President: operates behind a curtain, no peeking

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Board Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

In preparation for the Biden and Trump presidential debate today.

Same!

the planet is on fire and people can’t afford air conditioning, surely this is the time to come up with a technology nobody asked for and nobody wants then dedicate all the electricity to maintaining it

It is my personal opinion that menopausal hot flashes are the last of one's fucks burning up.

Two baby raccoons with their paws on a yellow tennis ball mid play. The mama raccoon is behind them.

I put tennis balls out on the patio to see if the baby raccoons would play with them and...

I can't remember a tech campaign this relentless.

Adorable borb!

Elephants call each other by name, study finds Researchers used artificial intelligence algorithm to analyse calls by two herds of African savanna elephants in Kenya

one of my deep seated beliefs is that elephants are one of the other high level intelligences on this planet and that if there is a judgment day humanity will be held to account for our crimes against them www.theguardian.com/science/arti...

OW! You poor thing!

So cute!

Don't worry kids, it's just an awkward coincidence that major news outlets like @washingtonpost.com and @thedailybeast.bsky.social are replacing their top editors with right-wing propagandists before the most fraught election in American history.

This is why book bans are on such a steep incline. The far right extremists who organize them are capitalizing on easily inflamed bigotries to defund institutions of public learning bc it's the most effective and cheapest way to cling to their power.

Just fold the studio into Disney and kill it already. Make Toy Story sequels till the sun fucking burns out. Love how this shift conveniently happened when more woman/POC were really pushing to direct their own stories. Defining their experiences as not "universal" is saying the quiet part aloud.

TRUMP: If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone.

Yes. If you commit 34 felonies by filing false business records to cover up election interference, you too can be convicted by a jury of your peers via the due process of our criminal justice system.

“ Interviewers: I beg you. Stop asking Republicans if they think the trial was “rigged.” Ask them if they believe that candidates should be allowed to make illegal hush money payments to further their campaign. Ask them, specifically, which evidence they think the jury got wrong.”

found it!

Finally, an Honest-to-Goodness Great New Rom-Com Hit Man is actually funny, actually sexy, and announces the arrival of a major new movie star.

Richard Linklater's romantic thriller Hit Man is minor Linklater but major fun, w/ movie-star-in-the-making Glen Powell as a philosophy prof who moonlights as a fake contract killer (based on a real guy!). See it in theaters to show Netflix that, yes, we still like movies. slate.com/culture/2024...

I hope people understand that what we are seeing is the systematic destruction of the civil war amendments by the Supreme Court, which are what made America and actual democracy and upon which all minority rights in the United States rely

GOP campaigns staffed with young operatives who are into Nazi stuff is bad actually. Very charitable explanation of "just trolling" is still quite bad.
Do you know what they called people who weren't into Hitler's worst ideas but backed him because they liked how it bothered people they hate?
Nazis.

Now I’m no tech visionary, but if I asked a very famous actress to provide the voice for my product and she turned me down, I would not simply use her voice anyway

Who won? 😍

yep

He seems... nice. 🤢

Ok, just *reading* this got my heart rate up. I can't even imagine how scary it was to be in that situation. Holy crap.

SO very much same!
