So what gets you kicked out of the Republican Club? I shouldn't be laughing at this -- or should I?

Man, 81, displays lack of expertise about current pop music. So what? And it's not the Times or the Post or one of the cable networks. If even Slate is playing this game now, we've got trouble with a capital T, a reference I assume the writer of this piece wouldn't understand.

Am I in an echo chamber? Am I being divisive? Damn right I'm divided from fascists. We're not "all in it together" with people who want to destroy the things (and people) we cherish. And no, I don't want to have conversations with the fascists, although occasionally I'll mock one. Mock and block.

So are these candidates essentially jockeying for position in case Trump is no longer among the living a year from now? There is, as the kids would say, a non-zero chance of that.

Some days I start a bunch of replies to people who are worried about things, read what I'm typing, and think "Nah, that's not going to be helpful." In person, sometimes you can help just by listening. The online equivalent is what? A reply that says "I'm listening"?

Nothing lasts forever. Not even this broken zombie "union." When will we start talking about what a post-USA world looks like? How far are we from that?

The media has done a terrible job reporting on Trump, but a bright spot was that when he was in office some outlets got comfortable with stating that the president was not telling the truth. What will it take to get them comfortable with saying he talks like a person whose mind no longer functions?

This is kind of funny, but it's also an example of what's wrong with journalism. Famous actor gets upset about a baseball game, in a very typical baseball-fan way, and it's news, for some reason. We don't have many journalists left and we need to not waste their time reporting stuff like this.

The Walls are Closing in on Trump: Day 873.
He must be in a very big room. How many times have we heard "This one is really big! He's screwed!" I doubt he'll outlive the court proceedings.

White people need to check ourselves ALL the time. We've grown up in a white supremacist culture and much of it is invisible to us because the slings & arrows go past us. It's why BBIMP need to be listened to about its effects.

Mary JUSTICE FOR BREONNA @MarysF_ingTiredThis is like Dems who think they can't also be white supremacist, or progressives or any other group who thinks they are immune from that shit. You don't have to wear a hood to still be a white supremacist.11:43 AM - Oct 18, 2023

Does losing ground on the second ballot mean Jordan has no chance to be Speaker? Asking because I'd like to hear what people who understand this better than I do are thinking.

I want to believe that Jordan as Speaker will spark disgust and lead to a blue majority. But how many swing voters are there? How many are OK with voting R but not for Rs who R too much? I don't know. I live in a blue pocket of a red state. Maybe that makes it hard to see the people in the middle.

If I choose a side in a conflict, that side is never a country. I stand with peaceful people who aren't trying to control how (or if) strangers live. You can find them anywhere, and you can find the people who are a threat to them anywhere, too.

What does it mean to have a ‘free’ media when
our newspapers, TV channels, radio stations,
social media and streaming services are owned
by a handful of giant corporations?

Maybe we should try and give all Americans healthcare, education, childcare, paid sick leave, paid vacation time, paid maternity leave, paid family leave, and a living wage for 5 years and see if everyone likes it.
If they don’t, we can go back to the cruel bull$hit we have now.

I wasn't sure I liked the idea of the thread summary. But now that I see it in action, I think it will lead me to read more threads.

On October 4th, FEMA will be doing a Test of the Emergency Broadcast System. If you are a person who keeps a secret phone in hiding in case of domestic violence, be sure it is totally powered off. The FEMA test is designed to break through any form of muting on any phone and your phone will go off.

Other leagues are doing much better with VAR. Other leagues are reversing bad decisions without adding more bad decisions. If the Premier League is using the same technology, the problem must be the people it is choosing to use it.

What scares me is that if Trump is somehow elected again, we won't know who is really the chief executive. It won't be this pathetic old man who was never intelligent and whose brain is now soup. There will be someone behind the curtain. Or a lot of someones.
