i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

Just in time for #caturday, I noticed something very interesting on this ancient Greek pelike (jar) featuring Poseidon and Amymone. A very rare representation of a cat. It doesn't seem to be very impressed by the presence of the gods. Perhaps this is a scene from a play ... 🏺 1/

Online leftists miss the point when they treat trans, women’s, BIPOC, and disabled struggles as secondary to the “workers’ revolution.” Dismantling racial supremacy and patriarchy is the revolution. If you overthrow capitalism without uprooting those foundations, it just comes back with a new names.

No the strategy is push Dems to be more then reheated 2010s Republicans. I personally know the Dem party only serves corporate interests, but arguing the “far-left” (a phrase so broad as to be meaningless) is saying don’t vote is possibly if you only myopically understand politics as team sports.
Rem: I warned you as we get closer to the midterms how the left would rise up agnt the Dem Pty again" Hasan Piker who has become one of the biggest mouth piece for the far-left is singling to the anti-Democratic pty lunatic to not vote for dems. This is a strategy

Any nominal Trek “fan” who tries to close the sliding door behind them deserves the airlock. Infinite diversity in infinite combination.
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

It’s not about whether you personally like or dislike remote work - it’s about executives trying to strip options, jobs & rights away from *everybody*.
Working remotely is not just a better setup for many disciplines: it allows teams to include different people w/ different strengths & experiences.
