if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Not just that, Vance doesn't have the cult like support and has the charisma of pond scum.

I think he deserves a fair trial. At The Hague. Where he should be renditioned about five minutes after the next president takes office.

They need to add an extra tenth layer just for him and the other oligarchs

Yeah, the company which I will not name but may be a homophone for Wrath, is not on my Christmas card list.

And yes, reason is to communicate with anyone who needs to push the alarm but may be hearing impaired.

Good reason, horrible implementation, at least initially.

I had to deal with the security mess of those (same brand I think) on my campus.

At least initially, no Auth required to view in elevator cameras OR send messages to elevator occupants. And to make it worse, the url to view them could be incremented to view cameras all over the world.

Just great.

If and when the GOP loses power, we need a wealth tax in the style of Elizabeth Warren - though much higher than originally proposed.

If every billionaire is a policy failure, we've seen every hundred billionaire is a global catastrophe.

After all the discussions on CORE about you and horror games, I sincerely don't know what percentage that is exaggeration and how much is actual distress.

@jonjagger.bsky.social - does Scott have a safe word for these playthroughs?

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.”

Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia?

About 90% of Cats was not my thing. Memory though is a really good song, particularly if the person signing it is really good.

The only way to be true to his legacy is to have it filled with copies of the Epstein birthday book. Just the right thing to do since they were best friends.

They'll never regret it because if the left ever gains power again, the party leadership will never do the same to the right wing media.

The democratic party continues to unilaterally disarm and I've seen nothing indicating that will change.

Your plan is garbage if there are no guardrails preventing the administration from impounding whatever spending they don't like.

You're bringing a wet noodle to a gun fight.

Got a Notion Thief out and was expecting to draw a bunch of cards considering the board state. And I did. But then someone played Sheoldred. And copied a wheel of fortune...

I was eight when my mother got me Might and Magic I for the C64. I hadn't heard of it, and didn't ask for it, but my mom went to the store and asked them what they thought I'd like based on other earlier rpgs like Temple of Apshai.

Kudos to the one who made that recommendation so many years ago!

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

People insinuating that Utah Valley University in the heart of Orem, Utah is some sort of radical violent left-wing hive of villainy is the dumbest take I've seen today. That end of the valley is so red it barely knows blue is a color at all.
