And basing the character on their boss

“At press time, Butker’s wife admitted her girdle no longer fit because she was pregnant with Colin Kaepernick’s child“ sent me

Russian military bases are visible on google maps and Ukrainian troops have been training in nato countries since close to the beginning of the war

I mean it’s getting under trumps skin because he isn’t interested in valid criticisms and only understands schoolyard level insults.

It’s working as a message on the general public even more so because Vance and Trump’s messaging has gotten further from the original populism and more focused on an in group or his qult or whatever.

I don’t think “weird” is working in the sense of having any marked impact on racism

I absolutely agree racism should be called out whenever and wherever possible, I’m just not sure calling it weird is the right way to do that.

Also most Americans may not be explicitly racist the way trump and right wingers are but the majority certainly have internal prejudices or biases. Many left leaning people I know have had to put work and intentionality into unlearning patterns of thought or biases

Let’s not overuse weird, a ton of what he does is super weird but this isn’t really; it’s just racist which is pretty in character for him and his base

But America bad so clearly anyone opposed to America good… who cares how racist, authoritarian, or fascist they are

That does make sense (to me at least), now that I’m paying attention I feel like I can focus on individual instruments or vocals and I am still aware of the others in the background but they’re less prevalent. I also have ADHD, not sure about any correlations there

Interesting, I’m not sure if I can hear exactly… it’s very different from a spoken voice. I can sort of play music in my head though if I have a song I want to hear but I’m not sure if it’s “hearing it” or just a kind of ephemeral knowing how it goes.

I have this, and I know a couple people who discovered they have it too. I think it’s likely more common than people expect. Radiolab did a fantastic podcast about it: https://one.npr.org/i/1254201231:1254201233

It gets approved every 4 years, some officials have made reference to what the changes are. The document itself has absolutely not been leaked, it is so classified apparently there are no electronic copies of it

Tell me you didn’t read the article and don’t have any idea what you’re talking about without telling me you didn’t read the article and don’t have any idea what you’re talking about

I’m not entirely sure what you’re trying to say but what I meant is that I agree people on the left are most keenly aware of the dangers of fascism and if you’re surrounded by mostly them (aka in a left leaning echo chamber) then you’ll believe that most people are aware of the threat and take it seriously.

Unfortunately in my experience most people outside of the left (which is most people in this country) don’t share that awareness and therefore do not take the threat as seriously as they should

I very much don’t think your average person understands the threat of fascism or what’s on the line, I feel like that belief comes from being in a left leaning echo chamber.

Obviously anecdotal but the vast majority of people I know are not great about consuming news, are not politically active, and don’t believe this election will have the deep consequences that I do.

About damn time

built by 52 AD

It was the longest tunnel ever built until the inauguration of the Fréjus Rail Tunnel in 1871

Holding the record for 1,819 years is absolutely insane

That’s funny, most New Yorkers I know love Temptee way more than Philadelphia

Very curious what makes a man who said he believes he’d prefer suicide to prison show up in Texas on a private jet and turn himself in

Thanks for taking the time to explain :)

I’ve never heard of using capitalized pronouns, would You mind sharing a bit more about why You use them?

No pressure at all, You obviously don’t have to explain or justify Yourself or Your identity to me or anyone, but I’ve done a bit of googling and the only references I can find are to deities and i genuinely would love to know more
