There are way more of us than there are of them.
I fear we are at the point where our numbers no longer matter. Protests will be met with violence from the state. The military will be used against political rivals. The populace will be given a mold and will be punished for breaking out of it.
I’ve been looking into options. Spain has my interest.
“Americans” did win their country back. We aren’t welcome in it anymore.
not all of you americans are piece of shit bigots
Australia’s kindest affirmation.
“The rule in question, known as Bredt’s rule in textbooks, was reported in 1924. It states that molecules cannot have a carbon-carbon double bond at the ring junction of a bridged bicyclic molecule, also known as the “bridgehead” position. The double bond on these structures would have distorted, twisted geometrical shapes that deviate from the rigid geometry of alkenes taught in textbooks.
…A paper published by UCLA scientists in the journal Science has invalidated that idea. They show how to make several kinds of molecules that violate Bredt’s rule, called anti-Bredt olefins, or ABOs, allowing chemists to find practical ways to make and use them in reactions.”
I would die happy if I could watch an animated adaptation of Worm from the Parahumans universe. Live action would be cool, but I think a series in the same vein as Invincible would work well and could represent the source material better.
We’re trying 😭
I guess the point is that if a charismatic person steps into the void, the machine already has momentum. Doesn’t need to be one of those 3, necessarily. Hell, most people didn’t know who JD Vance was before he was picked for VP, and he’s slowly gaining support even though he had a rocky start with the charisma of a wet napkin.
They will rally behind anyone angry enough at the right people. Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, Ron DeSantis, just to name a few.
We will need to fight against fascism after we elect Harris for a long time.
“This is absolutely false,” Pfeiffer wrote in an email. “President Trump never said this.”
The only part that libertarians / conservatives will care about.
Joker: Folie à Deux.
The first movie was not about Joker, it is about Arthur. Joker is the unfortunate identity he takes on as a result of the events of the first film. But at the end of the day, he was just a guy. He was delighted but bewildered at the people rallying behind him.
!Folie a Deux picks up is after the police inevitably apprehend Arthur. He is on medication, and speaking to a mental health professional regularly. He doesn’t want to be Joker, but everyone around him expects him to be. The tragedy of the ending is that Arthur rejects the love and admiration he has earned, knowing it will not redeem him to the people who hate and fear him now. He chooses to be completely alone and powerless to stop hurting people.!<
As far as the musical numbers went, they were infrequent and clearly a representation of the connection between Arthur and Lee. There was at least one scene where we view Arthur from the perspective of onlookers after he finished singing and dancing, but all they saw was him staring at a TV or something. I always felt like the songs added to character development, but even if they weren’t your thing they were brief and heavily outweighed by scenes with just dialogue.
Can you imagine
The fluffiness of the animal is kind of irrelevant? Rats and pigeons are generally perceived as potential disease carriers, regardless if they are more likely than squirrels or doves to carry.
What color was the ball?
Grey, I suppose? It wasn’t important until this question so it was kind of colorless, even though I could picture it.
What gender was the person that pushed the ball?
Androgynous.
What did they look like?
Nondescript.
What size is the ball? Like a marble, or a baseball, or a basketball, or something else?
A bit larger than a softball.
What about the table, what shape was it? What is it made of?
It was a rectangular table. It shifted from being smooth and grey to a lightly finished maple, then back again.
Important question:
I didn’t really think about these details until asked.
In all fairness, the article says the Nazi flag boat was hosed down when they tried to join the parade.
It still says a lot that our political climate let them think this was okay, but the people at the rally were not okay with it, or at least weren’t okay being that obvious.
Call Her Daddy: title of a podcast
Question: what did going on this podcast do for Harris?
Answer: allowed her to reach young women in middle America that conventional news sources would not.
We need a new word for people with all the phobias. Bigot has lost its oomph, the pizaz, the gravitas.
30mph (48kmh) is the minimum, cars will also be going faster than that. Also, people need to cross the street, not just walk alongside it. Regardless, whether drivers or pedestrians are the issue, accidents happen. They are more likely to happen, and more likely to be fatal as vehicle speed increases.
From the Institute for Road Safety Research, page 2:
“According to an overview of recent studies (Rósen et al., 2011): at a collision speed of 20 km/h nearly all pedestrians survive a crash with a passenger car; about 90% survive at a collision speed of 40 km/h, at a collision speed of 80 km/h the number of survivors is less than 50%, and at a collision speed of 100 km/h only 10% of the pedestrians survive.”
Areas with minimum speeds of 30mph in areas with pedestrians accept that at least 1 in 10 will die. This is easily reduced to negligible fatalities by having lower speed limits. Not doing so says we care more about saving some of the drivers’ time than the lives of pedestrians.
My thoughts aren’t in a language, so this always confused me as a benchmark.
That is unfortunate, but also Tuesday in parts of the US. I’ll be on the lookout for a racially diverse, lgbtq+ friendly, left leaning country with socialized medicine and good educational systems, but I may need to compromise somewhere to escape in a timely manner.
