Keep reminding your cult friends and family of the hypocrisy (on so many levels) of the world's greatest deal-maker:

"Claim:
If elected, Kamala Harris plans to institute a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains, which will hurt the middle class & cause an "economic calamity."
What's True:
It's true Harris endorsed a plan to institute a 25% tax on unrealized capital gains.
What's False:
Plan specifies tax applies only to those w/wealth > $100M — i.e., not the middle class. It would only affect the wealthiest 0.01% in the country, it's unlikely to cause an "economic calamity."
Could (possibly?) be considered NSFW Show more
Yeah, love that timeline section. 🤣
@Anouk I would add that if you found this interesting you may also enjoy Legion. Amazingly creative and not like anything I've ever seen before.
For a while there, FX was coming out with some truly wonderful shows that were the best thing on television... Legion, Baskets, The League, Fargo (wow!), It's Always Sunny, The Americans, etc.
@Anouk Agreed. And Ruth Negga was luminous in this.

71 days until we send Trump off as a loser. KEEP ROWING. #HarrisWalz2024 #VoteBlue
@DevinY1 Why say "or"? Let it be hilarious and hope for "and" 😉
@Bix Awesome.
We're coming up on the 50th anniversary of this appearance on TOTP (back before that acronym had anything to do with auth).
It's Robert Wyatt with Neil Diamond's "I'm a Believer" (with help from Andy Summers [Police], Nick Mason [Pink Floyd], Richard Sinclair [Caravan, Hatfield & the North] and Fred Frith [Henry Cow])
@feloneouscat I'm not tired of it. I need to hear it. Can't go through it again.

@Beanc And for those older speakers, unless you've fried a voice coil or something, you can easily replace decayed surrounds and they'll sound as good as new.
Look for 'speaker surround replacement kit'

The sudden concern for Joe Biden's well-being on the part of Dickless, Vontz, and the right-wing media outlets last week was certainly a peculiar development.
Given that they've spent about five years insisting he was both senile and corrupt, one really has to wonder what brought about all these precipitous bursts of unprecedented compassion.
Seems a bit WEIRD to me.
