@wdlindsy I have long thought that schools should have the kids hang out old folks every week or two, to improve the lives of both.

(Also, old people should get training in how to fall – like is taught in martial arts – so that when they do, they are less likely to hurt themselves.)

@Huntn00 And he will actually accomplish these things? Last time, we were saved by his incompetence and need to run things. This time, who knows?

@JuliusGoat I have been trying to, but these right-wingers keep striving to drag me (all of us) backwards. At least the conservatives grudgingly tolerated some progress.

@JuliusGoat Please use the correct language. Jimmy Carter is a conservative and always has been. These people are not “conservatives”, they are reactionary nihilists.

@breadandcircuses Back about 20+ years ago, executives in the auto industry saw that pickup-like vehicles were given looser emissions/fuel economy standards than cars, so they embarked on this major marketing push to get the public to want SUVs, so that they could take advantage of those lower standards. Back about 6 years ago, the US car makers simply dug out of the car market. Now all these taller vehicles make it harder and harder to use a car. Or cross the street.

@w7voa He is getting senile, yeah, yeah, try telling me that. Just try.

@YadyO MY freedom matters, fuck YOURS

(oh, and, something something something responsibility)

@tantramar@nojack.easydns.ca don't get me started on the semi-colon cancer

@nutjob4life or when fed

A group called Moms for Liberty wants to ban "offensive" books. Something about that sentence confuses me. #censorship #florida

@fkamiah17@toot.wales The smartest people in the world are the ones who can see their intellectual boundaries and listen to other people about what is beyond them. One person's vision almost always has serious flaws.

That said, if you heard it from a Tory, that is probably not how they meant it. It was just an excuse for doing nothing – excuses do not pay the rent.

@uspolitics I am furious that this worthless fuckwad is getting air at all. He makes a firm statement and finishes it with gibberish. He cannot even be arsed to lie or obfuscate, he just burbles. This has to fucking stop, now. Just shut the guy down.
