I've been conditioned to see a dog pfp the same way I would regard a pepe av in the sense that it's a strong indicator that I'm about to read something insidiously anti-human. I think a lot of them are real people and that US Americans of a certain age and type just use the dog pics but sometimes..

You twits have been pitching incrementalism for THE LAST 50 FUCKING YEARS

It gave us Trump.

Log out and STFU, centrist coward.

Without the 2008 crash and COVID in 2020, Dems would not have won an election since Clinton decided the only way to win was to co-opt conservatism.

Nice deflection.

Dems themselves are Reagan Right… on the record (Obama, Pelosi, et alia).

They love to hate the left (such as exists at all in the US) for two reasons:
1) trying to woo Republicans, and
2) having a convenient scapegoat for their serial electoral failures.

Thinking only in Left and Right, or Democrat and Republican, is lazy thinking.

It would help to focus on what actually makes sense, and what is benefiting the majority of the people, in order to put things on the right tracks!

Hollow words that can be filled with just anything are not helpful!

Lastly, from mid 2000s - some fun dueling guitars on a JJ Cale/Skynyrd tune.

One of our faves from our 60s/“Big Chill” set, recorded in mid-80s

A lot of fun to stretch out on, and I kind of like how my guitar solo worked out… nice interaction with the rhythm section.

Vocals are Kenny Hogan.

Truth is, some of my best improv work grew out of mistakes.
I was told once that someone (Miles, maybe?) said that there are no wrong notes; just repeat it and weave it into the new direction that it suggests. There is always an interesting “way out”.

That’s cute.
Meanwhile, China eats our lunch because they understand good governance
and a healthy society.

Weird, it's like you had leverage on this *exact* problem a month ago. What happened, again?

All talk, all performatism, and then you kneel down and submit.

You are no leader.

Resign for the good of your party and your country.
Do the right thing for once in your political life.

I miss her stumbling bumbling speech when she’s not reading from a teleprompter.

I miss her misleading the public regarding her boss’ dementia.

She also supported genocide instead of speaking up publicly, do you miss that too?

Is that joy?

I miss her support for Universal Healthcare in 2020, which stopped when her corporate donors told her to stop.

And the genocide, don’t forget that part. All those bombs dropped with joy. So heartwarming, girlboss.

They are what they are, and good luck to the young’uns.
I’ve just seen this movie more than once.
