If you were going to call for Biden to drop out of the race, the time to do that was a year ago. We could see this coming. Panicking at the last minute because you refused to plan ahead is fucking annoying.

was wondering how to spray paint baby trees for temp-tagging purposes and whether spray paint would kill them, and then my coworker and I remembered that football field paint exists

This is so true. I’ll never forget in 2008, seeing a white supremacist crying on the news after Obama’s election. He said “we used to BE somebody.” They miss the days when the mere fact of being white made them “better,” more important, than everyone else

The claim that Project 2025 is "fearmongering" pairs nicely with the Project 2025 people saying they will kill anyone who gets in their way

100% accuracy: “Open bargaining is good democratic hygiene, but it’s also a huge reality check on the way the world works. Few workers remain unmoved once they see how their bosses’ lawyer talks about them while rejecting a modest improvement to working conditions.”

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

To be clear it didn't "eat" it, the partition is still there, but there's no obvious option to boot into the ubuntu partition. Since I was going in to re-partition the disk anyway to add another OS, I will instead use the "well if I haven't needed it in 6 months" approach and reformat the whole disk

Reminder from a Pittsburgher who was at one point Mr. Rogers neighbor: “Look for the helpers” was intended to be advice for his usual audience, children. We’re grown ups now. We’re supposed to be the helpers.

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

Sticking with Biden or running Harris would be *far* less risky than dedicating two of the next four months to Democrat infighting, followed by an unprecedented delegate voting process and dubious chances of even getting on the ballot. Knowing this shit is supposed to be these people's job

A common lament is there is no civility left these days, because those on the “left” refuse to be friends with the “right" over "political views."
This implies something startling: conservatives want to be friends with the rest of us. Had you realized?
