Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

General election In the 1954 general election campaign against Little Rock Mayor Pratt Remmel, Faubus secured the endorsement of the previous 1950 and 1952 Republican gubernatorial nominee, Jefferson W. Speck, a planter from Mississippi County in eastern Arkansas. 5. Faubus defeated Remmel by a 63% to 37% percent margin. Faubus rejected his father's radicalism for the more mainline New Deal, a pragmatic move. He was elected governor as a liberal Democrat. A moderate on racial issues, he adopted racial policies that were palatable to influential white voters in the Delta region as part of a strategy to effect key social reforms and economic growth in Arkansas. 6]

It has been suggested that this sensitivity contributed to his later stance against integration when he was challenged by segregationist elements within his own party. Faubus's challenger in the 1956 gubernatorial primary, Jim Johnson, called Faubus "a traitor to the Southern way of life," spurring Faubus to add a line to his standard speech: "No school district will be forced to mix the races as long as lam governor of Arkansas."/] [8] Little Rock crisis Main article: Little Rock Nine

Ah, and that’s just it.

We shouldn’t act surprised that we have one party with two branches: the Rs & the Ds. They fight over foolishness but the ratchet only ever goes one way: more conservative. Somehow now the Republicans are Nazis & the Democrats are seeking the next Orval Faubus to lead them.

Except now it’s their sacred religion.

The U.S. has been discriminating against China for about 150 years now, tho.

It’s just more carefully-nurtured conservative American racism. They never gave it up. They’re as racist now as ever. Aggressively so.

Because the lazy shiftless hand of the free market will always lose to hands that are paying attention.

What happened is Republican elected officials and Democratic elected officials united in their hatred of China and so they destroyed America to spite China.

He executed Eric Duprey in the street for allegedly:

“selling dime bags of cocaine.”

That sports teams in NY fundraise for folks who murder other people at work… well I want no New York in any Great Lakes Republic. There’s something wrong with them. I think it’s that water they’re so proud of.

Maybe he’ll get hit by a meteor.

Because “never again” only means “never again to us only.”

When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.

Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.

Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

If the process lasts longer than three rounds total you should consider walking.

I’ve never thought about this before, but a company having 4, 5, or more rounds of interviews actually looks bad on the company’s part, because it shows that they’re indecisive or worse, disorganized. I interviewed for a game studio that did 7 rounds and I should have just quit when I saw that.

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

Witness the mesmerizing murmuration of starlings in Italy, a stunning display of nature's coordination and beauty as they dance through the sky in unison.

Democrats will continue to seek votes from MAGA men in 2026, 2027, and 2028 and will fail to capitalize on any opportunities.

Well you don’t think their prescriptions for government are to have it succeed, do you?

They want us dependent on the invisible hand so they can plan to control it.

Unmistakable how the Dems are acting like nothing is seriously amiss.

They and the Republicans are on each others’ side.

Have you noticed how ALL the elected people are acting like it’s just business as usual? I guess that makes sense since they were fucking us all over this entire time.

…no?

Brains are funny.

I can remember every word to a song I haven’t heard in 30 years but I’ve got no clue what my email password is.

But like a bajillion times more complicated than a mere RAID array.

Our brains are stupendously cool. Way cooler than we ourselves even think most of the time!

Came here to say this.

They’re error correction schemes before anyone knew what those were.

Meter, lyric, and rhyme usually allow someone to infer the missing word or words simply from contextual clues, meter, and rhyme. Cadence, too.

Very much like how RAID arrays work with parity sets.

Song lyrics are a brain hack for memorizing things. Like, before writing existed, oral histories were passed down as songs.

Songs with meters and defined rhyme schemes are self-correcting, in that if you forget a word it can usually be inferred from the rhyme scheme and meter.

It’s so cool! 🧑‍🏫📚💖

Maybe @bencollins.bsky.social can make something of this but I immediately thought of the Sickos meme.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

Why do people idolize billionaire pop stars?!

They’re still fucking billionaires.

I pray to god that Gordon Getty’s nephew Gavin Newsom gets nowhere near the Oval Office.

Those oil fuckers play the long game.

I love how people in the US says AOC can't win in 2028, but they keep putting her name next to other candidates as their choice. Sometimes as president with a "supporting" vice president, or as vice president.

Come on. Who are you trying to fool?

AOC will be president.

Winners ignore the haters.

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.

Correct.

zomfg your entire counterargument is:

ATTACK

"Nuh-uh."

Where does that count as an argument? Christ y'all are just inept.
