the chaise lounge is positively despondent

guessing the couch isn't too happy with the news

heard the sofa is having a jealous fit

never gonna find any great meaning from watching a JD Vance vid on my computer screen, for sure

let me quit my well-paying desk job to go pick strawberries since ICE goon squads are rounding up immigrant laborers willing to do factory farm work then come home and try to feed my 10 kids

right onnit

what's been done with the restoration and preservation is almost miraculous

you do get a sense of what life was like in Pompeii up to the moment of destruction and its real and terrible human cost

yeah, definitely not a fan of this update

gotta question the decision-makers at Apple who signed off on this

"Strong Floor, No Ceiling"

means when the storms come, you're gonna be cold and wet?

if it means something else and has to be explained then it's kinda bad

establishment Dems have learned nothing over the past decade it seems when it comes to messaging

seems like people are mostly focusing on the first sentence and skipping the second

which is kind of the whole point, imo

'government' is an idea, like race or math or religion

government has no power on its own until actualized

you want better government, get better people to run it

ngl, 'Gnocci' is about the perfect name for that pupper

but to your larger point

"all politics are identity politics"

agree 100%

just that the discussion of identity in politics needs to be as much about economic identity as it is about personal/social identity

when people talk about identity in politics, it's about how whatever categorization applies to them results in some privileged or unprivileged treatment

when they're talking about standard of living, it's about needs being met or unmet

these intersect (as with safety) but they're not the same

"implies that the only real “everyday Americans” are those..."

not sure Buttigieg implying that sentiment, only that some Dems were overly focused on identity instead of a diminished American standard of living

easier to pit us against each other when the conversation is about how we are different

Dark Castle in general had a string of good horror flicks back in the early-to-mid 2000's.

But that whole opening sequence to Ghost Ship including the tension wire scene, man...

honest discourse involving people from across the ideological spectrum, yes

promoting the dissemination of propaganda by known demagogues and repeat liars, no thanks

- and -

i don't have to share space with racists and fascists

or give them some form of validation by means of my attention

Post reported as misleading, image used lacks context and should be considered pejorative.

The CNN article itself does a better job of providing context.
