Gravity is nature's force pulling things down. For the arc of the moral universe to bend towards justice, it needs to defy gravity. It only does that when we defy gravity. #VOTE

Hard to see the Enterprise under Kirk’s original command as flagship when we know at least two other members of that ship’s class were commanded by flag officers, Decker and Wesley.

Y2K marketing aside, the year 2000 was the end of the 20th century.

As you might say, facts matter.

Going to have to check out. Reminds me of college days and solving differential equations which I loved.

We're wired how we're wired. We may not fully understand how we got wired, but there's no changing it.

Sorry you had to experience that bs.

Of course, it's possible Fox is feeding Trump this to set up the 25A scenario.

Kentucky deserves a senator with the decency and courage to stand up and speak out for our state. I won’t sit back and watch what’s happening in this country. That’s why I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

SHE IS THE REASON TO WATCH.

The show's fine otherwise, but she is magnificent.

Certainly the more progressive of the two, but Lamb at least would have been reliable for the Dems and likely had a better chance to win the general.

Massachusetts Man 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈♐⚛️🐶🖖🍷🌊 @massachusettsxy.bsky.social · 3d

Can't say I'm surprised. Seemed obvious Lamb or Kenyatta would have been better choices.

We have a small group of people in office who are fascists. If you'd like to preemptively declare them victorious, you're not really trying to save democracy. You just want to feel both virtuous and powerless at the same time.

It was the country’s greatness and potential for even more greatness that made it such an attractive target to the very worst people.

Sure, but wasn't the Reformation supposed to address that kind of problem.

My first job was being a paperboy. I recall people used to pay for information and commentary back then. Why do people think it should be different now?

“We were very naive to leave our public space to social media networks controlled by US or Chinese companies that don’t share our interests and not interested in survival of our democracies.”

If the President has dementia, would his actions have legal validity, e.g., who really issued any pardons?
