Why is a "conservative" media outlet pushing propaganda that attacks families? If you don't want children around you at a restaurant, sit at the bar. Children are amazing and we should encourage people to spend more time with their families--and not do whatever this is.

I’m getting tired of my background. what’s your desktop background? phone?

Backrooms is about to make over a hundred mil at the box office. What is the next 4chan post that should be adapted into a feature film?

the argument that the european date format is more "logical" never holds up to any scrutiny. the month is going to be the smallest range of numbers, 1-12. day of the month is next, ranging 1-31, and then the year, the largest number. perfectly logical. europeans are just coping.

I'm quite shocked, disappointed, and sad to be on the outside of this LNC looking in. I've been trying to get elected to the LNC since 2018. I tried in March 2018 in special elections for Region 8 Rep and Region 8 Alt - lost to Justin O'Donnell In a tiebreaker and to Alex Merced respectively. I was nominated for At Large from the floor in 2018 by Tim Yow. I came in 40th of 50th. I didn't have high hopes on that one. I ran for Chair at the 2020 convention - losing to Joe Bishop-Henchman and finishing third. I was subsequently nominated for Vice Chair and so came in third, losing to Ken Moellman. Upon JBH's resignation in 2021, I was nominated by an LNC member for the Chair vacancy. That race was won by Whitney Bilyeu - who, for the record, called me the next day - and I had once again finished third. I ran HARD in a doomed Chair race in 2022, coming in third to Angela McArdle and Steve Dasbach and having the additional indignity of being excluded from the Chair debate by the body. I was subsequently nominated for Vice Chair and did poorly, losing to eventual winner Joshua Smith. I ran for At Large at the DC Convention in 2024,and came in EIGHTH, which made me very proud. The two other finishers ahead of me who were not elected were Mimi Robson and Evan McMahon, who did both fill vacancies during that term. I asked several LNC members to nominate me for vacancies during this last term. In addition to the Chair vacancy (I didn't ask) and Vice Chair (I offered to run and was told it was covered) and Secretary (I offered to run and was told there was a nominee) vacancies, I pushed hard for a nomination for the two At Large vacancies that went to Sam Bøhler and Doug Knebel. This weekend, I ran HARD for Vice Chair and came in third to Amanda Griffiths. I then ran for At Large.... and came in 6th in the first round. Three were elected in that round and there was a second round of voting for the final two spots. I TIED for second with Richard Longstreth and behind Steven Nekhaila. The election was thrown to the LNC and they chose Nekhaila (the highest vote getter) and Longstreth. ELEVEN TIMES I have tried to earn a spot on the Libertarian National Committee - twelve if you count the time the members declined to nominate me. I've worked my ass off for this party - on multiple LNC Subcommittees, on TWO state boards in several capacities INCLUDING Chair and Vice Chair, in local affiliates - my own and others - and in several campaigns in several capacities. I've been someone to unify and bridge divides - not just in the theoretical sense, but ACTUAL membership recovery. I'm going to continue to do that hard work - doing the hard work for a strong Libertarian Party in our lifetime. To call this weekend's events heartbreaking and demoralizing is an understatement. Yes, we have a good LNC. I wanted desperately to be part of it. I have fought tooth and nail to serve in a unpaid position for nearly a decade because I believe I can make a REAL difference, like I have in every other role I've held in this party. It's why I'm willing to serve. I believe it's my duty to serve. I'm asking this LNC - kindly - for that opportunity when such an opportunity is presented.
