@BadLegalTakes When conservatives talk about "free speech" what they mean is that they should be able to say whatever they want with no back talk from people they consider to be below their station.

Great @nytimes opinion piece by Kentucky Governor @AndyBeshearKY.

Here’s a little excerpt from the piece.

Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin ended up being so close that Harris might well have won the election if she had leaned into Walz-style populism instead of Cheney-style conservatism.

@SGT_B_Dub Fired plus a criminal investigation regarding his voter "tracking"

@skdh My dad taught writing for almost 40 years, and argued that fiction needs to contain an appropriate amount of bullshit. But not too much.

I've seen him draw brackets around 2000 words and write "lard" in the margin.

@BenBurgis Trump is faschy enough that i don't think any serious people are honestly arguing that he isn't a fascist. At this point it is splitting hairs.

Ana has shitty enough positions on the unhoused, trans folks, etc, that she is problematic at best.

@BadLegalTakes "free speech" means that you can say whatever you want with no back-talk.

[Timpanogos Slim @TimpanogosSlim]

@3000Elsinore @BadLegalTakes Generally yeah. People think it's sacred and that burning it is deeply offensive, and that's entirely the point of burning it.

Did lose an ex-military friend when i argued that he didn't take an oath "to the flag", he took an oath to protect the constitution while near a flag

@ShotOn35mm @LATACO Maybe we need a law that says that judgments against police departments have to be paid out of their pension fund rather than the general fund.

After I was handcuffed and held in an LAPD patrol car for around 40 minutes for filming a sweep, Sgt. Hutchins explained that I was "detained" and not "arrested" because he determined "there wasn't a violation of the LMC code" due to my "media 1st Amendment status." @LATACO

“It was AIPAC who came after me. It was AIPAC who lied on me. It was AIPAC who was deceptive. It’s AIPAC who hurt my community” US Congresswoman @CoriBush tells @marclamonthill about #AIPAC’s influence in US elections.

Tim Walz: What if we came out in support of a simple, obvious policy that the majority of voters want?

Kamala Harris: No, you imbecile! How stupid!

Most Super-Old People are Probably Younger

The lifestyle of people who live longer than 100 years has attracted a lot of research attention. Is it nutrition? Genes? Good friendships? Mental health? Saul Newman from the University of Oxford, U.K., says that much of it is a lack of birth certificates.

His analysis reveals that the number of people above the age of 100 dropped with the introduction of birth registrations in the USA, strongly suggesting that many peoples’ ages were simply overestimated. He also noted that their birth dates tend to be divisible by five, a statistical anomaly that suggests the dates were invented. Only about 18% of the allegedly super-old have reasonably reliable birth certificates. None of them live in the USA.

I find it curious that no one thought of asking this question earlier. Maybe we didn’t want to know.
