Every so often we think fondly of dinners in Europe (France and Italy mainly) where drinks started around 9 and dinner around 10. Far more civilized!

We call dinner before 6pm “geezer dinner”.

Chronologically almost 60, physically closer to 70, mentally about 50, emotionally about 25.

Because they feel it’s the last chance for white Xtian nationalism to prevail in the West, and being bigots (racial/religious/political) the possibility of white Xtian nationalism finally falling for good scares them.

Needs most of those to intersect to be a proper Venn diagram, otherwise it’s just a list.

“Breath” and “hydration” could be overlapping circles in the middle, since they are both required.

You could make it a series of concentric rings, with the most crucial (probably “Breath”) at the middle.

Healthcare is the main thing in my experience. It’s so expensive and hard to obtain historically in this country if you’re not fully employed and thus beholden to your employer.

Universal healthcare (not insurance) would be so liberating.

An educated electorate is table stakes.

Bye troll.

You’re vacillating.

Healthcare is a basic right. Also housing.

If you drive a 2025/2026 Tesla or still use X, there really isn't an excuse. You really are just an asshole that looks the other way.

You wrote “I like the existing system”.

Stop trolling. Pick a side. History will judge.

Well then you can GFY. Everyone deserves good healthcare, and the existing system doesn’t allow that.

Promotional graphic with a purple and blue fantasy-themed background and crystal-like formations. The image features two logos: the Wizards of the Coast logo in rainbow gradient colors on the left, and the Trans Lifeline logo in white on the right. Large bold text in the center reads: “Support Trans Lifeline.” Below, smaller text says “Tune in Oct 4” next to the Twitch logo.

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community.

Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

If you are still employed by ICE after last night, you deserve every charge and sentence that co.ea your way in the aftermath of this trumping insanity.
Just Following Orders didn't work for the Nazis and it will not work for you.

Because he feels he’s a loser and is projecting that on those around him.

America, get your shit together.

You’re defending the existing system rather than trying to build something better. That’s lazy.

Henry Ford and Anti-Semitism Henry Ford’s unfortunate descent into anti-Semitism can be better understood by looking at several of his influences.

Henry Ford was definitely antisemitic.

There needs to be other incentives. Public praise. Access to things not available to others but outside the acculturation of wealth.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.

Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

I’m sorry, you publish a “both sides” like this at this point and you expect the public to make up your funding losses?

That’s a terrible working system.

Greater need should get greater skill.

We need to incentivize great doctors from the public pool, rather than let them by hoarded by the wealthy.

For any Feds in DC.

The number of people that go bankrupt every year from medical bills:

Canada - 0

Australia- 0

France - 0

Sweden - 0

Norway - 0

Spain - 0

Portugal - 0

UK - 0

Finland - 0

Iceland - 0

Germany - 0

United States - 326,000

I came to the same conclusion in Trump’s first term.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

Just gonna keep tapping the sign*

Same.

If you’re voting for anyone with an R behind their name, you’d be part of the problem. Also true voting third party for most races.

Many of you have asked about gifts to us during a shutdown, mainly doordash types of things. No. Instead, donate to local food banks like Manna in MoCo, Capital Area Food Bank in DC, Find Food in PGC, and Food for Others in Fairfax. These serve everyone. Please repost. #fedstrong #shutdown
