Staying or going, Biden supporters have to start talking more about what's going on with the GOP than sniping at one another. Biden will do what he does. Up until today, I was very firmly on the 'stay' side. Now? Who the fuck cares. Look at the GOP and start yelling at them instead of Dems.

There should be an award for Actresses who use their power to work with female Directors Not just elevate themselves to direct or champion the cause for pr I’m sure there are more but Margot Robbie & Nicole Kidman do it consistently

Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

No joke here (sorry): Homelessness in Finland is very low because they provide small apartments and mental health support without any conditions attached to it. 80% of those who use it get jobs , gain stable housing, and sobriety But thanks for the plastic trash can in NYC, Mayor Adams

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

THE sentence of the day: A Macronist incumbent in the Marseille region came in 3rd in her seat. She just dropped out to support the left. She said, about why she's maneuvering to block the far-right: "Defeats happen, but you can never recover from dishonor."

Trump said he has “no idea” who’s behind #Project2025. But one glance at the table of contents of the 922-page mandate, you’ll find that a long list of top ranking Trump officials literally *wrote* the plan and run the project.🤥 #Velshi

Wow. Just heard some very damning things about Trump’s conduct while he was president, as well as before he was president, and after. He should drop out of the race.

Stuff like this makes me bananas “For Antinya Walker, 19, who says she will be voting in her first presidential election this fall…said she believed Biden was against women’s rights. She blamed him for tightened abortion restrictions across the country”
