It also makes me feel insane that the rat fuck around Biden’s age and mental capacity is being uncritically spread around by Democrats when Trump is *incredibly obviously* grotesquely mentally incapacitated, in a way that is genuinely terrifying.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

If Back to the Future was set today, Marty would go back to 1994. The kids in the past would be listening to Nirvana. Marty would amaze and confuse them with White Stripes and Radiohead songs, and intimidate his dad by pretending to be Neo from the Matrix. He'd be baffled by the lack of wifi. 😜

Just quietly thinking about how, when it came out, “Apollo 13” felt like a period piece of a long-ago time and the equivalent movie today would be set in the distant year of 1999.

We (OR) have automatic voter registration with your drivers license and default vote by mail (and ballot drop off sites/boxes). It’s not perfect, but in the 4 states I’ve voted in during my life (NJ, MO, CA, & OR), it’s the easiest to vote in.
