Stardew Valley.

Hot take (apparently): Women deserve to be taken seriously.

Assuming this isn’t satire… It really depends on where you’re going. Assuming you’ll be in a big city, I’d say it’s pretty comparable to London. Don’t go walking along vacant streets at night, or during the day if the area gives you bad vibes. Avoid confrontation with anyone looking to start some shit. In big crowds I like to keep my wallet and phone in a front or otherwise harder-to-access pocket.

All that being said, most tourist areas are quite safe.

Is that not in tandem with Trump voters’ shift to Russia? “I’d rather be Russian than a Democrat” and Trump voters talking about plans to immigrate to Russia if Trump lost are things I seem to remember in recent years.

My original point was not to claim that Republican politicians necessarily care about what their base wants, but they do seem to understand that they have to at least campaign heavily on populist issues to get elected. And that disloyalty to Trump is met with rabid outrage from their base.

Kevin who?

Whether you like it or not, you can’t say members of the Republican party are not beholden to their voters. Can’t say as much for the Democrats, which is why they keep losing.

FWIW she actually didn’t back out with the moderate candidates before Super Tuesday. She did after splitting the progressive vote between her and Bernie, giving Biden the win.

It’s only been a week since he was elected. Dude’s not even in office yet and there’s already shock and scandal coming from his own party. This is going to be a very long four years…

Will be writing my reps later today and I sent a few bucks to Bernie since I figure what better way to tell a politician they’re barking up the right tree?

I know online petitions are generally cringe but if there was one backing up Bernie’s stance here and telling the Dems to get their heads out of their own asses, I’d sign it in a heartbeat. If other people feel similarly, maybe we should get the ball rolling? Best case Dems get the message, worst case we waste our time and nothing changes, right?

I finished my bottle of Laphroaig 10 on election night :⁠-⁠\

Cries in American

Twist: They’re alive. And they’re angry. Choose your weapon.

Sweet potatoes. Something about them made me gag. Every Thanksgiving a heaping pile of them would wind up on my plate and I’d have to power though or else face the wrath of my grandmother.

Nowadays I love them. Dunno when the switch happened.

USB-C has changed the entire game. It’s a completely different game now. It’s like Yahtzee vs Uno. Or like Call of Duty vs Microsoft Flight Simulator. Remember playing freeze tag or dodgeball? Well it’s not like that anymore. Now it’s like playing soccer.

How do you get a full-year’s pay after getting fired?

What do you expect in this economy? Groceries aren’t the only things being hit by inflation.

I see a brown smudge with some letters under it, I don’t know what it says though.

You can certainly harbor contempt for the American people who choose such a morally bankrupt coalition while also recognizing that the oppositional movement has repetitively failed to inspire its own voter base to turn out.

The fact remains that the Dems have thrice now run on a platform of unity and forsaken the will of the Left in an attempt to appeal to those who would happily annihilate the Left in pursuit of its own goals.

I did it. Now what?

And yet despite all the warning signs his hubris disrupted the democratic process and progressives were once again told to fall in line and back a candidate who campaigned on appealing to the center-right.

The Dems have let down the American people, again.
