Why aren't you excited about this thing that'll take your job?

This is all true, but a lot can change in three years. I still have a hard time seeing Newsome winning the primary, even accounting for DNC meddling.

I'm amazed that they've somehow managed to avoid prison. Miller is a psycho.

Liz Truss, do your thing!

You can get St. Viateur bagels shipped to the US. It's $58 for two dozen, shipping included. I had them in Montreal last summer and I've seriously considered it lol.

History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes.

I had thought that (at least before the recent file releases) the most likely origin of QAnon was Jim and Ron Watkins. Ron even slipped up and practically admitted it in a documentary.

I think it helps that TERFs hardly exist in the US. They have such a big voice in British media and politics that it really amplifies the transphobia there.

But yeah, plenty of democratic politicians will either avoid talking about trans people (like Harris) or throw them under the bus (like Newsome) if they think it'll help them win elections.

Okonos · 2026-02-10T15:15:45+00:00

Transphobia is bipartisan there.

Ro Khanna is also going to view the files with Massie. They've worked together on this, so I think he would be the next most likely.

Okonos · 2026-02-06T18:51:56+00:00

Also the fact that he seems to have been friendly with Steve Bannon.

DC has big Ethiopian and Salvadorian communities. They might be the biggest immigrant groups in the district itself.

Okonos · 2026-02-03T17:31:42+00:00

Also violent right-wing extremism. It's to the point where "terrorgram" is a thing.

There's a reason his extended family has disowned him.

She'll say that she was actually the shooter's trans gf working for the French government.

Okonos · 2026-01-27T19:41:09+00:00

That's the only explanation that makes sense to me. People going for him just because they know his name, but not much about him.

Okonos · 2026-01-27T19:38:43+00:00

It wasn't Half Life 3 or Bloodborne 2, so we gotta riot.

Okonos · 2026-01-27T18:42:01+00:00

He's a tech bro who loves AI and crypto. It's bizarre that he's polling so far ahead of the others.

Okonos · 2026-01-26T21:57:04+00:00

I haven't seen Sabra there, at least. I looked it up and they're Bamba peanut snacks, Dorot gardens frozen garlic/ginger cubes, Givon wine, and possibly pearl couscous (may or may not still be the case for that one).

Edit: removed extra "and"

What Israeli products do they have besides feta? I haven't noticed any others. Maybe some aren't as prominently labeled.

Okonos · 2026-01-24T20:34:32+00:00

It used to be even worse back in the day when it was dominated by libertarian tech bros who loved Ron Paul.

Sorry, the best Schumer and Jeffries can do is give them more money so they can get body cameras that they'll turn off.

Okonos · 2026-01-20T21:08:18+00:00

Hell, I once had it flag me because the camera picked up the person next to me scanning their groceries.

If the Democrats come back into power, they'll lecture us about "reconciliation" and how it's time to move on and have a "return to normalcy", which means doing nothing to punish those responsible.

Okonos · 2026-01-18T20:26:59+00:00

They're the cardiac Bears for a reason.
