I assumed that Outlook was to be avoided based on the Microsoft connection. Is that not true? Sorry - I’m not in the loop here.

Yep, this was the logical follow-up to Dobbs.

Thanks, non-voters.

Susan Collins is very concerned.

The symbolism of this is astonishingly perfect.

“Why can’t we all get along?”

Hmm…maybe it’s because one party denies science and views 60% of the country as subhuman, and the other party believes in science and equality? How the fuck are you supposed to reconcile those two?

FTFY

I am SO glad that I don’t have to deal with bullshit Microsoft workarounds anymore.

Or how about the radical idea of not relying on someone else for your important files?

Yeah, but then your father sends you a bunch of pro-bigotry, pro-fascist memes and you wonder if he’s actively trying to trigger you or if he honestly thinks he can convert you to his regressive way of thinking.

File this under “things that I assumed happened decades ago.”

It’s word-for-word part of his opening remarks. Don’t worry - it rapidly becomes more incoherent from there.

Fuck streaming. All I need is my local library and an .mp3 player with tactile controls.

I do not understand how people are OK with being reliant on some other service to listen to their music, and how they’re OK with having to deal with a touchscreen if they want to skip tracks or otherwise navigate the library. Not to mention that they don’t even have full control over their playlists, or that songs can disappear…

Conversely, with a dedicated player and knowledge of your own library, you can skip between albums with your eyes closed, and you never have to worry about losing a playlist or song.

“And if you don’t like what I’m saying, you can leave the room. Of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future, but you just feel nice and loose, OK, because we’re all on the same team. And I was told that, sir, you won’t hear – you won’t hear a murmur in the room. I said, we got to loosen these guys up a little bit. So you just have a good time.”

Terrible idea. “The Republicans are proposing that we ignore the Constitution, so the Dems should too.”

There’s a time when tit-for-tat is valid and necessary (e.g., gerrymandering blue states to keep up with red state shenanigans). This is not one of those times.

This was the logical and inevitable consequence of conservative attacks on female autonomy. And most people either don’t care, or actively support it.

Excellent points. The question is: Even if a deal COULD be reached, is there any way for the Dems to force the GOP to comply with the terms they agree to?

Absolutely no one could have seen this coming. There was no one saying that this would happen. Absolutely no one.

In Texas. Of course.
