The right has been gloating that the #MeToo era ended, but we're due for a reckoning that's going to make that look like nothing by comparison.

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

I do not mean to single out LeBron James, but it feels completely bizarre to me that an active player is allowed to promote "prediction markets" but would get banned for life for using that service to bet ten dollars on their own team to win a game.

We've got to face the fact that a third of the country doesn't care if Trump is out of his mind as long as he's as racist and sexist as they are. But we also must recognize that the rest of the country deserves to live in a free country, not a dictatorship. Vote against all Republicans.

When they lied about policy or statistics repeatedly or tried to shift blame elsewhere they fooled a lot of gullible people. But when they started lying about things that even the cult knows more about than these out of touch weirdos, that’s when they lost the plot.

Hey MAGA! Tonight Trump just offered Los Angeles and San Diego as nuclear targets to our enemies. "You can take them out. It would be a small price to pay." This is not funny, folks. He's turned into a madman. He offered to sell our military weapons to China last week. 25th Amendment time.
