Why isn't everyone pushing the idea that if, after watching the debate, you think Biden is too old or frail, we have a younger, smart, and more than totally capable (and sane!) VP to step in? I'm just not seeing that being raised much if at all in the responses.

Of course, this is why. And we should be ashamed.

@dabertime @bmacDonald94 Glad my city could help. Sadly, I fear too many greedy and bitchy co-citizens will complain, but this is what decent humans ought to do—help others in need. No borders, no hoarding.

One lovely neighbor “freed” a fabulous but leaky fountain. The fabulous neighbor took it. Now she finds it doesn’t work in her yard so I am going to get it (leak should be an easy fix). Same first neighbor had her landscaping redone a year ago and gave us a hibiscus plant. Yesterday I noticed its color just happens to perfectly match our bougainvillea.

I kind of love our hood and (most of) its people.

Not only is it a regressive tax in sheep’s clothing, it wouldn’t touch FICA, which is already unfair to poorer workers. Orange monster will only make the poor poorer and the rich richer.

Dear people writing about Alito (et al): Please point out that "return" in "return to godliness" just like "return to our Christian roots" is bullshit. In order to return, something must have been such previously. The US government was always designed to be free from religion while any of its people were permitted to practice whatever religion they chose.

@bmacDonald94 No. A female mayor was. Not the new president.

Glad to see the unions getting involved against the Vox/Atlantic AI deals

@DrPsyBuffy @bmacDonald94 In California a default divorce can be re-opened for almost any even vaguely legitimate reason up to 180 days after service of the default on the party or TWO YEARS if they aren’t served. My ex tried this (claiming I coerced him into the settlement) but, luckily, his lawyer missed the deadline. It’s nuts!

It is raining in San Diego. In late May. Oh, sure, it’s marine layer rain and will burn off later probably, but it’s still rain, not just mist. Crazy.

I'm shocked. 😐

I almost feel sorry for all the Windows-based lawyers... because they will have to switch their OS now that there is nothing even vaguely confidential about that OS.

(MS has lost its collective mind...and WTF were its in-house counsel thinking?!?!)

And yes, I know you can theoretically turn it off, but would you trust that it really was turned off? Or that MS wouldn't push it further asamfp?

If you encourage not voting for Biden, especially as if that is a noble and compassionate thing to do (like, bc he hasn't stopped the Gaza genocide), you are contributing to the death of democracy not just in the USA, but globally.

Grow the fuck up: you won't get what you want by taking your toys and stomping off the playground.

There is an employment ad in The San Diego Union Tribune today placed by Ness Dental Corporation looking to hire a dentist. Offered salary was less than $63,000. In San Diego (National City). Apparently legit (I looked up the Co.).
The average salary for a dentist here is 2-3 times that. What kind of dentist would work for that?

😬😬😬

Not sure who all need to read this but stating "I claim Fair Use" is not the magical incantation you seem to think it is. Rather, it holds the same legal value of citing Rubber v Glue.

Happy competitive romance day to those who celebrate.

@tess I'm "social responsibility" with an "existential risk" chaser.

@tess For those playing catch-up... when a venture capitalist says it (whatever "it" is) is good for us and regulating it is bad for us, the ONLY "us" involved is the super wealthy. For the rest of us, normal folk us, it's likely to be as good for us as a heaping serving of polonium pudding.

Yup. GA Supreme Court is not having any of Trump's BS.
