  • said that they didn’t even start debate prep until 11 am each day at Camp David

    Do we know what he was doing before 11am? He has other duties besides preparing for the debate. While probably his most important immediate task, he still needs to take briefings on things like the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the consequences of recent SCOTUS decisions, and the dumbass shit that Trump said.

    I agree that this doesn’t make me feel better about him, but I don’t think that starting debate prep at 11am and taking an afternoon nap means that Biden was slacking off. It may just mean that he’s got other things to worry about.





  • I don’t usually use much profanity but this is a fucking travesty and the six conservative justices are traitors to the American people. They should all be impeached for blatant corruption and for being bought and paid-for by industry interests. They’re not even going to be embarrassed about their scientific mistake except that they got caught out on not understanding what they’re ruling on. They know they aren’t the experts in everything. They just want corporations to have free reign and for them to be able to trample the rights of citizens.

    This is going to allow the courts to rapidly unwind decades of progress that has been made on some of the most important subjects including environmental regulations, workplace regulations and employee rights, antitrust law, and anticorruption law to name a few. Between this and the Jarkesy decision we’re going to go back to the days of burning eyes in Los Angeles and Lake Erie on fire, deadly workplaces and no employee right to organize, anticompetitive corporate practices with no oversight, and rampant corporate fraud. There is no longer a reasonable enforcement mechanism due to Jarkesy and there is now no real rule-making authority.

    As I said before, all six conservative justices should be impeached for blatant corruption and working against the best interests of the American people. I’d settle for impeaching Alito and Thomas, but they should all be impeached. They are traitors to the American people.











  • First, thanks for taking on the task of starting this community! I’m enjoying it so far and have posted a few birds myself.

    I’ve been a mod of a few subreddits, both small and large. I don’t think you need a whole lot at this stage but it might be worth putting in place some rudimentary rules so that, if you need to remove posts or comments, you can point to a rule when you do so. These can be pretty simple and obvious like:

    1. Be nice! Don’t be rude to others or your comments will be removed and you may be banned.
    2. All posts must be related to birds.
    3. If you are posting someone else’s content, provide attribution.

    Another thing that could be useful is a bot that cna label posts with the bird’s species when they are identified. I’m not sure if there are good bots that could just be dropped in place, but it might be worth looking at what is used in /r/birding.
