I’m not holding my breath

Any guesses as to where Kenyans can obtain a steady supply of cheap, high quality EVs?

That could be anyone’s funeral.

Dude is going to find a spot in the ICE brigades overnight.

You’d foolishly waste your wish on a single kidney, but with that robot the kid can collect thousands of them.

Voter Turnout Highest in Half Century as Mamdani Phenomenon Galvanizes Electorate

Still waiting to hear about all those voters who stayed home because Sliwa wasn’t conservative enough.

the left doesn’t vote

Terrible news for the Mamdani campaign.

The only way to fix it is to go further right

Can’t wait for Pete Buttigieg to campaign on doubling the ICE budget.

Harris adviser says VP ran ‘flawless’ campaign, GOP campaign managers candid on primary missteps

Damn, I guess people were just too stupid to vote for the most qualified candidate to ever run for office and the country deserves what it gets. Maybe four more years of fascist tyranny will teach people to vote correctly next time. Or maybe we just won’t have elections anymore, because stupid idiot Americans aren’t responsible enough to manage their own country.

The important thing to remember is that it’s never the fault of the people in power. It’s always the gross, dumb, smelly voters who can’t pick the Lesser Of Two Evils often enough.

You’re not going to believe this, but…

It is, though, when the selection is functionally binary.

Better / Worse / No Opinion isn’t going to get you a ton of extra information with more responses.

You might be inclined to interrogate individual responses and ask how things have improved / worsened / remained unchanged. And, at that point, a surveying a guy who became a Bitcoin millionaire against a guy who simply enjoys watching his browner neighbors get The Purge treatment matters more. But from the perspective of the “Are things better?” question, the answer is the same.

I’m reading 32% as “Actually I’m loving this fascism, it’s great” and the remaining 19% as “When you’re at the bottom of the well it’s hard to go lower”.

Neither seem stupid.

“I smelled your burning incense and assumed you’d be into this Hindu flag”

This feels more like “Both Sides” centrism.

Any suggestion that there’s something questionable or unreliable about the American democratic process is a trick by the Republican Party to suppress liberal voter enthusiasm. And if you mention it you are helping the Republicans win. Also Russia.

If you’re still in line, stay in line. Our elections are secure. The midterms is winnable if you vote in it. Shut up and do what we tell you or you’re an enemy.

Heinlein wrote of a dictatorship rising in the US about now.

The B-plot of Orsen Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game” was Ender’s older brother and sister gaming the two party system via the internet and posting their way into the Presidency. If Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had been siblings, it would have been a near perfect reflection of real life.

Schools with good public transit are a real blessing. I remember living off campus at UT Austin and missing more than a few classes due to the miserable bus schedule. A big chunk of that was the result of the bumper to bumper traffic through central Austin. But it’s a problem the city/state knew existed for decades and refused to address.

Commuter schools are even worse. They straight up don’t provide student housing, then get mad when you need student parking.

Only took them ten years to notice.

You have only yourself to blame

Funny how our animal agriculture industry is collapsing and prices for meat are skyrocketing thanks to climate change.

Hey, you idiot goobers. Fight for your meat! If you can’t afford meat, work harder. Sleep less, hustle more. Join ICE. We just increased their budget to $170M, I’m sure they’ve got enough spare coin for a few BBQs,
