The election is over and the right wing machine is trying to get you to not vote in 2024.

You’d be surprised. The loudest talkers in the military are usually right wingers. But a lot of the career military have gotten screwed over by Republicans enough times that they’re coming around. And there’s plenty of black and brown soldiers who will nod along when someone’s bitching about gas prices being Biden’s…

Florida?

Toxic masculinity is when men think they are being brave, noble, and protective, but are really just using violence and creating more of a problem. Charging onto a stage and slapping someone at an awards show, for example. It also removes agency from the person being wronged, which is usually a woman.  There is…

Representative from the toxic masculinity committee has been heard from.

Don’t kink shame.

A lot of times, people look for a “higher authority” to fix it, meaning someone at the state or federal level.

That’s the hope. Either a bunch of Republicans are going to be disenchanted at the results and stay home, or I think Walker will win. The people who voted for the libertarian would be more likely to vote Republican than Democrat. So if they come back to the polls, that will make it harder.

The somewhat scary part of that graphic is that the youngest group is slightly more likely to vote Republican than the next older. I’m hoping that’s just kids that haven’t gotten out into the world yet, and not a result of social media warping their minds. 

THE..............clicks on the ads go click click click...

It’s going to be close. The best we can hope for is they keep putting Walker on TV stumbling through his stump speech. Warnock really should have, and still should, start showing up at Walker’s campaign events asking for the debate that Walker says he’s ready for “any time, any where”.

Depending on how Congress shakes out, we may be able to offer more help to Ukraine, and then offer to not pile on even more help.

Bad books with good ideas. That’s one of the reason so many Philip K. Dick stories are made into movies. Not that they’re bad books, but they aren’t masterpieces of airtight writing. There’s a great seed of a story, lots of great scenes, but plenty of room for someone to put their own interpretation and style on them.

It isn’t “despite” his racist tirade that he got elected. North Carolina has a long way to go.

So many people have been referencing The Handmaid’s Tale that it’s almost starting to lose meaning. But the character of the wife in the story is someone who actually helped create the dystopian society. She ends up surprised that she ends up trapped by it and has become a second class citizen. She is that 58% that…

Wow, that’s some evil genius work. Get people to further your right wing cause, and get them to pay you thousands to do it.

That’s not what “political neutrality” means. Political neutrality would be a platform that moderates out hate, violence, bots, and misinformation, but otherwise allows freedom of speech.

The change in policy seems to be mainly that instead of paying a lot, but having most things bundled up in the price, you’re getting nickel and dimed on everything. They started charging Disney Vacation Club members a parking fee. The parking lots at DVC resorts are almost never full. There’s no need to try to limit…

Nimrata Randhawa thinks she’s white. When they don’t need her any more, the white supremacist dominionists will remind her.

He’s also at an age where he’s got a lot of credits and residuals coming in, and doesn’t want to be a recurring character in a show he was the star in. I’m pretty sure he would show up for a short, “We found Sam Beckett!” arc.
