@Render @corlin @peeppeepcircus And elections aren't only about politics. You have to report on the governing that has been done and the governing that needs to be done or you haven't done the job. You can't report on political POVs and omit reporting on the candidates' ability to govern or you're servicing politics and ignoring government. The whole point of the press clause of the 1st amendment is to provide for reporting to the people about the government, pointless if they refuse to do so

@Render @corlin @peeppeepcircus Yes! This! Somewhere along the way the press and much of the people bought into the idea that government was politics. Its not. Politics is about bringing different points of view together to govern. Government is about addressing issues collectively that cannot be effectively managed individually. The press reports on politics and thinks they've covered both beats. You report politics by reporting the POVs. But you can't report on government w/o objective truths

Goddamn 😑 As I've been getting deeper into patching together my family history there are a couple branches of the family tree that dead-end. On my mother's side that happens in the 1810's in Ysleta, TX. On Dad's side it's about the same time in San Elizario, TX. Not knowing the area it took some study to find this is basically the same region around El Paso. And all area controlled in New Spain, about to become Mexico, and basically the land of the Tigua Pueblo.

Warning: I'm going to get a bit serious and come out of hiding in an issue.

It is my intent to share experience and offer a perspective that doesn't get a lot of attention. While I am moved to share because of posts I've seen sharing a different perspective on this issue than my own it isn't my intent to target anyone's enjoyment or point any fingers of blame. If you follow the link below you'll see this is a less common problem, but a real one.

I am marijuana addict in recovery.

When I set out on this journey 7 years ago, I I specifically did NOT want to emulate Twitter.

I wanted to make it curatable, algo-free, user-defined.

I don't mind admitting, I half back-pedaled & created 'Simplified Mode' - in ur far right main menu, but secretly hope nobody uses it.

Since we launched there's been countless popups tryna 'be' the next Twitter.

COSO has always stuck with it's roots & it shows. If you aren't smart enough to figure it out, you'll weed yourself out.

They say I’m a pervert They say I’m a man dressed as a woman. They say I’m a threat to their children. They say I’m confused, They say l'm dangerous. We’re all just people trying to pee in peace.

At this point, complaining about hate on Twitter is like complaining about nudity at an orgy.

Just to make you aware. Next week is thanksgiving. I get a 4 day weekend so I'll have some extra time. I will be checking up that everybody has paid their
If you're behind, prepare your payments for when I come knocking.

Picked up two 2900lb pumps today. When I arrived at the shop one of them was leaking oil profusely. I alerted the chain of command who are largely in meetings today.

Later our most experienced outside sales guy comes into the shop. Took one look at the pump and said don't worry about it. That model has a grease frame, not oil. Nobody knows why that much cutting oil was left in a pump, but it isn't likely a defect.

While Day of Remembrance is officially about those we've lost through direct violence, I choose to expand it.

We lose many more Trans people (and other groups) to indirect violence - suicide. Those who choose this option aren't doing so because the world is all sunshine and flowers. Their world and hope has been whittled away until they see no other option but to sleep forever.

Forced micro-dosing of hate & violence can kill you as easily as an asshole with a gun.

Knives fit perfectly in your boot or the zippo pocket on most jeans, as do pepper spray, pocket tasers, and tactical spikes (kubotans).
Do ANYTHING it takes to protect yourself.
Don't let them think you are theirs for the taking.

Raimondo’s new mission: Leave no cash for Trump

The Biden administration is aiming to commit nearly every unspent dollar in its $50 billion microchip-subsidy program before President-elect Donald Trump takes over in January, an effort that would effectively cement a massive industrial legacy before the GOP can reverse course.

Later seasons of Voyager tried to make a joke out of "Janeway is bad at cooking" because she couldn't get the replicator to produce her grandmother's recipes. But since the replicator is just a computer interpreting code, what this means is that Janeway was bad at *programming.*

Which implies that: 1/

Good morning everyone..

I don’t know if you saw it yet but our first assignment (for those whom it matters), is to make sure that dissent is never stifled by bills.

Please take a look, call on this and urge everyone you know to do the same.

We will need to be vigilant and active because they (who have lots of money) certainly will be trying to push things through that will silence the people.

BTW, most (if not all) Boomers are immune to monkey pox.

Why? Because smallpox vax were mandatory. Because science was trusted.

We eliminated smallpox.

Monkeypox won’t hurt seniors.

So explain to me why RFK Jr is smart?
