And the Russian pro-Gaza “tankies” trying to make “genocide Joe” happen when only he and Obama even mildly corrected Bibi.

In the best possible way he doesn’t, as always, give two shiats about white liberals.

I’ve spent way too much time reading about this building. It has the room in it where AT&T lets the NSA monitor calls (the more famous west coast one is in SF).

My local New Balance store is a parade of cargo shorts and road race t-shirts buying the same shoes as last time.

The only people who've ever held Trump meaningfully accountable over the last nine years have been ordinary Americans and they've spent that entire time being lectured to and berated by elites who've failed to do anything.

He was way too “reasonable” to maintain MAGA support. But my fear now is he could win and throw the Senate cause he’s appealing to those nasty “third way” folks.

My true crime bar is high; this read on the 'Handcuff Man' of Atlanta is well worth it because it ties a horrible story into deeper societal issues rather than just sensationalizing. (CN, this is about a homophobic serial killer and it includes graphic descriptions of torture and sexual violence.)

They sit off of interstates along the way from Atlanta to Richmond (a frequent drive I do) and each location is a concentration point of white guy money.

A lot of that stuff like party lines was kept by phone companies to justify charging extra for “private” lines, like pulse dialing was kept to charge for “touch tone”. Also lots of places had more phones than numbers to assign them.

I think McConnell’s very, very ill and doesn’t think he’d make it through another 2 years. He just wants to have the power to not be replaced without his approval.
