    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Probably not by a wide margin, though. Maybe not even enough to cancel out the number of openly-trans people in the US. A bigger gap would probably come from how many more liberal women just don't bother to get married at all.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    If this was a deliberate attempt to hide specific parts from the public, it's a really sloppy one. They just cut off Article 1 halfway through Section 8 and called it a day, right in the middle of a sentence no less. Maybe that's the idea, aiming to pass it off as an honest mistake if anyone...

    Escalating anti-LGBT+ hate and the terrorism it inspires

    Nobody does anymore. "The customer is always right" has trickled all the way up to top-level management (but only if the customer is bitching about insipid things, not if they're expecting actual basic consumer protections that should be a universal human right).

    What a wild age we live in where, simultaneously, we have AI-generated fakes being passed off as products of real human labor and products real human labor being passed off as AI-generated fakes. It's like if real chess-playing computers existed side-by-side with Mechanical Turks, or if there...

    Weren't we calling for this exact same thing to happen when Republicans refused to show up for work in Oregon?

    Harris-Walz / Dems

    It is honestly amazing that people haven't figured out how to abuse it to spread misinformation yet.

    It is, however, a pretty good representation of the level of quality we'd expect to see if Trump were in charge of the automotive industry.

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    That is a pretty good way to make sure almost nobody sees it. Given the kind of business GOG is, there are probably more of their customer base on Mastodon than Facebook these days.

    Also he seems dead-set on pissing off all of Ohio, in particular. First it was Springfield, now Akron, Canton, and Columbus all in one go. Man, if there's one state you don't want to get on the bad side of if you want to become President...

    We live in a capitalist dystopia

    I'd say something about throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but frankly this sounds like the people responsible had no idea there even was a bathtub and just wanted an excuse to throw out a baby.

    OK, who else read "mysterious orange shape" and immediately had the same thought I did? 😛 I don't even need to say what it was.

    Sonic The Hedgehog

    Game Grumps actually started as a way to get footage for Arin's other show, Sequelitis, and the discussions he had with Jon were meant to be a way to get his thoughts together before writing the scripts for it. That lasted less time than it took for Jon to leave the show, and Sequelitis itself...

    It's amazing. I've never watched that show, I had no context for what scene is being parodied, and yet I still managed to guess Worf's answer on the first try.

    We have all these guns and bombs and tanks yet somehow the horrors of war seem like they've only gotten more horrific.

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    No, it was only enough if you were a Democrat. And probably still is. Because the Republicans control the media landscape, which means they decide when someone's career is "over." The only time I can recall when a Republican was ruined over something petty was all the way back in the '50s when...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    What this does is turn the general election into a traditional runoff election. Ranked voting is sometimes called an "instant runoff" because it involves casting extra votes that ultimately get shuffled around to the totals of the top two candidates. But is arguably fairer because the losing...

    You know, when I said this, I really wasn't expecting news to break the very next day that the most famous January 6 rioter, the dude with the facepaint and animal-skin hood, is now calling Trump out. But here we are.

    How does that affect screen readers, I wonder? Triggering an ADA-related lawsuit would not be a good look.
