Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 8hWell, the HAD Kum & Go, but it had to go and change its name. So now they have nothing. 000
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 8hBut $1 per stick is about what it costs. Maybe more like $1.50. Cheap is relative, but you aren’t gonna get it for cheaper than that at most places. 000
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 8hIdk where Ingraham’s shopping, but it’s not where I shop. (She probably thought he said it’s a buck for a package of butter. Which makes more sense since butter isn’t sold by the stick. But it’s definitely not $4/stick.) 010
Reposted by LauraDavid Roberts @volts.wtf · 03/10/2026You can't get anyone in political media to say it plainly, but GOP strategy for several decades now has been built around the fact that its core goals/policies are *wildly unpopular*. Everything depends on a) polluting the information environment, b) cementing unfair structural advantages, & c) $$$. 341616444
Reposted by LauraMichael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The problem has never really been that conservative voters are reluctant to criticize Trump. The problem is a relentless right-wing media apparatus that tells them Democrats are worse. 16949139

Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Right? There are plenty of other tech companies to work for. Also plenty of non-tech companies that need tech people. 021
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I agree with you that people were citing high prices where the real issue was they’d lost their income. 020
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Where I lived gas was over $4/gallon, which was much higher than it had been like a year earlier and everybody was complaining about it. It doesn’t seem high compared to now, but it was. And yeah, overall prices weren’t that high, but I didn’t say they were. 010
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Yeah, the point of pushing for vouchers is to send public funding to private Christian schools. 030
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Gas prices were high in 2008. Plus a lot of people lost their jobs, which makes a lot more things unaffordable, so maybe that’s part of it. 110
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 18/09/2026lol nope. Most didn’t even have cameras. The Nokia brick was so popular. 000
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 13/09/2026lol. So you’re saying we’re screwed either way? You’re arguing for people to just not vote. Must be working in a troll farm 120
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It was partly those people, but even Jon Stewart has talked about the supposed unity on the immediate aftermath (like the few weeks after). 020
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I disagree. In the past 25 years, I’ve seen plenty of people who were full-blown adults talk about “unity” after 9/11. The thing is, it probably felt that way for those people, who were mostly white and weren’t going to get beat up walking down the street. It was never broadly true though. 141
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Trump Jr doesn’t have the charisma Trump Sr has. The Trump cult isn’t transferable. 000
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 08/09/2026There are plenty of workplaces that do the thing that Disney is about to do. I don’t agree with it, but this isn’t some new evil thing Disney invented. 121

Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Yeah, DC’s process was like Maryland’s pre-pandemic, but now it’s what you said. Everyone gets a ballot mailed to them, but you can vote in person no problem anyway. 000
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 25/08/2026We have ballot drop boxes in DC, so I’m gonna keep doing that since it’s very convenient for me. But also it’s not like DC has any federal elections in midterms. 000
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 24/08/2026They probably do think it’s a blank check, sadly. The conservative anti-intellectual propaganda is strong 000
Laura @whynot1.bsky.social · 24/08/2026But I can actually do want someone who was hired to research Medieval English literature but was instead studying critical race theory to get fired. Because it makes no sense for the person in the medieval literature role to instead study CRT. 170
