Top 5 regrets of the dying: 1) I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me 2) I wish I hadn't worked so hard 3) I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings 4) I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends 5) I wish I'd let myself be happier
Seems like a good time to re-up this post from 2020… sciencecommunicationbreakdown.wordpress.com/2020/09/15/s...
Donald Trump was asked today what he’d do about child care if elected president. This is what he said, in its entirety:
Suggestion: remove all security guards, Secret Service agents, body guards, metal detectors, reinforced doors, etc. from courts, banks, politicians, and government offices and install them in the nation's schools. Arm bank tellers, politicians, judges, etc. so they can take care of themselves.
Lmao Tim Pool is gonna sue Kamala HQ for, uh, posting a video he deleted. He literally said everything they're quoting. Have to jail Democrats and journalists and get an AG that is willing to do it
I am currently reading Democracy Awakening by @hcrichardson.bsky.social and think it's the most important book I'll read all year. One unexpected side effect: I make a donation to the Harris-Walz campaign whenever I finish a chapter, the dollar amount based on how pissed I am at Trump and the GOP.
Today Vance said Kamala Harris can go to hell and Trump, fresh from giving a cheery thumbs-up at an Arllington grave, basically called her a whore. If you are a political reporter or editor and all you are doing is clucking about "norms," you are failing the moment, the story, and the profession.
People are making fun of Gus Walz for getting emotional during #DNC2024#HarrisWalz2024youtube.com/shorts/ruQjZ...

What he said. What they did. A powerful four minutes.
