Politics and culture with a bit of technology. I know a good bit about two of those things, and imma get real weird about it.

For this particular choice or just all of the choices that led to this one?

Maybe I'm stating the obvious.

But Democrats should absolutely attend the #SOTU tonight.

And they absolutely should walk out when their consciences dictate.

And then tell the press exactly WHY they walked out.

Be human beings. Don't be a hive mind. Vote - and act - as your moral code demands.

If I could wave a magic wand, I would eliminate ALL media reports on nominal figures.

"Trillion dollar DOD budget"
"Dow 50,000"
"150k jobs added."

ALL meaningless without context.

I suppose if you've already rationalized your support for a dementia - addled pedophile, rationalizing cops murdering people in the street is super fucking easy.

I will continue saying it until I completely lose my mind -

They don't know that they're the BAD GUYS. And that's a criminally under - analyzed part of our stupid, stupid discourse.

Democrats want to fund police departments so that their jobs are easier and safer.

Republicans want to go outside of the legal system to open concentration camps because they think law enforcement doesn't know how to do their jobs.

I feel like the politics of this are super easy, you guys.

It's going to get to the point where Andrew McCarthy and Johnathan Silverman are carrying him around and telling everyone how great he is, isn't it?

I don't give a rat's ass if they work. I want them to have medicine if they're sick.

That's... that's pretty much my whole position.

People should get medicine if they're sick. All of them. Whenever they might need it.

But Democrats have a "messaging problem".

Of course it was an intentional act of evil!

The actress' name is Bilie Piper.

She wasn't credited as "Rose" or "The Doctor" in the episode.

Even further, those "squishy" "Dems" constitute an entirely evanescent voting base. Democrats do ANYTHING to the left of Joe Biden, and they disappear.

The "result" would be yet another 51% or so victory that invites a bunch of dipshit, low - information, "taxes should be LOW" voters into the Dem tent. We quite simply don't need them.

Let them bitch about "not having a home" for awhile. Maybe an original thought will enter their heads.

Yeah, I gotta call bullshit on this being "key".

It's just an argument for the status quo, and for Dems to stick to the "center"

There's a whole 30% of voters that are dormant, and doing more of the same "centrist Dem" bullshit guarantees that they'll stay dormant.

Mon Mothma dancing - a solemn meditation on radical normalization and the tiny moments of joy that can be found while the world around you crumbles into fascism.

"How many kids have to die before we do something about this?!"

Is fun, because depending on the issue, the answer is "one" or "infinite". There's NO middle answer.

My wife has a titanium bar in her leg from a break a few years ago. She can walk really well, but stairs can be awkward, and running is definitely out.

So I guess she doesn't deserve any accommodation according to your arbitrary judgement?

GTFO.

Here's the thing. How many clicks did the Biden press conferences get? How much ad space did they sell around the promise of a pending Biden press conference?

The more people who are denied care and left to die, the more profitable it is for health insurance companies.

Your reminder that for-profit healthcare isn't healthcare.
It's an exploitation of sick people and transfer of wealth from the working class to the mega-rich.

Like ignoring a deadly disease because it mostly impacted the LGBTQ+ community?

Like ignoring a Presidential briefing about an eminent terrorist attack?

Like ignoring a growing pandemic as thousands died?

It's kind of how Republicans roll.

I'm sorry, I'm just not wrapping my head around "donors pressuring politicians" around important decisions. The fact that that sentence exists and is entirely normalized seems to be the problem, and geriatric leaders is just a symptom.

Who's really in charge, here?

In New York? At those prices?

Just go to your local grocery store and ask if they have any produce that they're discarding.

And throw from your shoulder, not your elbow. Lean into heaving that tomato and point at where you want it to go.
