He used his platform to claim that murdered children were fake and that the parents were “crisis actors”. He so roiled his audience with blatantly false inflammatory bullshit that they began harassing the parents and sending them death threats, all for the crime of having their kindergartens shot to death in America. They absolutely suffered and the blame for their harassment lies entirely with that fucking sociopath (who has since admitted that yes, the massacre was real).

You can’t knock that boy over with a pail of water!

Might make sense to post these a few hours ahead of time to give people a chance to see it…

Fuck that. Did the Sandy Hook parents deserve to have their murdered children used as fodder for Jones’s conspiracy bullshit?

Reminds me of this really interesting video on the Mississippi Delta Chinese community – folks who are entirely of Chinese descent but who have thick Southern drawls and names like Gilroy, and still feel like outsiders despite living there their whole lives.

I laughed my ass off at the pathetic, baseless attempts to dispute the 2020 election, but never questioned their legal right to do so (which they failed miserably at). If suspicious Harris supporters believe they have convincing evidence of manipulation, then let their claims be examined and proven or disproven by a recount or in a court of law. Call it copium, but I’d rather check these claims out and be disappointed than pre-emptively assume they’re bullshit.

Harris didn’t move right! She supported expanding the child tax credit, legalizing marijuana, codifying Roe, etc.

She did campaign with Cheney, but didn’t endorse her or promise her a position of power or adopt any of her policy preferences. The whole point was to signal “Trump is so dangerous that even the most conservative leaders are setting aside their disagreements to support me.”

He wasted that for 2 years

Willful ignorance of everything passed in 2021-22 (and despite incredibly narrow margins) does not mean it didn’t happen.

Ralston’s term for Democrats banking early vote in Clark County (Las Vegas). It gives them a buffer to withstand more heavily-Republican turnout on Election Day. It flipped this year, though, with Republicans building their own firewall via high early vote in the rural counties.

Left side is Ralston’s early vote analysis through October, right side is his final prediction from earlier today.

Allan “13 Keys” Lichtman, who has predicted a Harris victory.

On the other hand, many of the people that voted for Bernie only voted for him because they hated Clinton and/or the wider Dem establishment, not because they supported his policies.

I voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary. In hindsight, I think he would have suffered a political wipeout somewhere between Corbyn '19 and McGovern '72. There are shit-tons of oppo that Clinton (and Biden) never used against him, stuff that supporters can explain away in theory but sounds absolutely toxic to swing voters. Combine that with Trump getting the full backing of his right-wing base, corporate America, and a not-insignificant chunk of the more craven Democrats, and it would have been a total disaster.

While anything that gets people off Twitter is good, I’m sorely unimpressed by those artists who “had to” to patronize the racist transphobic neo-Nazi hellhole “because my audience is there”… until Musk’s policies happened to offend their own personal interests, by requiring training for their AI. Countless models trained on all public images already exist, jumping ship won’t prevent their work from being scraped elsewhere, and frankly, any one image or even portfolio will contribute virtually nothing to the result, so quitting in protest is largely symbolic. But so many peoples drew the line at that, and not at Musk making “cis” a slur, or protecting child pornographers, or boosting white supremacist supremacy theories. It’s really disappointing to see.

I pictured a smooth red rubber ball about the size of a baseball on my kitchen table. The “person” was more of an invisible force, not explicitly male but definitely not female. That might be male bias, or subtly thinking of myself doing it (combined with playing too many physics engine video games where your disembodied self pushes things around).

All of this was pretty vague though, like I didn’t really imagine the details of the room or the exact path of the ball other than knowing it would roll off and bounce on the floor.

Hard as steel in the field, genteel in the palace!

How is this fucker not in prison for discussing the assassination of two House Democrats?

Halo 3 released closer to the original Sonic the Hedgehog than today.

Just wait till you hear one of Bama’s defensive cheers…
