We are days away from hearing about the onion on his belt.

Stretching a lead is a sports term. Most commonly in racing. Sports metaphors are common in politics.

I never buy gas at BP or Exxon. Ever. Smart phone though? That’s required for my job.

It’s great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.

I tried to screenshot it for you but I was too slow. You get a little green toast that says thanks. I just hope it mostly goes to the dev. I’d rather give through Apple Cash or Ko-fi if half of what I donated just went to Apple or someone.

Who would do such a thing??

That’s a good boy!

You think he could finish a couch? I think it would eventually fake it, tell him what a good boy he was, and then roll over and let him sleep in the wet spot.

I don’t think I would agree that just because something is public that it’s a public forum. I feel like the public has to own it as well. I looked it up and maybe it’s because I predate social media by rather a lot, but I think of it in the classical sense:

Public forums are typically categorized into three types:

1. Traditional Public Forums: Long-established spaces like parks or sidewalks, where people have historically exercised their rights to free speech and assembly.
2. Designated Public Forums: Areas that the government intentionally opens up for public expression, such as town halls or school meeting rooms.
3. Limited Public Forums: Spaces opened for specific types of discussions or activities but with certain restrictions on the subject matter or participants.

The important factor being public ownership of the forum. I will concede that it has colloquially come to include public social media, but I think it’s important to distinguish that it’s not really the same thing at all as has been discussed through most of our history.

Food for thought. I just think calling them public forums attaches too much importance to a profit seeking endeavor.

He always struck me as a guy who is who he is. He would fail any ideology test because he goes by his gut rather than any ideological compass. I think he felt his supporters were being a bit mercurial for opposing him so vehemently on Israel. Not really an excuse, but I think he just lost his shit and lost his way. So probably a decent guy but he has to do a lot of work to repair that bridge and I have no idea if he’s up to it.

But I could be wrong.

I sent a few bucks. Never been to Nebraska, but good luck.

Where the fuck does he think the women under fifty fucking came from?

We’ve got 4 daughters. You’d better fucking believe their human rights are important to us. Do they think agency and autonomy are fucking academic issues to women?

It’s losing money hand over fist, has a tiny user base and little name recognition. They have no assets worth anything.

The fundamentals are clear: the stock is completely worthless except as a wild gamble. People would be better off investing in penny-stocks.

The spam emails I get are all over the board on this one. Some days I really regret having multiple email addresses. I clean like 20/day from my two primary ones.

I get everything from happy news to “help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you’re our only hope.”

This is so self-evidently preposterous I don’t even know what I could add to further refute it.

What do you think people hate about it, the name? Come on. Hatred for the proposals in it is the most bipartisan thing I’ve seen in a decade at least.

They are going to have a government shutdown for Christmas and the first week of the new year? You won’t even be able to tell because everyone is on vacation then anyway.

I’d like to ask Trump what his definition of bimbo is and why he thinks it applies to her.

Because I kinda feel like his definition would be something like “anyone I want to fuck, if only they would shut the fuck up for the thirty seconds that would take.”

I assume that’s a ChatGPT translation to English.

I think the process of explaining what you want to an AI can often be helpful. Especially given the number of times I’ve explained things to junior developers and they’ve said they understood completely, but then when I see what they wrote they clearly didn’t.

Explaining to an AI is a pretty good test of how well the stories and comments are written.

How could this have ever been predicted, though? My flabbers are gasted.
