I heard they are also accepting iTunes gift cards.

Sure, this makes sense, but it's far from certain that's how it will go. This is all speculation anyway, but I expect there will be dramatic struggle and competition to get Vance's ear. By many accounts he is not well liked nor much valued among trumpists, it is possible he knows it, so it very well could distract or impede them from doing more direct harm to American citizens. But either way, as things are and going as they have been, I don't think it's wise to bide tine til November. How many more people will have been disappeared by then? Trump dead or not, something has to happen that restricts their ability to operate, and soon.

Anyway I heard some doctor estimate he had 4-5 months to live, 2 months ago. I hope he was overestimating. But then we've heard all this hopeful talk before.

Shouldn't she be taking care of her children and submitting to God's will instead of pretending to take on a leadership role? That's very inappropriate for a woman.

I don't think that's right. I think it is "They want a black woman," but not Kamala Harris, who is the lesser of two evils. Therefore, ironically: why not trump?

I think this comment is expressing frustration that progressive voters could have voted in a black woman, despite her imperfections, but didnt. An estimated 81 million people did not vote. Now we are stuck with the worst possible outcome.

Yes, and at the same time I am troubled by a company sponsoring a drag show, or slapping a rainbow sticker on a product and no-one really benefits except the corporation. When we see a queer person, a disabled person, a southeast Asian person used in advertising, that's usually not representation, its exploitation.

So.i mean I agree with you but also I think there's something more fundamental. I don't have any solution besides revolution.

Do people want a show? Or has a protest become co-opted by capitalism and the forces of status quo into a spectacle of entertainment that's largely empty of any political or lasting benefit to queer people?

That's a rhetorical question because yes, yes to that second one I'm pretty sure.

How the hell did it become normalized that a human rights protest have corporate sponsors? It makes no damn sense.

So close to the real thing that it wasn't funny or entertaining to me, just another instance of me being annoyed by Jordan Peterson even when it wasn't actually him.

I see. Thanks for clarification. I assumed we were talking about snorting lines of powdered fruit. When it comes to putting blueberries into my butthole, I'd say I could manage half a pint, maybe more.

This is true but less interesting to me because I once had a job in a bakery making blueberry muffins. I had 50 lb bags of frozen blueberries that upon opening, would emit large clouds of blueberry aroma. Day after day, thousands of pounds of blueberries, so much blueberry vapor. I grew to hate the smell. I begged to be put on some other kind of muffin, but nope, I was the youngest and therefore lowest status in the bakery. So I'm not really a fan of blueberries.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
