This is legit wild. One of the Trumpiest GOP kooks we’ve had holding high office here in Texas makes an absolute spot-on, beautiful, non-partisan call for government transparency against the governor’s attempt to hide his emails with Elon Musk.

This report has a lot more information than that one less-than-credible accusations against Trump. If people read (I know, it's an impossible ask), you'll see there are three more I would deem extremely well-evidenced and credible.

if you want to follow ANYTHING from what elected Lula here in brazil, this is the most important lesson and change of mindset that happened here just don't give them the attention they want. let them speak amongst themselves and let us win by silencing them with our voices

The online part was important too, of course. We collectively decided to not interact with any right wing post or comment ever. Trolls and bots lost their power. This is a good lesson.

Like I'm with the employees here right, don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're objecting, but what did they think the horrible robot dog was going to be used for, replacing real dogs? Serving you drinks at a party?? Replacing break dancers at the Olympics?

okay but I do want to see a movie version of Fahrenheit 451 that includes the Hound and uses a BD robot dog to play it yes I know BD would never permit it

"At long last, we have built the Mechanical Hound, but don't worry--it's not at all inspired by the Mechanical Hound from Ray Bradbury's classic novella 'A Society That Would Build The Mechanical Hound Would Be Deeply Fucked-Up And Use It To Hunt Dissidents!'"

Imagine if your name was actually Gregor Samsa, how terrified would you be to go to sleep every night? You would be riddled with anxiety. You'd have the worst insomnia ever. If there is a Samsa family out there, it should be a crime against humanity for them to name their child Gregor.

The president of the United States, Leader of the Free World, traveled to Corinth, Mississippi, population 14,622, one week before the midterms to hold a rally in front of a bunch of empty seats and some people who look like they’d leave if some dogs were spotted humping out front.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

They want to ban trans people from swimming in college athletics but they also want to ban trans women from getting changed in the locker rooms at your local community swimming pool also. Denying us this kind of space is a route to denying us health and life.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.
