Also in my 30s in a safe blue state, and despite being a donor to several dem/progressive candidates, I have received precisely zero poll/campaign texts. I can’t help but wonder if it has something to do with me dropping traditional social media when I was 23 and never touching my accounts again. I’m pretty sure Meta and Twitter think I died at age 23 and I’m totally ok with that.

lol. lmao, even.

As a bearded lumberjack-lookin’ MF who isn’t a conservative or a weakchin, these dudes can fuck right off. We do not claim them.

(plays William Wallace)

(endorses authoritarian candidate)

At the very least the man is skilled at pretending to be someone he’s not. That’s about all he’s got going for him.

Oh you know, the normal stuff women do to these guys like: refusing to have sex with them, having opinions, existing. All the typical incel shit.

I would still say all of this is a problem and certifies him as a jackass tbh.

Deleting the post after he felt personally offended doesn’t magically absolve him of having made the endorsement in the first place. And if he was paid for it that’s even worse imo.

Evidently yes, but only about “Made In” brand cookware. To be fair, it does look like some good quality stuff.

And Nicky Jam continues to look more like Nicky Jackass:

Born in Lawrence, Massachusetts to a Dominican mother and a Puerto Rican father, his family moved to Puerto Rico when he was ten years old.

… on September 13, 2024, Nicky Jam endorsed Trump for president … Nicky Jam went on to delete his Instagram post endorsing Trump.

Alexandra Petri is courageous, Jeff Bezos is a scared little shit, spread the news.

The actual creators at WaPo should just come forward as a group and endorse anyway. The fuck is Bezos gonna do, nuke his whole staff?

Edit: So far we have one, Alexandra Petri: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30367614

Edit 2: The WaPo cartoon team is collectively speaking out against the decision not to endorse: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27230878

I’m probably doing exactly what they want here (e.g. having a conversation about it), but that letter is called “Eth” and was the Old English way of spelling the “th” sound: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth

A number of linguistic buffs want to bring it back to the modern English alphabet.

Same dude. Younger me would have confidently said something boneheaded like “I’d just drink and smoke until a miscarriage”, older me realizes I don’t have any semblance of capability to understand what must be going through this poor woman’s mind. And then even if she had tried something unorthodox to terminate the pregnancy, these sick fucks probably would have tried to put her in jail for it even though she’s the victim.

Cool. Except the thing is I never said this wasn’t Harris’ plan. I said that the article is about an independent review of her plan, and therefore she’s not “play[ing] the tax card”. I would agree she’s “play[ing] the tax card” if she was making a big deal of this all of a sudden out of nowhere, but that’s not happening here.

This isn’t Harris “play[ing] the tax card”, the article isn’t even referencing anything her campaign said.

FTA:

The new analysis from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) follows its in-depth examination of Trump’s tax proposals, which the group found would cut taxes for the richest 5% of Americans and raise them for everyone else.

And directly from ITEP’s “Mission & History” page:

ITEP is a non-profit, non-partisan tax policy organization. We conduct rigorous analyses of tax and economic proposals and provide data-driven recommendations to shape equitable and sustainable tax systems.

Source: https://itep.org/about/

Based on the “equitable and sustainable” piece, ITEP probably slants left, sure, but I’d say that’s far more owing to conservative tax policy having no basis in being equitable or sustainable for the past four decades at least.

That all being said there’s literally no reason to make this a dig at Harris, because, you know, the article isn’t referencing anything she or her campaign has publicly said…

Look… you might’ve made me laugh pretty hard just now, but you didn’t have to post this. You woke up and chose violence.

I’ve heard this exact same thing from a former colleague that left my company to go work at a place selling “smart” security systems 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t know, I’m online quite a bit and wouldn’t say I see hate speech “often” at all. Then again, all of my socials are on the fediverse except for snapchat (yeah I know snap is a shit company - I use it to send pictures of food to a couple close friends), so there’s probably a bit of curation on my part.

You know I’ve been thinking about this since the memes are really driving home this association between the Hamberdler and McD’s. I wonder if this will push people away from buying their food on the long term and inadvertently lead to some subset of the population eating healthier than they otherwise would have. Probably just wishful thinking on my part though.

LOL…

This AI tool queries the Tribune’s voter guides, and it’s powered by Google. Generative AI is experimental and it cannot answer every question perfectly.

Ah yes, the same AI that recommended putting fucking glue on pizza and suggested self-harm when queried with “I’m depressed”. Nothing can possibly go wrong there. How about you try, I dunno, a god damn FAQ? But no, that doesn’t generate hype. Disclaimer or not, this shit should be just as illegal as traditional election interference.
