It was also retweeted (a screencap) on twitter by the official white house account…

nice. [/obligatory]

you make it sound as if politicians do things in a logical well thought out manner. It doesn’t matter anyways, politicians will never vote for something that adds restrictions to themselves. Politics is entirely self-interested, and those who are publicly interested get pushed out.

on the surface that sounds reasonable, linking the age to run with the age to retire. If you’re going by todays “retirement” age and social security age…

But what will happen in practice is then the politicians will vote to raise the age of retirement, thereby giving them more time in office. Meanwhile, we’re gonna have a lot more Walmart Greeters than we have positions. (assuming your local Wallyworld still has greeters… and that the greeter isn’t AI)

this is fucking disgusting.

Just because she was a veteran doesn’t mean she deserves to be honorably buried. She was engaged in open sedition. Rushing to assault our elected officials in attempt to subvert the democratic process. That’s about the furthest thing from “honorable” as you can get.

I’m a veteran, I didn’t commit treason against my oath and country.

Fuck her, and fuck every “veteran” like her.

Now read it in a Boomhauer voice.

Actually, the keys part is fake. But Superman offering the liquor bottle is real.

For added context, he’s offering the bottle to SixPack, an alcoholic and minor hero. Unknown to himself, SixPack is a sleeping god whose dreams warp reality. He was starting to sober up after a traumatic event but it was causing him to dream a version of the world without superheroes, our world. Superheroes were losing their power or becoming vulnerable.

And so, Superman figures this out and to prevent the collapse of their known universe, he offers SixPack a bottle of liquor so that he forgets this other world and the sleeping god becomes dormant again.

which I hate… especially the “shorts”…

tween daughter has adhd, easily falls into tiktok brainrot hellholes. Has trouble with self-regulation and self-control… I still want her to have music to listen to and do things (some lofi to study/chill to, etc)… but now, Spotify is yet another vector for distraction that consumes her.

People be like “parent’s should take responsibility for their kids”… I’m like “mf, I’m trying, but every app in the world is trying to be social media” And the parental controls they offer are shiiiiiiiit. Because it’s not in a companies best interest to provide parents with tools to limit features.

He sucks, but, right now, he’s also the only dem taking real actions, with real momentum, against the gop. Actions that aren’t just symbolic.

Jefferies talked a lot? Who tf cares.

Schumer’s gonna write another stern email? Okay…

If we continue to eat our own in the face of fascism we will get another Warren.
