Gotta go where the people are. If they truely believe there are republicans that will vote for them because he is that alternative to the Trump they are tired of (an admittedly small amount), this is as good of a place to go to speak to them. The country right now is biased enough that the margins of swing are super small and if this can help attract those people it makes sense for a campaign like Biden who has maintained that there’s a subset of republicans that are non-MAGA and just want to get back to “normal”.
Not everyone who signed up for TS is on the Trump train especially anymore, a lot are, but many aren’t. I know 3 in my family alone that are getting annoyed with the whole MAGA movement but have accounts from before his indictments and have unfollowed the crazy ones they used to follow but still use it as it’s the path of least resistance for their social media.
Look, I know you don’t know me, but you have to believe what I’m about to tell you. Sometime in your future, I get stationed here in Blood Gulch and we meet. And this guy here, he gets promoted to Sergeant of the red army and we spy on them. And they get this new jeep and I’m all like, “There is no way you can pick up chicks in a tank!”

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce...
Humans expanded into space…only to find a universe populated with multiple alien species bent on their destruction. Thus was the Colonial Union formed, to help protect us from a hostile universe. The Colonial Union used the Earth and its excess population for colonists and soldiers. It was a good arrangement…for the Colonial...
The Simpsons did an episode where a monorail salesman tries to sell Springfield on installing a monorail, and there’s a song somewhat evoking the 76 Trombones scene from the musical The Music Man by Meredith Wilson. Mine and other comments are lyrics from that song.
Myfanwy Thomas awakens in a London park surrounded by dead bodies. With her memory gone, she must trust the instructions left by her former in order to survive. She quickly learns that she is a Rook, a high-level operative in a secret agency that protects the world from supernatural threats. But there is a mole inside the...
I really like both sequels, but they can be a bit divisive because they aren’t direct sequels. They do follow chronologically, but Myfanwy is no longer the primary antagonist.
John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife’s grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce-and aliens willing to fight for them are common. The universe, it turns out, is a hostile...
Right to repair has no cannier, more dedicated adversary than Apple, a company whose most innovative work is dreaming up new ways to sneakily sabotage electronics repair while claiming to be a caring environmental steward, a lie that covers up the mountains of e-waste that Apple dooms our descendants to wade through....
I’m torn. While I highly support right to repair, I also support measures that make high-value theft targets like cellphones and catalytic converters worthless or extremely hard to convert to a payout.
“Of course beans count as a vegetable!” I said to my wife. We have this house rule that it’s okay to eat mac and cheese for dinner so long as you add a vegetable. If I may ‘spill the beans’, I’m obsessed with them. Each one is tastier than the last: garbanzo bean, black bean, kidney. The butter bean, which is just...
