@pzmyers Is it "go be poor somewhere else"? That seems to be the Republican plan for homelessness everywhere.

From an article about electing the president by popular vote:
"The upside to the swing state system is that it forces national campaigns to focus on the diverse regional interests of places like Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Mexico instead of simply trying to appeal to the entire nation all at once."
So it's a *feature* of the current system that some states matter more than others?! Are you fucking kidding me?

Tiens, j'avais jamais remarqué, dans "Les Aventures de Gérard Lambert" de Renaud:
"Alors, pendant une demi-heure
Dans son moteur il tripatouille
Il est crevé, il est en sueur
Il a du cambouis jusqu'aux coudes
Dans le lointain le jour se lève comme d'habitude"
"coudes" rime pas avec "tripatouille".

Looks like #trump fucked up so bad with his Jesus cosplay that even BillDo won't defend it: https://www.catholicleague.org/pope-and-president-clash/
"Trump does not help his case by posing as Jesus blessing a bedridden man; he released this Truth Social picture after he criticized Leo. It is offensive and immature."
And that's the paragraph after the one where he praises mass deportations.

@scalzi You know we’re all going to be scrutinizing the displays in future SF movies and TV shows to see if we can spot one of these, right?

@ChanceyFleet In an instance of the road cut effect, I, a sighted person, like captions on Mastodon because they highlight the parts that the poster thought important, and what they want to draw attention to.
