I have no idea where the money is coming from, they're pretty middle-class, I wonder if she cashed in her retirement account so she can enjoy her life right now. Might as well.

Looking at photos my cousin has posted on Facebook, they're in Japan on a family vacation. His wife has cancer and the outlook is not good at all, and they've been doing All The Things over the last two years. Last year was Europe, they went to see U2 at that dome place in Vegas a few months ago.

Its definitely a cultural thing in America, I remember an old boyfriend from Ireland years ago making the observation that Americans are really uncomfortable with silence and will start talking when there's a pause just to fill the space.

I'm also just not good at public speaking! It makes me anxious (especially in a professional setting, and especially especially when its a presentation in a customer or sales situation where there's a contract in play) and the more anxious I am, the worse my brain-mouth connection gets. Not great!

if you’re playing the wrong-rock game about Biden doing events at which he campaigns normally and demonstrates that he’s not senile, I kind of think the onus is on you to reassure people like me that you’re not going to wrong-rock Nominee Harris

But also, like, the time to figure that out at a Presidential level was 2 years ago and get Harris or whoever primed for Biden to hand off the baton, not JULY 2024. Wth?

My concern is future-proofing the country, but the answer to that is the same as its been all along -- capture Congress.

The point I will concede that makes me anxious: a Republican-held Congress will not authorize a new VP if he has to step down mid-term, with the SotH next in the line of succession -- who doesn't have to be a Congressperson, it can be anyone the House majority votes to approve.

This has definitely gotten more pronounced the older I get, I am very good with written communication as I always have been, its the brain-to-mouth thing that's getting more jumbled as the years go by.

am pulling the right words in the right order, and that people shouldn't be uncomfortable with a brief pause. I know what I'm talking about and I have an answer, I just need a few seconds to construct it.

The more attention is paid to Biden's brain-speech connection, the more I am paying to my own and I wonder how a few specific career moments would have gone if I'd said before or during a meeting that sometimes I will pause during a presentation, or if you ask me a question, to make sure that I /

I do captioning for a living, & a big part of my job is cleaning up false starts & filler words. That has always been the norm at every media outlet. Print media edits Trump so carefully that you would never know what he actually sounds like. Doing this to Biden is a 180 from decades of policy.

It doesn't matter how many times I hear it, but any funny video that has that backing music of the "September" intro that cuts into someone playing recorder really badly will get a belly laugh from me.

I don't even know what to say to people like you anymore. You have one option. Do everything in your power to get that one option over the that is it. There isn't another choice. You had four years to figure that out and failed completely and utterly. I'll guess you didn't even try. Get it done.

pretty stunning how the billionaire class(and yes that means the legacy media) have completely turned on Biden. They'd rather have a fascist dictatorship than pay taxes and a living wage to employees. Insane power grab in front of the cameras

I absolutely do not agree that this was a disaster. I think this is 20% a bad night and 80% a media-manufactured freakout with one specific origin.

50 million people also heard Trump talk about post-birth abortions and Mexicans stealing "Black jobs" -- any press on that? (By the way, Black press and social media LIT UP about the "Black jobs" comment -- seems like an important constituency to pay attention to!)

Find an angry PA in Hollywood (there are hundreds if not thousands), produce the names of people who said they wanted him gone because he wasn't giving them special favors, and put their heads on pikes in public. Joe Biden doesn't believe in handouts for rich donors, and doesn't have to buy friends.

The lack of discipline is really a massive concern to me. Get your fucking story straight, ruthlessly hunt down leakers, get on message, and blast the country with Biden administration accomplishments and Project 2025 details, relentlessly.

I said to someone else the other day, this is the most insane spasm of cowardice I have seen from Democrats in my lifetime and I lived through the Reagan years. It really is like a very specific group of people had a mass hysteria event or ate moldy wheat or got a bad batch of LSD.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

My favorite! My aunt is from Thailand and had a restaurant in SF for a while, and once when I was visiting she showed me how to make it, because she knew how much I loved her green curry. Step one in her recipe: open a can of Maesri green curry paste.
