Really not tracking the Ryan Lizza stuff (accidentally saw that gross "cheeks" comment).

But just a reminder: We spent much of the election last year distracted with these same people -- it wasn't the best use of our time.

Thoroughly enjoying RAVENSCOURT by @samwardsmithwriter.bsky.social - a gripping historical mystery set in Venice, 1880. Sam is a historian herself, and she does an incredible job at "world building." And who wouldn't want to step into Venice in the late 19th century?

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.

This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

Not since Caligula has power so openly merged grandiosity with decay. This is the story of a man stuck in the anal-sadistic phase of control and a party that confused his regression for strength—until the republic itself began to reek of his undoing. open.substack.com/pub/normsmus...

Maybe this is just another price we pay for the privilege of democracy. Every 250 years we get to elect a complete moron.

I detest living in a country that has so many low intelligent stupid people.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this.

You're welcome

Can’t say I’m a fan of the trajectory that our growing understanding of microplastics has taken
Humans inhale as much as 68,000 microplastic particles daily, study finds
Particles are small enough to burrow into lungs, says report, with health impacts ‘more substantial than we realize’

Old school, tried & true unapologetic liberals like myself are tired of settling for less than stellar candidates. We're pragmatic enough to vote for a flawed dem rather than a corrupt & dangerous republican. But look where that has gotten us.. Two terms of a facist psychopath destroying democracy

No one wants to vote for the Democrats because the Democrats don't stand for anything. They're spineless Republican-lite

They need to show that they are an actual opposition party that stands by the people and not corporations

Until then, what good are they?

Here's a fact for you all.

Prior to 2017 there was not a single documented case of any individual travelling by small boats across the English Channel to caim asylum in the UK.

Not ONE.

This current 'boats' crisis has been largely caused by Brexit.

But for some reason NOBODY is saying that.

Everyone says no violence no violence but violence is exactly what’s been fomented against us. Traitors need to die. They reek in all branches of our government. Give them a healthy dose of their own medicine. Either that or dissolve the union.
