I like cycling and US policy/public policy. It's great because there is zero overlap and makes for a very interesting feed. Great to see so many of you move here from Twitter!
Keep Bluesky great.

I've seen the price fluctuate wildly on the Blu-rays but it's definitely worth it if you can find it at a reasonable price.

I would rewatch the prequels before I'd rewatch the sequels, particularly after the Rise of Skywalker.

Yglesias has a very dry sense of humor that most people don't get. Assume many of his posts have a /s after them. Yglesias has just been online long enough that he was posting before people thought it necessary to use /s.

My wife loves these. I tend not to. It often degenerates into every character yelling at every other character.

The first time I saw MST3K on Comedy Central was life changing. I'm glad I've been able to say 'thank you' in person to you, Trace, Bill, Joel, and Josh.

So what you're saying is that everything Trump is doing is no worse than anything Harris would have done. That is, of course, completely nuts.

I answered your question. You just can't handle the truth that voting or not voting equally supported this genocide you claim to hate.
You're the one who claims the two candidates were equal so you're the one claiming not voting made no difference whatsoever.

Since you claim both candidates were equal then voting or not voting for them was going to lead to the same outcome. You supported genocide equally no matter what you did.
What you're really telling us is you think Harris and Trump were overall equal on every other issue, too, and that's nuts.

If both candidates were equal on one issue as you imply, then a rational voter would use every other issue to decide whom to vote for.
Since they didn't vote for either, they believe those two candidates are overall equal on every other issue combined, and that's insane.

I'm not saying they are beyond hope. You are. You're the one saying these voters really did have a preference between the two candidates but irrationally didn't vote on the preference.

If the voters actually thought one candidate was better than the other they would have voted for that better candidate.
Your argument is that, no, these voters really did think one candidate was better they just didn't vote for that candidate. That's an irrational voter.

Equally acceptable and equally unacceptable mean the exact same thing. But you're arguing like a bot, which is really sad, so I'm blocking you now.

It's obviously not a lie. It's a clear statement of their actions. Had they not been indifferent to the winner they would have voted for the candidate they thought was better
The only reason they wouldn't have is if they were irrational and an irrational voter can't be reached so why bother trying?

"My vote doesn't matter" is the words of a loser and a nihilist and no one should listen to what they have to say about elections.
