Tell us you don't know any old people without saying you don't know any old people.

I'm starting to believe that Joe Biden is exactly the president we need right now. Yes, he hesitates in speech sometimes. Yes, he's old. But in most of the world, age is actually respected. And most important to me, he has demonstrated actual character over the years. You can't fake that. Right wing jackoffs hate it when a leader shows character, and watching them make fools of themselves over Biden is an added benefit.

I think he's doing fine.

After iconic actor Lance Reddick died, leaving the central role of Zavala vacant in Destiny 2, there were fears that Bungie would try this, or kill the character off.

Fortunately they hired another excellent actor with a similarly interesting voice, dodging yet another ethical bullet (so they can carry on with addictive reinforcement channelling into microtransactions and subscription-rentier value extraction, but eh whatever).

Most of that is just 'don't be an asshole'. A bit of it is stupid over correction. The rest is a loss of privilege that triggers a sense of entitlement.

Remember that the Blackshirts were famous for their slogan hinting at the ever present disdain and trolling underlaid with violence: "me ne frego", or 'it's nothing to me, your opinion doesn't count' --or 'get fucked' as it was used.

If people don't want to be called fascist, they should stop quacking like one.

Ethnicity, culture, nationality, language are all useful and somewhat neutral distinctions. Race is a bullshit term that only makes sense in the context of historical abuses that it was used to justify, like slavery or disenfranchisement.

So no, that isn't the question, unless you believe that race isn't a bullshit term... and then you should ask, which side am I on, humanists or racists?

Maybe rephrase the question with non-bullshit terms and go from there.

Yes, more energy in a weather system means more: more heat, more moisture, more movement leading to more cold and or arid as the energy concentrates elsewhere. Expect the formerly unexpected, like 49.8C in Canada where a town then immediately burns down.

It's a well-developed fascist strategy of destabilization.

Here's a choice excerpt from "Elon Musk's Machine for Fascism: A Tale of Three Elections" recently published on emptywheel.net:

From trial testimony, regarding hashtag hijacking....

"Itâ(TM)s like if you have a hashtag â" back then like a Hillary Clinton hashtag called âoeIâ(TM)m with her,â then what that would be is I would say, okay, letâ(TM)s take âoeIâ(TM)m with herâ hashtag, because thatâ(TM)s what Hillary Clinton voters are going to be looking at, because thatâ(TM)s their hashtag, and then I would tweet out thousands of â" of tweets of â" well, for example, old videos of Hillary Clinton or Bill Clinton talking about, you know, immigration policy for back in the â(TM)90s where they said: You know, we should shut down borders, kick out people from the USA. Anything that was disparaging of Hillary Clinton would be injected into that â" into those tweets with that hashtag, so that would overflow to her voters and theyâ(TM)d see it and be shocked by it."

"In the 2016 election, this methodology served to take memes directly from the Daily Stormer, launder them through 4Chan, then use Twitter to inject them into mainstream discourse. Thatâ(TM)s the methodology the far right still uses, including Trump when he baits people to make his Truth Social tweets go viral on Twitter."

Trump DID dispute the election. He did it over and over and over in court. And lost in court.

That's when he started breaking the law. He had no obligation to break the law and took no oath swearing to break the law.

Can we also have compulsory voting like Australia?

Naturally the PIN for a bank card should not be kept with the card.

I tattooed mine on a very sensitive part of my body. The only problem is having to explain myself when I walk up to an ATM and drop my pants.

Oh, and it's a 14 digit PIN.

20% of Wyomings power is from wind. 75% is from coal.

And 90% is from right-wing bullshit that the faux "cowboys" eat up because they think it makes them look manly, when it fact, they're some of the biggest welfare queens in the country. Their government ranks #5 in the states most dependent on Federal money, then they brag about not having a state income tax.

Are they also going to investigate why the owner of FTX was the second largest democratic party donor, next to Soros?

Will they also investigate why the CEO of FTX gave $24 million to Republicans?

"Bankman-Fried was among the most significant donors to Democrats during the cycle, distributing more than $40 million through direct contributions and super PACs. Salame gave roughly $24 million to Republicans."

Os Os baby.
