Got a really cool gift delivered to our office for the CEO from a vendor we use. The company that sent it used AI to generate a picture of her, and like, it's not even close. Ruins the entire thing. lol

I genuinely need a deep, investigative reporting piece on what the fuck is going on with conservatives and their plastic surgery choices.

I don't care, Corinne, about whatever condescending shit wanna type out If you'd like to not be a dick and go "hey, I was there, let me share some first hand experience" so I can go "wow! Thank you for letting me know" so I can update my knowledge, happy to hear it Otherwise, stfu. It's exhausting

I don't care if they'd be in favor in some hypothetical alternative. They are actually, right now, smart enough to realize it's a loser position to start adopting stances that align with key attacks from the opposition party! If they get it, so should everyone else!

Which is a credit to her - she could have simply not done that and let someone else do it. There's no obligation for an AG to be involved in something like that directly. But that's the gist of it.

cleverhandles.bsky.social @cleverhandles.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

No - she was already AG by the time the case was filed for litigation around 2014 or so. She was legally obliged - short of resigning - to defend the CA BOP policy. The state lost Norsworthy v. Beard in 2015 and Harris then took lead on instituting policy changes to BOP rules around trans inmates.

Being trans is fun because on one hand it gives you the will to live but on the other it means your brother invites and pays for the entire family (except for you) to go to Disney with his kids for the first time because "it would be too uncomfortable for them."

Trans issues and politics around it, by almost any polling, aren't even near the top 10 of concerns among voters. Voters don't even want to hear about it. No one who hears anti trans positions and stakes their vote on that is going to vote a Dem. It's a loser stance. www.msn.com/en-us/news/o...

And no, I don't think they actually weighed it, because if they did, we'd have much different campaign messaging. There is a chasm of space even between taking the anti-trans position as your own and just calling the GOP god damn obsessive weirdos without even getting to affirmative support.

cleverhandles.bsky.social @cleverhandles.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

They're doing it because they're weak, ineffective campaigners. I don't know if you've noticed a trend for the last, I don't know, 20 years since Obama termed out, but Democrats are awful at messaging and campaigning and most of their successes have been backlash waves to the failures of the GOP.

cleverhandles.bsky.social @cleverhandles.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It doesn't matter "how much better" any one candidate is when they have absolutely zero ability to frame their own positions and just endlessly react to the GOP. It makes the candidate look weak, it undermines base enthusiasm, and it doesn't even net votes from the other party.

cleverhandles.bsky.social @cleverhandles.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The thing that "allows republicans to win" is being so poorly equipped that you look at the oppositions key attack ad against your party and go "wow yea ok they have a point here." Even if a Dem hated trans people, conceding THE CENTERPIECE ISSUE OF THE OPPOSITION is what makes Dems lose.

cleverhandles.bsky.social @cleverhandles.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Throwing trans people under the bus like it won't continue to undermine broader LGBT rights, reproductive rights and bodily autonomy, and broader rights of all women everywhere is also a choice. It's a fucking stupid one, that wins you zero votes and support from the Dem base, but still a choice.

"That's not what he said, this is what he actually meant" is a straight line to "I didn't vote for this," and a bunch of jackasses are doing it again. He said what he said. Stop imagining what you wanted him to mean.

Remember whe Tillis encouraged the woman Hegseth sexually assaulted to come forward with her claims and that he would then use that as a basis to tank his nomination and then was the deciding vote in favor anyway? Member?

Also cannot express enough just how fun it is to try and relax watching sports with friends, and then an ad comes on that implies your a pedophile, a danger to kids, that if politicians dare support you they're somehow wrong. Definitely lightens the party vibes.

I see you don't have a passkey. Would you like a passkey that goes to the same 2FA device you just used to get through the first layer of 2FA? Please make a passkey.

I never, once, said otherwise. I'm blocking you now because you appear to have a compulsion to reply to things no one said, and you're just going to keep going on here. Enjoy your day.

This entire thread is about whether or not people, specifically media and leading Democrats, acknowledged, reported, or otherwise talked about what Trump's policies would mean in practice, and I commented that it's amazing how people just ignored that.

2) You can disagree with her specific policy positions, but I'm not playing this game where "we didn't know, no one said anything." You don't have to like Harris' policy to acknowledge that the practical application of Trump's policies were reported.

1) Not offering kicking doors in to drag people kicking and screaming into the streets in a mass deportation campaign that has killed at least 2 people in the streets and more in incarceration is better.

cleverhandles.bsky.social @cleverhandles.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Yes but that doesn't explain people who opposed Trump just outright ignoring things like this. There was active reporting on what mass deportations meant. What it would require. Harris explicitly called it out on stage on camera multiple times. And here we are.

I wonder if there's any specific value in a stolen passport that would make this a bad idea to highlight it. hmmm....

It will forever be a mystery to me how Trump/his team could be so explicitly clear about what they wanted to do, and even people who ostensibly opposed him just ignored it. Like this is the most gaslighting I've ever experienced. Ever. The 2024 election and what did and did not happen.

Like if you wanted to argue that it was a legitimate problem that media outlets never pressed Trump directly on how this would happen, that's an entirely different discussion. But people actively talked about it. Harris specifically called it out. Somehow everyone just shrugged.

Just walking into my living room after work on my home office so evening to have 3 corgis burst into wiggles and all trying to push their way into my lap is the best way to end a day.

less of an issue these days but there are still a lot of people who think it's unprofessional and have decision making authority in whether someone gets a job. To the point that I would say not to bring a beverage (OK to take offered ones!) because at best it's nothing, at worst it hurts your shot.

Even if you didn't want to help, how the fuck do you not have a counter message ready?! It's been two years! It's not like this is a new thing that popped up last night! Like fuck me man. What a bunch of incompetent morons who can't even just call the GOP weird and pivot back to housing.

It's genuinely amazing that, after 2 relentless years of GOP campaigning on this and a decade of it being made a cultural war issue, Dem candidates *still* can't figure it out and default to being a sputtering mess or just agreeing and giving the GOP massive messaging wins.

The WTC is a building complex, not a single building. Original complex with the twin towers had WTC 1 through 7. WTC 1, 2 (twin towers) and 7 collapses on 9/11, and the current complex houses WTC 1 (Freedom tower), 2 under construction, WTC 3, 4, 6 and WTC 7 (built in 02). WTC 5 is being proposed.

I feel personally attacked that the majority of shoe brands cut off production in women's sizes at 11 and I'm stuck at 11.5. And then if they do have like, 11 or by some miracle, 12, the color/style options drop from like 20 to 2 with black and white only.
