If Dems keep the Senate, it should be a four judges confirmed a day for two more years. Even Manchin has been a reliable vote for judges.

There is no liberal media bias. The media bias is firmly to the right. They are allowed to control the narrative. I did not believe the “red wave” predictions. Anxiety about the economy has always been present and will always be the leading issue in polls whether the GOP or Dems are in power. This was the first time…

Yes! I’m 35 and have had a stroke (though no one can really tell me exactly when). I may sometimes forget a name, but so far I’ve been able to remember to be a decent fucking human being. I also don’t lie for personal gain, mislead people with crazy conspiracy theories, or think that 6 week old embryos look like kids…

The truth is that even if--and this was not the case--Fetterman had sustained permanent cognitive damage from his stroke, that wouldn’t have necessarily made him unfit for Senate. Most of them don’t seem like there’s a whole lot going on up there.

Hanlon’s razor: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

You’re giving him too much credit. The simpler and far more likely explanation is that he’s just an idiot.

There are valid reasons to call out Oprah in regards to Dr. Oz, but they’re for bringing him to national prominence in the first place and giving him an unquestioning platform to shill his snake oil, not for endorsing Fetterman over him.

You can be smart and still be an out of touch, arrogant, narcissistic asshole.

This unfolding kerfuffle has taught me one thing, overall: WAY too many of us have become WAY too comfortable with being WAY too excruciatingly weird.

It’s a lot less enjoyable when you know a lot of artists and small developers who use it as their primary means of reaching their audience, and all of them are facing having the rug pulled out from under them.

Bo surprise either. The venn diagram between “libertarian free speech fetishist” and “first person to call the cops over someone making fun of them ” is a circle.

It’s not freedom of speech they want, it’s freedom from response.

He wants people to find him funny/likeable so badly. I feel like if he had 2-3 (more?) real friends this wouldn’t have happened.

I love how Musk came to Twitter literally carrying a kitchen sink with a dumb shit-eating grin on his face, making it a big spectacle like he expected people to be excited and think he was hilarious, when every single person in that building knew his first act was going to be to fire at least half the company.

I think the problem is that Musk isn’t nearly as smart as he thinks he is. He’s an incredible hype man and gets people to follow him when he does something. This however seems to be a case of where he bit off more than he could chew. I mean why would he have spent months trying to get out of the deal if this was the…

Every plan of his involves telling people to get whatever dumb idea that comes into his head to work, and then insult everyone else when it doesn’t pan out

Why is that so hard to believe? He NEVER has a plan! What was his plan to put us on Mars? To get an actual functioning Hyperloop in place? To have androids? To have self driving cars ready by now? To build a personal submersible for the purposes of rescuing those Thai kids? He’s a professional charlatan who has people…

He was over-confident when he committed to buying Twitter and tried to bitch out of it. Now he’s stuck with it and has no idea what the fuck he is doing. Twitter was never going to be profitable to begin with, all these social media sites come with an expiration date. Now he’s demanding his new workforce squeeze blood…

I guess I’m having a hard time believing that Musk is completely doing all this with zero thought-out plan or strategy, but there just can’t be a scenario where gutting a company puts it on a path to growth — especially a tech company considering the institutional knowledge of the developers (yes I’ve heard of…
