The weight of our memory is much heavier than the volume of universe it displaces, so we drown unless we swim.
Yet swimming in the vortex of human experience calls for much, much more than a strong breaststroke.
Imagination, wisdom, and love are superb flotation devices.

@harris_wins AI doesn't lie.

@MattWalshBlog Daniel Larsen was repeatedly found innocent, and for years Harris and the state worked to keep him in prison. The Innocence Project helped free Larsen. Harris’ office prevented Larsen from receiving money he was owed for 13-year false imprisonment.
Is that a Left or Right issue?

@farhip @oliverdarcy Joe Scarborough: “And F you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever… if it weren’t the truth, I wouldn’t say it.”

@farhip @oliverdarcy Nichole Wallace:
“a growing and insidious trend in right-wing media … to take highly misleading and selectively edited videos of President Biden … and use those videos to spread messages virally to cast doubt on President Biden’s fitness for office.”

@jmart Which part of this is a Republican conspiracy theory?
There was a time when you would tell us.

@bungarsargon Pure politics.
She grandstanded support to Biden, knowing he was going away anyway. That under her belt, she moves on to hassling Cheatle, who's also going away soon. Both moves are an instant response to the decline of her pals in the Squad. Lots to gain, nothing to lose.

@CNN If you prompt Canva's AI text-to-image generator with the terms "election," "secret service," "Democrat National Convention," and "protest," you can get this result.
I have titled this campaign poster "Sloped Election: The New Candidate."

This is a complete demolition of CNN’s “fact checker” and his process, on CNN

It doesn’t get any better

@itsJeffTiedrich True progressives will choose whichever Democrat has taken the most ardent stand against free speech. As Justice Ketanji Brown has pointed out, it hamstrings good government.

@g0blinegg Is it my imagination or are the ruins of that structure yelling at us?

@mmpadellan Speaking of being right, this one is making the rounds again. A classic.

[David L. Pelfrey @DavidLPelfrey]

@briantylercohen You may want to rephrase your take, in light of so many rubes being shocked...shocked!... a few weeks ago that Biden is suffering from dementia. And that schtick legacy media was running to condemn anyone who suggested Biden was suffering from...well, you know that schtick.

[David L. Pelfrey @DavidLPelfrey]

@newrepublic You do see the problem with that poll, right?
The POTUS and his entire administration lied about his cognitive state for months, therefore Biden is in both categories of this poll question.
How can anyone get something so wrong at this late date?

@SystemUpdate_ @ggreenwald AOC certainly said what she thinks, to wit:
“My community doesn’t have the luxury of saying we’re gonna lose in July! They’re the first ones deported.”
All kinds of ways to interpret that revealing comment, none of them good.

[David L. Pelfrey @DavidLPelfrey]

@BillAckman @AOC AOC's adolescent fervor comes in handy when she needs to display an almost pathological desire for power and position.
Yet that leaves her vulnerable for blunders such as “My community doesn’t have the luxury of saying we’re gonna lose in July! They’re the first ones deported.”

[David L. Pelfrey @DavidLPelfrey]

@InezFeltscher She got the job, so it's weird that she continues to signal her virtue.
I mean, once you seize position or power, there's no need for decency and kindness. That's the first rule of social justice.
