- My very strong suspicion is that the left/right axis and the fight/don't-fight axis are in the process of unlinking, and that the fight/don't-fight split is emerging as the core struggle in the Democratic Party.

- FLIGHT OF DISCOVERY (2013) Acrylic on Canvas - 16" x 12" The stonework was based on ruins we saw in Wales, near a place called Three Cliffs on the Gower Peninsula. We had spent most of the day walking on the gorgeous beach there and looking for fossils in the rocks nearby. 1/4 #art
- I think this is right but also a good example of how inclinations overwhelm intentions. Bezos wasn't thinking that ten years ago. Musk was fucking around and got stuck. But their inclinations are who they are.
- Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power. They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

- Naomi Wolf is in the Epstein files. She attended a dinner with him in 2011.
- It's taking longer to find a new job when you are laid off. I get so many inquiries from people who have been out of work for over a year.
- Discontinued Food News! This will be especially devastating for those of you, who like me, have the childhood sensory memory of clunking a cylinder of orange slush around in a plastic pitcher of water with a wooden spoon to produce the most underwhelming OJ imaginable, burned into your brain!
- For the sake of accuracy, my family bought the Wegmans brand version, but the spirit of my point remains!
- The iconic, slush-filled tubes of orange juice concentrate, which have been around for 80 years, are being discontinued, the Coca-Cola Company says.
- one thing i have noticed is a lot of folks do not seem to understand the difference between a presidential election and 435+ legislative elections. i have seen any number of people say that you could subvert the outcome this november by targeting “swing states,” which does not make any sense.
-
View full threadthe current margin for control of the House is like two seats.
- as i keep saying, the things to do to secure elections are to volunteer to work the polls or to serve as an observer, & to pressure your *state representatives* to take steps to further secure voting locations and ballots. you should also learn about how election administration works in your area.
