Yes, but it’s not relevant to the point I was making

Intentionally, I think.

She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.

BlueSky is another corporate microblog platform, which could end up going the way of Twitter. I'm not saying it will be bought by a fascist billionaire, but they will be beholden to advertisers at some point in the near future.

I would highly recommend finding a Mastodon, Akkoma, or GoToSocial instance that aligns with your values and use that instead. If you are concerned about the network effects of not being on the 'biggest' platform where all the celebs are, there is a Bluesky->Mastodon bridge available.

So this is just a shortcut to Google or DuckDuckGo with a prebuilt query?

Wouldn’t the state have to present its case for each charge? Like wouldn’t presenting evidence and testimony to show its murder 1 undermine a murder 2 charge?

it’s too late, this country is cooked

Love this. I don’t agree with the sentiment that Trek is being overdone - I’d rather have a slate of options and sit through the “bad” than have to wait years to get anything close to good.

Like, I enjoyed parts of Picard, but on the whole, it didn’t work out (maybe given the serial nature of each season, or cramming pretty ambitious ideas into 10 episodes each season). But I’ll take that any day over having to wait a week at a time for a “filler” episode.

Still hoping for a Klingon focused show… would love anything where a federation vessel isn’t the primary setting!

This dude is literally from my town. What a king

The mighty Kira Nerys.

Her and my daughter share a middle name for a reason.

This is the first good news I’ve read all day

You sure sound gleeful that a bunch of people’s lives are about to be ruined.

The Dems could have done much more to prevent this. Letting a Muslim American elected democrat speak at the DNC would have been the smallest bone thrown.

Stop voter blaming.

lets see if ol' Donny can wriggle his way out of this one!

Great take, I think this nails it.

Assuming we still have free and fair elections in 2026 I suspect the Dem base will be fired up again. Question is if it will be too late.

Biden should expand the god damned court

Amending the constitution would take 38 states to get on board IIRC and is not a quick process anyway. The republicans do not control 38 state governments.

This is more an indictment of Biden than anything I said.

Oof, you are 100% describing the fight I got into with my mother in law earlier this year. She is one of those “unintentional racists” (I’m sure she tells herself that to feel better), but when I tried to educate her on why what she said wasn’t cool she got massively defensive.

Nobody who calls themselves a Democrat or leftist or whatever label you want to apply to yourself other than “right wing dipshit” should EVER listen to anything Joe Scarborough has to say. He is a right wing grifter just like Ben Shapiro, he just happens to have the support of MSNBC or whatever network he is on now.

I literally see voters saying the Democrats were too left leaning, jfc.

I think its important to ask the people saying that to name specific examples of HOW they were too left leaning. People just want to hurt someone now because they are hurt - it doesn't matter if they are punching left or right, if they perceive something as landing, it makes them feel better.

I am seeing Liberals online blaming minorities for not showing up when the reality is, across the board Dem voters didn't show up.
