Periodic reminder.

Nobody got rich on their own.
Elizabeth Warren's observation also underpins the argument as to why it is right for the rich to say their fair share of tax.

I regret to inform you that reality is getting so dumb that it's getting harder to tell if this is a bit.

Screenshot of skeet by nationally published troll about how ridiculous it is that Cuomo is riding around NYC in a white bronco. Screenshot of Jeff Colton tweet with a picture of this white bronco parked in a bike line.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle.

How is it?

I liked outer worlds 1 a lot, but I struggle with $70 for week 1 games.

If the ring corrupted a bird, it would have been harder for gandalf to catch it when it ran away.

Are you talking about the tattoo that he had for 10+ years or the old reddit posts?

I think the tattoo should end his campaign. But it was apparently not enough for Bernie to withdraw his endorsement.

The reddit posts are a closer call, but we'll never know b/c the tattoo is a much bigger story.

This slippery slope bothers me almost as much. This isn't "was a dumbass kid doing embarrassing things," it's a Nazi insignia. If anything, the fact that it didn't immediately sink his campaign is a sign that an embarrassing post of drunken shenanigans or poor taste jokes isn't as bad as you think.

Yeah, I think that only applies to county commissioner in giant counties. Like Los Angeles county or something. The 90 some percent of counties that have less than 200k people probably don't get a deep dive.

Briefly pretending to [care about the environment/ believe in freedom from Sauron] but immediately [starts producing technology for evil / starts producing technology for evil].

"To have any hope of being competitive" is carrying a lot of assumptions. I think OP is taking about races where a well funded candidate would probably get like ~30-40% of the vote anyway, so nobody serious runs. In those races, a few dozen hours from an amateur with no ads might get 15 or 20%

I'm not sure Enron employees lost prestige this much, this fast.

Based on available evidence, "prosecutable war crime" is none of them at the moment.

among other things, I'm just so sick of candidates like Platner, Biden, John Edwards, Anthony Weiner, who fucking know they have skeletons that cannot possibly win a campaign with and are willing to sacrifice all of us on their own arrogance and delusions that nobody will notice

I don't know much about tattoos, but I assumed it would be redder if it was done in the past 24 hours.

Do you think this is photoshopped? Or did he get it covered more than two days ago?

Excuse me. In the country. It's one of the most historic buildings in the world.

I tried and failed to find the underlying post to say nobody is paying me to hate Nazi tattoos. I do that for free.

This is the least bad explanation of recent revaluations. There are many plausible explanations that are much worse.

Vituperative Erb @vituperativeerb.bsky.social · 14d

Right the best case explanation here is “I’m a moron with bad impulse control and probably an alcohol problem” which describes several men I am friends with, none of whom I would support for higher office
