Well I guess we know why President Biden seemed distracted at the debate. I am so grateful he was able to lead this country out of the pandemic malaise, God knows how bad things would be if it had been someone else. He knows his own mind and fortunately has a pretty good idea how the government is

Stealing billions of our own tax dollars from blue states like we're conquered territory and redistributing them to the ultra wealthy. Intolerable.

Incredible that the side of the debate that was repeatedly wrong to the tune of hundreds of thousands of deaths has the audacity to demand apologies and genuflection from the people who were right and worked to save lives. Sick shit!

This is really interesting, appeals to my priors on how to activate a partisan of any ideological stripe, appears to have explanatory power (2020 primary), and seems precisely calculated* to drive a particular sort of anti-Democrat leftist absolutely around the bend with rage. *not intentionally

Rural libraries decimated by IMLS cuts, rural hospital decimated by Medicaid cuts, red states more broadly disproportionately hurt by SNAP cuts, and FEMA cuts. Why do Dems hate rural America? Oh, wait...

Can confirm @jay.bsky.team here: Bluesky has become a great driver of referral traffic. Not demoting link posts is huge, and the community of readers / responders here feels more thoughtful and engaged. X has become essentially worthless for the task www.wired.com/story/big-in...
