lol, for boys it was definitely the “water snake”

Absolutely insane how creative a hard-up young’un can get.

After talking to a few honest (or tipsy) women about their early sexual discovery I know the high likely hood of that Micky Mouse electric toothbrush getting absolutely violated.

The three big branches around me have well stocked maker spaces. I see young classes in there all the time.

Some have seed selections for gardeners. Many assist with tax preparation. I’ve heard of a few who lend music equipment (think mixers, PAs, synths) for musicians who can’t justify going all in getting their own gear.

Libraries are fucking rad.

It’s subtle but it seems like RFK is only siphoning off Trump support. Makes me wonder if he’ll drop out suddenly the more that becomes apparent.

“We have the chance to save U.S. democracy and rule of law, to elect the first woman President of the United States, and to send TFG packing. By contributing to Kamala Harris’s campaign via this portal, we can also encourage her to create a distinct presence on Mastodon, not mediated by Threads or any other social media provider.”

Promoting Mastodon isn’t even a tertiary goal. It’s just an “also encourage”. The primary goal is fundraising for a political candidate.

Oh-oh-Omega Mart

You have no idea what’s in store for you-u-u

Well he lost my vote

More cushions for the …

Is that how you make glue?

Adopting children from US Foster Care systems actually come with perks (guaranteed Medicaid) and a stipend of sorts. Adopting newborns can cost $50k. It’s wild.

I say that only because the lift effect may not actually turn it into a locked swing state. NC has been more lean-right than a true swing state so it’s, in my mind, riskier than picking the PA governor for the reasons that you highlight. But regardless, I think any of Shapiro, Cooper or Kelly would be a great balance to the ticket and i would not at all be disappointed with any of them. Honestly it’s an embarrassment of riches with regards to potential VPs and a great position for Democrats.

Welles just killing it lately.

That’s why they always change the measure of success to just hurting The Other. It’s cheap and easier than solving problems.

Because it’s not a good idea. They select him and don’t convert Republican voters, lose a good portion of the progressive base and only get marginal, less reliable, swing voters with that move. That’s at least a ten point loss right there.

It’s going to be a safe bet like Josh Shapiro or, slightly less safe, Cooper.

This is a general observation that no matter who is running as a the Democratic presidential candidate in America there will always be a concerted effort to undermine their viability and general reception.

This has been happening since John Kerry in 2004

I’m so sorry for that.

I agree with you on people working in election offices having integrity by and large but the Ohio Republicans did actually try to pull a fast one this election cycle. Fortunately DeWine knew it was beyond the pale.

You’re absolutely correct. I was under the assumption that states pre printed ballots based on the presumptive nominees. Apparently states that do that are being naughty/cutting corners.
