I write and edit stuff for people trying to save the planet, but I mostly just like the outdoors and music and hanging out with my cats.

I'm a Brit, and until this summer it was the same for us with whatever Tory gargoyle was in charge - but now this is on a whole other level of not wanting him anywhere near my cerebral cortex. And I'm a whole ocean away too. Sheesh, I feel for you.

Anyone with eyes or ears or a brain can see this is total horseshit. Why do they bother saying this kind of stuff? Anyone dumb enough to believe them is convinced already, while the rest of us are just like oh come on now man where's your dignity?

I glanced outside my back door earlier today. I don't think I saw him. Oh well, I'll carry on searching with the same level of care as the NYPD are demonstrating here. (Admittedly, I live in England, but you never know...)

When Hegseth’s nomination falls, that’s going to be three failed cabinet appointees before we even make it to inauguration. So much for a well-oiled machine. New clowns, same circus.

How? I hate everything they stand for, but I still think they - like the Green Party and everyone else - should get representation that reflects the numbers who back them. It seems fair to me.

You do realise that you ignoring everybody here asking why you don't support a ban on this barbaric practice is a) very visible to all of us, and b) pathetic, right? The least you could do is have the courage/courtesy to justify your apparently absurd and cruel position.

Sensible response, I'm pretty much on the same page as you - although I suspect the shops and manufacturers will have no incentive at all to do any of that unless they're legally obliged to - and then we're back into draconian 'ban' type territory. It's complicated, isn't it...?

Not necessarily disagreeing with you on this, but do you take a similar view on processed foods, sugary drinks etc? Personally I quite like the principle, but I don't know where to draw the line, and I'd be interested to know what others think.

I look at the headlines online so I know more or less what's going on, but I'm done with reading the actual pieces for the time being, especially the earnest opinion pieces diagnosing where the Dems went wrong. My mental health is definitely all the better for it.

On an admittedly less serious scale, that's what did for the horrible, odious and utterly awful Conservative government the UK saddled itself with till this summer - they were dangerous, but luckily more useless than dangerous, and ultimately just fucked it all up and slunk off. Grown ups are back.

Must admit I haven't looked at the details, but could a POTUS *literally* shoot someone - or as many people as he liked - on Fifth Avenue and have the police and courts utterly powerless to do anything? Or only for certain crimes? Genuine question for any Bluesky legal eagles out there!
