Yeah, this is the horrible thought I cling to often while fully acknowledging it's horribleness.

The Legend of Lizzie Borden on TV at midnight. My older stepsister convinced me to stay up and watch with her. Then she fell asleep. I was scared yet very interested in the story. Still get shivers thinking of it.

When I was growing up the big thing was overpopulation. Guess we solved that?

I'm thinking Dr. Phil's endorsement changed zero votes, nor his rescinding of it.

My wife and I thought the same thing, but we're in the don't really get it crowd. We knew this. We felt the lack.

I really miss the waiting until sometime in the late afternoon to turn them back. I want that hour when I can notice it. I will re-enact the old ritual with the 3 I will need to set back.

This straight white mid-fifties dude was hoping to hear "Goodluck, Babe" but I loved the new song! Turned to my wife of 26 years and said "I'm really glad I already have you because I probably couldn't compete with that."

Where are all the articles demanding that Trump govern from the center? Or from any consistent political position whatsoever that isn't rooted in his own interest and his alone?

They aren't skeptics. They are denialists. They aren't really questioning the results, they just want to be able to change them to reflect the result they want.

Let me know if they are still saying this tomorrow after the nightly shills spew their spins and that becomes tomorrow's story.

So, like Mitch McConnell, he is hoping the Democrats take care of Trump on their own so he can swoop in afterwards and take advantage. That didn't work for McConnell. Cowards. Unprincipled cowards.

I'll take it. I've had Kiss' Hard Luck Woman stuck in my head for days.

But gerrymandering the legislature is what allows the shenanigans.

But we have learned, especially since Jan 6, that there just aren't that many "sensible" Republicans. Otherwise this wouldn't even be an issue anymore.

I like Threads. I like BlueSky. Both seem to be as good as the people you follow. I also use Mastodon, but I haven't found a big enough interesting group to follow there. I don't care about engagement or followers. I just want entertaining content when I open my phone as a distraction.

Pretty sure you can find plenty of voters in these comments who don't believe the NY Times even attempts to rise above partisanship. The Fox News of print media.

Yeah, unlike the spectacle created by Trump, the job of being president is not usually conducted in front of TV cameras for show. It's actual work. Biden has done the job.

My daughter will get to cast her first ballot while voting for a woman for president.

Mastodon and Threads. Maybe IG but I don't open it very often.

You can only lie about your opponent like they do, not state facts!

We could regulate online privacy in general, but we aren't. Congress is targeting a particular company with a particular and problematic hammer.

The grounds for the ban are relevant and arguments about the constitutionality of those grounds are legitimate. It's important too and like all constitutional arguments, the specifics of a particular situation don't negate the supposedly general application of those arguments.

My issue is that whatever the threat of TikTok is is not limited to TikTok and going after TikTok specifically raises all sorts of issues that are troubling on other grounds. China does not need TikTok to do what they say China is using TikTok to do. Its either misunderstanding or misdirection.
