Can't be seen in public without his slutty little heels.

Fuck, I hope so - but I'm not optimistic. When Obama won in 2008 asking with the House and a super majority in the Senate, I thought "finally, the death of the Republican party. Surely they'll be forced to move to the left to have any chance of winning another election."

Instead they doubled down, created the TEA Party, and eventually got is to where we are today.

Pronounced like the G in "gif", I presume.

"Some folks are born made to wave the flag Hoo, they're red, white and blue"

Welp that sounds good enough to me, I think I'll just stop listening to the lyrics now. These boys sure are patriotic.

Yeah this is what scares me about the MAGA nut jobs. Fox News and Trump have created a monster that they can try to steer but don't fully control. When Fox said that Trump lost the election, the MAGAts fled to News Max and OANN. When Trump even hinted that people should get vaccinated, he got booed and immediately walked it back.

It's the same reason that we now face a government shutdown every few months. They've driven their base so far to the right that they now have no choice but to appease that base or be eaten alive. Once Trump's McDonald's encrusted arteries eventually give out, this madness isn't going to just die with him.

That sounds interesting. I feel like that tiny but of context would probably draw more people to see it. Not sure why they kept it all mysterious.

Any idea on what the movie is actually about? I saw an interview with Aubrey Plaza where they asked her and she gave a very vague answer.

This is how my wife uses The Carousel of Progress when we go to Disney World.

Of course it is. God dammit.

That would all be paid DLC if made today.

I had a conversation with someone last night after the debate who said "I don't trust Democrats not to take away our right to own guns, which is the cornerstone of all of our other rights. But I hate Trump with a passion. So I think I'm going to sit this one out."

I mean... I guess that's a start? But still crazy to me that people have this idea that electing a Democrat means that their guns will be taken away. Biden is current president and they still have their guns. So kind of a weird argument.

There's an issue with posts not showing as read on newer instances of Lemmy.

 

I've been using Sync for Lemmy for a year or so, but very recently (within the last day or so) links have stopped showing as read when I click on them and then go back. I tested this with a lemmy.world account and don't have the same problem.

I saw a post saying sh.itjust.works was updating to Lemmy v19.5 a few days ago. I'm wondering if maybe it caused a problem or if it's just me having this issue.

Thanks

...and it isn't Denver. Has that ever happened before?
