Transmetropolitan nails this.

Unfortunately for us as a civilization, the series has aged quite well.

Department Of Government Efficiency. DOGE

The name itself is a fucking joke about Elons pet Cryptocoin.

I wish we had linked to the essay in the first place, the independent tore it apart without adding any substance.

Then I saw my husband’s post. “God Bless America. God bless #45, 47.” I immediately texted, “I love you, but out of respect for me and all my liberal writer friends, can you please take down that post?

Still, I know he is a good man and he would do anything for a family member or friend, which makes what he has done even more infuriating and even more painful.

On Nov. 7, I saw my husband’s post was still up. It had more comments from Americans I believe had made a huge mistake two days earlier.

“I saw that you didn’t take your post down, and that breaks my heart.” Then I walked out the door — devastated but determined — into the blue of a new day.

Hon, you say he would do anything for family? But he couldn't even take down a post. It's time to start accepting that your mental image of him is not the same person who is in reality.

Salt.

  • Nearly every recipe uses it
  • infinite shelf life (durable)
  • cheap as heck.

Unfortunately it's not a conversation, they've already decided their right and no amount of illumination on their obvious blindspots is gonna change that.

There are a lot of ways to interpret this question, it really depends on the information and the people.

Hence why OP is asking for better ways to communicate.

:P

Books, not just reading but long form text. If someone doesn't want listen, then they won't even if they pretend otherwise.

So if a talented author puts out a message, the reader has to continually choosing to read, intake and process what is being communicated. It's easy to tune out of conversation, videos or lectures without realizing it. But if you make it to the end of the page and don't know what just happened, it's entirely at your discretion to go back and reprocess. Infinitely repeatable while requiring constant buy-in without the concept of just waiting out the duration while thinking of other things. To my mind, if you want to understand a complex idea than books are easily the best method.

I'm the friend. Curiosity is hot, in every sense of the word.

Bernie is 83 and still very active, of course he doesn't see the wisdom in asking the 70 year old who is otherwise in good health to step down. This isn't the same situation as the late 87 year old Ruth Bader Ginsburg who was constantly in and out of the hospital.

These are the same people mad at "woke" games for not having white charcters. Their enormous amount of privliage has made them utterly blind to history or context.

I hate it here. 🙃

Tucker is telling MAGA that any non-MAGA republican is a fake RINO and can't be trusted.

Only those that Trump says are loyal, are actually loyal. Everyone else is sus.
