Way back in 5th grade I wrote to then-candidate Al Gore about how I thought climate change was a problem and my views haven't changed so for me this election was always a no-brainer. All the other issues won't really matter if we're all starving and/or burning to death.

I thought this site was getting unusable before, but since that debate it's just been plummeting at mach 5 huh?

Completely anecdotal but the people I keep seeing portend doom for Biden in leftist circles are the same types who will not drop the idea that Bernie Sanders only lost due to some vast DNC conspiracy in both 2016 and 2020.

Boy the debate and the reaction is such a crystallization of the two parties. Biden has a rough night: Democrats in full on panic and quickly self-sabotage. Trump says insane untrue stuff: Republicans prepare to fight for him until death with full confidence.

Twitter and Reddit will swear this is the end of Helldivers 2 just like they swore Netflix's move to stop account sharing would be the end of Netflix. How'd that work out, by the way? 95% of people will not care about making another account among the dozens they already have.

Hey just wondering what happened to that "critical race theory" thing that was all the rage to scream and panic about for several months?

There has got to be someone way up in northern Maine who genuinely has no idea that there's an eclipse today. I can picture a man in faded jeans and a flannel driving his truck into town puzzled by all the traffic and people.

Visiting this site is becoming more and more like poking a bruise every day. Every time I think "how bad could it really hurt?" and then *poke* yup it's still completely awful and full of the dumbest opinions on the planet.

The "They took our jobs!" episode of South Park aired in 2004. It's 2024, and Republicans are still screaming about the crisis at the border. Can they find another issue to scream about? This one is getting kind of boring.

Looking at coverage from this time last year, pretty much every analyst I talked to was all but certain we were poised for a recession in 2023. Sitting in 2024 with inflation back to normal and the economy booming should be seen as miraculous. I wonder why no one things that.

New game for everyone: Go on YouTube Shorts and see how long it takes before you get recommended some sort of right-wing talking head. Happens to me every time I try to scroll through it and my subscriptions are things like goofy videos and Doug DeMuro.

Boy this hellsite really has gone completely and irredeemably downhill since the Musk takeover hasn't it? The amount of insanity I've been seeing on here is through the roof and most of the value is gone.

Given how quiet my street is in Portland, it feels like a lot of the state is uneasy and unsure of what to do at this point. Mainers won't forget this senseless shooting for a long time.
