BitcoinRockefeller posted:Not exactly the actions of a democrat but: It is pretty funny that the leading congressional socialists' response to Texas's energy grid failure is to.... raise money via charity. I'm not making GBS threads on AOC for doing that, I'm sure it has saved lives and reduced misery. Just shows how narrow the window of acceptable discourse is. IDK maybe she mentioned nationalizing utilities in a tweet or something too

quote:Like the Democrats, I was very excited for Tanden’s nomination and the radical left-wing agenda she would have been able to advance through the OBM. Obviously Neera was too. But since that is off the table, only one question remains: will she let her own personal career aspirations endanger Joe Biden’s Build Back Better agenda? Or will she prove once and for all that she has the temperament, the maturity, and the commitment to progressive values that her critics all say she lacks? There’s only one way to do it: Neera Tanden can’t wait for the Biden Administration to pull her nomination. She needs to drop out.  masterful

I'm 66 and according to this timeline I won't get this loving shot till mid-to-late april. plus: lol, my years of being underinsured means I don't have a pcp and hospitals/doctors are favoring their patients first for the vaccine.

Fwiw my neighbor said his wife's parents went to the senior center by mt trashmore and got them done there. But who knows what's going on, he also said she got appointments for ten people by changing the clock on her computer to midnight and going on walgreens and using the closest pharmacy ,which makes no sense

Grey Fox posted:same reason we have ratboy as Sec of Transportation speaking of pete, luke savage wrote up a pretty good dunk of his latest book in jacobin Pete Buttigieg Is Bootleg Obama in the Worst Ways Possible it included this passage which is a sterling example of pete's general style that I find intolerable quote:After coming to rely on Internet connections at the university where they worked, my parents finally agreed we should get it at home, sometime in the mid-nineties, around when I was entering middle school. A miraculous modem appeared, wired into the phone jack next to the big gray Mac in the front room, with a sequence of about ten little LED lights from top to bottom. To dial up was like watching a rocket launch: first the top light was on, then the second . . . then came the sound of the modem talking to whatever it was talking to . . . sounding like an Atari game’s parody of birdsong or of a clarinet solo, pinging and ponging as more and more of the little lights came on, blinking and then steady, orange and then green . . . the sound building to a crescendo that recalled the noise of TV static, as machines confided who-knows-what secret binary handshakes between them while I listened. Then came a key change. Then the pitch of the static pulse tweaked, now higher, now lower, and then, gloriously, the final light went to green and I was online, in orbit: cyberspace.
