@thisandtatt She was part of an administration that suffered inflation, so people felt worse off. She didn’t have a coherent plan on immigration. Gaza. And she wasn’t white. And she’s a woman.

A mix of prejudice and not being strong enough on the specifics, I fear.

@EdbieLigerSmith @mehdirhasan But didn’t trump warn us about this election was rigged? I don’t think Harris should accept the result until all his accusations have been investigated.

[𝕄𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝔹𝕚𝕣𝕕 @bird_mike]

@dtheavenger It is possible that a lot of voters weren’t buying what she was selling. Some reasons:
1 inflation happened on Biden’s watch. Americans feel worse off.
2 no coherent story on uncontrolled immigration (issue magnified by 1)
3 many don’t want a woman Prez.
4 she’s not white.

imagine if the yanks took this much interest in our elections. staying up late to see if transfers from the tuv will help the dup in north antrim.

As we all await the outcome of what feels like a make-or-break election, I want to offer some perspective, if you’ll hand a fellow with eight-plus decades the mic for a moment.

It is immensely reassuring to me to learn that Tolkien was a pantser.

It's so awesome that Tolkien was as astonished writing LotR as we were reading it

@rcolvile @CPSThinkTank That’s the problem with the pesky free market, isn’t it? It leads free companies to make the products and services the market demands. As in this case.

[𝕄𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝔹𝕚𝕣𝕕 @bird_mike]

@nfergus @DavidRozado @CPSThinkTank The drive for AI is a free-market activity. The content is a result of this. The models are those which best meet the needs of the market. Unless, if course, you are advocating for greater government regulation?

@RichardHanania “If we can conceive of it, it must be real.” Really? If he can get away with this line of reasoning for dragons, he can then make the same argument for God.

I can imagine the short shrift Dawkins gave this nonsense.

@AaronLionheart8 @ValerieSprague @dieworkwear Now make an ordinary person - perhaps short, perhaps a little overweight - look good dressed like this.

[𝕄𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝔹𝕚𝕣𝕕 @bird_mike]

@AaronLionheart8 @dieworkwear People are different shapes and sizes. They should be able to make clothing choices that make them look good. If, as you seem to claim, only fit supermodels can look good in business casual, perhaps we should free ourselves from the imposed tyranny of this corporate uniform.

@Otto_English Damn. I think you may have inadvertently cut off the end of his speech:

“…so give me money so that I can get rich by telling you about more untrue things with which I want to scare you.”

Remember, clocks go back tonight.

If you're a Tory, back to 1953.
If you're Reform, back to 1932.
If you're Jacob Rees-Mogg, back to 1741.

And if you're Nigel Farage, you just demand that 'Clocks Should Go Back Where They Came From."
