All of this sounds like the kind of backstory you’d get for what’s ultimately a very low-key AU fanfic about Sonic and Knuckles working at a coffee shop.

the thing is i just think that it's a bit stupid to argue with terry pratchett, who is dead

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

The SCREEN Act just failed to pass in the Senate Commerce Committee! 🎉 Enormous thanks to the thousands (!!) of you who told your Senators to vote no! Your voice matters and you should feel good that you made a difference. Obviously, the fight isn't over, but this was an important victory.

It’s ya girl! This is Lamia. She’s a normal character with normal motivations and normal levels of repressed emotions.

What works in the Midwest is clearly a moderate CIA operative who will threaten your dog if you stalk her and also a nice Muslim doctor with big arms. Simple.

No. Primary margin does not matter, and isn’t predictive of the general election (Obama-Clinton close, Obama-McCain not; Clinton-Sanders close, Trump-Clinton close). Winning the nomination is what matters. Stop trying to force factional infighting on what’s shaping up to be a diverse popular front.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

The comment is facetious but a lot of people stuck in 2016/2020 are going to be surprised that far from the insurgent firebrand she's often portrayed as, AOC is actually well-liked by the Dem establishment, and is broadly acceptable to almost every faction within the party.

In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Look, electability is kind of a joke in this environment, particularly in a pretty purple state like Michigan This is just everyone projecting about their preferred direction of the national Dem party onto a contest in Michigan

folks this is what Vote Blue No Matter Who actually means we buckle down and beat Mike Rogers in November no matter how this finishes

i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys

that current affairs article is what people are talking about when they say that there's a kind of left wing commentary that's essentially attempting literary analysis on real life

Thanks. Yes, that's what I was trying to say, but took too long to get there. Our politics community is strong, and I'd love for us to expand into new communities. Science and sports have already taken off. Birding, gardening, K-pop, we're open to all (except nazis and jerks).

A lot of people on here remain bitter about the version of Uncommitted they made up in their heads while high profile members of the actual Uncommitted are becoming mayors, state senators, members of Congress and maybe even part of the US Senate. In some cases, with establishment support.

#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · yesterday

Under-discussed Michigan politics story is that a co-founder of Uncommitted is about to become the Democratic nominee for a seat to the State Senate with the backing of Governor Whitmer

My disappointment after visiting a store selling “adult fantasies” and finding out they don’t sell swords is immeasurable

Nah, Biden's tariffs mostly sucked and were also protectionist brainworms for glonzo politics that tended to undermine his actual policy aims. the "good" use cases of tariffs is such a small policy space that you're better off just closing the door on the whole thing.

no, we shouldn’t, because that violates the entire fucking spirit of democracy. i think we should strongly discourage it — i think it should be seen as embarrassing to hold onto a job like this at advanced age and it should be treated as such socially — but, no, we should not enshrine limits in law

Pilots have to retire at 65. FEderal law enforcement officers, 57 (with some extensions to 60.) Surely we can agree that people over the age of—70? 75?—should not be allowed to run for federal office.

My prior here is that 1) people are processing “favorable to DSA” as “more left” (synonymous with “more liberal”) and 2) Trump’s support of tariffs polarizes the issue so the further you feel from republicans, the worse feelings you express about Trump’s policies.
