how about the other way around?

So all my social media in one app. With Crossposting. Sounds... Maybe... Dunno @openvibe.social

I did not expect Jill Stein to be dumb enough to say that she would pardon Trump for his crimes, but here we are. If you're still willing to vote green at this point, then just admit you don't care about actual justice.

Today's WaPo front page. Above the fold, anti Biden headline. Below the fold, much smaller, article about the special counsel filling, positioned not as major news but as "drama in the election flight" These are all choices...

Bruce Springsteen: "With full knowledge that my opinions are no more or less important than those of any of my fellow citizens ... I'm supporting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for VP and opposing Donald Trump and JD Vance." FULL VIDEO: www.instagram.com/p/DArLPGnIJD3/

Idaho senator tells Native American candidate to go back to where she came from, storms out of public event

Statement from Vice President Harris on the International Longshoremen’s Association Strike

Wow, HUGE October surprise breaking this morning: apparently Trump was adjudicated responsible for RAPING A WOMAN [holds finger to ear] hang on I'm getting some breaking news, apparently we all knew about this and yet somehow he is still a candidate for president people take seriously

Vanity domains and stuff, but yeah... controlling your own accounts seems pretty important to me. I believe Bluesky correctly manages the move - I'm now @dirk.hohndel.org

Now where did I put my surprised face? Well, DUH. Yeah. Obviously. Humans suck at being unbiased. Our brains are designed to be biased.

If this doesn't frighten the crap out of you, I suggest reading up on the Kristallnacht Can't wait for the NYT reporting on "Trump encourages more impactful policing to improve the safety of Americans"...

The next cover of The New Yorker, in which the magazine endorses Vice President Harris. — And I just overheard someone say “I’m not voting for Kamala because she’s a woman, I’m voting for Kamala because she wants me to have as many rights as a man”. This needs to be said more.

When all of your enemies are terrorists and all of your strikes are surgical, when all of your aggressions are self-defense and all of your countless atrocities are unintentional—you are simply full of shit and everyone, supporters and detractors alike, knows it.

Look if you want to be showered with corrupt gifts from shady folks in public life, you can do it, you just have to get yourself on the Supreme Court.

Oregon has the best senator, hands down.

Clay Higgins is a Christian man of deep personal integrity and if you doubt me you can ask any of his three ex-wives, the Auschwitz Memorial that condemned him, the Louisiana sheriff’s department that fired him for being too racist, his social media posts threatening to shoot protesters, the investi

The part I hate most about the Great Replacement BS is that immigrants don't, as a rule, become Democrats. They become Americans, and they'd become Republicans if Republicans didn't think scapegoating them was better business.

An authoritarian demagogue inspiring crowds to demand the expulsion of a group of nonwhite legal residents based on their nationality. Could not be more explicit what we're seeing here.

Finally, an app for stalkers, by stalkers.

It's much the same with the economy, which is somehow described as a winning issue for Trump. Hard to imagine it would be depicted that way if a Republican administration had tamed inflation, presided over low unemployment, real wage gains for low-income workers, and a record-setting DJIA.

“The GOP candidate is openly running on a platform of ethnic cleansing” seems like an angle that a responsible press would be stressing from now until the results are certified.

I'm sorry, you're telling me the people who stole all the art in the world to make computer software that can't do basic arithmetic would tell a lie? futurism.com/the-byte/ai-...

I swear Tim Walz is so good at this.

Party Running Rapist for President Midly Concerned Other Candidate Digs Transgender Porn

What is the point of having professional political reporters if they cannot tell readers that the likelihood of Trump banning abortion is not remotely mysterious www.bostonglobe.com/2024/09/11/n...

Every time I think I couldn't possibly hate the @nytimes.com any more than I already do, they show me the error of my ways. The Times editors suck so bad. So fucking bad.

Really not a good turn in the trajectory of any society when top politicians supported by half the country as well as the richest private citizen complain loudly about how unfair it is that there aren’t more threats and attempts to kill their opponents.

I'm sorry a mentally disturbed man with a violent past who had voted Trump and supported Vivek Ramaswamy took advantage of Republicans making it easier for disturbed people with violent pasts to get guns—and for everyone to bring rifles to more places—got a rifle close to Trump. I think that's bad.

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

That's extremely likely. And that has me extremely worried for the next 3+ months... it will likely get very ugly. ESPECIALLY after they (hopefully) get resoundingly defeated at the ballot box...

When I interviewed Erykah Badu in 2017, she used the phrase "stomping mad" to describe someone who is so angry, they start acting like a toddler. I think about it a lot. Stomping mad. This is a perfect example:

the quickest way to ruin a perfectly working product is to add AI

If you're more afraid of kids getting books than bomb threats, stop pretending your concern is "the children."

So Trump and Vance are inciting violence, stochastic terrorism to be more exact, in Springfield, OH. All this is being covered as just another of Trump’s “upending norms”. Schools and hospitals have shuttered due to bomb threats. What has to happen for the press to wake up and call this what it is?

This election is a referendum on whether the American electorate is smart enough to keep self-governing. Like a dementia test, but for our whole society.

Trump and Vance and the entire GOP are well aware their racist fear mongering is inciting threats and violence from their knuckle dragging base, but saying they “don’t care” is wrong. This is deliberate. The threats and violence are what they want.
