Even before the internet, people have a tendency to judge their fellows in an all-or-nothing way. Saints or demons.

But just because MTG and Boebert are terrible people on most issues, that doesn't mean we can't have common cause on occasion. If they can help release the Epstein files - use it!

A fascinating thread.

Yet another reminder that Republicans really have become terrible people.
If you vote GOP, this is the kind of asshole you’re voting for.

Bernie Sanders is 84 and serving his 4th Senate term. Mandatory retirement and term limits would have deprived the US of his voice a decade or more ago. It's not the age or number of terms that are the problem.
A bigger problem is lack of choice driven by voter apathy and corporate money.

Trump shares false claim Obama earned $40m in ‘royalties’ from Obamacare US president promoted fictional claim from satirical website that has been debunked repeatedly since 2017

Cheeto “the Pedo” Benito is either the stupidest motherfucker or he thinks his MAGAt supporters are.

This is the challenge of democracy in a society full of unequal relationships. People in power and using it to keep wages low, access to care down, and rents rising are always outnumbered - but they can count on many people tuning out the political process that could otherwise keep them in balance.

He's naming it what now? The Epstein Ballroom? Is that what I heard - Epstein Ballroom?
Got it. He's building the Epstein Ballroom.

Yeah, first time we see BD withOUT his helmet.

Trump says he has final say on paying himself $230m for past investigations President says government owes him ‘a lot of money’ for federal investigations during and after first term

The blatancy of the corruption is mind-boggling. Welcome to autocratic kleptocracy, everybody.

REAL science is out there about the causes of autism and is growing. Give yourself a reality check from the MAHA quacks the GOP have saddled us with and check it out.

These kids are NOT alright.

Increased deaths = degraded services, not improved.

For-profit is no way to run services that mean the difference between life and death. (2/2)

Private equity takeover of hospitals led to rise in Medicare emergency patient deaths, says study Study found seven more deaths per 10,000 patients in private equity hospitals’ versus non-private equity hospitals

In case any of you were still laboring under the idea that capitalism gave corporations incentive to improve services. It doesn't. It gives incentives to increase profitability and that has led to reduced staff, reduced salaries, and increased deaths among Medicare patients. (1/2)

I've generally hated musicals - but I really enjoy The Producers and Hamilton. My theater kid daughter diagnosed me as really just having a problem with "Classic" musicals like the ones my mother watched and that Modern musicals are more my jam.

This is the weirdest thing. 1) The US, which has bases around the world to project our military and economic power, will be hosting a foreign military's base. And 2) It's the Qatari air force and it's going to be in Idaho.

Qatar wants to project military power? From IDAHO?!?

Hey, you multiply two negative numbers and the product is positive. I'm sure that's what the studio execs are thinking here.

Well... someone is. I know where I'm placing my bets on who that is.

Not every campaign is to everyone's taste. I started listening to CR podcasts in early 2018 (great for driving my daughter to and from college) with early Mighty Nein, though Vox Machina is my favorite campaign so far. Excited for the changes for Campaign 4! Variety is the spice of RPG life.

And you won't believe what went on at Antifa Local 323's ice cream social last month!

She nearly stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol.

Oh, yeah. A lot of people don’t realize that the blitzkrieg ran on amphetamines. It’s how they could be so effective for such long periods. But those drugs also erode empathy, so they fueled the Holocaust by Bullets as well.

There's always some toady willing to be the Mouth of Sauron. And on this panel, it's Scott Jennings.

Jane Goodall Dies at 91 While on Speaking Tour: She Was a 'Tireless Advocate' for Nature Jane Goodall, the renowned conservationist and animal welfare advocate who became the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees after spending decades studying them in the wild in Tanzania's Gombe Stream...

What a loss. Jane's research and observations of the Gombe chimpanzees were always fascinating.

Constituency Services for the win. If any tour of the Capitol is going to get through to middle school kids, getting a tour from one of the sharpest, most vibrant, and youthful representatives from their own borough is going to do more to make them realize government isn't just for old, white guys.

I went off to college with Mirriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary in 1987 (so, 9th edition, I believe - I still have it, I'm just not sure where in the house it is).

Trump company strikes Qatari golf resort deal in a sign it's not holding back from foreign business The Trump family company has struck a deal for a luxury golf resort in Qatar. It's a sign that the company has no plans to hold back from foreign dealmaking during a second Trump administration.

Apparently, it's Cheeto "the Pedo" Benito's policy that anyone in a group who made gains since the start of the 20th century in rights or protections and needs anyone's empathy or consideration should just die already.

Avantris Entertainment timed their Kickstarter delivery with impeccable precision. The Crooked Moon: Folk Horror Roleplaying and my Pumpkin King dice arrived in time for Halloween season.
