Paging Bill Cassidy
The racial undercurrents to this have always been obvious. White conservatives can shit on huge swaths of the country constantly and be constantly aggrieved but a racial minority offers a single measured critique or suggestion and they aren’t being “grateful” enough for what they have
Bill Cassidy has a choice. He promised unprecedently close access and that he wouldn’t allow RFK Jr to do these things. And he’s continuing to choose silence and inaction. He should resign in disgrace
It’s time to call on Bill Cassidy to resign
It was just a few months ago that Bill Cassidy said exactly this, that “vaccines save lives” and promised he wouldn’t let RFK jr dismantle vaccine infrastructure or do distrust. Now he’s silent. Shame on him
It’s such a weird notion that the military and the people who have died serving in it fight “in defense of” a flag. No. They defend what it it has stood for, and one of those things is freedom of speech
Just remembering the part in Andor when the empire sent a bunch of rent a cop level security dumbasses into Ghorman to help provoke a riot
Yep. They’ll destroy anyone’s life if it benefits them to. Same thing with their conspiracy theories that have wrecked peoples’ lives. Nobody is safe from it
He’s on vacation *again*? It’s every day with this guy
Find your friends. Hug your kids. Choose your fight.
This is so fucking shameful that we as a country would do this to people like him after her risked his life helping us
lol. It’s like yall want to keep losing or something as long as you can blame people in other states
If you’re going to hang Trump winning NC over every single voter in the state and say we get what we deserve then you must also do that for yourself for living in the US. Or we could just stop doing that altogether and work together, and especially appreciate progressive activists in red areas 🤷♂️
action league NOW
Didn’t the country at large also vote for Trump? This stupid logic doesn’t really hold up to scrutiny
Chuck Edwards is spending his vacation time supposedly working in the district. But he sure as hell doesn’t want to actually hear about his vote on this
I made a "Paul Blart, ICE cop" joke when this all began, but I think we're actually there now.
I would guess it’s a combination of a car backfiring and some ethnic minority legitimately buying jewelry at a store. Or maybe there was a film shooting or something. Regardless, I’ll add him to my prayer list
When Bezos is calling it a Putin win you know it is bad
JD Vance is on vacation *again*? Is it vacation if you’re constantly doing it?
I always wondered how that plaza got its name
Gonna take the dumbest, most obviously self-serving quote directly from the very conflicted subject, transcribe it verbatim, credit it, and call it “analysis”
Found the home base of criminals in D.C.
Some (maybe most?) now can effectively act as a fancy calculator though. You can ask gpt, for example, to run a calculation through python and it will find the answer that way, or it automatically will for complex problems, or ones involving multiple calculations
Would this mean undoing the disastrous creation of the Department of Homeland Security? That would at least be good
That’s roughly the distance from Raleigh to the the Tennessee state line on interstate 40, which is wild
This is so sad
Biden looks like he was mixed with Joe Lieberman. Trump looks like the love child of Dean Smith and the Penguin
Can’t wait to order my “LALL MEANS ALL” pride stickers
This is something I’ve found with gpt4 .. it makes an obvious mistake and asking something simple like “you sure about that?” will almost always cause it to correct the mistake. I’m not an AI guru but it seems like it could do this step on its own if programmed to 🤷♂️
Fuck off dude. Jesus
Is gpt 5 supposed to be an improvement? I really don’t get what is changing.
This is so fucked up
Inconsistency is indeed the problem. I asked gpt 4o the same question and got a different response
I had a fun moment where my standard paid ChatGPT 4o didn’t even know that ChatGPT 5 exists and was just released. chatgpt.com/share/68956d...
Imagine how good a noir murder mystery series set in Siciway starring Gillian Anderson would be
That’s one area where it’s improved a lot. Not necessarily for maps though. Like it can’t put the right word in the right place often but word generation in images in general is noticeably improved
It’s at least relatable. Nobody not from New England wants to fuck with remembering which is Vermont and which is New Hampshire if we are all being honest
4o fucked it up too but didn’t double down like 5 is doing
Major league teams used to do this back in the day .. play farm league towns on their way home from spring training. One of the claims to fame of my local single A park is that Babe Ruth homered there in such a game
Can you not read?
Senator John Fetterman completely changed from candidate John Fetterman. That is the regrettable thing
lol what?
The sandwich I made my daughter for lunch today - natural single ingredient peanut butter on local sourdough bread - is “ultra processed” per the nova classification. It’s dumb and basically useless as a classification system
Sandwiches are the number one source of “ultra processed food” in the report
Exactly. It’s such a nonsense classification. Every news story about this shows pictures of cracker or chip aisles even thought the number one source of “ultra processed food” calories are sandwiches per the report
Let’s all call him and demand he take concrete steps as HELP committee chairman to hold RFK jr accountable, and hold himself to the commitments he made the country when he gave his vote away to RFK jr (202) 224-5824
A new #AVLWatchdog story on our loss of tree canopy during #Helene, and the larger missing piece of our Urban Forestry committee and Tree City designation. avlwatchdog.org/ashevilles-u... #Forestry #Trees #Planning
She’s a literal Nazi so yeah there’s nothing subtle about any of this
Thank you! He’s basically a steak and shake spokesperson. What the fuck are we doing here
Are these things able to be completely siloed though? Haven’t the potential uses for things like cancer essentially been borne out of urgent vaccine research?
Can multiple dolphs?
Bill Cassidy has failed the country and should resign as a senator and forfeit his medical license / any titles he claims as a medical doctor
I keep waiting for him to give a Kramer turkey wave
Not relevant to much of anything but I used to stop at that store like every other day before Helene
Many people are saying Trump would never climb on a 12 pitch like Obama does regularly. Hope that doesn’t get back to him or he’d probably have to try
Dan Walters is a high school dropout. True story
They are so proudly stupid about everything
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
The way he gawks at her when she’s walking away.. what a fucking pig
The one where Donald Trump tells a lechy story about hiring a 17 year old girl with no experience because she was “SO beautiful.” He closes by equating his addiction to beautiful girls with others’ alcoholism. It’s a compulsion! Whattaya gonna do, right?! 🫤
Relatable
And drinking more soda! Maybe that’s why they’re doing this, to push people more toward drinking things other than water
And of course it’s all served on single use disposable shit
Ventriloquism reminds me of visiting Congress .. being around a bunch of dummies who can’t control their mouths. At least the puppets aren’t too bad
just read a post saying 75% of twitter activity is bots but this is the remaining 25% lol
But think of all the free time they’ll have to be productive without having to be bothered with things like “dating”
Maybe I don’t understand what you meant by “establishment”. I assumed that it was meant as a pejorative. Anyway he has been a fighter and doer his whole political career. I don’t ever expect him to roll over for anybody
You’re going to vote for Pete in the Senate race in North Carolina?
My comment was directed more toward the other person who was insisting Cooper is an “establishment Dem” or whatever. Cooper is a fighter and winner. He’s been in the trenches against Pubs for 2 decades and still gets results I’ve yet to see or talk to an other NC Dem who isn’t thrilled he’s running
You keep saying whatever you like, I’ll keep making fun of you for it. I’d invite you to a moral monday protest or to research the poor peoples’ campaign to get a better understanding of the role of Christianity in the southern progressive coalition but I’m afraid it would trigger you to death
You place a high value on trying to curtail what other people say and believe. First cooper praying makes you uncomfortable and now someone responding to your public posts is engaging in a “campaign against” you? You’re saying absurd things. Implying you weren’t referring to cooper is one of them
Now you’re going to pretend that you weren’t talking about Roy Cooper? Not to make you uncomfortable, but Jesus Christ dude.
He’s won 6 statewide races, all since 2000 and in presidential cycles. Republicans won the presidential vote in the state in 5 of those. It’s not all about party. He’s a trusted and popular brand in the state
It’s a sign of voter enthusiasm, especially when the majority is coming from small donors
People in NC like Roy Cooper and have chosen him over a Republican 5 times in statewide races. He’s a fantastic candidate. You would prefer another MAGA Republican? Why?
I’m begging people to take like 30 seconds to see his record as governor before making up your mind about him based on, well I don’t know what. The money is mostly from small donors, because people who actually care enough to know about him know that he’s a proven winner and fighter
You can tell the St Paul player really has gotten some healthy doses of that slightly more southern sunshine than the Minneapolis dude
And you’re mad at Roy Cooper? Any other politicians or just him?
Going into it pigeon-holing the entire state and its people as “backwards” will surely be the way to go about it. Thanks for your important contributions. Now fuck off.
I am very familiar actually, but not really sure what the 3/5 compromise has to do with Roy Cooper or the state Dem party in 2025. You say NC was anti constitution. The constitution as written was engineered to solidify white power. Just FYI.
lol ok. Roy Cooper expanded Medicaid for over half a million people but who cares about that? Lets just cede that senate seat to a MAGA numbskull and hope that citizens united magically overturns itself 🤙😂
If you want to change those things you better support Dems winning back power. If he doesn’t raise money he will lose and a trumper will win.
*western NC*
I live in NC and have not heard a single person upset with his actions and leadership in the wake of the storm Do you live here too?
NC held out in large part for the Bill of Rights as did some other states. Odd to argue that made NC inherently anti-constitution, and especially bizarre to say it made the state “anti-freedom”. Have you read the Bill of Rights?
Setting records for single day donations, majority small donations from individuals, in a statewide race is a good indication of enthusiasm. That’s the story more than the actual affect of the money going forward
Assuming your phone is on 2.4GHz and the laptop is on 5GHz? Can you try and connect the phone to the 5GHz and see if it’s still slow?
Im glad people entertained your question in good faith. Because you declared that this would be the end of the party and said pretty absolutely “no boomers” I just don’t get it. It’s like people are addicted to losing to Republicans or something
So if we don’t try to push an unknown candidate rather than Roy Cooper, the national electorate whose tired of old white guys will continue to support Trump / maga because of their diversity? Am I understanding right?
This is stupid to be honest. If it was a wave election repudiating Biden and Democrats then it isn’t a 50/50 chance for any county to flip blue. The premise isn’t “being generous” to anyone but Democrats
Here’s what you said your entire point was. “Like I said, you trust self-declared Christians, great. Many don’t. That’s my entire statement.”
What’s funny? If we’re reducing public figures and peoples’ trust in them to their religion, then surely you would have rejected MLK In case you’re curious, I don’t trust Roy Cooper because he’s a Christian. I trust him because he’s spent decades fighting for the things I believe in, and winning
Did it auto-correct the results to something incorrect only to point out that it’s not correct? Making sure I understand it properly
It’s the clearest example of him promoting secular policy vs overtly Christian conservative government. If you’re going to dismiss any Christian out of hand without even considering their decades of policy making, that’s a choice. I’m just glad you weren’t around during MLK’s day
