[Analysis] Two Families Got Fed Up With Their States’ Politics. So They Moved Out.
  • "Both sides do it, both sides to it," is the mantra of the willfully stupid mainstream press, pretending against all evidence that our problem is 'the rift between left and right' instead of the growth of American fascism. To say plainly that Republicans are lying about everything and advocating policies of hate wouldn't be 'impartial journalism', so they contort the facts into knots to look fair and balanced, instead of reporting the facts.

    This article is a fine example, from America's finest practitioner of mainstream and impartial journalism, the New York Times.

    One family moved from Oregon to Missouri because they were sick of seeing poor and homeless people. Another family moved from Iowa to Minnesota because Iowa had banned medical care for their son.

    These two families are not a matched and balanced set, fodder for a thoughtless think piece. Moving to avoid seeing unpleasant people is not the equivalent of escaping to save your child's life.

  • Trump demands apology after Biden moves forward with border wall construction in Texas
  • Just a brief moment of retrospective reality: Until Trump, had there ever been any ex-President publicly demanding apologies from the incumbent?

    At least in my long life, the answer is no. Because all of them, despite all their faults, had some slight touch of class Trump knows nothing about.

  • [News] Special counsel lawyers seek gag order against Trump in election interference case - UPI.com
  • Trump is genetically incapable of shutting up, so at last this brings us to the first 'blink' moment in all this: Are they willing to issue and then enforce this rather slight gag order when Trump inevitably breaks it?

    Anyone else would've been under a much broader gag order, long ago.

  • North Korea says Travis King wants refuge from racism, mistreatment in US
  • North Korea seems an odd place to escape to, especially after this poor schmo delivered "a profanity-laced tirade against Koreans." He probably won't be sending post cards to friends and family in America, but what the heck, I sincerely wish him a happy life in his new home.

  • I love kbin but the login bug persists and I can't take it anymore
  • Kbin does log me out once or twice weekly for no known reason, but I have no difficulties logging in again. You say you've cleared site data — cache and cookie? If you've tried it twice and it hasn't worked, time to open a ticket with the help desk (admins).
