Folks, yes, he's not talking about "computer voting." He's laying the groundwork for saying that paper ballots counted by computers are not reliable & must be dismissed. And then he will say that it is taking too long for paper ballots to be counted by hand, & therefore they must be dismissed. Etc.

reminder that this guy figured out that gamers could be agitated to the right via his experience running a wow gold farm and he quickly became one of the shadow architects of gg-adjacent rightwing radicalization pipelines which eventually turned into the alt-right base that helped elect trump in '16

Truly never ceases to amaze that the first (!) Trump impeachment has fallen down a memory hole so deep that we can watch a bigger shakedown of *the same Ukrainian president* in real time without it coming up (guilty of this as I didn't mention in my own post yesterday).

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

We are doomed to relive every stupid thing about the 80s. Only this it’s not just the mistakes of the 1980s corporate greed. It’s also the 1880s post reconstruction environment, and the 1780s love of slavery. :(

every inch of progress in the US is like this. BLM, defund the police, trans rights, etc — all marginal, sometimes nonexistent gains followed by massive rightward pendulum swings born of the (false) assertion that by gently prodding an issue, we’ve gone “too far”

AP's still banned and the rest of the White House press corps leaves them hanging. I honestly don't get it. Didn't they all rally around Fox News a couple years ago?

COLLINS: “AP says you banned them because they won’t call it ‘Gulf of America’ — does this mean Trump will retaliate against reporters who don’t use language you want them to, and how does this align with your first amendment commitment?” Beyond parody. Also, chilling.

saying “my heart goes out to you” with the nazi salute is going to be hyper normalized over the next few years
