I honestly encourage the WSJ to aim for journalism more than just clicks. The shame of their recent behavior is real.

It’s true.

One of the battlegrounds of war is us, and our social media.

Speaking after the killing of Hamas’ political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran this week, Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said revenge was “our duty” because he’s a well adjusted dude with high quality anger management skills.

A thirty-five hundred year old tablet found by an excavation team in Turkey is a shopping list written in Akkadian cuneiform for a "large amount" of furniture including wooden tables, chairs and stools. No word on whether Republican VP candidate JD Vance is disappointed couches weren’t mentioned.

There are massive protests in Venezuela over the disputed election result. Nancy Ramones, a supporter of Maduro as self-proclaimed President of Venezuela, said: “I’m not protesting anything, I’m supporting my government, the one who won. Nicolás Maduro. And I’m supporting him because he is the man that represents peace.” Nancy did not go on to say, “and he will roll tanks on you to prove how much he represents peace,” but I’m sure it was implied.

In an appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists, Donald Trump said Kamala only ‘became a black person’ recently, whereas he has always been a fascist autocrat with failing cognitive abilities.

I think #wontpacdown did this ad well.

The P in GOP stands for perverts.

Project 2025 will harm everyone if we allow trump and vance to use the presidency to make its plans real.

Call your Senators and Representative and firmly tell them to come out in support of Harris for President. Leave a voicemail now and call again tomorrow during their work hours.

So to avoid an autocracy that would end elections (among other things) people are saying the Democratic Party wants to ignore the results of the primary elections to choose a candidate.

Ignore elections and votes cast to protect elections and votes yet-to-be cast, do I have that right?

We could, I dunno, stick with the incumbent who gained (depending on the poll) recently, already beat 45 once and _who the voters chose already_.

Yeah, let’s stay with Joe to victory.

Did you know #Project2025 calls for “the entirety of the CISA #Cybersecurity Advisory Committee should be dismissed on Day One.” (page 155).

If you like being able to use computers (or do anything with organizations that use computers, including have your vote counted in elections) that’s a very bad idea.
