I think it’s good to hold a mirror to them, make them hear themselves say that nonsense. And maybe you’ll lose some friends along the way. I have and I can say in hindsight (always 20/20 I know) those I lost because I spoke up about shit like this weren’t true friends.

I’ve never had so much trouble trying to spend $500 in my life. 

Anecdotally here 2 out of the like 10 of my friend group are able to get one.  And that includes trying to buy those bullshit gamestop bundles. 

Was watching The ReidOut yesterday and Harriot broke it down pretty succinctly: In Minneapolis cops used chokeholds 370 times in the last 3 years. 60% of those were used on black people. Black folks make up only 18% of Minneapolis population.

Best piece of advice my mom gave me was “you can always take more, but you can’t take less”.

The former mayor of San Diego Kevin Faulconer is also running on a platform of Newsom mishandled COVID which is rich because while he was mayor San Diego had a really bad Hep A outbreak within the unhoused community.  

Right but the dudebrah/Dr. Lizardo is is the fake account usernames or display names, not sure exactly) are exactly the same as the real ones. No _ or L1zardo, or dudebr@ah, they’re exactly the same.

The show is so great because, and I’m using all caps here on purpose : IT’S EPISODES ARE ONLY 30 MINUTES LONG.

I’m not the most tech literate but is it difficult for a website like this to make it so usernames can’t get copied?  That seems like an easy fix.  dudebrah and dr. lizzardo are 2 easy recent examples of people pretending to be other people and posting garbage. 

I didn’t suggest the people in the video were right-wing nutjobs. But the source of any “evidence” matters. The user who posted it has clear leanings and the title alone should have told you that. I watched the video. Main dude said he didn’t know if the lady was telling the truth or not AND at the end of the video…

It took me 2 seconds to click on the profile of the person who posted this video. Here are some titles of other videos this dude has posted:

Wife watches it.  Danny Trejo praised Jenny as some advocate for Autism.  Straight garbage.

My wife watches it.  Danny Trejo praised Jenny McCarthy as an advocate for Autism.  She’s trash and spreads dangerous anti-vaxx nonsense. 

GEOSTORM!!!!!

I don’t know West Virginia politics well but it seems like they won’t elect a progressive. I support progressive ideas and even voted for Bernie in 2016 and Warren 2020 in the CA primaries. But I also understand CA is a lot different than say West Virginia.  Maybe WI, PA or Sinema’s seat in AZ have better odds to flip…

Sorry I meant less than zero chance a left primary challenger beats him.

Saw this on another article here but what Manchin is doing is a win win for his constituents and will help him get re-elected in 2024: His constituents want/need Covid relief but also want him to vote no to stick it to the libs. Now that it passed they get exactly that. He can say he “fought back against the…

Manchin won his last primary (2018) by like 40 points. He’s the only dem in the state. He also isn’t up for re-election until 2024. There’s a less than zero chance he gets primaried from the left. And even if a progressive were to somehow beat him they’d get killed in the general election. Then we get McConnell back…

Joe fucking Manchin is the reason. He’s singlehandedly holding this up by talking about lowering the income threshold and $11 vs $15 min wage. Weird that West Virginia and CA/NY value different things.  

Sinema and Manchin have Ds by their names but aren’t really Dems. Also Manchin said he doesn’t support $15 min wage so having the majority isn’t actually happening here.
