Nooo I Just Saw A TikTok Of Someone Calling Their Mom A Hoarder Cause She Has A CD Collection And Going

"In recent years, there has been a rush on the internet to supply image descriptions and to call out those who don’t. This may be an example of community accountability at work, but it’s striking to observe that those doing the most fierce calling out or correcting are sighted people. Such efforts are largely self-defeating. I cannot count the times I’ve stopped reading a video transcript because it started with a dense word picture. Even if a description is short and well done, I often wish there were no description at all. Get to the point, already! How ironic that striving after access can actually create a barrier. When I pointed this out during one of my seminars, a participant made us all laugh by doing a parody: “Mary is wearing a green, blue, and red striped shirt; every fourth stripe also has a purple dot the size of a pea in it, and there are forty-seven stripes—”

“You’re killing me,” I said. “I can’t take any more of that!”

Now serious, she said it was clear to her that none of that stuff about Mary’s clothes mattered, at least if her clothes weren’t the point. What mattered most about the image was that Mary was holding her diploma and smiling. “But,” she wondered, “do I say, Mary has a huge smile on her face as she shows her diploma or Mary has an exuberant smile or showing her teeth in a smile and her eyes are crinkled at the edges?”

It’s simple. Mary has a huge smile on her face is the best one. It’s the don’t-second-guess-yourself option."

This needs to be said. So, you’re telling me that amidst Russian bomb threats in vital Democratic counties, a Starlink satellite randomly crashing just five days after the election, Starlink’s connection to voting machine systems (with Musk as its owner), unusual Democratic down-ballot voting patterns in swing states. At the same time, Trump somehow tops the ticket, with strange comments from Trump and other Republicans before the election, Musk hinting he needs Trump to win to avoid jail, and now Kamala’s campaign is quietly preparing for a recount case. There’s nothing more to this?

No, this isn’t just smoke; there’s a fire here. I’m no criminal investigator, but Trump and Musk have the track records, motives, and resources to pull something like this off.

We don't talk enough about the implications of the annual Thanksgiving presidential turkey pardon

The thing that the turkey is getting pardoned /from/ is being Thanksgiving dinner, the thing the turkey is being pardoned for is a mystery. What are turkeys' crime that gives them the death penalty unless pardoned mr president? Is being a turkey an inherent crime? They were nearly the national bird!

Also, after a turkey attacked a president during the pardon ceremony, the turkeys that will be pardoned in the future are bred and raised to be docile and calm in front of large crowds and next to the potus, indicating that birds can be artificially selected to be genetically capable of being legally freed from their original sin of being born a turkey

This is a game to play in the lame duck era if he loses. The perfect warning. We would have a year to set things up to defend us from Trump. It's likelier he would choose to do something less obviously criminal. Something that seems positive but obviously etreme. Something that we know instabtly Trump would use unwisely, but most of the public supports from Biden.

I would hope they are crafting a list of how they can milk the decision whether they win or lose.

Like we know Biden would never but God imagine if he just had Trump assassinated as an official act right now and then resigned from office. What would SCotUS even do.

We are in for an awful time conservation wise! We, as the American people, need to be watching the Trump administration with eagle eyes and have to be ready to fight 👊
