Too many genuinely bad people, who have behaved rather badly and have big problems are absolutely drawn to conservative politics/culture. And Republican voters love them. And they love to tell you they don’t care about any of it.
Hunter@hunterub.bsky.social · 18h agoI really think we gotta explore why Republicans keep voting for guys whose whole personas are "serial killer with a chip on his shoulder." What is it about these obvious pieces of shit that draws these voters in.
Still imo the best cameo episode ever and maybe just the best episode.

Apart from the experience of saving a life, it’s crazy what people pay for some dogs with so many great pups available for something like $25. Not that it’s the most important thing, but there are some gorgeous mutts in shelters.

Remarkable the degree to which the IRGC is just not going to let Trump walk away with anything he can call a win. I scoffed a little bit when some security experts said that basically 'humiliation of enemies' was an Iranian regime pattern in terms of aims, but that doesn't seem far off.

Interestingly, I think the root of MAHA is this idea of personal responsibility for health conditions because these people think it’s *just* what you eat. A lot of the people behind it are big into shame. And disturbingly, I think this crosses the left/right spectrum.
Just for what it’s worth, in LA many complaints about new construction are about design, usually directed at developers, but mandated by local authorities.
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 2d agoThe only way we are going to solve California’s housing shortage is by having every city in the state “rubber stamp” unremarkable new apartment buildings and townhomes.
Also: most people aren’t as healthy as they think they are! 40 something percent of Americans are obese. About a third who need blood pressure medication aren’t taking it.
