"Just today, Donald Trump claimed the crime rate has increased 43% under President Biden - IT'S A LIE!"
- AURE

President Biden is correct that violent crime is near a 50-year low

Republicans have argued that Biden is responsible for high levels of crime. He has responded by saying that violent crime has fallen. He's right.

Are people still listening to Republicans? Why? I kind of lost interest after hearing about Jewish space lasers from the lady who likes Israel so much. Ask her why she likes Israel, she doesn’t know. Because Hannibal Lecter told her to?

The crime panic needs to be pushed back against harder and more often.




I don't know what my #Linux computer is doing the past 24 hours.... my terminal's text keeps slowly shrinking. Every so often, I ctrl + scroll to bring it back, and it slowly shrinks till I can't read it again.

I haven't gone troubleshooting yet, I'm in the middle of stuff... just sharing this very very strange problem.




After borking my Ubuntu installation trying to upgrade, I simply cannot imagine being one of these distro hopper types. While it was mildly annoying to have to reinstall WiFi drivers and some software, I wouldn’t want to do it very frequently.

I still don’t quite know what happened, but it’s at least operational again from a fresh install.

perhaps it has something to do with how we are being divided against coworkers, neighbors, and friends in the smallest and slightest of ways when we ingest the messaging they condition us with.

with 300+ shootings this year this sounds like "every week" could also be true.

I liked the sentiment expressed in this one, more so than “we’re not going back”. Will look damn nice on the liftgate opposite my old Matthew Dowd “Country over Party” flag sticker from 2016.

They’re produced by a local print shop here in Dallas, that I think isn’t otherwise directly associated with the campaign.

Amazon link in the next post if you’re interested in picking up a few for yourself.

The question is whether they are safer than sugar. We accept all the dangers associated with sugar because...

In some of these many articles about the horrors of sugar substitutes they finish up with a quick paragraph pointing out the many ways sugar is bad for you. At least some attempt at balanced reporting but fear sells articles like this.

About that silly hit-piece from the WaPo "Kamala Harris ran her office like a prosecutor. Not everyone liked that."

Let's take a look at the snippet below. Who thinks it is poor leadership on the part of a VP or a boss to read your prepared material, to ask questions, to engage and discuss instead of blindly accept, to not accept frivolous praise?

These are the exact qualities real leaders have and which they instill in others.

“An update on what to expect from actual science is overdue. I often worry that when the public holds science to unrealistic standards, any scientific claim failing to live up to them arouses suspicion.”

Here’s your reminder that science is a fallible process where disagreement is a necessary feature:
