Just the thought of DIY medicine scares me, and honestly, it's sad that such a thing has to exist.

That's a fair assessment. Kind of a bummer that the centrists won and not Cynthia Nixon.

I like those headlines as much as the next guy, but a year from now, would it surprise you if these are still the only two instances of parents being held accountable?

I agree.

But I'd wager my life savings that laws holding parents accountable will either simply be unenforced or fail to pass in most of this country.

I want it to be different but it's never going to happen. School shootings are a fact of American life whether we like it or not. That's just reality.

He's right.

They are.

It sucks, but he's right.

I saw the headline above this morning, and my first thought was that it was being done as a preventive measure in order to speed up response times for mass shooting events.

And then I read it, and no, it's meant to protect property and address theft that, depending on your source, may or may not actually be happening in the first place. It makes sense that Hochul's focus is doing potentially useless shit for major corporations in a time when her constituents are struggling to pay rent.

I also worry about having a 'sic police' button available all major stores in a state known for having a very diverse racial population.

Please read what I wrote again. The answer's already there.

Yes, I am.

And I'd suggest that you use a defense other than: "Their guy is as bad as our guy."

Electing someone who believes that we should have laws and enforce them is exactly what we should do.

That is an exceedingly euphemistic statement about Harris' career.

I don't need fake stories, myself.

To me, electing someone who is famous for prosecuting non-violent drug users and truants en masse when our government is becoming increasingly more fascist by the day seems incredibly ill-advised.

But this is America. Ill-advised is what we do. You drink the unhealthy, uber-sugary soda and just ignore how unhealthy it is because Coke slapped a picture of a Marvel superhero on the can. We've demonstrated that we care more about the packaging than the actual product.

 

I wanted to share this because it's just a fun departure away from all the doomscrolling. Enjoy!

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House on Sunday, ending his bid for reelection following a disastrous debate with Donald Trump that raised doubts about his fitness for office just four months before the election.

The decision comes after escalating pressure from Biden’s Democratic allies to step aside following the June 27 debate, in which the 81-year-old president trailed off, often gave nonsensical answers and failed to call out the former president’s many falsehoods. Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take on Trump, and encouraged his party to united behind her.
