One of the rare instances of the Shock Doctrine leading to a positive outcome.

Any way you can bring some of those critical-thinking skills over here to the US, by chance?

In all sincerity, great comment.

... And Kremlin parrot.

Biden doesn't even know wtf is going on. If he does, the last thing he's doing is trying to salvage his legacy. He's got no fight in him.

He truly fucked us. Not saying Harris would've won necessarily, but having only 3 months to run a campaign against someone who's been running for 8 years is tricky. You can see why given the number of people googling if Biden dropped out...

Brings to mind the whole pagers thing.

This just reminds me. I need to stock up on popcorn.

In an era of absurdity, the jester speaks the truth.

Always has.

I don't know if I personally buy that analogy.

Xitter and Truth Social already exist and thus they already have the market cornered on being a right-wing cesspool of bigotry; from a corporate perspective, there is little point in appealing to an over-saturated market niche. Instead, it is entirely in Bluesky's interest that they don't in order to distinguish themselves. Now will they truly decentralize? I don't know, but it's the best we've got that is gaining momentum for a reason. Beggars can't be choosers.

Some added context: people were duped by a massive amount of propaganda both foreign & domestic into wanting Trump.

This will only worsen as our institutions are further dismantled from within. High chance we are Russia in 4 years.

I wish there were better book trailers. Part of it is we get more picky about our time and know what we do and don't like. But sometimes this leads to a certain prejudice that doesn't let us explore something we otherwise would've stumbled onto.

For me with young kids, work, and generally limited time audiobooks are a compromise that allows me to combine with another activity, like cleaning or running.

Funny I'm seeing this post, though, as I placed aside 2 books that were gifted to me in hopes to read a physical book (but how.)

Fair. Looks like it was 26 million on Youtube alone in the first 24 hours, not counting Apple, Spotify, and others.

No shit! Say it with me:

Conservatives control the media. Conservatives control the narrative. Reality does not reflect what people see.

When overnight the Joe Rogan interview with Trump had over 40 million views, the issue becomes clear.

Bernie may have, but also fuck The Intercept and we dodged a bullet not letting Tulsi Gabbard anywhere near the White House (I mean, until now anyway).

No idea!

Doesn't mean you can't, though!

Say, will you start your own?

It's still decentralized and has marketing far better than Mastodan. With 15 million members and its origin from Dorsey himself, it's going to win.

In before Newsom or Shapiro nominee in 2028. (that is, in the far-fetched scenario we still have real elections).

When a trust fund child with more money than he knows what to do with thinks he's a genius lol.

What you're saying is we should've realized how selfish and uncaring they were (speaking as a white male myself). You're right, but it's fucking sad.

Anyone who abstained on grounds of Harris's position on Gaza in my view have blood on their hands in what will not only assuredly he worse for Palestinians under Trump, but also the ongoing attempted genocide in Ukraine by Putin.

They may as well be Trump voters to me and I want nothing to do with them.
