wilwheaton:

““The real divide in the party is not left versus center and not even young versus old,” Hornedo said. “The reality is that, with Trump and Musk dismantling things day in and day out, when Democrats come back in power, we are not walking back into a government that resembles that of which we knew. And I just don’t think that the leaders that got us into this are the ones that are going to get us out of it.””

50,000 is a “major city”? I’ve been in stadiums with more people than that.

Doug Mack on bluesky: "not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates" // Joseph Fink on bluesky: "1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America" // Katie Mack on bluesky: "Just looked this up and it seems like the first stat is actually closer to 1 in 9. Had no idea it was that many."ALT
Kevin M. Kruse on bluesky: '"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."' // Courtney Milan on bluesky: "Solidarity to everyone in California braving these fucking fascists."ALT

solidarity with california.

according to the results of the 2021 census:

“As of April 2020, just more than 86 percent of Americans live in metropolitan areas, counties that include or are adjacent to major cities with populations of 50,000 or more, an all-time high.” (census results overview from The Hill)

Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

in addition: Trying to avoid ever doing these things will cost you in ways you cannot comprehend until you stop and accept this.
