"Plenty" was not enough. The pre-election criticism looks like it worked exactly as intended.

Which non voters are you talking about? The article is about politically engaged voters and voters who don't follow politics, both of which are voters.

You have to understand, the people who constantly attacked Harris before the election now have to figure out some way to make her just as bad as Trump, to excuse their own behavior. Is it disgusting? Yes. Is it reprehensible? Yes. Is it absolutely predictable as a means of trying to escape responsibility for the rancid shit hurricane that will be Trump Part 2? Yes.

Shifting blame by... checks notes... analyzing the demographics of voters.

Nah, man, Harambe's fine. He just really likes music.

Hey, poking my head in from Parallel Earth. You guys hear the latest David Bowie album? Dude's old, but it's fire. President Clinton used a song from it during her farewell address. I heard they played it for Harambe, too.

How so? I've been looking it over, and it doesn't seem to have any of the enshittification I've seen all over Facebook (let alone Xitter, which is made entirely of festering anus now).

Well, that's just sad. I never particularly liked Sam Bond's, but that neighborhood won't feel the same without it.

Excellent summary of the internet's potential for both help and harm. At this point, I'm not convinced the net result isn't negative.

Depends. Some countries are easier to immigrate to than others. Ireland is pretty easy, if you have relatively recent Irish ancestry. Personally, I'm looking into Canada.

You just explained precisely why I'm working on a plan to get out. This country is no longer safe for my family.

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

The Biden administration on Wednesday plans to accuse Russia of a sustained effort to influence the 2024 US elections by using Kremlin-run media and other online platforms to target US voters with disinformation, six sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

It’s expected the US will make a series of moves on Wednesday aimed at addressing the Kremlin’s efforts including the White House publicly condemning the actions and the Justice Department announcing law enforcement action targeting the covert Russian campaign, the sources said.
