Bay area friends: I'm gonna be in town from Nov 5-27th, let me know if you wanna hang! I'm thinking about setting up camp at Mad Oak some evening/afternoon.

Ah yes, war torn Oregon.

By series and which cast/story arc feels like the vibe at any point.

I'm on approx. my 3rd TNG/Voyager/DS9 watchloop of the year. It works 😅

I often say that conservatives want to repeal the various Civil Rights Act but it’s probably more accurate to say they want to overturn the Reconstruction amendments.

Replace them all. Primary every single one. They are useless to us as we fight this autocracy.

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

If I'm here in late Oct, 100%! also great excuse to finally get coffee 😂

I wish I still had my weighted blanket

I love this. Sometimes I play KQED (Bay Area NPR) when I'm homesick

What are your non-google, non-spotify, mobile music recs?

Woke up to find that the youtube premium plan my early-adopter-of-google-fi plan got me has ended with no warning.

I need background music to focus and now Google wants $14/mo on top of the $45/mo I pay them to keep my US numbers alive. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

It's laughable that so many people still think the US is the best, most free country in the world. Delusional.

When I find myself in a situation where I don't know how to respond, I think about the kind of person I want to be (and be seen as) when I grow up and I act like I think that person would.

As far as I (a non-American non-lawyer) understand, he can't currently legally do this.

Also as far as I understand, however, he has his hands on many of the levers of power and could possibly find or create a legal way to do it.

Russia designated the 'LGBT Movement' as a terrorist organisation. They know there is no such group; that's the point. It means they can choose to arrest ANYONE with any association with LGBT issues and treat them as a terrorist.

The fact that 'antifa' is not a group should not be a comfort here.

does anyone have a PDF of a gift link of Rove's WSJ op-ed? I am SO INTRIGUED but none of my paywall navigation tricks are working and I am currently a broke ass college student

I have shit to do but I just want to curl into a ball and cry. Unfortunately I can't make the tears come either so my body just feels heavy. 🫠 #TalkingAboutIt

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment.

Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

they didn't do this when democratic lawmakers were targeted by a gunman. the mainstream media barely peeped when a Kyle Rittenhouse fan did a mass shooting at a Portland protest. Democrats and the mainstream media are just terrified of conservatives to the point where no one else's lives matter
