If you can see an out of order escalator and not think “Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for your convenience.” we are very different people.
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

This is my thing with poll aggregation and forecasting. It’s not like a peer-reviewed discipline, it’s like a Refined Mathlike Product. This is especially true when it comes to specifically presidential races.
They actually have no way of knowing what their range of error is. It’s barely even pseudo-science

If I could make regular Americans understand one single fact it would be: If you do not have a union then you are always, always, always leaving money on the table. That money is then taken by rich people.

cops aren’t trained to do anything other than escalate and kill and the profession basically attracts adrenaline junkies and bullied
Her family was aware of cops killing people in mental health crises and called 911 to get an ambulance to take her to a hospital. Cops came because it's "standard procedure"

Only the cops arrived at their front door. They kicked it, entered & immediately shot Victoria

with Nazis in particular, if you say “they need to be defeated in the marketplace of ideas” i am just going to assume you sympathize with them.
People who say of Nazis “deal with bad ideas is by defeating them in the marketplace of ideas” are smuggling in the notion that Nazi ideas have not already been defeated on the merits, and are still valid and worthy to consider, or that Nazi "ideas" involve bloodless debate.

Hey scholastic, uh, what the fuck?
Scholastic asks, "Do you want to opt out of 'diverse' books at your school's next book fair?" Your participation in white supremacy has never been easier, just uncheck the 'diverse' books box– poof, no problems. 🙄

Scholastic has been accused of bending to right-wing pressure, making having diverse books optional for school book fairs.
