I'm sure that local elections and ballot measures will be given the same level of scrutiny as the votes for federal elections.

State senate, state Supreme Court, various judges, school boards, etc. They'll all be treated fairly and closely monitored and verified for accuracy.

After the rousing success of their military action in Ukraine which was predicted to be concluded in a matter of weeks, more than 2 and a half years ago, I don't see why they wouldn't be eager to fight multiple opponents on multiple fronts. How could that possibly go wrong for them?

Robinson, the controversial candidate with former President Donald Trump's backing

Robinson accused Martin Luther King, Jr. of being a "communist," called pop star Beyoncé a "devil worshipper" said he missed the days when women could not vote, quoted Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and referred to gay people as maggots.

I wish I was still shocked and surprised by this type of reveal.

Or "PutErUpWhere"

My sister-in-law was diagnosed a couple of years ago. It has only improved the quality of her life by allowing her to work with her doctor on a treatment plan that has mitigated the health issues she used to struggle with.

She is currently looking at going for a PhD in the field of her chosen career.

For the curious the other endorsement they made was for Joe Biden in 2020.

I am so confused.

George Will

Who? Has he played a significant role in past elections and I've never noticed?

and baseball fan

Why? Why is this part of this story? It makes me want to care even less. Is that the point?

What is the "I'm being sarcastic" emoji?

Are you advocating tags for all inflections of verbal speach or just sarcasm?

All it took was for someone to ask.

Correction, it takes people listening, which I doubt anybody involved in Project 2025 intends to do. At least not to women.

But they are okay with him being a vile extremist troll?

I left Private Internet Access (PIA) for Proton VPN after the Kape acquisition years ago. Still happy with my decision and I recommend Proton VPN to anybody in the market for personal VPN services.

Relevant Ferris Bueller Wisdom

I suspect that this may be partially a result of a recent post of mine that some may considered to be in bad taste. So this response is likely to be a bit biased.

For what it is worth, I considered tagging mine as NSFW but ultimately decided it was not necessary. I thought the image was very clearly a staged representation of drug use. Similar to how the Eric Andre meme is clearly a staged representation of murder. Further, there was no blood nor any indication of physical injury and I liked it to an image of somebody smoking pot or drinking to excess.

Do I think drug use alone require a NSFW tag? No.

Should drug coupled with blood, gore, physical injury, exploitation, etc? Possibly.

I just stated watching The Goes Wrong Show on Amazon. Not sure if I would appreciate more than 1 episode a night, but the first one had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

Reasons people may give a shit:

• The US government is shoveling huge amounts of money towards an individual that dismisses and devalues half of the world's population with an active sexual harassment suit against him.
• Consumers might want to know if they are supporting if they are supporting a mysogynist by using his privately owned social media service or buying energy products / vehicles from a company he heads up as CEO.
• Trump has announced an intention to have this man lead a new "Government Efficiency Commission" and this behavior reflects both on Trump for the sort of people he elevates into positions of power and reflects on Musk as a potential public servant.

Threatening to impregnate a woman is not a good tactic for a man who is currently fighting a sexual harassment.

It's a screen shot from this "flour in hairdryer" prank. Skip to about the 1:30 mark to see where the prank goes wrong.
