Ever wonder #HowWeReopen? Well, there's a #BiPartisan #Plan floating around, called #TTSI, and I'm hoping we'll go #AllInForTTSI.

Roadmap website: https://t.co/p4jThsr0q3
Actual report: https://t.co/YFl5qZU4v0
And, how cool is this, a @vihartvihart #ViHart video - linked below.

Not enough time to read the report? This *fantastic* video by @vihartvihart explains #HowWeReopen in under 15 minutes, covers all essential components of the roadmap: https://t.co/yupkG5rwtb

I guess @Costco isn't at home on this site anymore (can you blame them?), but I just called, because... @rebeccawatson let me know about shenanigans regarding them not carrying #Mifepristone

@froidesprit @Proteus29293046 @ChurchofMath Thank you! This helps so very much. :)

@Proteus29293046 @ChurchofMath Yeah, I'm hoping to find out what happened. :'(

@Wendys Well, I used to go to Wendy's sometimes. I don't think I will again. (And not because I have anything against Katy Perry's music or anything, but because I have something against publicity stunts aimed at reputation washing for one of the worst people on earth, namely Bezos.)

@Oatmeal @ASmallFiction Gladly. :)

This is old, but I feel like it's worth repeating. "You are here."

@BotheredBoy Honestly, I'm kinda (but mind you, only kinda) hoping for the reverse of that. :-|

Rosenberg: What happened in 2022 is that in the battleground states, the Republicans flooded the field with polls that were usually 2-4 points more Republican than the independent polls. They ended up pushing the polling averages to the right. RCP had Republicans with 54 Senate seats.

Some of those same polling outfits that haven’t done public polling for the last two years have returned. Wick, Insider Advantage, Trafalgar, and Patriot Polling started producing polls in the battleground states, showing their results 2-4 points more Republican than all the other polling. So, it’s literally the exact same thing.

The reason it matters is it demobilizes. When we think we’re losing, we demobilize. Our voters disengage, and money dries up. The same is true for them. They want to give Trump and Republican voters the belief that the election is closer than it really is.

The second thing is if Trump tries to cheat and overturn the election results, he needs data showing he was somehow winning..

@joematisatattoo @chri5m0rgan @iamAtheistGirl Genuinely curious: how would you define capitalism, then? Because if one goes to look up "corporatism", one sure does find a lot of mentions of capitalism, and most of them are talking about overlaps, not differences. And it all seems compatible to me, yet you see a difference. ?

@Mydrryn @garland_maureen @iamAtheistGirl She was making this thing called a comparison. People in the U.S. _do_ go bankrupt with medical debt. Canadians do not. That's what she was talking about. Does that help??

we aren’t your incubators
if we want kids we will have them
if we don’t we won’t 🤷‍♀️

@_EmberGreen Just leaving aside the question of whether or not they're actually Zucchinis, something I like to make with zucchini is a stir-fry -- adding mushrooms, ginger, garlic, "black bean garlic sauce" (Lee Kum Kee), when gluten is acceptable, and random other tidbits where reasonable.

So, uhh... have y'all noticed the new setting that allows #xitter to train their #AI on your posts and interactions? Enabled by default... I disabled mine, and deleted history.

[John Rad @JohnRad15]

Absolutely not. Humans when free have generally lived in abundance of basic needs and had lots of time to use our minds and love each other and live good lives. Capitalism is a structure of class slavery imposed on the people and then maintained with a web of lies.

@jh0223418 @NorthJR79 @OD_DeLoach Why is "victim blaming is bad, actually" so hard for some people to understand?

@UncleSamWhoIAm @RealOld_Mitch @AnthonyMSeoane Not as clear as the immobilized target after the pile, with only lawn on the other side.
