they just can’t help themselves from being weird

Paprika is great, but it kills me that there is no landscape mode. I go to prop my phone up on the popsocket, which naturally puts the phone in landscape, but Paprika stubbornly stays in portrait 😑

The gif from that article was very good and i need to find reasons to use this

From the article:

the role of monarch is not hereditary: The successor is determined by tribal representatives from across the nation.

The ceremonies took place in Tūrangawaewae Marae on the North Island, which is the seat of the Maori King movement.

The political institution developed in the 1850s, when Maori tribes decided to unify under a single sovereign in the face of an influx of British settlers and demand for their land, as well as broader political marginalization.

Today the role of the Maori monarch is largely symbolic. As a former British colony and current member of the British Commonwealth, New Zealand’s official monarch is King Charles.

So I don’t think this is monarchy in the way that you are thinking. The “Maori Monarch” is more of a political leader than anything, so in a US context, it’s kind of like the NAACP selecting a new president.

“One of the most important things we need to do as a country as we begin to rebuild our politics is we need to elect serious people,”

Liz Cheney channeling Logan Roy over here.

This was a great read! This was actually a local race near me, and I didn’t pay THAT much attention because it isn’t in my actual district, but I remember hearing about the race with one guy that was an “internet microcelebrity”.

In the first paragraph of the article, it says that they are leaning towards voting third party instead. Harris should be extremely concerned.

Dems should be ringing the bell that it was Republicans that tanked Biden’s border bill. Every single time this issue comes up, they should immediately pivot to educating the public on this, and questioning why the GOP turned down this bill if they care so much.

Pushback is not the same thing as an attack! I think we tend to get the two mixed up when talking to strangers online.

So what do you suggest they do? Lie down and die?

I think Beehaw’s a pretty kind place in my experience?

thank you for the added context! I always appreciate learning new facts about this complicated issue.

hmmm i wonder where they got those bullets from?

Whaaaaat?? The extremely-talented IDF caused more injuries than Hamas? Why does that sound familiar…

Hamas wouldn’t exist if Israel had not been committing slow genocide in Gaza for the past 30 years. We can play the blame game all day, it always comes back to Israel’s original sin of using force to colonize the region 76 years ago.

do you disagree with the premise?

You’re giving me way too much credit. I don’t think about why I post anything. Lol

I hope others are as fortunate as we’ve been, with even more and better opportunities to secure a home and build a stable future for themselves.

Unfortunately, because capitalism is a zero-sum game, your fortune actually specifically means that others won’t have the same opportunity. I hate it here!

Please I am begging you all I want is affordable healthcare. Is Medicare for All not brat-coded enough?
