So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

I'm definitely up for the series finale of the Donald Trump saga being the one where he loses to a Black woman.
I like to imagine that Joe Bidenβs going to use his new-found freedom and his presidential immunity to go on an absolute killing spree. Four months of non-stop malarkey. Untouchable, beyond remorse, beyond the law. Fear the rise of Dark Brandon.
Newsom is my governor, and I love him, but he can't be VP. He'd drag the ticket down. He's too San Francisco for most of the country, and too corporate for the extreme leftists. He'd be attacked from both sides.
Which white male below the age of retirement will be VP on the Harris ticket?
(this instance is limited to 4 options)
The most important thing to me this November is that Donald Trump loses, but it would also be pretty damn cool to have a Black woman president. So let's do this.

Cheney is horrible. She's a broken clock that happened to be right, once. She's still Darth Cheney's daughter and a Republican.

And, while I have concerns about US voters and their history with women leaders, it's overshadowed by the knowledge that post-Roe is THE defining issue for a significant portion of voters. And who better to represent a woman's choice than a woman candidate?

I will never forgive The New York Times for bringing this to pass. They violated the journalistic norms they claim to uphold in their vindictive campaign against him. They hounded him out of office. They'd best not crow and they'd best not do the same to Kamala Harris. But I have no faith they can restrain themselves. Same to the Post.
Eviscerate that criminal on the debate stage from asshole to toupΓ©e, Madam Soon-to-Be-President. We got you.
I have every confidence that Republicans will do whatever they can to screw things up.
I would like to confidently announce that I have no idea what will happen and no idea whether the result of today's news will be good or bad. Follow me for more.

Harris has my vote, and my donations.

My field is fairly technical, and someone in HR likely knows nothing about any job I'd be qualified for. So it's all down to buzzwords, and a guessing game - which buzzwords might the technical manager have written down and told the HR wonk to look for?
If I've guessed right, I get an interview, or a phone call to get more information. If I've guessed wrong, I get a letter thanking me for wasting both our time, but "we're still exploring our options."
Poll after poll finds majorities want #Trump to withdraw. That info's in the 14th or 15th graph of every write up of a poll showing that Biden's unpopular.
Trump's unfavorables, 54%, are 2 pts better than Biden's 56% in 538's avg.
Most people wanting the convicted felon not to run just isn't a story for some reason. Shit like his "black outreach" gets more coverage.
But people are still in denial about the media's role in this mess.
The effects from climate change are harming many populations, but there's one group of animals that is thriving: cephalopods. This is an amazing story about the resilience of octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish. I am ready for octo-world! https://www.mbl.edu/news/what-can-cephalopods-teach-us-about-adapting-climate-change
Nearly half of the voters in this country want an adjudicated rapist to hold office again.

Got all the way through the Constitution and did not find the provision whereby the South African oligarchs select the vice-presidential nominees on behalf of the Russian dictator.
As reporting suggests that Biden plans to support reforms to the Supreme Court, new polling indicates that most Americans, viewing the court with disapproval, support age and term limits. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/17/most-americans-support-supreme-court-reforms/
