Yesterday I woke to learn that white christian presidential candidate Don Trump had blown his mic stand.
It reminded me of a famous Christian thinker named Jesus H. Christ. You may have heard about him; people often say his name when they see such things.

So true: "I see TRUMP/VANCE signs ... and I know there is somebody inside that house who on some significant level cannot be trusted, a person who is either eager to bring menace and death to others, or else is willing to allow such things in order to secure a perceived unnatural advantage."
Don't vote as if your life depended on it (though it does).
Vote because other people's lives depend on it.

"Google Calendar" becomes "Gool Cander" for some fans after the third beer of the match.
Colorful smoke, set off by die-hard fans, floating above a soccer pitch while the match is in progress.
Learned an important language lesson from a drunk fan at Detroit City FC's quarterfinal match: It's near impossible to say "Google Calendar" after several beers.
To stave off early Christmas, we need a more robust Thanksgiving mythology. And I don’t mean Pilgrims and Indians bullshit. I’m talking about, like, a gravy witch.
Cis men, and yes. My whole life has been shaped by the understanding that I got to control if and when I have children.
Dobbs was like stepping through the looking glass and seeing all the many different and much worse ways my life could have unfolded without my consent.
It never matters. None of it ever matters. They hated Clinton for not going to Vietnam and hated Gore and Kerry for going.
Turns out when you bend the knee that just tells dictators your knees are pre broken for their convenience
I bet a lot of men in Indiana will read this headline and say, "It's about time."
There should be some sort of Dan Quayle / Mike Pence award for shittiest Hoosier Politician
The key paragraph

The image shows a black baseball cap with the phrase "Make America Great Again" embroidered in a gothic-style, white font. The tweet is from Elon Musk's verified Twitter account, and the tweet was posted 3 hours ago. The cap is placed on a light-colored surface, and the focus of the image is on the cap and its embroidered text.
The image is a screenshot of a text snippet from Wikipedia, specifically from the "Antiqua–Fraktur dispute" article. The highlighted text reads: "Nonetheless, Fraktur typefaces were particularly heavily used during the early years of the Nazi era, when they were initially represented as true German script." The subsequent text mentions that the press was criticized for using "Roman characters" associated with "Jewish influence," and German émigrés were encouraged to use only "German script." Below this text is a link to the Wikipedia page. The screenshot has a dark background with white text.
Elon posted his MAGA hat which uses the Fraktur font, popular in nazi Germany. He wore this at a rally meant to evoke the 1939 nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.
He's telling you who he is.
Refusing to pick a side when one of the sides is fascism is picking the fascist side.
It's not brave. It's not moral. It's just surrendering in advance.
I don't know who's worse, tbh--the fascists themselves or the bootlicking toadies who are just happy to be invited to the pogroms
The Santa Fe Railyard Arts District has some interesting galleries. www.santaferailyardartsdistrict.com
Santa Fe National Forest has a variety of hiking trails. The Aspen trail is an easy walk.
in a way, this picture is perfect as it beautifully portrays how unreliable (and potentially harmful) genAI is
Here's a staged propaganda photo of facist leader, Benito Mussolini "harvesting" wheat in 1938. Posting for no reason whatsoever.
I think it was very nice for the Make-a-Wish Foundation to shut down that McDonalds and let little Donnie Trump play pretend at the drive thru before he finally succumbs to the ravages of tertiary syphilis
A billionaire blatantly breaking election laws to get his preferred candidate into power is the sort of crime that law enforcement should address immediately, rather than giving it a chance to work first and prosecuting only if it fails.
The Patriots playing in London is such a missed opportunity for the NFL to lean into pro wrestling fun. They should’ve come out as complete heels. Drum line and fifes. Reenactors doing Bunker Hill. Burn an effigy of King George III on the 50-yard line. Get that crowd hyped
Same is true of my department at Michigan State
It doesn’t resemble indentured servitude, it is indentured servitude. Though possibly with fewer safeguards.
My department chair would just be getting started at 209

"The aftermath of Hurricane Helene has shown that, even as technology has theoretically improved our capacity to connect with other people, our visibility into what’s happening on the ground may be deteriorating."
Goddamn this is a good thread
"On the matter of Marcellus Williams, the Supreme Court broke, as it usually does, along the lines of judges who have and judges who have not been bribed by theocratic billionaires, with the bribed majority siding with state murder, as they very reliably do."
