Interrupt and tell them that isn’t even a bass in that track. It’s a guitar running through a Whammy pedal set to the one octave down preset.

Your view of the news cycle is extremely myopic.

"What does saying something accomplish that not saying something doesn't accomplish"

Uh, well, you get to communicate something specifc rather than having everyone infer what your absence means.

I think this is the optimistic view. I don't want to think about the pessimistic one.

Definitely support this but wish it was at least a thousand percent more broad. We should have the right to repair anything we purchase, and manufacturers (like Apple) shouldn't lock us out of products for doing consumer repairs.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

In response to Iowa's vague & punitive "age appropriate" school materials law in 2023, schools immediately removed over 3,000 books. Of the most-removed:

6 center Black American experiences
7 center experiences of women
2 are dystopian critiques of authoritarianism
1 is antiwar/militarism

How Not to Defeat Authoritarianism Moderation used to help Democrats win, but its advantages now have been greatly exaggerated.

"In an era of intense partisanship, nationalized elections, and low trust in elites and institutions, the electoral benefits of moderation are at best small and inconsistent, at worst counterproductive ... not a reliable path to electoral victory or to meeting the existential threats to democracy."

I hereby declare my intent to petition the government to allow me to file my lobbying declarations in the form of emojis. I am enduring too much hardship from the lack of a "🤣" declaration option.

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Moving forward this will be a line in the sand for me. Vote for funding the jackboots, and I won’t be voting for you.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Squaring his philosophy with his life is literally impossible. Baffling how he compartmentalized the two.

4K Blu Rays exist, and 1080p discs look fine on a display with even passable upscaling.

And now its time for everyone's favorite game, the Supidest Bill of the Day.

Today we have a bill obliterating checks and balances, because courts being able to say a law is unconstitutional is very inconvenient to a legislature that would like to pass unconstitutional laws.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

Those who see that they can make you believe atrocities are okay or even good because of what the law says, have every incentive to make the laws atrocious.

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace praises Iowa ending trans civil rights, uses anti-trans slur in Clive In Iowa, Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., praised the law removing gender identity protections from the Iowa Civil Rights Act and repeated an anti-trans slur.

Can't believe I have to say this but don't use slurs! Why would it be acceptable at any event, let alone a faith-focused event, to use that kind of language? My youth pastor would've kicked my butt outta the youth group real quick for that kind of behavior.
