I have a special disdain for nonvoters. Whenever I say that, some of them angrily reply here, on Bluesky, that it's not their fault the options were not to their liking. Big fucking deal. That's what adulting looks like: choosing the least objectionable option. Because there always is one.
Close to 90 million people did NOT vote in the 2024 election.
90 million.
It bears repeating over and over and over.

Murcs Law 2.0
Not only do Republicans have no agency, neither do voters.
There is NO charge that would've prevented Trump from running, because any conviction would've been appealed through 2024.
And the only people who let him go free are the people who didn't vote against him.

Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.

Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

Israel had and has the right to proportional response to the 7 October murders and kidnappings.
Destroying universities, schools, and archives doesn't fall anywhere within that.
It's brazen erasure.
We've seen and done cultural destruction in Canada - it IS genocidal.

Climate people, did the fossil fuel industry seed and propagate the idea that renewables (specifically batteries) require materials, which require mining, which is bad (so implicitly we should just run on fossil fuels forever)? It's just striking to me how devoutly people repeat it unexamined....

It's not debating, it's shouting over people and gaslighting them so that their frustrated reactions make you go viral.
I am also very wary of people who think we should spend more time talking people out of their bigotry than helping those directly affected by their bigotry.

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely:
1. Purge govt of non loyalists
2. Weaponize law against opponents
3. Use military to police opposition strongholds
4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel
5. Change election rules in his favor.

So the radical leftists’ plot must go something like this:
The Democrats had the files and tampered with them, but didn’t use them during the election. Now that Trump is president, they want the files to become public to falsely incriminate Trump

Israel is allowing some "airdrops" of food in Gaza. This is like putting a violin group at the railway station to the death camp. All show.
Meanwhile the slow mass murder continues. When will the west actually denounce Israel, impose sanctions and support the indictment of these war criminals?
