Trump trusted more than Biden on democracy among key swing-state voters
  • Well put - and I expect we'd agree that the worst are outlets like the NYT and WP that trip over themselves trying to appeal to a demographic that hates them by constantly pushing “both sides” or worse pretending it's normal partisan dynamics and not an utterly corrupt SCOTUS and dysfunctional Congress let alone aspiring authoritarianism on one side. They focus on eyeballs and revenue, journalistic integrity be damned.

  • Stonehenge sprayed with orange powder paint by Just Stop Oil activists
  • I thought oil was the problem?

    Their point is absolutely valid. Their method is absurd. This doesn't generate a dialogue, it undermines the point by enabling opponents to rightfully condemn the vandalism and changes no minds.

    Attacking art or culture is counterproductive.

  • Riding in the mountains
  • Being used to riding on flat land be aware of sight-lines being obstructed by the hill. “Hug” the fog line (not the centerline) in case oncoming traffic blows the turn an runs wide - this also enables a later apex so optimize your sightline in left handers (for right side traffic, not sure where you live)….also you may not be familiar with turning/elevation changes so take it nice and chill. Enjoy! Having gone from flat FL to mountains in CA it's how to truly enjoy what your bike can do.

  • Muslim nurse in New York fired after calling Israel's war in Gaza 'genocide'
  • The employer is within their rights to terminate so long as it's not on the basis of a protected class (gender, religion, age etc.).

    I don't agree that stating an opinion should be grounds but I do not believe they violated anything.

    Even worse, she's recognized for excellent work performance so you'd think that matters more….but nope.

  • Justice Alito's Upside-Down Flag Claim Dismantled by Police, Neighbors: Report
  • Legally I'm not sure - symbolically he could do a lot. Call out the ethical judgement of Thomas and Alito for one. Recommend recusal. Hell, suggest resignations - if he were a principled Chief Justice that is, but alas….

  • The Media Still Doesn’t Grasp the Danger of Trump
  • They know perfectly well but prefer the revenue to fulfilling their journalistic responsibility and acting ethically.

    When news is a product to market and not a social responsibility this is the result. They're selling a narrative and horse race delivers profits - also their delusion that kissing the ass of the guy that calls them the enemy might save them could be a factor.

    Shameful how their response has been to cower and equivocate and not report objectively and clearly.

  • Best Buy Membership "discount"
  • Yeah….also curious. It's been a couple of years but when I previously bought stuff from Monoprice it was a smoking deal and I'm pretty certain none of the cables I bought ever failed me.

  • Special counsel asks judge for gag order in Trump classified documents case | CNN Politics
  • Cannon has no ethics to grapple with, she'll quite happily do whatever it is she believes protects Trump. As with Alito and Thomas she's blatantly biased and doesn't appear to care at all about her oath or duty.

    They're flaunting their disdain for the very system they purport to protect.

  • New 9/11 Evidence Points to Deep Saudi Complicity
  • Hesitant, forlorn and very much hopefully misplaced resigned upvote.

    I want to dismiss your assertions out of hand as too pessimistic and cynical but…yeah, we let them win at least the battle if not the whole shebang.

    My hope stems from kids today generally being kinder, open minded and not “tolerant” but actually coexisting with nary a thought. Better people will make a better world if we give them the chance to before fucking up beyond repair.
