If they were brave themselves they would just call player B "uppity" They could at least have the courage of their own convictions. Be willing to stand up and stand behind their words. You know, like player B

I keep saying this but it needs repeating. These politicians and their financial backers, these corrupt judges are sociopaths. They are the same people who knew that cigarettes were killing millions and denied it. They are the same as the executives who had known for decades that asbestos was killing people, but continued to sell it. That knew airbags would save lives but fought against them. They are no more moral than meth kingpins.

Just because they may be charming and presentable, because they put on the guise of respectability does not mean they won't willingly cause great harm and death. Ted Bundy was charming. Don't let your friends imagine that these people aren't the very same ones that furthered Stalin's gulag system, the cultural revolution, the killing fields, the nazis, and countless murderous military dictatorships around the world. Their morality ends at the tip of their nose

It's funny, if you gave a low level government employee a $40 gift they'd have to report it, and likely could not accept it.
But $4 million, that's cool

Well, the Washington Post's Kathleen Parker has surpassed the NY Times' Maureen Dowd in the vapid commentary competition. See for yourself: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/06/02/alito-flag-marriage-jan-6-recusal/

They'll have to work hard to catch up to some of George Will's recent stuff, however.

(All three are capable of excellent work, but rarely demonstrate that.)

I am sick of every time a Democrat complains about something, regardless of how justified it's called "weaponizing" If Rick Scott molested children and a dem called him out for it WaPo and NYT would run a "think" piece about the Democrats "weaponizing the public's desire to protect children"

This is both good and bad.
The downside is watering down of disability and assistance devices. Think of the hassles that were created for actual service dogs by the idiots with so called "emotional support animals"
But nonetheless, an important idea.

Oh, and here's the time-lapse for yesterday's June Toons cartoon. Took me a second to get warmed up with this one! 😅

#drawing #cartoon #illustration #art #digitalart #procreate #ipadpro #junetoons #timelapse #mastoart #fediart

A time-lapse of a cartoon illustration being created. The illustration is of a boy riding a tricycle toward the viewer. The boy has his tongue sticking out and beads of sweat flying off, and looks like he' struggling. The hot summer sun is hanging over him in the sky, and the words "June Toons!" float in the sky above and behind him. The boy has orange-reddish skin from the sun's shade and sandy blond hair. He is wearing a green t-shirt with a gold star on it, blue shorts, and a lime-green bike helmet and shoes. The tricycle is blue with chrome accents. The words "June Toons!" are a shiny pink with a dark outline.

I am reminded of being a child and looking in the mirror and thinking “This is me. I am me” and wondering if the person in the mirror was me, wondering if I was actually in this body. Wondering what me actually was. I would become disoriented. I would be overwhelmed

I love browsing through the Craigslist and FB marketplace.
People come up with these great descriptions and it's just junk. Or it's a common item and they think it's an antique. Hand saws are a perfect example. 99% of handsaws are absolutely worthless.

The 1997 movie Ulee's Gold was the centerpiece presentation at Sundance that year. It received lot of praise.
The 1999 sequel Ulee's Urine, was widely panned.

I'm trying to find information on Ridwell. I think it's a scam and can't believe that vans driving around picking up tiny amounts of very hard to recycle items is anything but a massive greenwash. Yet my web search (DDG) is almost all rah rah stuff from newspapers and start uptech blogs.

☭ ATTENTION ALL COMMUNISTS! ☭

It is imperative that we take political action now. History shows that without dedicated communist parties, our movement will never go anywhere. We must seize the opportunity while we still can to build our own political institutions. We can't just stay on the internet debating with people forever. We must take real-world action NOW! Below is an instructional guide on how to create your own communist party:

@Radical_EgoCom
I'm not a communist at all. I do recognize the importance of having more organized opposition to the status quo.
This is an excellent list of steps to take. It does involve actual work, and mixes in a lot of practicality. As such, many coffee house revolutionaries and other edgelords will avoid it. Plus it's more fun to complain about how all politicians are the same, and enjoy the rush of self righteousness.

I entered random words/phrases from a load of posts into an online text shuffler, clicked shuffle a couple of times, then picked a random office image from a free image library. And now I'm pretty sure that many of the sponsored posts must be bots. Either that or I should go into business consultancy myself.
