I seem to recall Clinton’s name being on every single ballot cast for Stein, those voters made their choice. Clinton was not and Biden is not entitled to their votes.

I don’t understand “the deadline for getting on the ballot has already passed” / “Biden isn’t on the general election ballot yet because he isn’t the official Democratic nominee” ... aren’t those two statements saying different things?

I will die with the idea that there is nothing a united American people cannot accomplish.

Looks like the “crawl over broken glass” voters are back. 2020 feels so long ago, nice to see them thriving

This is my only nod to this week's political discourse. The politics of a nation whose foundation is individual liberty has always been, & will always be, chaotic. There was no Eden in our past & likely none in our future. Most of us are decent people doing the best we can with what we know.

It’s amendable just fine. We just don’t have any new amendments that are popular enough to ratify.

I use cocoa powder, have found wide variability in how well it dissolves though and even the beat gets chunky after sitting a while. True chocolate syrup works best but it goes bad eventually. So cocoa powder it is…

I think we live in a culture that is afraid of death and dying and a “peaceful” death via doctor-administered poison seems preferable because it preserves the illusion that we are in control of whether we live or die.

Why is this labeled misinformation? Why is a post labeled misinformation hidden?

It's blatantly obvious that the sudden promotion of euthanasia as a *big issue* is because the powerful want vulnerable people, like those looked after by unpaid carers, to kill themselves.

Not only has social media rendered a vast amount of well meaning activism totally inert, but it's also divorced the Left from local issues to its own detriment. This isn't universal of course so don't take this for me shitting on everyone or everything, but it should be acknowledged.

I read a very interesting essay on Orwell by Lionel Trilling last year. "George Orwell and the politics of truth"

Good morning, folks! The lake is calling but I still have two days of work before the weekend. “In the hush of early light, A mirror formed of liquid glass, The lake whispers secrets of the night, In ripples that gently pass.”

I’m just going to say it again. The digital economy is the opposite of open or forever. You’re favorite media will disappear, or become paywalled to the point of defacto destruction buy and keep hard media. Pirate and archive media you can. End the business that control our ability to know the truth
