I’ve always believed these are being lined up as options for 2028, rather than 2026. His goal will be to refuse the peaceful transition of power. That doesn’t come until Jan, 2029

Today, my heart is with the Las Vegas and Umpqua communities. No community should have to endure this kind of violence, made even deadlier with the use of assault weapons. In their honor, I remain committed to banning assault weapons and working to #EndGunViolence.

People respond to trauma in various ways - shock, shame, trying to block it out, guilt, etc. Sexual assault is one of the most traumatic experiences anyone can face. Expecting rational judgment in the immediate aftermath of trauma is naive.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

FWIW, AI superintelligence (ASI) is hypothetical AI that surpasses human intelligence across virtually every area, going beyond AGI, which generally means AI with human-level intellectual capabilities. It’s science fiction. And AI is not SI.

Funny how many gun owners fantasize about being the armed hero who saves a woman from a violent attacker. At Cornell, 7 men raped a woman while 50 others on their group chat had the chance to stop it. No gun needed. Just a fucking conscience. So much for the hero fantasy.

The gun industry claims frequent use of guns for self-defense but, when pressed, struggle to show real examples. If “good guys with a gun” were truly preventing violent crimes, the gun lobby and elected officials would be showing examples daily. But we all know its simply false.

I also think they should stop referring to him by name in their news. Refer to him only as “the president”’or “the chief executive” but not by name. If he realizes his named mentions are going down it will drive him nuts.

Great feature by @anamariecox.com on the Texas Senate race. It's a good story to say that James Talarico is using progressive Christian language to ju-jitsu the religious right. But the boring, accurate reality is that Texans are fed up with being governed by Republicans.

Okay so @defector.com has had an odd glitch since the site redesign a couple of weeks back where the wrong photo and headline are often put together on the main page and I was going to ask them about fixing it but this just happened and as far as I'm concerned they have to leave it as is.
Screenshot for a Defector podcast episode with the headline "Consider the Emotional Lives of Scallops" only the accompanying photo is a white gormless stubbled red-headed UK singer of recent notoriety giving a flat smile to the camera while wearing a washed out peach top as beige as he is against a flat background. So, actually, probably a scallop anyway.
