I think what stuck me about this story was it was the first one I’ve read of this type, when there could be tens of thousands like it.

just because they want it to be. My elderly dad is impulsive as hell, and has been sulking because he’s been stuck at home for 3+ months. He thinks the world is “back to normal”, and he’s missing out on all the consumerist fun. He’s an idiot.

Sharing his regret on Facebook, Thomas Macias was focused on his loved ones.

“Because of my stupidity I put my mom and sisters and my family’s health in jeopardy,” the California truck driver wrote in a post his family shared with The Washington Post. He’d gone out to a party where no one wore masks, his niece Danielle Lopez said, only to learn a…[Read more]

Great Episode. Katie’s “isn’t that weird” is truly cringe-worthy. Never heard of Adolf Reed prior to this, but the interview is excellent.

@babel17 I read that last night. Busted.

Presidential vetting operations have entire teams of investigators, but for the public, when the pick is announced, the most common source for information about the person chosen is Wikipedia. And there, a war has broken out over how to talk about Harris’s career.

At least one highly dedicated Wikipedia user has been scrubbing controversial as…[Read more]

@punxsutawney , its much the same where I live (Ontario, population ~14.5 M). The last few weeks my province has seen new cases between 150-250 per day which actually not bad considering our population, but during this period a huge chuck of new cases came from temporary farm workers who are crowded together in ramshackle living conditions. Farm…[Read more]

@nvwino Perhaps drunk, impulsive and maybe egged on by peer pressure and the ‘vibe’ that’s been around lately, but no-one should should be shot for petty property crime. She is dumb and unfortunate enough to have fallen into the trap that he set all along.

A Neo-Nazi shot a woman in the back three times after she tried to steal a swastika flag he flies outside his home, sheriff’s deputies say.

@earthartist

Although I can’t vote in your tragic/comedic elections, I wouldn’t vote for Biden for the same reasons you mention. I think if anything Trump is creating space for a “real left” consensus and movement to be born. Obviously most Dems want to go back to the blind comfort of the Obama age that never gave a rat’s ass to the anger, n…[Read more]

Another example of how Biden and the DNC will attack far-right Trump *from even further right* in the presidential campaign.

Instead of promoting policies working people actually want (eg universal healthcare, free college) the Dems will complain Trump is not warmongering enough https://t.co/dQs4qbflhp
