What fucking difference does it make if this murderer was left or right. Pull yourself together, read a book, get some exercise, have a whiskey or walk the dog or make some pasta or go fishing or just do anything other than let this algo pickle your brain and ruin your soul

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

One of the most toxic parts of this debate is failing to define “the left." Sometimes it means fringe activists. Other times it clearly means the Democratic Party. Accusing half the country of loving murder is incredibly poisonous. Words matter, especially now.

[Quin Hillyer @QuinHillyer]

Let's get this straight, everybody: If you think that only the other side is responsible for toxic rhetoric and violence, you are dishonest. Period.

So I was in high school and this girl committed suicide. And suddenly, everyone remembered being this girl's very best friend. For a week.

But, in hindsight, it was a way to make someone else's tragedy about them.

There are seven deadly sins - pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth.

The internet spreads all of them with great efficiency.

[Lady Themis @theladythemis]

Okay internet.

Can someone tell me what this contraption I found in the floor of the 1920s home I am looking to buy is?

[Lady Themis @theladythemis]

@Brad7658 @_nomadic_soul Yup. My tolerance for X is rapidly waning. You can find me on BlueSky. Same username.

@musharbash_b Too young to be old, too old to be young, but the perfect age for drive by hits of existential dread.

@michelle_byoung True... But as a GenXer, isn't it nice just to actually be acknowledged? You lot have skated by under the radar for far too long. Come out into the sun.

@JamesSurowiecki @FRU1015 The crime of fraud in PA apparently requires that a victim suffer either physical or financial harm.

@USA_Polling GW: And we shall have a national anthem inspired by a war we will strive to forget.

Man: Will it be easy to sing, sir?

GW: No. Our anthem shall be so vocally complex that it will become tradition that only one person shall sing it while the rest of us stand in silent judgment.

@MuellerSheWrote @ElieNYC Just theorizing superficially here, but "harm" is not an element of running an illegal lottery. It is, however, an element of fraud in Pennsylvania. It might not be the worst legal strategy for lawyers who don't have much else to work with.

@nikicaga What concerns me is that we have an entire generation of new voters who have no recollection of how politics used to work before Trump.

[Lady Themis @theladythemis]

@richstarnes @HeathMayo Sounds like Republicans should start pushing for open primaries then.

[Swann Marcus @SwannMarcus89]

I'm just some asshole but apparently I have a better understanding of crisis management than anyone working for the Trump campaign

@InfoBabe31 @Natesfault @ASFleischman Bret Bair interviewed Harris on Fox mid October. https://t.co/WiP6pVC3uW

@_nomadic_soul Anyone who pushes the idea that Christians should be single issue voters on abortion is scared that if Christians took the time to actually consider all of Christ's teachings and apply them to the current political landscape, they might not vote for Republicans.
