Am I missing something? Rubio is set to be Secretary of State. Haven’t heard much about Rick Scott except he is defending all the shitty picks

Great take, I think this nails it.

Assuming we still have free and fair elections in 2026 I suspect the Dem base will be fired up again. Question is if it will be too late.

And if you look back before fission, modern physics has a pretty well documented history. You can generally start at Maxwell, move forward to the guys who were trying to rectify the predicted speed of light vs observed speed of light, quantum physics, etc. I spent half a year getting real deep into it but you could probably teach the gist of pre-1945 nuclear physics in an afternoon

I’ve been saying this since last year to my family members on the other side of the political spectrum (some MAGA, some moderate), and I feel like I’ve been saying it til I get blue in the face, but it definitely feels like the MAGA wing of the Republican Party wants to go back to this era of German history ASAP.

just a few miles south in Castle Rock! We have our own satellite branch of ACC for the local high school.

Hey this is close to me

You won’t find that here. But I won’t be silenced about the dumb shit Dems do. Luckily it seems to be happening less this go around. Enabling the genocide in Gaza is still very bad and Biden’s administration (and possibly, by extension, Harris’s campaign) should be criticized heavily for it

How long until he chides someone for being a fascist enabler for not being a Democrat bootlicker?

I can’t stand the “never criticize a dem or you’re helping the republicans” crowd, it’s how we ended up where we are now. Dems got complacent and ratcheted to the right to appease a “broader base” (how did that work out?)… give the people strong social policies and you will win in landslides

Even a Cardassian like Damar eventually puts the logic together to realize that all the racism he and his fellow Cardassians were doing to Bajor, well, it ended up happening to them via the Dominion. You can almost watch the realization towards the end of S7 of DS9 where he realizes he will need to lead a resistance movement, which had previously contributed to the downfall of Cardassian occupation of Bajor.

To miss the message of that show, even if you watch it from a Pro-Cardassian standpoint, takes real work. The themes are served to you on a silver platter for the taking.

Well said.

Don’t get me wrong, I want to burn the Democratic Party to the ground for how they evaporated enthusiastic (mostly) young voters who were aligned with what Sanders was saying in 2016 and 2020. But I won’t allow fascism to be re-elected in my pursuit of that goal.

That is an MS Teams Room system in the conference room, it runs Windows IOT. Whoever manages those rooms should have set the working hours of the room so it didn’t apply this update during business hours. By default the system updates at 2 or 2:30 AM, I forget… so might be a weird MS bug or someone fudged up a config
