    Folding Ideas' new video is a great historical takedown on the young earth creationist "folk science" efforts evolving to absurd "never back down no matter how obviously wrong you are" conservatism, and the fun little schisms within that environment that we arent party to as outsiders

    Bc of expected tariffs? It's going to be funny when companies raise prices bc of tariffs that never come and they just keep the higher prices anyways. Finding excuses to raise prices is the go to since "supply chain."

    I don’t understand why landed goods would have a tariff related price increase already? That’s fear based price gouging and you shouldn’t buy from that company

    I deal with over 275 vendors in the construction industry and have not seen anything tariff related yet from any manufacturer

    It would be funny if Trump sued them considering his name was never mentioned. We've elected a few rapists in our past, pick one and say that's who you were referring to.

    Due to a recent court ruling, don't select "Yes" to the application question that asks if you have eligible immigration status if you:

    • Are a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient or have a certain eligible immigration status, AND

    The Texas speaker race is insane. Two extremely right wing candidates both claiming they have the votes (76) but neither does.

    There are 88 republicans

    Cook (the Dan Patrick candidate) is topped out at 60 votes.
    Burrows (the one getting a few dem votes) is topped out at 70 votes

    Both are promising to eliminate all Democratic chairs which is essentially the last little bit of democracy left in Texas politics.

    If the Texas Dems were in any way unified they could pick the speaker, instead some are sitting out the vote, some are voting for burrows even though he wants to eliminate them from any power, and some are voting for a dem who has no chance.

    I’d move if I could but it’s just not realistic for me right now. At least Nashvilles government tries to maintain a blue dot in the state even with all the chuds moving here.

    Our mayor finally got a mass transit plan passed. So I guess we have that going for us.
    I’m sure the state will find some way to block it.

    Also, that shit sucks. We are just lighting the environment on fire even more so for these damn data centers.

    4 tweets in thread, I know it's easy to shit on Dems but this acknowledges the problem I'm not sure how anyone could solve with the current electorate. Legit how do you compete against literally decades of propaganda about Trump? In the Harvey Weinstein PBS Frontline doc "gossip columnist" AJ Benza (aka massive lowlife) acknowledges Weinstein would give dirt on tons of other celebrities to cover up misdeeds, feels like that how it went for so many other people or Trump would've been acknowledged as a business joke decades ago.

    Disagree. I think Dems have tried to fight this assuming that people would care that the treatment was unfair and/or inaccurate. Large swaths of the electorate are staying home or voting against them because they don’t care that the President Elect is calling the media the literal enemy of the people and threatening the shit out of them.

    In my opinion, Dem politicians and pundits need to take a page out of that book and aggressively blame the media for exactly those problems to their faces. Stop the goddamned correspondent’s dinner. Stop being chummy with the very groups that are unraveling shit.

    I don’t think a single thing is going to make a difference on its own, because we’ve gotten where we are based on a ton of different issues over decades. Still, I think the better plan than continuing the current status quo.

    I think devaluing them further is a better plan than continuing to prop them up while they dismantle what’s left.

    We’ve known all of this stuff about Trump since 2015, and even before in many such cases.

    He has completely transformed the way every annerican interacts with information in the last decade. And not in a good way. Now the tech bros are just going accelerate it.
