- Comment on Effort to Keep Biden on the Ballot in Ohio Stalls Out Ahead of Deadline: Ohio’s Republican secretary of state said Legislature had until Thurs to fix procedural issue with President Biden’s nomination 2 days ago:
Real fucking genius shit that they just keep depending on the states to pass temporary measures each time this is an issue. “Am I so out of touch with the scheduling of my convention? No, it’s the states who are wrong.”
- Comment on Schools in One Virginia County to Reinstate Confederate Names 2 days ago:
But opponents swore that Stonewall Jackson would be revived. And on Friday, he was. “When you read about this man — who he was, what he stood for, his character, his loyalty, his leadership, how Godly a man he was — those standards that he had were much higher than any leadership of the school system in 2020,” said Tom Streett…
What he, and the confederacy, stood for was slavery. Fuck you and the supposed God you think is okay with slavery, Tom Streett.

- Comment on If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible? 4 days ago:
They aren’t victims, but they wish they were. They’re awful people who want to be openly awful to others to feel better about themselves, and fox “news” lets them indulge their awful impulses and emboldens them to be the awful people they want to be. Then when they get confronted for being awful, they play the victim instead of learning to live and let live.
Obviously this isn’t true of all fox viewers or religious people, but I have been thinking about this lately as our new dynamic. It’s not supposedly about the best way to help people anymore (and what we can/can’t or should/shouldn’t do), it’s now one side that still supposedly wants to help people and one that has given up the pretense entirely and only stands for cruelty.

- Comment on Why IBM employees in Brazil are suing to be classified as tech workers 2 weeks ago:
Unions in two Brazilian states are suing IBM in an effort to be recognized as tech employees, giving them access to better wages, benefits, and profit participation.
Sounds like IBM save on wages, benefits, and profit sharing by not doing what otherwise is so painfully obvious it should already be the case.

- Comment on The Onion Is Sold by G/O Media | The satirical news website was bought by a new firm in Chicago that took inspiration for its name, Global Tetrahedron, from a book written by The Onion’s staff. 2 weeks ago:
The Onion, which started in 1988 in Wisconsin as a weekly satirical newspaper and later became a website, is known for its parodies of current events. For the last decade, it has republished the same headline after nearly every mass shooting: “‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens.”
It’s really sad that reposting that headline is what they’re prominently known for (based on its placement near the top of the article). Not sad for The Onion, mind you, but it is sad nonetheless.
