The conversations no one really wants to have because the moment someone asks questions about geriatrics who clearly and evidently can't function, it's the yells of "you ageist asshole." Well, enjoy your kakistocratic gerontocracy then.

@BalooUriza

I see the #RealOwners are saying the quiet part out loud again.

Meanwhile, in the #BadEconomy, on the high costs of car ownership in the U.S., but you need to have one because you know, the shithole country we live in would rather die in debt than setting up decent public transportation.

Legacy admissions are crucial to America's higher education dominance https://thehill.com/opinion/education/4144869-legacy-admissions-are-crucial-to-americas-higher-education-dominance/

Translation: Congress poised to do a favor to their #RealOwners. Fuck the public.

And speaking of polls. TBH, people may say that but keep voting for same damn duopoly. If they did as they said, yea, a 3rd party could have a chance. Difficult? Yes. Impossible? No.

Again, usual poll caveats apply.

Most say Biden, Trump not ‘fit’ for presidency, nearly half could vote third-party: polls https://nypost.com/2023/07/21/americans-dont-want-biden-or-trump-for-presidency-polls/

US Asset Managers Have ‘Significant Investments’ in Nuclear Weapons and Cluster Bombs: Analysis https://scheerpost.com/2023/07/19/us-asset-managers-have-significant-investments-in-nuclear-weapons-and-cluster-bombs-analysis

I can hear the #CosmicJoker cackling. After all, the business of America is business (as a #PartyOfStupid member told me once). In case you wonder why the U.S. is so ready and willing to export cluster munitions.

#RealOwners #BadEconomy

If this damn country got their act together, and people put some will and drive, we could have more than the two parties. But it is easier to whine than to line up and vote for a different option. Difficult? Yes. Impossible? No.

P.S. if you are a defender of the duopoly, don't come bothering. I DGAF.

Three private universities in California universities acknowledged to the state that in recent years they admitted some legacy students who did not meet their minimum admissions requirements

Just "some"? Wow, shocking.

Another look at that study on the decline of news appetite.

Sharp decline in appetite for news in recent years, Reuters Institute says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65880999

Gee, I can't imagine why. TBH, these days I do limit my exposure to news as much as possible. I read certain news sources via my RSS once a day, and when I am done, I am done. I don't even watch local news other than for the weather if ever, and I have not watched CNN or any other news channel in eons. Don't miss it either. (c)
