THERE ARE DOZENS OF US!

Is that someone pole dancing in a pond??

Nice

As someone who struggled with analog clocks into my twenties, being able to see the hands move gives me a better sense of time passing and I remember reading stuff that supported that. I have a better sense how much time I have left for something looking at analog vs digital basically and it’s a fairly common experience apparently

Larpers larping as other larpers, the dork layers run deep…

I knew I’d seen something similar!

Fair, the wording of “people powered” probably isn’t really accurate, more like “people really seem to like her and there’s positive, growing support among the public”. As you said though, in the end it feels like politicians just end up following corporate money’s orders.

Kamala has a swell of positive public opinion that I hope she can ride to the presidency. I just hope she doesn’t squander all that good will later on.

Yeah, that’s about when. Heck, I know a lot of people who are still really into Obama. Not sure about the general sentiment in the US but just about every person I know not living in the US still think of him as the best US president, except for the rare Trumper. I think he generally did a good job of charming the international scene despite everything

As a complete outsider, not living in the US but with family there, it does feel like people are more excited about her than they’ve been for any US politician in a good while. Maybe not people powered but there’s definitely more positivity overall compared to Joe as candidate.

Ah, they’re digging their own graves!

Saw this like three times before I realized. Am dumb

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie

That was my first thought too; would this improve treatment for serious burn victims and such. Sounds like what they’ve made is better overall for sticking to applied surfaces and moving without tearing. Heck, maybe this could even lead to prosthetics that allow physical sensation

I imagine this is the kind of sentiment that really scares the Israeli government and probably the people of Israel. Most people didn’t really care before but now everyone has an opinion on Israel and it’s generally not good. Potential political isolation aside, the social isolation’s gonna be a big problem for them too.

Most moral army in the world

Bad times tend to pass. I find myself forgetting in the moment sometimes and yeah, life is frequently enjoyable in lots of different ways, so I try to remember that.

IIRC, that was part of the deal buying this and part of what made it so expensive and unique. News article at the time talked at length about the secrecy aspect. Kinda dumb IMO but I understand a super fan wanting to own something like this. The fact that this A hole bought it instead then immediately broke contract…

Yeah, they’re great! I remember first reading about them well probably over a decade ago. They do amazing work.

They’ve legitimately done a lot of good in the fight for freedom of/from religion and separation of church and state. I’m not sure what the argument is because even though I called it “shenanigans” their actions have had tangible effects in the fight against religious extremism so I would call it better at least then just letting the religious zealots have their way. There’s a great Stuff You Should Know podcast episode about them and some of the work they’ve done if your interested

Genuinely looking forward to the Satanic Temple shenanigans over this one. A competing Satan infused curriculum would be fun
