Sure this seems bad, but you have to consider that the other candidate is 3 years older.

The only thing Chuck was ever good at was weaseling his way into someone else's job. So I guess trying to weasel Biden out of his job is pretty on-brand.

NYT says their performance on Threads today was an aberration, & not indicative of deeper problems they've had with social media. Unfortunately, that hasn't satisfied many observers whose concerns are growing louder. The stakes are too high. For the good of the news, the Times should step aside

You think his aging is "accelerating?" Unless this story is that Biden has invented light-speed travel, you're being ridiculous.

I'm pretty new here, but i thought quoting to agree & add-to was polite: to avoid starting messes in the original poster's replies. Also to avoid the appearance of trying to piggyback a bigger account for clout

The thing I can't stop thinking about is this: I'm 48, and in my adult lifetime there has been one Republican who won the popular vote. But I will probably spend the rest of my life under the authority of a Supreme Court dominated by hard right conservatives. How is that democracy?

Importing this @volts.wtf thread from the bad place. It opens with a link to a piece that used official data to establish that yes, crime rates are indeed very much down recently. But here’s the thing, Project 2025’s Trump 2.0 promises to destroy that world in which we can “know” things like this.

So fuckin weird that media is just going along with this. They're basically the same age, they were in high school at the same time: during the Eisenhower administration. They're both old AF, but only one is old and a criminal.

If there's a link presumably it would be that if re-elected he'd be president #47 as well as #45. For some reason presidents with non-consecutive terms get counted twice (like how Grover Cleveland is #22 and #24).

I feel like there was a time when technology that no one wanted used to fail and go away. No one ever said "Welp, they're making Minidisks now so you'll just have to get used to it. Let's restructure the whole economy to revolve around the Minidisk."

Like aside from the grossness and absurdity, doesn't this fundamentally misunderstand what "talent" means? Unless this is a US vs UK language difference, schools don't *create* talent.
