Think we'll latch onto these types of up-and-comers as they emerge. They can read the room, create consensus with well-crafted home-built messages, and can energize a sleeping base. This is all stuff we want to keep encouraging.

This is why we need to speak up when we see bullshit coming from our families, friends, & coworkers. Don't do it to be a hero, do it because it is right thing to do. Winning Hearts & Minds begins at home.
Lol! Love it 👏👏
Cannot really expect coherence from a "Christian" ideology that also condones billionaires, increases sickness, punishes the poor, and exiles the neighbor. Performative bullshit with the force of law.
Honestly, it would be the most Gen X thing ever to never have a Gen X POTUS
Mr. Beast? That's nightmare fuel right there, sir!
The film won a Hugo in 1976
The 1970s as well. Saw "A Boy and His Dog" way too young.
Like smoking back in the 20th century, but now you're smoking whole trees, animals, and any plastics or other human-made chemicals in the blaze.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
⚒️ 🧪 A magnitude 6 earthquake struck northeastern Afghanistan just before midnight on August 31st. Vulnerable homes built of mud, brick, stone, and wood collapsed; the reported death toll has exceeded 800 people. Why do earthquakes occur here, what happened in this one, and why was it so deadly?
PSA message -
This guy has been around for most of my adult life, shaping so much more than we know.
🤌 Beautiful
Yeah, I really liked him.
Sad news. Really liked him.
And that in itself is a tell - they don't trust the AI.
Exactly this! Finally give people the public option! No reason why an AHS couldn't be *the* cutting edge world-leading healthcare service in the world. We certainly have the money & personnel for it, and now the political will for public healthcare is on the rise. Winning strategy, this.
Lol, yes.
Well observed 👍 The training set for an LLM CyberTrump is not exactly small.
That's hell on their engines if they don't have inlet filters or swirl-tubes. Ukrainian helo drivers have earned any swagger they may have.
The Apollo Moonship (& all of its support personnel, equipment) is probably the greatest group engineering achievement of the previous century.
A Gen-X guy approximately my age outside having a cigarette with an utterly exhausted look in his face and body language. Tired of watching the USA I was born in & love get burned down by a malignant narcissist who may right now be half-dead but we have no way of knowing.
Update - the unaccompanied children are off the planes.
Trump's hospice presidency is probably more dangerous than we are currently aware.
Oh, very much yes. We are working on making sure there are severe consequences for crimes against humanity. Just need to get out from under the current POTUS first & get democracy rebooted in the USA.
Pretty significant tax increase!
it turns out they do in fact make an atproto longform content platform that takes markdown. probably preferred for me for random stuff in the future tbh whtwnd.com/segyges.bsky...
DOGE was never about efficiency.
Please watch the video & listen carefully - ignorance on the left leads to stupid shit just as it does on the right. Study, listen, then speak, in that order.
They burned thru the varsity & junior varsity, now it is just more back-benchers & WWII equipment.
👀‼️ What is even going on anymore?
Something to keep an eye on.
Lol, they would have snagged everything from the Viking lander to the modern wheeled robots by now. Appreciate the effort - it's cute.
Too few know the full magnitude of the reduction in standards of living we are all facing in the coming months & years.
This would make money, no joke. It would also make enemies.
Chappaquiddick, but Teddy Kennedy gets a medal.
Yes.
Fair point, Clinton's neolib victory in 1992 flowed from the DLC. Previously, Dukakis famously tried to wear 'muscular' like a badly fitted suit but ended up looking like a prairie dog in that tank. Clinton didn't need 'muscular' since he had 'cool' & charisma.

Compelling stories of past muscular liberalism made relevant thru a modern lens. FDR is good for this & Truman is the only Democrat (or any other person) who nuked an adversary in wartime.
Watched it happen, can confirm. Newt transformed Reaganism into a false center, causing Democrats to chase after it.
Really appreciate that Judge Sooknanan is holding them accountable. Trump's goon squad is getting Sparkled.
Do not have enough knowledge to speak to your first point, but I think once she was out of Biden's orbit she could have been persuaded. Perhaps wishful thinking on my part.
Remember watching this with my wife and feeling like this was a glimpse of the future.
Harris could have put the brakes on Israel once in office, but it would have still been too late for too many.
Accurate.
🤔
My head-Canon is that the unlabeled buttons are for a multilingual, multispecies space navy where the color & position determines the function, not the label.
Favorite hoodie got worn out faster than my other clothes.
The ongoing Gaza Genocide has been determined to be a genocide by people who study genocide. Obvious of course, but it is good to have more people understand the horror Palestinians are living & dying thru.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
Yes, this exactly!
Yes, racists that did this to another human being.........
*checks 401(k)*
Most excellent!

Yes, it really should. Reckon we answered those questions already in WWII, but white supremacists keep evading the lessons.
Mobilization --> Culture --> Politics --> Mobilization Rinse, repeat, success.
Thank you for giving us Americans context for progressives in the UK. 🙂👍
For real.
White supremacists are not actually supreme in any meaningful way, so they are stuck with believing lower melanin levels are their ticket to relevance.
Anything could be true at this point.
"Critics say the president’s actions blur the nation’s long-standing line against militarizing domestic law enforcement. They warn that using guard members in this way could endanger them and civilians alike — and risk infringing on constitutional rights." THE CRITICS ARE RIGHT.
He is the most dangerous crackpot in America, but you don't have to take my word for it. Here are NINE former directors of the CDC saying the same thing.
Go Judge Sparkle! Save those kids!
Low-key assassination attempt.
Peace petitions generally get ignored by tyrants.
well, we killed tourism and also there are two dozen competing casinos in your pocket now
Both, sorta. Necessary medication screws with my sleeping schedule. So, middle of the night thinking.
Do not disturb: Otterly exhausted
If you know California voters, tell them that if Trump rigs the next election and Republicans keep Congress, they will most certainly not certify the election in 2028 if they don't like the result. No one is saying gerrymandering is good, but unilaterally disarming could be the end of our democracy.
Game of Thrones, US Edition
all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe
The music was the best thing out of that film.
It sucks 😟
It was always such a special treat. Yum.

Really wish they'd knock it off with the nuclear weapons bit. That shit gets real old real fast.

Saw a vintage General Dynamics USS Nautilus poster at an antique shop today and, I mean, wow. If it wasn’t $4700 it would be on my wall now. 😍
Some people dress up as food then expect bears to stay away? Lol.
We can thank Senate Dems for Judge Sparkle!

What we don't know can hurt us, unfortunately. Some things cannot be wiped clean.
California protects her own.
Some ghosts from the past haunt the present, but these ghosts haunt all our futures.
Can't really stop that hate train once it gets moving. 'you have to immediately comply when I tell you do something' is pathologically self-absorbed thinking. Robby needs to relax, maybe dial down the steroids & hormone therapy. Robby is a pawn, sacrificed later by Trump if he sees any advantage
Horrific. 😟
This can be done by Executive Order super easy! Ack! The White House is a clown car of corruption & casual cruelty. Ridiculous.
not to make everything about myself, but I would argue this is true of science & academia. everything is so underfunded and unstable that anyone speaking up risks losing access to projects they've worked on for 10, 15, 20 years. the money people know we want to do good, and they use it against us.
Where is the mainsteam media? Anyone out there? Can you hear me???
We are talking about invading our own country, WTF!? How does this end in your mind? You conquered a city in your own fucking country? Yay? Soldiers were not invited to Chicago, yet they are ordered to go anyway? This is own goal domestic destruction unleashed by the Asshole-In-Chief.

Judge Sparkle Saves The Children is the headline of the year.
Congratulations! I'm probably about that range myself.
Too much, fire risk is absurd, the Hidden Doors to Hidden Passages were begging for attention, gimmicks without novelty after the first time, practical cleaning problems, etc. Fun playground, but where do they live in all that? Where do they keep the cash & passports? Yeah.
