Curious how heavy this would be.... Maybe aluminium if it's too heavy with titanium.

I consider my privilege daily; I do the work of love daily. It is a good thing to have a safe home base, and those who do must make the most of it.

Not only did Democrats lose in 2024 big time, but they’re failing to seize every moment after. How can they have gotten SO bad at messaging? I know some of the answers, but when you zoom out it’s still hard to wrap my head around.

They’ve changed the game, and most Democratic leaders are not only failing to catch on, they’re still actively in denial. Democrats are better at leading the country; Republicans have gotten better at winning political races.

Dems had a strategy of trying to appeal to the best in us, to our aspirations. GOP appealed to us (in a politically collective sense) as we are right now in reality. Collectively, we are uninformed, selfish, and mistrustful. They’ve gotten way too good at exploiting that, and playing dirty.

They know just how much truth to put in their lies. They know just how much bullshit is needed and just what angles to take. They’re better at it this game than the Dems are.

In fact, their preemptive actions will essentially disqualify them from any future approval if Congress collectively has any sense of decency or fortitude. That’s a big “if,” unfortunately. We will never have a king. Do not comply in advance.

All of their acts so far have been illegal, yet so many seem to be talking about them like “Trump said it’s okay, so what can we do?” 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️

I see my job as helping people be their best, highest functioning selves, but I am not afraid of calling out the dysfunctional systems negatively affecting their mental health.

Whether you cope by embracing unfairness or by believing in just judgment after death, pretending there's a working scale or a scoreboard in this life is going to lead you to a world of self-imposed suffering.

Consider me convinced for the moment of the results’ legitimacy, though it pains me.

Agreed on all counts. I truly hate sounding like many Republicans in 2020, and if it's refuted I will accept reality, but until that point it is reasonable to ask the questions in good faith.

If Trump won legitimately, I will accept that reality. However, until this evidence is debunked, count me as skeptical of the 2024 presidential election results.

I’ve heard numerous times from mainstream news channels that electronic voting systems are hackable. Would it hurt to do a hand recount in some of these counties, or one of these states, and see where it takes us? Are we going to pretend this isn’t plausible?

Bad things can come from mostly good sources. Good things can come from mostly ad sources. If I were running the universe (thank God I am not), this is one of the philosophical chemicals of which I’d add some more drops into earthlings.

I deleted mine, then made a new account merely to follow a handful of people I like who weren’t active anywhere else. Now almost all of those people have moved here, so I expect I will be deleting for good in the near future.
