🤡 Trump Keeps Attacking Americans. Why Does He Get Away With It?
politicsAnd the media, with its long-standing bias toward treating Republican grievances as more legitimate than Democratic ones, follows the lead of whichever party is making the most noise. Republicans scream about “deplorables” for weeks, so it becomes a story. Democrats shrug at Trump’s latest attack on blue America, so it doesn’t.

🇺🇸 No Kings Day Pt. 2

They laughed and danced and took selfies and sang. City police departments, including those of New York City, San Diego, and Washington, D.C., said they had made no protest-related arrests.
You absolutely love to see it.
📺 Watching Apple TV in Apple TV on the Apple TV
tvIn the 6 years we’ve been making these TV+-on-TV-on-TV jokes, I haven’t seen any evidence that this has caused any actual pain for users. Maybe it’s out there and I’m just blind to it, but I just haven’t seen it myself.
100% — I tried to say something similar on Mastodon when this news broke and everyone was making unfunny jokes about it, but Matt says it much better than me. It just doesn’t matter.
