Just some guy with 3 kids and not enough hobbies.

Why does the media fall in love with a right wing figure every few years who claims to be reasonable? The same figure will vote to gut support for the poor and to set up trans concentration camps, but, as long as they make a sad face about it, the press will think they are centrist.

The right wing belief that you can do whatever you want and there should never be any consequences is insane. They expect the left to answer for every clown on Fox News who says they love being on the dole and then will support a literal rapist for president. Their brains are broken.

I grew up the city over and I have literally never had that feeling. I could live in Norfolk but I would not go back for any other area.

I feel like this is a big reason people have fewer hobbies. There is a feeling you need to be maximizing your time or working on monetizing your hobby. People always ask what sports my kids play. And they will ask if they plan to play in high school. I say no, they are just enjoying them.

Law schools should also do some soul searching for their part in this debacle. It is only recently that law school professors are speaking up about how lawless SCOTUS is. They treated them like brilliant jurists instead of the obvious political hacks that they are.

My 15 year old son had heard about it and about the “inconsistencies” in the victim’s story. I cannot imagine where this instance would be if the text messages of the men didn’t exist.

From the man who brought you extreme gerrymandering in NC that provides such luminaries to the national stage as Virginia Fox and Madison Cawthorne. All of a sudden he has a problem with extremism in politics? Im sure he is really looking for the guy who did this.

I tell my kids that if you find that something online is making you anxious or angry, it is time to take a break. They probably aren't taking that advice though.

Does Cooper win races in NC because he looks like a politician from NC? I know this year is favorable to democrats, but, he has won a good number of statewide races on split ticket voting in the past.

Good to know!
Screenshot of America.gov answering who won and lost the 2020 presidential election. It states that Joseph R. Biden Jr. won and Donald J. Trump lost, with an Electoral College result of Biden 306 to Trump 232, and links to National Archives and FEC election results.

the cornell case has me thinking about christine blasey ford and how she so bravely testified in 2018 about how future supreme court justice brett kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her. i'm thinking about what i wrote at the time and how nothing has changed:

I think it starts with everyone acknowledging that they can get duped. There is too much arrogance of the too online. We are not as complex as we think we are. Playing to our base instincts can fool anyone.

Saw them at cats cradle. Based on the vibe of the crowd, a good portion may have been there to see the band based on this song. I don’t think they were ready for the rest of their music. I also learned that mosh pits are back. Who knew?

They have drank from the whataboutism fire hose for so long it has turned their brains in to mush. Their media is just dumb outrage about nonsense. Orange man bad is objectively true. Trans communism for everyone is not. Everything is so dumb right now.

American Research Group's poll of 1,100 adults shows Trump at 29% approval, and one away from the cool sex number in disapproval.

Democratic politicians can be convinced to move left. Republican politicians will try to destroy anyone who isn’t like them and won’t be convinced otherwise. Seems obvious it would be better if the Republican won.

In light of this morning’s annoyance over an article about, uh… something about country music… Suing 700 of your patients and getting 81 of them arrested? As an obstetrician? “Try that in a small town!”

I lived close to the Pentagon at the time. Everyone was scared out of their minds. It didn't take long for the knives to come out or anyone who didn't have a war hard-on.

In the before times, politicians weren't able to weaponize fear the way they can now. The GOP went from accusing the Dems of letting murderers out of prison to accusing them of directly sympathizing or helping terrorists. It really broke politics in this country.

He's right, it was a long time ago. I can't remember if I was working on campus here in Princeton signing students into classes or if I was heroically leading the recovery effort at Ground Zero, bravely digging through rubble with my bare hands. Time, am I right?

The Mamdani style of trolling seems to work too. Telling the press that you think it is brave that Trump never told his true 9/11 story until this week. Keep emphasizing how brave he is.

It feels like the only people who make it to the top are the most unscrupulous. Anyone with a conscience stops at some point. It is bad for capitalism when only the dickbags win. It seems like Enron was a bit of a turning point when that company committed all the fraud and one guy went to jail.

There is nobody on the wingnut welfare circuit who bucks orthodoxy. They won't allow it. He knows where his bread is going to be buttered and he would never actually stop a Trump nominee. He makes mouth noises that sound like sanity but he always folds.

What tradition are we ceding? I’m confused. What does it matter what we label it if we get the results we want? If people don’t associate something positive with the label, just change the label.
