The response rate is also abysmal to begin with. If don’t show your work on how you’re making up for that then I have some questions.

So..a political party’s imperfections don’t have to be the enemy of anything good ever happening? Kinda confusing from all I’ve been hearing.

There seems to be some confusion on this point so I’d just like to point out to journalists that the disastrous coverage of the 2016 election should serve as a warning - not a template.

The Dobbs decision, now Project 2025. There's more than enough to beat Trump right there, and his campaign staff knows it.

It hasn't even been a week since congestion pricing was supposed to into effect, and we already have a high-profile death in the CBD zone caused by an out of state driver. Guess what I'm going to be telling Hochul today when I call! (518) 474-8390

Not even a question that a great sandwich joint is more important to a neighborhood than an expensive set menu place.

“…or any of the other debates” is kind of burying the lede. He’s describing a man without his own mind. Afraid to make a definitive call on anything lest it upset his delicate coalition of steroid abusers, ufo abductees and anti science fanatics.

Crazy watching Jacob Rees-Mogg slowly return to whatever Roald Dahl book he escaped from.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

No matter how you feel about Biden this is criminally irresponsible.

The NYT, the most influential paper in the country, just ran an Op Ed called 'Why I Don't Vote' by a guy who votes. It's that simple. The NYT is a farce. You cannot trust anything they print.

This was one of the first things I learned outside my traditional schooling and an early realization that I was not getting the full story.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

It is notable that the objectively radical actions of the Supreme Court with the decades long implications therein are less interesting to reporters than Biden’s bedtime.

Bullshit like this is why it was a struggle to get my mom to accept she needed a walker, and why she is increasingly isolating herself as her mobility gets worse. This stigmatizing shit makes people like her feel ashamed of their disabilities. And quit the jokes about adult diapers, they’re cruel.

In the first debate vs Mondale it was said he looked old and confused and rambling. The rnc held a press conference days later to deny questions about his mental decline and he dropped 5+ points in the polls.

This guy is a remarkable character. An absolute wild man who came out of OK as a corn pone act and then grew monumentally as a song writer and advocate. Fierce af. First time I heard this song, song here by T Paxton at tribute, the line about “light sparkling wines” really caught me up.

After seeing this unpatriotic horseshit excuse for an op-ed that the New York Times published today, I finally did it. I canceled my subscription. (It was a long time coming.)
