Have you considered the possibility that Fetterman is taking one for the team by shifting sartorial standards in the Senate? He alone has the unique skill set required to move the Overton dressing room in a direction that would allow the incumbent presidential candidate to show up in PJs, and a nightcap with a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth while addressing congress, his constituents, or Vietnam.

Thanks for pointing out the Axios reporting. The Andrew Bates “This isn’t new-“ quote kind of reminds me of a conversation about a relative’s bad driving. The argument being “Forgot the string of increasingly serious fender benders, remember all the great times you had with uncle Stumble Bunny.” Seriously, why can’t the DNC understand it’s time to take the keys away.

I’m wondering how annoyed everyone’s going to be when it sinks in that it’s really Biden v trump again 😑

Or possibly worse, depending upon when Biden crashes dem-mobile: Harris v. Trump. 😳

I couldn’t be more thrilled to find out that The NY Times, best dressed John Fedderman article that I sent Kmele is still stuck in his craw.

Kinda adjacent to the Russell Brand discussion, this guy had his Amazon account shut down because a delivery driver misheard his video doorbell. This didn't just affect his purchases, his Alexa and home automation was disabled and he was shut out of his data on their Amazon Web Services platform.

Tech platforms have too much power and not enough internal or external control over their actions.

"Beware of people who tell you to beware of people. They fear you reading the work of people that could cause you to challenge them." Ibram X. Kendi 9/23/20 (https://twitter.com/ibramxk/status/1308723272067043328). This man is truly a genius and deserves at least 50 million more dollars to fund his anti-racism center.

Normally I wouldn't take up space with such an off-beat question, but there is something I just can't get out of my mind. What exactly is a shimmering tit temple?

There are more than a few aspects of our politics that remind me of the Czarists vs. the Bolsheviks, and the "being illiberal to save liberalism" is one of them. The Left seems to like to compare everything it opposes to the Czar being back in power, and that renders any criticism of them equivalent to wanting the Czar back in power.

Funny thing is I am not so eagerly awaiting the 2028 and beyond elections when we will be told that current existential threat Donald Trump was an idiot and a buffoon all along, unlike the current candidate who is "Donald Trump with a brain" and thus the real existential threat.

I’m with you there.

I’ve set up a news filter to hide any articles containing the phrase “most important election of our lifetime”.

"Dr." Kendi is the ultimate product of the lack of academic scrutiny of African American studies programs at every university in this country.
