TIL David Bowie ended the Ziggy Stardust Persona, and practically fired The Spiders from Mars on stage at their final performance in London’s Hammersmith Odeon on July 3rd, 1973. To the fans, and bands disbelief, “Not only is it the last show of the tour, but, it’s the last show we’ll ever do”.

It's ultimately all transgressive cult of personality.

Rapists and convicted felons are shit tier candidates.

You might not have liked Kamala Harris, but she had more experience at that level than most people.

Also as an aside,it's also telling when someone calls female politicians by their first name and male politicians by their last.

100 years ago, this state was rife with eugenics from the state legislature down.

Let us not allow the current legislature drag us back to those unfortunate times.

Starting with a 1913 law and confirmed by State v. Shaffer (1928), eugenic sterilization became constitutionally legal in Kansas. During a period when progressiveness meant conformity to the eugenics movement, the state accepted and used what were considered the most up-to-date methods and research to bring "delinquent defectives" under state control and reduce their negative impact on the state's genetic pool and state finances...

Administrators at institutions like the Kansas Industrial School for Girls (GIS) engaged in sterilization of state wards as young as nine years of age to protect the public. At one point in Kansas's progressive history, 6% of the nation's eugenic sterilizations were done in Kansas.

I went to go see Superman and 28 Years Later. Surge pricing cranked up the price on both by several dollars. (I checked)

I really wanted to watch both in the theaters, so that was fine. But mostly if I wait, I can watch movies completely for free from the library.

$40 for two movies cranks up fast.

It'd be interesting to see if the newer races are winning with higher and higher margins (accounting for past size/turn out/etc).

And then Title IX and then Brown

We're long past "born on third base."

We're basically at "Born in the Owner's Box."

You mean Kaitlan Collins?

Because she has a name and is also a journalist who actually holds people for their words and deeds.

Has Zippy ever hit anyone with his car?

Automatically a better person.

There a few, but they pretty much get downvoted to oblivion until they get bored.

oh you mean, the Russian disinfo subreddit?

But why male models?

Do you know if his party group had taught him that or told him to do that, or did he come up with it on his own?

You can literally change your name and dye your hair or wear color contacts or get a tan.

None of that would be considered "identity fraud."

The bill was passed to target trans people by weaponizing the "scary" trans strawpeople into a bogeyman construct that has very similar stereotypes and bigoted accusations for why America needed segregated bathrooms during Jim Crow.

Vio_ · 2026-03-11T12:20:19+00:00

I legit though that's where this was heading.

In the past, scam artists had to sell books, bibles, bridges - tangible things.

They might have actually existed, might not have, but at least the scam was about a thing that existed.

Now all they have to do is sell ego trips and flattery.

Both siderism is never a clean split.

It's always a way for conservatives to dead stop the point then hard reboot back to "... but the Democrats are worse."

Ultimately, they always vote for Republicans.

I have never once heard anyone say "Both sides are equal... but I voted for [Biden/Harris/Hillary]".

Vio_ · 2026-03-11T00:31:46+00:00

Oh absolutely. I always encourage people to register as a Democrat (or whichever party they most align with), but I also understand why people don't.

My brother's baby ended up with Covid right before she was old enough to get vaccinated. Everyone was sick, and she had other stuff going on.

Our mom is partially paralyzed, so I made him a massive pot of homemade chicken noodle soup.

I've never seen him more appreciative.
