Death God plays the long game.

The Death God always wins.

Actually fewer steps as they wouldn't care about an appeals process.

That was my takeaway too. I can kinda see that one.

The vomit emoji one is particularly egregious though.

I loved him on Mr. Show and was always glad to see him pop up in little roles, but there is a good reason he was typecast.

Has Newsom said he wanted the job?

Again, it's not about a wishlist. I am NOT AGAINST OTHER CANDIDATES.

Just the endless hand-wringing and dropping names of those who don't want the fucking job.

I like Newsom. If he were the candidate, I'd vote for him. But he isn't, at least not yet.

Because not one person has identified that candidate. At all.

And I'm done talking to people who want to treat this as a school yard game. I will continue to block people who cannot debate in good faith.

Panicking about this situation does nothing, and that's mostly what I'm reading. Writing off the government, the process, the country, because Trump is polling well at the moment.

Roe v Wade is this elections spoiler. The country's future takes the back seat to that because of the pearl clutchers who spend all day online worrying but know nothing about politics.

Change candidates now? Is that new candidate on all the ballots? Are they funded? Or is this just a fantasy?

These are discussions that can be had, but they're uncomfortable ones because they ended up grounded in reality and details.

Fair, and I expected that. But it's frustrating as hell sometimes.

So none of them care enough to speak publicly. Got it.

And preferably, name someone who has announced their candidacy.

A list of people you'd like in the job isn't as relevant. I would've accepted almost any of the names people had floated, had any of them publicly shown interest.

But here we are with people often demanding Jon Stewart and Michelle Obama throw their hats in the ring, and that's two people who keep saying they aren't interested.

Edit: the shit people downvote here.

Anyone who uses LOL in a political conversation is not looking for a conversation.

Fuck right off.

Biden knows this government like few others do. If any other Dem candidate were in that office, I'd still want him there consulting during any attempt to overthrow things.

He's sharper than most think. He probably knows the first names of those in charge of almost all levers of power, and probably their spouses and children as well. (Recalling them on the spot, well... let's say I'd probably fail too.)

It's all felt like external pressure to me. Trump's team knows it's hard for him to beat Biden, so it's all about undermining him in any way they can.

He's old, feeble, sundowning, has Parkinson's, has cancer, constantly forgetting things.

And in the debate? He answered every question in detail and got like two details wrong, while his opponent doubled down on comments that have gotten him impeached and in legal trouble.

But no, let's talk about the stuttering man who was a little hoarse, and demand his replacement with nobody. After all, they don't want to push a narrative that defines the replacement candidate, this is all about undermining the opposition.

And if you, reader, think you're in the crowd of amplifying that, fuck you.

And on Community.

Love that skit. "Ocean in the Desert".

If your society has made so many things illegal that your prisons are overflowing, it's time to seriously reconsider your priorities.

If only the US would follow a similar path.

Yup! The Botany of Desire. Good read.

Focuses on how apples, potatoes, tulips, and cannabis have all been vastly successful at being spread by humans because we find them useful.

Yes! You'll see that other parts of the house look dirty and just dust a little, put a few things away, organize...

It's surprisingly effective to have a little robot buddy!

So DEI now just means the job went to a non-white, non-GOP, not-male person.

Convenient.
