I very seriously tried to be a no car household, I got to one car and I just walked a mile to work, rain or shine.
But my wife was a 6 minute drive from work, but due to criscrossing highways it was entirely unwalkable and like a 40 minute bus ride.
NYC, yes. That’s the yellow on the map.
Syracuse, no.
A Welshman about to traverse a steep-sided hollow at the head of a valley: “Oh baby I’m gonna cwm!”
It’s hurting in the US too. I am not a hard partisan but I would never buy a Tesla anymore because I’d be worried of being seen as making a political statement. I’m probably in the market for an electric vehicle in the next few years.
Could be Metamucil but that would mean Joe Biden is…old! Gasp! Who knew?
Or it could be Gatorade. But that would mean he didn’t choose the superior blue flavor! Impeach!
The Jon Stewart thing? They’re the two most prominent political comedians.
I don’t think it’s on purpose really, it’s just that sports is like the only case where being a trans woman could be a benefit, so it’s a critical part of the right wing attacks on trans people.
But then they just look crazy when they see there are more CIS child molesters than trans women in the Olympics, like surely if it was appropriate to be so mad about trans women dominating in sports you would have them showing up in the Olympics.
So they just had to invent a situation, and if it wasn’t the CIS woman they decided on, they would have found someone else.
Using “weird” about a comedian actually risks the whole gambit IMO. You start calling everyone weird, maybe it’s just you who is the unusual person calling everyone who disagrees with you weird.
The whole point of the attack is that the weird people are not acceptable elected officials. Keep it to people who are trying to get elected.
I thought it was a bad comedy special but it’s just wild the amount of hate I’ve seen for him and it. Like we already knew he had no idea what he was talking about on Covid, he admits as such (standard “don’t listen to a comedian for that” take that he and Jon Stewart trot out all the time). You could see it as his surrender on the topic. People seem to be taking it more as a “he’s still talking about it.”
Apparently it’s not the Last Supper but even if it was, what part mocks Christians? Like nothing in the stage direction is mocking, so it must literally just be that they don’t like drag queens.
A drag queen performing a Queen song isn’t mocking Queen. They just are a drag queen while performing Queen. I wouldn’t be offended by that as a Queen fan.
Oh yeah I didn’t think about how the nickname didn’t exist in 2020. Wild someone would have a store like this for the midterms, Biden wasn’t even running.
Gotta be from 4 years ago right? No way Spirit Halloween has rentals lined up yet.
There’s a clip somewhere of a gay guy looking direct to camera saying with that basically-clapping-between-words flamboyant energy:
“Straight men! The women you want to sleep with, want to see your thighs!”
I can never find it so the quote might not be perfect but it really stuck with me. I joked about it to my SO and she gave one of those moany approval noises meaning like “so true” so I guess the man was right.
We have to learn to better frame the issues. When Japan was ascendant, everyone projected them to overtake the US in economic power and we got all afraid and passed a bunch of protectionist rules about car imports. Think pieces get written about how their economic model was better than the US and the US is a crumbling empire.
But it turned out it was a huge real estate bubble combined with/caused by the demographic benefit coming from a boom generation going into their prime labor years and once that generation started aging out there was a real estate slump and a balance sheet recession that lasted a decade, and they never recovered to the levels everyone was projecting 10 years prior.
Now literally the exact same thing is happening with China and everyone is all shocked. Guess what, it’s going to happen again.
It’s not to say the US will never fall to 2nd place in the global order, but it’s not going to be from some country growing at 10%/year forever, that doesn’t actually ever happen.
Really? Must be service specific. Didn’t work on lemm.ee on the Connect app, not sure which is the reason.

But Slightly More Rotting Corpse has the better environmental policy which we’ll need before the last remnant of Florida is fully swallowed by the sea in the next 4 years.
Threads was because if you had an Instagram account it ported over.
Bluesky was the Twitter clone made by the old Twitter CEO.
Most people didn’t have a problem with Twitter being a corporation, they had a problem with the new owner of the corporation making the experience terrible with his new changes.
