Candy, ice and lottery tickets have long been impulse items sold at checkouts in American grocery stores. Now bullets are joining the list of merchandise peddled to consumers as they exit at a growing number of stores around the country.
Start-up putting ammo vending machines in grocery stores plans to grow
Dallas-based American Rounds says it makes selling ammo safer and more convenient, but some public officials and health experts worry about impulse bullet buying.

I'm watching the Meet the Press interview with Trump right now. It is clear that Kristen Welker does not have the juice. I like the way she presents and speaks but she did very poorly in this interview.

The thing about reading enlightenment philosophers is that you have to read like 50 pages of the most uninteresting drivel ever written about like the biblical reasoning for why Adam was not the first king, before you get to the nuggets that all of the western liberal tradition was built on.

The thing that sucks about BlueSky is that sometimes I do want to know what the conservatives are saying about a certain topic. I just don’t want to see constant Nazi apologists and the most openly racist stuff you have ever seen all the time.

This is why I had to leave. I loved Twitter so much but it was not the same place. I’m not looking for an echo chamber. I am open to listening to other opinions. I’m not interested in open Nazi propaganda and this level of made up nonsense.

Unfortunately, they believe that is what we are doing anytime there is something they deem woke in movies or video games.
it is funny how it's always the right following the left around online. amused myself earlier imagining the opposite, a bunch of woke progressives furious about not being accepted on stormfront or such

Remember, it’s okay for
radio, cable, local news, newspapers, podcasts, youtube, facebook, and twitter to be right wing echo chambers.
But IT IS NOT OKAY for a new app that’s starting to gain traction to be a left wing echo chamber.
NO NO NO NOT FAIR!

I just now deactivated my Twitter and deleted the app. Really sad to me but I feel like I can make a little home here.

When we won in 2020 no one took seriously any call for conservatives to get out of their misinformation echo chambers. In fact any effort to do that now is being smeared as out of touch. My new motto is “don’t be radical for the sake of radicalism but also don’t concede an inch to those monsters”.
For starters left-leaning people couldn’t live in a bubble even if we wanted to because we live in an inescapably, violently conservative society. And second of all I don’t think a website that’s become an online Nazi rally really broadens anyone’s horizons
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

I just saw some of the most racist, vile stuff I have ever seen on the other site. There are features I like so much more over there but for my mental health and sanity I believe I’m done completely with it.
