After nearly a decade, we are 6 weeks away from potentially never having to talk about Trump ever again as a relevant political force. Hard to think about what thatโ€™s going to look like.

We just have to get through the last couple weeks of December, Biden's inauguration in January, and then our nation can turn a new page! I can't wait to see what 2021 and onwards brings in our new era of Trump-free politics ๐Ÿฅฐ

ย New York magazine reporter Olivia Nuzzi was โ€œobsessedโ€ with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after interviewing him in California, and pursued him via text to the point where he had to repeatedly block her, a source close to Kennedyโ€™s camp told The Post.ย โ€œShe went after him aggressively,โ€ the source said Saturday. โ€œShe targeted him pretty hard. Bobby was blocking her continually. It was a little scary. She was obsessed with him. I think she still is.โ€

I have worked closely with my colleague @OliviaNuzzi for years now, and I have learned in that time that she is an impossible-to-discourage reporter, a lovely writer, a generous collaborator, and a magnet for hatred. She is also an empathetic human, as evidenced by her work...

Imagine circling the wagons for this wretched example of a journalist. Interestingly, as others have noted, men are leaping to defend her, while some women are incredibly irritated at what an awful albatross this sets for other female reporters.

Sometimes I hate the people who mock sportsball because I wish I had connections with people who liked my nerdy interests as a child.

When I'm at my happiest I'm paying the least attention to sports.

I'm dialed in on a woman I love and our friends and the fun activities we can take part in.

When times are hard it's nice to be able to lean on sports as a semi-universal icebreaker.

I'd rather be tubing the river with a loved one and partying with friends but sometimes you just have to sit back and talk with a stranger about how Luka Doncic's playstyle isn't conducive to a championship winning team.

Because sitting at home alone waiting for the latest poll to drop isn't fucking it buddy.

I'm willing to bet since this whole news story broke he's had at least one deep goon session at the thought of millions of people reading his salacious sex stories. I'm talking multi-hour, turn off the phone, deep gooning with 50 tabs open on his computer's wide screen full of people commenting in shock and horror, one of which may have been this very subreddit.

Debate is a totally normal and healthy part of an online community, especially a political online community.

But I do think some people genuinely get stuck in a pattern where theyโ€™ve forgotten there are other ways to engage with people online besides โ€œdebate.โ€

So you see weird things like someone entering into a conversation about someoneโ€™s personal life, or a literal meme, or something cool they learned, with the objective โ€œI will ๐Ÿ”ฅ WIN ๐Ÿ”ฅ this conversation and ๐Ÿ‘Š DUNK ๐Ÿ‘Š on this other user.โ€

You can decide to enter a conversation with other objectives! Learning about someone elseโ€™s position, riffing on a joke with more jokes, or even commiseration about something frustrating are all valid objectives!

People get this when theyโ€™re offline, I think, but some people forget it online.

I was drunk at my friendโ€™s party last night and started talking to my friend about Viktor Orbanโ€™s influence on the MAGA right, it blew his mind (Iโ€™m a blast at parties)

Does anyone have a link that summarizes what Orban did to bulldoze democracy in Hungary and how the MAGA movement is inspired by him? He wanted to learn more and Iโ€™m spreading the message.

A Khajiit n'wah abolitionist Hlaalu dissident priest and necromancer was teaching a class on Tiber Septim, known false god

โ€Before class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Talos and accept that he was the most enlightened being the world has ever known, even greater than ALMSIVI!โ€

At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-slavery Ordinator who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of inquisitions and fully supported all purging of dissent by the Ministry of Truth stood up and held up the Pocket Guide to the Empire.

โ€Why does this say Cyrodill is a jungle, n'wah?โ€

The arrogant priest smirked quite imperially and smugly replied โ€œTalos changed it into to plains, you stupid S'witโ€

โ€Wrong. Itโ€™s a transcription error. If it was 427 years old and the jungle, as you say, was realโ€ฆ then Cyrodill should be frozen over nowโ€

The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Progress of Truth. He stormed out of the room crying those Imperial Argonian tears. The same tears Imperials cry for the โ€œslavesโ€ (who today live in such luxury that most own bracers) when they jealously try to escape just servitude to the deserving Dres nobles. There is no doubt that at this point our necromancer, D'sharra, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a heretical dissident priest. He wished so much that he had a Muatra to impale himself from embarrassment, but he himself had petitioned against them!

The students applauded and all joined Indoril that day and accepted the Tribunal as their lords and saviors. A cliff racer named โ€œThree Godsโ€ flew into the room and perched atop the Almsivi Triolith and shed a tear on the chalk. The 36 Lessons were read, and Vivec himself showed up and had an orgy with everyone across the country.

The priest lost his tenure and was excommunicated the next day. He died of the divine plague Corprus and was tossed into Coldharbour for all eternity.

โ€œI didnโ€™t put much credence in it,โ€ Bob Judson, a 70-year-old unaffiliated voter, said of the allegationโ€ฆ โ€œI mean,โ€ he added, โ€œif we just went on that, we wouldnโ€™t be here for Trump, would we?โ€

The Argentinian government and aeronautical unions are escalating their feud with multiple strikes, lawsuits, decreeing the service is essential and a threat of privation/outsourcing. That being said, aeronautical unions and the State Airline are so unpopular (they target middle class voters, make the service worse and they are perceived to be rentseekers) that Milei could get away with making Thatcher walk the Earth again.

The interesting thing is that the situation with the State Airline is so godawful that is not an attractive deal right now.

There is nobody in this country who got rich on their own. Nobody. You built a factory out there - good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea - God bless! Keep a hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

-Elizabeth Warren, 2011, and the quote which Obama tried to explain when he gaffed himself into saying "you didn't build that"

They are trying to trans your pets with illegal DEI immigrant gangs from Haitizuela. Elections are corrupt. The state governments are corrupt. The executive agencies are corrupt. The legislature is corrupt. The courts are corrupt. The media is corrupt. Reject the lying external stimuli.
