This Arlington Cemetery campaign event gets way worse. It turns out that #DonTheCon was prohibited from attending, so MAGAt Mike pressured the Pentagon to let him in. I have no idea why that little worm MAGAt MIKE has any say in the matter. It's WEIRD. #DonTheCon isn't POTUS and has no official juice AT ALL so it's also WEIRD that he was allowed to attend this event. He had PLANNED a campaign op. This pig should be sued for the campaign videos he has posted on TikTok. F*cking disgusting.

Only because I could post stuff like this all day and never tire of it.

Trump campaign = a rollicking, daily dystopian shitshow.

I spent a couple of hours on a windows pc that was working fine but refused to update itself.

Then Helpdesk sent an actual person to help. Another hour has passed. It looks like we might have got it now but it’s still doing something mysterious.

I don’t quite understand how we got to the place where #Microsoft controls so much, so badly.

The old season is dying and the new season struggles to be born. Now is the time of very small spiders

“Moving a case to a hearing without interviewing students for their version of events is an unprecedented move, and likely a sign that the university is caving to external pressure from Congress, said Katherine Franke, a professor at Columbia Law School. She has spent the summer advising students facing discipline for protests.”

_Unprecedented_!

“Those are calculations you make,” said Wysong, who now oversees O’Rourke’s voter registration PAC, Powered By People. “We made a calculation of trying to turn out as many Democrats as humanly possible who typically didn't vote, and they're playing more to moderates. … They're certainly going to have to outperform the presidential [ticket], so that undoubtedly is going to involve persuasion.”

“The conflation of these two types of studies is problematic because it does not make sense to consider a 5-minute exposure to Facebook measuring momentary mood with a 3-week abstinence from social media measuring risk of clinical depression on a validated scale to be measures of the same effect.”

Election 

Intimidation, hatred, anger and threats work to keep people from reporting crimes, keep people from voting, keep the press from accurate/hones reporting. The orange fat bastard use all to his advantage and will ramp up the threats and intimidation through his supporters and goons as the election approaches. That is how he wins.

We have to find a way to stand up to the threats and intimidation, make them back off, and make sure everyone has a chance to vote. That is how we win. The fat bastard and his people are bullies and cowards - turn on the light and expose their tactics. If we cannot do this, and win, the next knock at the door may well be the equivalent of the brown shirts, and death squads.

You think indirection is only a computer problem? Pshaw.

I spent 30 minutes on the phone to Lowe's customer service which entailed the customer service rep filling out a form to submit to a customer response team who had to contact a search team to find a customer service rep who knew how to find someone who might be able to handle the problem.

This source is better. But then again, any source is better than Mediaite.

Sorry about that last boost. Mediaite is pure rubbish.

Y’all, I saw the funniest thing on the Reddit today.
A young man claimed he couldn’t wait on hold for his food stamp redetermination so he got “AI” to hold for him, except it did his redetermination interview for him and made up all kinds of income and assets so he lost his benefits. 😂😂😂

He claimed he used this site. Hahahhhaa
