Who is Kamala Harris?
These are all from her Wikipedia page. I have picked the top 5 for each of these sections. Maybe you think other things are more important, these are just the things that stood out to me:
Highlights as District Attorney of San Francisco:
was tough on gun crime: created a gun crime unit, set 90-day minimum sentences, raised bail for gun-related crimes, and prosecuted all assault weapon possession cases as felonies.
created a hate crimes unit specifically focused on LGBTQ hate crimes against children and teens in school.
was (and is) against the death penalty; during her time as DA did not cave to pressure in several cases to seek the death penalty.
helped create the San Francisco Reentry Division, aimed at helping prisoners reintegrate after their sentences are through; the program became a national model.
refused to enforce prop 8, which was at the time California's ban on gay marriage.
Highlights as Attorney General of California
introduced the Homeowner Bill of Rights and fought against banks, mortgage companies, and credit card companies.
fought for financial reimbursement for public employee and teacher pensions.
fought for environmental protections and secured settlements and indictments against several oil companies for oil spills.
conducted a review of implicit bias in policing and the use of deadly force and introduced implicit bias training.
declared a law that California law enforcement had to collect and report police violence.
Highlights as a California Senator:
condemned Trump's Muslim ban.
opposed Trump's appointments of Betsy DeVos and Jeff Sessions, his nomination of Neil Gorsuch, and voted against confirming Kavanaugh.
tried to make lynching a federal hate crime.
urged the Trump administration to investigate the persecution of Uyghur Muslims in China.
voted to convict Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Highlights as Vice president:
as President of the Senate, cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate that ensured the passing of the American Rescue Act.
has cast more tie-breaking votes than any other Vice president in US history - she is responsible for many of the achievements of the Biden administration actually passing the Senate.
created task forces on corruption and human trafficking.
created a women's empowerment program.
has criticized Israel's actions during the current conflict in Gaza and called for an immediate ceasefire.
national elections so fucked someone's out to become king of the franks
I got a trial subscription to La Dépêche so that I could learn more about this and discovered several additional facts:
The theft was discovered early in the morning by a priest
(If a sacred/magical sword must be stolen, early morning priest-discovery is at least suitably dramatic)
The question of when exactly the sword was taken remains open
The mystery is compounded by the fact that the thief would have had to scale a cliff to get to the sword
Who could have done this thing? "La question est sur toutes les lĆØvres" (everyone wants to know)
"No," says a section header mournfully, "the sword has NOT been removed for restoration; it has been STOLEN"
The entire town is emotional about this
Ok, let's keep track:
Mystical historic sword disappears from cliff face in France.
Demon-trapping stone in Japan is found cracked open.
What other portents have occurred lately?
Joe Biden, coherently and normally: I have three issues to speak about. First, the NATO conference went well. Second, the economy is back on track and inflation is down. Third, my proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza is moving forward. Any questions?
The media: Did You Know That You Are Old
At one point Biden misspoke and said āVice President Trumpā instead of āVice President Harrisā when answering a question, but to be fair he was probably expecting a relevant question about his opponent and not literally 6 questions in a row about whether or not heās Dead Yet
Canāt believe I went back on political Twitter for this, but I needed some sane takes after weeks of nonsense.
Biden has a stutter. Sometimes he mixes up names, replaces words, or pauses for a minute. But itās not forgetfulness - itās literally misspeaking. Itās not great. But it has nothing to do with his ability to govern.
This press conference showed a clear and in-depth understanding of the job he is doing, particularly in relation to NATO and foreign policy. The media is too cowardly to bother asking Trump the same questions, but I think we all know his responses wouldnāt be nearly as coherent. This whole conversation has been overblown. Thereās only one candidate in this race who can do the job, and itās the one who is already doing it.
I'm honestly appalled that we got some of our first concrete news on a deal that both Israel and Hamas agreed to AND that stipulates Israel will not occupy Gaza after the war, and all everyone can talk about is "Vice President Trump".
To be fair the bots are all talking about it and the press stopped listening to people a long time ago, so you can understand their quandary
Everybody just needs to stfu and get behind Joe and do their civic fucking duty and showthefuckup and vote. At least NYT's editorial board showed some huevos this morning. Everybody and everything else in the news (UNTIL THIS) gets a facepalm.

Huh, I'd actually forgotten all about this one.
Desperately want to know what the thought process behind the duffel bag part of Jason's lieutenant decapitation stunt was
Was he going mob lieutenant to mob lieutenant acquiring heads and dropping them into the bag one by one
Did he collect them all then dump them into the bag
Did he even set out already planning on putting all the heads in a duffel bag
Or did he get like two decapitations in before realizing he Does Not Have Enough Hands to carry that many heads on his own and grabbed the first thing he saw that could feasibly carry them
The duffel bag was his gym bag and he completely forgets about its role in his taking over the local drug trade until it's leg day and his bag is just gone
It wasn't even a cheap bag. It was a good, sturdy, durable gym bag. Many pockets.
He curses his decision to use that one for months afterwards
Anytime he's seen with a duffel bag afterthe event people get antsy, as if he going to decapitate more people, which annoys Jason
Him? Using another perfectly good duffel bag for some fucking heads? In this economy? Please, he spent a fortune buying this new one from an esteemed local sportswear store (decathlon) he's not going to ruin it like that
Bruce or Dick: don't you regret what you've done?? Even a bit?? All the murders? The eight decapitations??
Jason: oh yah I regret my choice of a bag
How dare you leave this in the tags
She had been dreaming, she realized. Lady was with her, and they were running together

"In recent years, there has been a rush on the internet to supply image descriptions and to call out those who donāt. This may be an example of community accountability at work, but itās 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 Iāve 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: āMary 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 stripesāā
āYouāre killing me,ā I said. āI canāt take any more of that!ā
Now serious, she said it was clear to her that none of that stuff about Maryās clothes mattered, at least if her clothes werenāt the point. What mattered most about the image was that Mary was holding her diploma and smiling. āBut,ā she wondered, ādo I say,Ā Mary has a huge smile on her face as she shows her diplomaĀ orĀ Mary has an exuberant smileĀ orĀ showing her teeth in a smile and her eyes are crinkled at the edges?ā
Itās simple.Ā Mary has a huge smile on her faceĀ is the best one. Itās the donāt-second-guess-yourself option."
--Against Access, byĀ John Lee Clark, a DeafBlind educator
i think about where george lucas had planned to take star wars more than i should, but particularly because i am fascinated by the original idea of vader going to luke himself and asking for help atoning, which was cut and condensed into ROTJ for time constraints. and i want to write it. i really do. but the unfortunate thing is that i was of the generation of kids who watched avatar: the last airbender growing up, and all i can think about is vader testing his fucking opening lines like zuko does. the concept of HEY, LORD VADER HERE is irresistably funny
like, i wish i could just show people how i imagine this going. you've got a john-wick-if-everyone-had-swords ass sequence of vader going AWOL and slaughtering everyone who catches him, because he decided he was going to be a Better Person four minutes ago and has failed to necessarily stick to that. and then you immediately smash cut to a wrecked, smoldering ship and vader sitting ramrod straight on a piece of the rubble trying to appear nonthreatening, pitching his HEY, LORD VADER HERE speech to a turtle. he's still splattered in the blood of all the ex coworkers he just killed. the space turtle is hiding in its shell and vader decides if it peaks its nose out he's going in the right direction
and the really fucking funny thing is that vader would pull the same shit. he'd see a rebel base and he'd sense luke and it'd just be like ah, yes. why don't i just simply walk right in. he immediately gets fired at by every soldier in the near vicinity, and because vader has been murdering people for a quarter century figuring out how to block incoming fire without just killing people is actually kind of a headscratcher, so he's just getting hit with a bunch of lasers that have about as much effect as spitballs but do make a really hilarious PLINK PLINK PLINK PLINK sound when they hit his helmet. and the entire time he's just standing there
Ghost kitchens suck. I ordered from a supposedly vegan restaurant because I was in the mood for some orange tofu and they sent me orange chicken. Like itās fine for me because Iām not vegan but if you advertise yourself as a vegan restaurant and send someone chicken because you canāt keep your two dozen different fake restaraunts straight I think that may be an issue.
I legit thought you were doing a bit about ordering from restaurants run by ghosts, and was fully prepared to believe that ghost cooks would think meat is vegan since they consider the flesh and the soul to be separate things
No thatās way more whimsical than the reality of the situation
btw in fontaine final act ppl were like "wtf is archon Throne bullshit, they just invented this out of nowhere, we only had gnosis", when in the very first confrontation in "we will be reunited" abyss sibling says "āUntil the Abyss has engulfed the thrones, my war with destiny will see no end.ā
Yeah, I felt that way at first and then I remembered that thrones have been mentioned from the beginning. Travails: "That throne in the sky is not reserved for you." A couple other places too. The Archon War was fought over seven seats. I think I, like a lot of people, sort of replaced the 'throne' with the 'gnosis' rather than imagining there might be two pieces of Archon regalia. I believe there are probably other bits of lore that have been staring us in the face since the beginning as well. I occasionally go stare suspiciously at the game's Teyvat webpage: However, 500 years ago, the collapse of an ancient civilization turned the universe upside down...
oh, its 100% literal, genshin draws heavily from gnostic beliefs, and they have a world upside down, inside of the sphere (genshin's fake sky) if i remember correctly
celestia is also referred to as "second throne" in enka. i think thrones and gnosis serve different purposes, like, thrones is what keeping sovereign's powers trapped, bc focalors had to destroy her throne to give neuvi his power back. and gnosis is like, amplification device? that can yes, amplify that trapped power, but also like transmits it to give ppl visions
also, kaeya having a voice line saying "Khaenriah? all that's left is sinners and they are not worth mentioning" and only now we learn he's being literal. he thinks he's so funny doesnt he
tldr if you think someone in genshin means something metaphorically they are probably actually being literal
plot twist KAEYA IS A SINNER HIMSELF
We don't talk enough about how goddamn funny Tighnari is. That man is unphased by everything.
Cyno shows up at his doorstep with a small child who is traumatized, illiterate, terminally ill, and has an ancient god sealed away in her body, and asks him to help raise her, and Tighnari's only objection is that he doesn't know how to teach preschool level academics.
He eats a poisonous mushroom, passes out, and has a hallucination and just goes "damn that was crazy. Let me write it down for science."
The dudes in charge of the whole country repeatedly beg him to come work for them and he tells them to fuck off.
The second fatui harbinger, said to be as strong as a god, threatens him and he basically tells him to fuck off too.
The traveler gets possessed by god and then comes back to tell him that the sages are building a false god and he's like "Damn that's fucked up. Anyways I gotta go check on my patient."
Dehya and the Traveler basically say "Hey we are helping Cyno overthrow the government" and he's just like bet.
He get's struck by lightning and is just like "Oof. Anyways gotta go check on my patient, good luck fighting a god".
He finds an illegal sentient robot crab and just adopts it and tells the matra not to worry about it.
He passes out from heat exhaustion in the desert and is just like "Damn. I'll need to bring some sunscreen next time".
Finds out Cyno has a long lost brother/cousin and is just like "Cool. Why don't you come over for dinner, meet the family".
The craziest shit can happen to this man and he's just like "Allright why not. This might as well happen" and I love that about him
