Why does anyone even imagine that might be an ok situation?
Humanity has wanted kings since the old testament. Christians don’t even care for the new testament epistles’ warnings of authoritarians. Similar themes predate the bible in other religious texts.
Humans have a comfort and scaling problem. Once the group gets too large immediate comfort becomes the highest priority. No one wants to think for themselves. They’d rather a king decide for them.
Today is no different. The US now decides between an shallow orange king or an intelligent blue queen. They both have the same goals and lead to the same end. It’s only a question of pace and marketing.
Absolutely unadulterated bullshit. You either have no clue what you’re talking about or you are a foreign operative here intentionally trying to undermine democracy. GTFO!

Shallow understanding, a lack of reasoning, and false dichotomy won’t get you far as a programmer. You’ll stagnate in the exploitation stage.
Just watched Vice again last night. Supposed to be a bit funny but it is chilling. The seeds for this degree of power started around Nixon / Regan but only now are we about to see the kind of power Cheney worked for. Now even he fears this power.
When interviewing King, she allegedly admitted the handgun belonged to her and that she bought it from an “unknown person,” according to the affidavit.
It’s possible she claimed it was her gun (and claim she doesn’t know who she bought it from as an explanation) to protect him and take the fall for it, but still a bad situation for everyone involved…
Well, the Republicans are only cheating because "the other side is cheating so they have to even the playing field". Despite no actual evidence of any wide spread voter fraud.
I’ve long known that when this country slips into fascism, my name will be on a list. I won’t be on the first list or the second list. But I’ll be on one of them. And eventually, they’ll come for me.
Orange bad is the one that wants to make it a reality right now.
Be prepared, but not in fear. Also, Kamala Harris will win but the weird orange felon will certainly try to call in his goon squad and the Extreme Court.
They one a single plan. To (re)gain power, no matter what damage is done. These issues that the press and voters keep talking about are just inconvenient sidelines.
Let’s be real. A ton of people will pay to go even if it’s another absolute shit show, or especially if it’s another shit show, just for the media attention. I genuinely hope it’s an absolute flop, but I feel like influencers will flock
Ravi didn’t know it, but he, like millions of Americans, was trapped in a “ghost network.” As some of those people have discovered, the providers listed in an insurer’s network have either retired or died. Many other providers have stopped accepting insurance — often because the companies made it excessively difficult for them to do so. Some just aren’t taking new patients. Insurers are often slow to remove them from directories, if they do so at all. It adds up to a bait and switch by insurance companies that leads customers to believe there are more options for care than actually exist.
I’m incredibly fortunate to be able to pay out-of-pocket for my psychiatric needs. I mean, the costs are very high but I receive great care from two providers (therapist and psychiatrist - one is for talking and the other is for meds). I was absolutely lost without them. I can’t imagine the horror of needing access and being denied. This bullshit system needs to be solved. The richest nation in human history should be able to take care of its people. We’re failing in the worst ways.
But, you know what? Let’s focus on the genitals of school children instead of fixing anything. That seems like a good idea. I fucking hate the right for blocking us from discussing anything that’s actually meaningful about changing society (I’m not saying trans rights aren’t meaningful; I’m saying they weren’t up for debate until they were a useful distraction from questioning power).
