Seth Meyers: How do you address concerns about your age?

🔥President #Biden: First, you have to look at the other guy. He’s about as old as me but he can't even remember his wife's name. It's also about how old your ideas are. He wants to take us back 60 years. It's about the future

@GottaLaff @bigfishrunning @orionkidder You have the system where your vote can be wasted. In Oz we have preferential voting. You chose down the line. So a vote for 3rd party could be 1 and then a vote Biden can be 2 and so on. Your vote isn't wasted.
So, sorry Woodrow. You vote 1 3rd Party your vote won't count but it does mean the guy next to you who voted Trump will count. His vote basically has more power then you.

Yanis Varoufakis was a fascinating person to watch while he tried to sort out the Greek mess.

He is right is a scandal. Also funding private schools.

We tax people to fund our society needs and successive major parties have been feeding it back to the rich.

Probably my first computer game of any substance. Used to watch my brothers play. Best thing about it was watching others play was almost as good as playing it yourself.

After Doom I never looked back.

At the beginning of this year PS5 re-released 2 and I enjoyed it sooooo much. I forgot how good it was.

America’s avoidance of paying a fair wage and using tipping as some sort of economic balancing act is the worst part of what makes America America.

I’ve heard stories where hairdressers have had to pray with customers just so they can get a tip. The blackmail is horrendous.

A civil war is being run in America. Jewish people against Jewish people. One condemning what Israel is doing and the other condemning them for condemning Israel.

My academic thought: One of them justifies what Jonathan Glazer said.

Fining Trump $10k for violating the gag order is a joke. Might as well be $1. Toss him in Rikers for a week. He claims he wants to go. Let’s test that theory.

You think he’s sleepy and cranky now?

samhkennedy,
@samhkennedy@aus.social avatar

@davidtoddmccarty My feeling is that I don't care what the punishment is but that it should be consistent. He should automatically be fined $1K for every breach and then the only thing they should argue in court is whether he should get 30 days or not. Arguing semantics with Trump is like arguing with my ASD kid. A waste of time.
