Why would MSM not cover Trump’s agenda and the extreme policies he’s planned to enact? Because that’s the United States MSM's oligarch owners want. Don’t be fooled by the gaslighting about horse races and ratings. You could get higher ratings by telling the truth.

@StillIRise1963 The US MSM was very successfully cowed by the deliberate attack on the MSM by conservatives decades ago to portray them as propagandists of the elite liberals, that they have spent decades to prove they were not liberal propagandists by becoming either overt propagandists for the Right (relentlessly publishing rightwing smears about Hillary and Hunter, endlessly devoting space to diner interviews with MAGA, printing Trump lies about crowd size as fact) or frozen in fear and suppressing reporting on actual RW facts that threaten actual liberty (Alito, Trump, ties to White Nationalism, corruption) that they have become actual propagandists for fascists.
Yes, truth has a liberal bias. So to seem unbiased, they deliberately suppress the truth.

I did a complete 360 and nobody noticed.

@Alice
I think when one says "I did a complete 360" they are required to say "Ta da!" And to do jazz hands.

The person sitting next to me on the plane is being SO rude. They won’t even give me enough elbow room to be able to open my can of tuna fish.

@Alice Fall asleep and fart like Trump, they'll wish it was just the fresh canned tuna and boiled eggs before the trip through your colon.

ATTN: If you plan to attend the Mastodon meetup at the Tampa Marriott this weekend and you are a VIP attendee, please ensure you bring your official VIP lanyard or else you risk being denied access to the VIP soup bar.

@Alice

What's this about a meetup at the Tampon Marriott and something something about free Ensure and Soap bars if you have a lanyard with VoIP?

If you're smart enough to know when to use who vs. whom, you should also be smart enough to understand how they/them are used as pronouns.

Oh, that's right. This isn't about intelligence, it's about human decency.

@Alice Language and its rules have evolved and, as a not dead language, it will continue to evolve; When language ceases to adapt it will fade from usefulness, will be abandoned for that which more closely does what the purpose of language is: as a utility to communicate our experiences.

Those folks who fear or are enraged or claim they cannot adapt to gender changes in language use or to the world as it exists are Darwinian volunteers for extinction whether they know it or not.

I am old enough to remember being told a woman could never deliver the mail because it was "postman", and therefore a gendered occupation outside women's capacity.

If you can say "mail carrier" you can figure out they/them. And if you say you can't, you mean you won't.

👍🏻 Via Kyle Griffin:

Rep. Jamie Raskin & Sen. Richard Blumenthal have intro’d legislation to enforce the Constitution's explicit language banning foreign by prohibiting the President, VP, Cabinet officials and Members of Congress from accepting payments from foreign governments without first obtaining the consent of Congress.

Officials would be prohibited from accepting foreign payments without Congressional approval during the entire time in office and for two years after leaving.

@GottaLaff Add the Judicial Branch. Corruption is rampant. The unthinkable is now the norm.

An elderly resident who moved to our rural town asked me if it was true that potato beetles from the farm next door crawled into your ears at night and ate your brain. I said "Only if you're Mrs Potato Head, otherwise your brain is safe."
