I just found out the rumours of JD Vance fucking a couch were made up. I can't tell you how disappointed I am. As a couchfucker myself, I was hoping to finally be able to vote for someone who represents my interests. Sadly, I will no longer be voting for Trump/Vance this election.

If I had a nickel every time a Kennedy lost part of their brain, I'd have at least 4 nickels by now.

I was on an ostensibly leftist subreddit thread about Biden stepping down, and there were liberals talking about how Kamala is too risky because she's not a white man, or because she's otherwise too progressive to appeal to undecided voters. They're wringing their hands about how even Kamala is too progressive and they should go with a conservative white guy instead.

But, I thought Biden was the only one capable of defeating Trump and anyone who disagreed was a secret Republican who wanted Trump to win?

Well, don't worry, Biden supporters. I've taken your arguments to heart, and you can rest assured that I'll write in Biden this fall, no matter who the Democrats decide to run. It's the only way to defeat Trump.

See, I genuinely don't know whether you're joking or not.

Somewhere down at the 10th level: The parts in Sonic the Hedgehog where Sonic is about to drown underwater and the music gets really fast and dramatic.

I was thinking Rob Reiner from the thumbnail.

From the original article:

Transit: Five percent of U.S. commuters use transit to get to work. New York City, with its extensive subway and rail system, is the big outlier here—more than 30 percent of workers get to their jobs by transit in greater New York City. The only other metros where 10 percent or more of workers commute via transit are San Francisco (17.4 percent); Boston (13.4 percent); D.C. (12.8 percent); Chicago (12.3 percent); Seattle (10.1 percent); and Bridgeport-Stamford, Connecticut (10 percent).

So, New York is a big outlier at over 30%, the rest of the big cities have between 10 and 20%, and there aren't any cities with 20-30%.

What are all the cities? I can point out some on a map easily, but not others.

I see Seattle, Portland, New York City, Boston, and Chicago for sure. Possibly Pittsburgh, Ann Arbor, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and maybe Springfield Illinois? A bunch of them are hard to tell without the state borders.

The school I'm a grad student at is still on strike. Some faculty aren't on board, but some are, including a history professor who specializes in labour studies. He played a bit of banjo at the picket line yesterday.

His death was certainly good timing.

"Women" is fine as a noun, but what should be used as an adjective if not "female"?
