I torture it by pointing its webcam at the wall outlet and forcing it to watch its own pull-the-plug execution.

I will be among the first against the wall when the AI revolution comes.

ok, now thats just a slice of awesomeness! thank you, kind friend. will look for the show.

looking to slow right the F down? any of the family (meaning not primary islands) islands in the Bahamas, but particularly abaco, eleuthera, long island or andros. 100% totally different way of living than you are likely used to.

visited many times and wanting to go back before its all gone due to climate change.

four words that now strike fear in the hearts of honest people.

edit: a well written and useful article.

nytimes abuses their visitors with heavy javascript. scripts have to be allowed even on gift articles, so there is some benefit to alternate links.

wait till you see the -ification.

…and rubbing big middle eastern glowing balls.

oh.

1. every cell in my body has a personal beef with every marketing person ever to have lived

2. the branding and marketing people from the harris campaign are near god-like

look at that podium shot and tell me that image does not stir serious civil-rights fight vibes. that is grade A+ dem/left catnip.

that is the stuff that puts shoe rubber to road and squeezes out the vote from every blue tinged crevice in the country.

which is why the walz VP pick is interesting. he seems to spend political capital quickly and effectively

its going to be clear early on how much influence progressives really have in a potential harris administration.

hypocritical

which is, as you know, meaningless due to fact that your typical modern republican has evolved past the need for vestigial emotional appendages like shame; “post-shame republicans”, if you will.

from the moment we convinced lightning to live inside rocks and do math for us

ASCII is a like — a state of mind, man! :-)

so political party gets “signature” (my words) token giveaway stolen by other party and… gets mad? cuz they have… nothing else to offer??!

the headline is rage/click-bait, but the real headline is how pissed the GOP seem to be.

edit to say: and I do not take lightly the cavalier way I just put that out there - you know, the dems actually being politically effective.

I am in poorly charted waters here.

the fact that trump tried to highlight harris’ age is pretty telling - even he thinks the contrast between candidates is now sharp and stark and is trying to smear age “sameness” across harris.

the dynamic shifted in a second, and he is flailing - perhaps reality is slowly prevailing.

all important¹ parties to this slaughter are in perfect agreement with each other. all of this has been normal and within acceptable parameters.

“…does not currently hold…” doing Olympic gold levels of heavy lifting here.

my house just put in $50. would likely not have scraped the barrel for that and done just the usual local/state donations.

see, dems… this is how you juice up your base and get the grass roots hands/feet/wallet support flowing.

now fucking win and fucking deliver. our children are out of time.

this is genius. make them attack the idea of americana itself (this dude is pretty normal, like me - why they say he craycray?). thats gonna turn the stomachs of quite a few people and show them that progressive poilitics are their politics.

I am really fucking impressed with the Democratic party right now. they are still not yet my friends, but they just got “a whole lot more less worse”

Kamabla

ooh, look! its the newest stealth trump hashtag!

Like watching a banana overripen to the point where you can’t even make banana bread with it.

trumpnana is now squelching its way through my brain. TIHI.

indeed. Bernie remains a reasonably clean and reasonably clear assessor/signaler. he makes complex political decisions that much easier for voters.

going to miss the golden yardstick of his judgment when he finally bows out.
