The professor here does an excellent job grounding the issues Anderssen avoids in making his weird self-emulating and honestly racist lament of our society's mild attempts to address systemic issues that same racism helped establish. Thank you professor!

I think we just need to fully comprehend that a lot of these leaders just either cannot or will not keep up. My honest guess is Schumer has some prior War Powers legislation in mond, but does not understand the need to add that context. While that honestly seems like a hard task, THATS THE JOB

Zuck: The average American has three friends.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

It's like there is a substantial portion of us who simply will not accept that there is a catastrophe until the walls start caving in on them, specifically.

BUY BOOK ENJOY BOOK, THEN READ MORE BOOK.

So we're just going full police state, I guess? Seems like a problem. Sure would be nice to see some Democratic leadership take this seriously. *Some noises about repealing Section 230* Ah good, definitely should grant more power to the same govt agencies doing police state stuff. Get them out.

I simply do not believe the truth of our existence is that we have to be this selfish and malicious to be happy

Where is the lie?

This has been an ongoing project for a while, and liberals everywhere need to recognize the threat these actors pose to a liberal democracy. Rufo is a slime ball whose modus operandi is to conflate sexual perversion with LGBTQ+ communities, and has used it to push them out of education spaces.

Really crazy to me that a lot of "tree of liberty" patriots seem to favor a guy George Washington would pretty clearly punch in the face.

Really needs to be a quick 2-3 click method to tell the democratic party leadership just how badly they suck at any given time. It is wild that Dems hire consultants to help them gauge their party interest at a time when it seems clear their own party actively dislikes them so much.

The speed at which NYTimes has moved to embrace sports betting is absolutely insane. Its just bonkers.

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

Holy cow! I got a response from Schiff defending his yes on Sean Duffy: Some of the nominees appear qualified and suitable for their intended roles, irrespective of whether I agree with them on every issue. Unfortunately, some of the other nominees President-elect Trump has...

Anyone out here have kids with an IEP? You want to check out what will happen if/when Trump tries this? I can't really comprehend the level of generational destruction this is going to cause. Folks, you need to step up and tune in. We really are in for hard times. Contact your reps, reach out.

I don't got no book, but you should check this out if you are a fan of tight fantasy.

I have a very small following so this doesn't do much, but I'm pretty angry the FCC is going after NPR. They are trying to take out their funding, without which public radio is not going be around much longer. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/b...

Hey these books were rad, if you read sci-fi ot fantasy there are 2 from the series out already that rock. Check it out!

That next step is daunting, but someone needs to take them and my kids are counting on me.

As someone who tries to follow national politics with an interest in Democratic leadership, I cannot emphasize enough how little interest I have in who these people are or what they did.

I used one of those all-in-one breakfast sandwich makers this morning (thank you White Elephant). The end product is not too bad! I'm not sure it beats frying an egg while some bread toasts, slapping some cheese and stacking it up - but the novelty was neat. Cleanup wasn't too much either.

All the screenshots of other social media sites on here are like when your dog brings you the grossest shit it found in the yard. The dog is so pleased; my ick factor is not.

It kind of seems like folks, even long-time skeeters, are figuring out how to deal with content management. You can see users recognizing DQ or other engagement bait, but also trying to take part in meaningful conversations.

Am I going to end up watching the Yacht Rock documentary? Yes, I am.

I like reading stuff, and so far this place has been worthwhile to read. I dig the community impact so far - the block right seems to be thinning out ragebait/insultfest/dogpiling a bit. Hope it has legs!
