A movement that demands grace and empathy whenever someone from their side suffers while offering none to the other isn’t really a movement that gives a shit about anything other than power and control

This really depends on what you mean by “political”. If we’re discussing different approaches to the economy or foreign policy? Sure! But if your “politics” are “I should have more rights than [insert group of people]”? No, fuck off.
Can crucial political conversations be friendly? CSPAN’s new show “Ceasefire” thinks so.

Caught in the “Ceasefire”
A new show on C-SPAN seeks to model civil dialogue and bipartisan coöperation in an age of inflamed debate. But is getting along a worthwhile goal?

How do we get regular people to understand that when we talk about taxing the rich, we’re not talking about Aunt Carol who went to Italy once and owns a lake house with two of her coworkers?

not going to RT it because it’s obviously very heavy shit but man, the video of the guy who wrestled the gun away from the shooter in Australia is incredible. *that’s* what being a hero looks like, not having a garage full of guns or packing heat to go to Walmart

literally any other form of communication or connection with the dead that feels right to you is better than and more real than AI.
if you’re seeking a sign from them, just look around. promise you’ll find it (but ya gotta put your phone down!)

the cool thing is you can talk to your dead loved ones whenever you want, no device and no AI slop bullshit needed. just start talking to your grandma. that’s really all it takes. you could also write them a letter. have your cards read. find a therapist to help process your grief.

It’s so maddening to watch them get their asses spanked in EVERY election, but the piracy/warmongering/racism/rights violations just move faster.
The GOP in Congress are as responsible as any member of the admin at this point, and I will do my civic duty to support the trials in any way I can.

AI tech bros promising to allow you to talk to a digital simulacrum of your dead relatives as a false comfort during your natural process of grief are, I’m afraid, in contravention of the 1736 Witchcraft Act, the 1951 Fraudulent Mediums Act, and should be hanged. I don’t make the rules.

This Georgia flip is in a district that the GOP drew to drown Democratic voters in Athens into a neighboring red county, Oconee.
But tonight, Dems in Athens were out in FULL FORCE to swamp that gerrymander.

Started to joke about the woke-ness of sans serif fonts but it turns out that’s *actually* what this is. Apparently Calibri is more accessible to people w/visual disabilities (which I assume includes most people over 40 who, like myself, need reading glasses?). As ever: fuck these pricks.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.
