
