Trump and Gang aren’t the only ones profiting from MAGA superfans buying his personalized merch.

I think her older productions are worth mentioning here. I like this short:

And since no one knows where these dildos have been, protesters could be spreading a biohazard, and could be prosecuted for such.

Good point. But I’ll bet ICE dicks are worse.

That would be nice. Hopefully he won’t set her up for fall when he needs another diversion.

Ditto for higher dose flu vaccine.

A podcast about that from Microbe.TV, This Week In Virology (TWIV) Episode #1313: Audio; Video.

I’ve listened to most TWIV audio episodes since Covid hit in 2020. Most of it goes deep and is over my head, so I listen to help me fall asleep…[Read more]

Wow, is Ukraine’s drone tech industry becoming a profit center? Thank Iran.

I get the connection you’re making, but really, is there more than just the name to discredit good science in a different discipline?

I’ll take as a win, the fact that we agree about Musk.

Feature Mod Request: At the top of every page is a Forums drop-down menu. It works fine, listing forums in alphabetical order, but it truncates the listing at the “Politics Forum”. The remainder of the list, should include 21 (or more) forums.

AI says a setting for normally limits the list to 50 entries. Two of its suggested mods:

Musk has blinders on like other groups he promotes on X who have trouble separating facts from conspiracy theories. I first realized this when he completely misunderstood and discounted how rapid Covid tests work, and what can cause false positives or negatives. He ranted against them, before many people learned how crucial they would become. Now…[Read more]
PopeBeanie started the topic i think forums are back… in the forum Small Talk 3 months, 2 weeks ago

This is a new topic in small-talk, a test message for the topic, and mention of a useful feature some members will appreciate. Not to mention, but to also mention this mention, especially for @Unseen.

Useful (especially for me, found accidentally), visible when one clicks on “Forums” at the top of an AZ page: You’ll see not only a list of all…[Read more]

Trump Merch Store Closes After Low Sales Amid Iran War

That’s so tiny in comparison to his and his family’s grift and middle east partnerships capturing billions of dollars. While other, Epstein-broker-like connections (outside of pedophilia) are kept hidden, perhaps even classified as matters of “national security”? (I…[Read more]

Not fun to watch. Just posting for the historic record, during dystopian times.
Slightly under 11 minutes.

I just wrote a few paragraphs, finally seeming to be crafted for me more than you. Suffice to say in a shorter way, I used AI to summarize common usage of the word “lefty”, in a polisci context. I’m finally convinced that your usage of the word is valid. I felt defeated, at first, maybe even guilty of ignoring reality like a post-modernist…[Read more]

I immediately recognized this voice. Good memories, made me look for more of him.
PopeBeanie posted a new activity comment 3 months, 4 weeks ago

Thanks. But (lol), I think I will still call myself a lefty, even if progressive is a more respected term… and I don’t even know if that is true. So I’m *also* progressive.

I know you mean well, and I also appreciate other speakers you offer, especially the women because their experiences are so often more first-hand than the men’s.

Don’t get…[Read more]

  There is no question you have identified an issue. What did you call it, labelism? What is in a name? So many labels are LOADED. Imagine a lefty/progressive hearing MAGA or reading it. Conversely a Trump cultist who hears/reads progressive/lefty. You know the parts of the brain that register emotion are excited. If the label fits you must never…[Read more]
