  • Stop the nerd on nerd hate - if you're posting on Lemmy the chance that you are also a nerd is pretty damn high.

  • What historical concert do you wish you could attend?

    Jump

  • not a concert but a place - CBGB. It would have been really cool to frequent and see a ton of amazing bands get their start.

  • The one thing I like about the Daily Beast is that they always put his age in the title. I always read that as "here something else this old motherfucker did"

  • Mitch McConnell’s staff refuse to answer basic questions on his health

    Jump

  • Wouldn't the State of Kentucky ie the state govenment/Governor have standing to get the courts involved to force disclosure of McConnell's alive-ness?

  • I mean I think he thinks his job is to take bribes, and be a Zionist.

  • The insider trading thing got explained by Mike Johnson -

    Since members of Congess only make 174,000 / year they need to insider trade stocks to make enough money...

    Because being a politician isn't seen as a public duty anymore but a full time career

  • If you could see one statistic above every person's head, that is updated in real time and never goes away, what would you choose?

    Jump

  • or maybe between 0 and 1. that way it would be easier to see if the topic that I've decided is super interesting and won't shut up about is interesting to the to the other person as well. If I start seeing the number dropping quickly, time to change topics or just walk away.

  • Johnson Says Pentagon Needs More Money for ‘Fighting Communism on Our Own Shores’

    Jump

  • A well funded socialist organization is now going to be used to fight socialism.

  • What's the worst part about getting older that young people don't know about?

    Jump

  • when you hit about 45, your mental age is currentAge-20 years-ish but doing an activity associated with mental age can come with some surprising consequences, mostly unhappy surprises at that. But as you continue to age you start accepting who are and start making less stupid choices that are associated with how you mentally feel.

  • Alito slams birthright decision as ‘serious mistake’

    Jump

  • I will agree with that.

  • Alito slams birthright decision as ‘serious mistake’

  • Naw we really do need the court but there needs to be some big changes to it like expanding the size and putting in 18 - 25 year term limits.

  • you forgot the methane gas exhaust system

  • Price hikes pushing consumers to abandon their favorite brands

    and somehow it's all the Millennial's fault - Damn (40 year old) kids!

  • What's one book everyone should read at least once in their lifetime?

    Jump

  • One of my favorite books and unfortunately lots of the story still is relevant today.

  • What would realistically happen if universal healthcare went into effect in the US and healthcare was no longer tied to jobs?

    Jump

  • While I don't think this is a really big thought in the minds of CEO of large corporations but by tying healthcare to work it does keep potential competition from growing in the marketplace. More difficult/impossible to start your own competing produce/service without healthcare.

  • What’s your favorite “bad” movie?

    Jump

  • The Riddick Chronicles. Bad acting, bad CGI, Simple stupid inconsistent plot, one dimensional characters. perfect bad sci-fi.

  • House Democrats’ anxiety rises after wins by Mamdani-backed candidates: ‘Are we going to let them take over the party?’

    Jump

  • What's crazy is the Democrats in power could have protected their seats with just a modicum of spine when it comes to trump. Something just slightly more than a strongly worded letter would have kept many casual "I-don't-follow-politics" voters blinded. But they are so incompetent that they couldn't even do that. And now they are surprised when they get challenged on it?????

  • Top Democrat seems sour after Mamdani-backed candidates oust House incumbents

    Jump

  • yep. If they lose their primaries they lose their cash cow which is why they are scared and you can see it the way the lash out at progressive candidates. They know their fucked if there is a competent opponent.

    Jump

  • The DNC is scared. They see what happened to the old guard Republicans (centrist) they started losing to more right leaning candidates. Now those leaders are gone and we have a crazy right leaning "leadership" in power. The DNC doesn't want that to happen to them as well. Yet, I think it's inevitable, we've swung too far right and there is too much pent up anger for the centrist to keep power.
