My favorite quote comes at the end: "It used to be nice when I didn't know my neighbor next door was a dummy." Hard agree (speaking metaphorically -- my literal next door neighbors are all very nice, and all very pro-democracy, even when it means our preferred candidates lose).

I went to swing county in PA to see how the current political climate has changed the way people see their neighbors, their local government, and their country. newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

Now this is how you micro-target voters.

It’s so weird how so many voters who are over January 6th can’t move past the Union victory in the Civil War.

Scott Walker@ScottWalker

Voters are long over January 6th. Walz and the moderators are obsessed while most Americans are focused on issues related to high prices, border security, public safety, and free speech. They are tone deaf.

(And why those same Republicans also try to mandate the teaching of particular beliefs.)

Tim Quirk@tbquirk·1 Eki

Related to this, it's really hard to articulate just how profound the impact of Roots felt back when we had a genuine monoculture. Experiencing that as a kid has made it much easier, as an adult, to understand just why Republicans try to outlaw the teaching of certain histories.

When I was a kid, it felt like John Amos was in EVERYTHING. Sometimes he was lovable, sometimes he was frightening, oftentimes he was both at once. RIP to a great.

TVMoJoe@TVMoJoe

Incredibly sad to hear of the passing of John Amos. In 2015, I was lucky enough to spend an hour on the phone with him talking about his career, from his work as a writer on Leslie Uggams' variety show to MTM and Roots to Good Times. What a life... vulture.com/2015/10/john-a…

Well, this is surprising: 35 years after signing with Warners, they just deposited the first royalty check Too Much Joy has ever received from them into our band bank account. We're still >$300K unrecouped, but as of July, 2022, they now pay unrecouped artists signed before 2000

I'm a bad dad who never remembers my children's exact birthdays. Thanks for remembering this one for me, @mariaemma16. And thanks to the art director who figured out a way to achieve our vision for the cover. Back before AI, you had to do this stuff with actual vans and cliffs.

@amandadeibert Literally just tonight was the first time I ever heard "Eurydice" spoken aloud. Had no idea it wasn't pronounced Yuri Dice.

As a kid who hid in books but wasn’t surrounded with a lot of highly educated people… I appreciate when people point this out. I embarrassed myself a lot as a teen.

Mispronouncing a word. It just means you read it somewhere but you've not heard it anywhere.

@MattMackowiak That fails to answer my question. Gold star families inviting him and requesting photos do not negate the facts that A) he broke the law, B) another gold star family objected to the photos and C) the army has rebuked him. So why is complaining about his comportment there absurd?

English

Matt Mackowiak@MattMackowiak·29 Ağu

@tbquirk He was invited by the Gold Star families and they wanted photos. Does Biden/Harris failure on the pullout or lack of interest in the gold families bother you at all?

English

Matt Mackowiak@MattMackowiak·29 Ağu

Precisely. This is how absurd this is.

Stephen L. Miller@redsteeze

Trump was at Arlington cemetery at the request and invite of Goldstar families, Harris released a press statement and Joe Biden was on a beach and the media has decided that Trump is the problem in all of this.

@MattMackowiak So what makes the uproar absurd, then? Trump's campaign refused to obey the law, pushed an employee who was insisting that they do so, and now the army along with the family of another soldier whose headstone appeared int he photos are very rightfully complaining.

@tbquirk they should have adhered to photo limits at ANC
