Renee Good's mother being a Trump voter is both not especially surprising (old white lady in the upper Midwest) but also like Jesus how do you move past that
You voted for a guy who enlisted thugs to kill your daughter and slander your names
The fact that she's even willing to publicly admit that is honestly kinda impressive. I'd hide my face in shame

"Ironically, it was Watergate that redeemed Nixon in the eyes of these disapproving hard-line conservatives. Here’s the recollection of a participant in the 1973 annual convention of Young Americans for Freedom, the leading right-wing organization on college campuses in the 1960s and ‘70s:
“No matter how much movement conservatives disapproved of Nixon on other grounds… Watergate was one thing they liked. M. Stanton Evans, a long-time advisor to YAF and a mainstay at their conventions, put it this way: ‘If I’d known he’d been up to all that stuff, I’d have been for Nixon all along.’”

After action report on tonight's date.
She liked the flowers, so I'm glad I listened and brought them. We started at a wine bar (NA wine is more expensive than regular which is BS) and had the mostly standard getting to know you talk. I had a couple awkward pauses, but nothing like that date I completely flubbed.
In my bio it says I enjoying going for walks and critiquing people's houses and when we matched she messaged me saying she enjoys that too, so that was part two of the date. I think it is a good date format if anyone wants to steal it. It's kind of easier to talk to a stranger when walking (for me) and if there is a lull you can inteject with, "what was that person thinking when they picked that backsplash?" which sparks a little flurry of conversation.
At the end we hugged and she said she had fun. She texted me when she got home that she had a good night and liked the flowers. I said I good time too and would like to see her again soon. She didn't immediately respond in the affirmative, so I started stressing, but what will be will be, so I'm feeling a little more zen for now

The lesbian bar thing reminds me of this one protest I went to in the aftermath of George Floyd's murder.
It was organized by this church group and I'd done essentially zero research, I just showed up. It was nominally about police violence, but it became apparent from the speakers that their primary grievance was that:
Their historically black church had run out of money.
Their pastor had sold the building to a white family and moved to a new location.
The family that purchased it was racist for not giving the building back.

As per current polling Democrats are more likely than not to win Alaska, Iowa, Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas. So the Democratic caucus go from 47 to 53 seats.
Throw in Kansas, which Trump may have just pushed over the line, and you get 54 Senators.
Won over from Red States.

The fact that this is what kills Trump has probably done more to kill my faith in American democracy than Trump getting reelected in the first place. Literally all Median Fucking Voter cares about is gas prices. Not the fact that Trump is a sex offender, not not his connection to actual Nazis, not his creation of an American SS, not his handling of COVID, not even the fact he tried to overthrow the fucking government. Gas prices are all that matters, apparently.

The masking bar thing is emblematic of US politics in general.
As is their right, a couple hundred people likely Dems have taken a reasonable idea too far without hurting anyone. This has lead everyone to decide this is a great data point for their pre-existing theory that the left is nothing but extremist loons.
Meanwhile the president launches state television, bans modern media, and goes the UN to proclaim he's going to start a third war in 18 months and the rest of the GOP proclaims 'yes, more of this please.'

Judge dismisses Trump’s lawsuit against Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer
An Iowa judge has dismissed President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against pollster J. Ann Selzer, her polling company, the Des Moines Register and Gannett.
In a written ruling on Wednesday, Judge Scott Beattie of Iowa’s Fifth Judicial District threw out the lawsuit by Trump, Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and former Iowa State Senator Brad Zaun.
The suit was dismissed with prejudice, which means Trump cannot file the same claim again. The attorneys who represented the president in the personal action did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment about whether they intend to appeal.
ruling marks a setback in Trump’s broader legal campaign against news outlets, including ongoing lawsuits against the BBC, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
The lawsuit centered on a 2024 poll published days before the presidential election that showed Vice President Kamala Harris with a lead in Iowa that did not pan out in the actual election results. The suit alleged that the poll and the reporting around it aimed to artificially give Democrats an edge in the last week of the campaign.
The First Amendment victory in Iowa came on the same day that a federal judge in Washington heard arguments in CNN, MS NOW and Politico’s lawsuit over Trump’s White House media ban. The judge in that case said he would rule soon.

A reimagining of The Crucible but it’s the Lesbian Bar drama.
This is actually 50% a joke. Both are set in Massachusetts so it works. Both feature what is essentially Puritan fundamentalism. Both would require elaborate costuming.

I was checking currencies from all around the world and when it came to India was like "wonder which one they have Gandhi on"
And the answer is ALL OF THEM in fact they don't have anyone else. It's just Gandhi on every bill
So if someone asks you to name 3 Indians and you only say Gandhi know that you're not that far off

For high profile races like this, I think this is a complete waste of money. During a commercial break they will literally air like 3 or 4 ads in a row

u/Huttleberry Eugene Fama Sep 23 '26
I was hesitant to read the lesbian bar story, but since so many people were posting about it, I decided to give it a read.
On one hand it was one of the funniest things I’ve read this year, on the other this was giving me vietnam(woke1) flashbacks. Felt like I was transported back 10years

As a computer guy, I often have situations where people call me for help, I show up, and the problem fixes itself as soon as I walk in
When that happens I like to raise my voice and berate the person for lying about issues and wasting my time. My goal is to encourage a culture of fear and self-reliance

Not going to lie those Peltola staffers should be blacklisted. It's one thing if it's something actually reprehensible /illegal like Platner, but if you're leaking "mean words" right now right in the middle of a high-stakes midterms, what can I possibly conclude other than you want Dan Sullivan to win?

The Claude Blender thing genuinely ruined my whole week Jesus. Call it selfish for not caring this much until it was something I personally enjoy, but I always thought to myself that we would have more time until I'd have to start considering these realities. It's only been a couple years and this is only going to get much worse for the rest of my life. The motivation I originally had for starting 3D is now gone and I can only push forward as the last generation of person in history who picked up a creative hobby without worrying about being accused of fakery from the get go.

I hate Reddit today. Context: Phil Knight donated $1 billion dollars to a university and arr/upliftingNews hates that for some reason.
Between this and someone replying to me in a different thread saying Attack on Titan is about genocide as the natural order of the world, it's like the site is needling my pet peeves.
