What about Timmy Turner?

I feel like having fairy god parents would make pope duties a lot easier. Make his blessings a bit more potent.

Check out https://startrek.website. I don't know much about the fediverse, but if you're a Star Trek fan, it's a decent community. Bit quiet in between new seasons.

We found the Spiders Georg of liberal women.

But in all seriousness, how could a woman perceive the conservative agenda and NOT become more liberal in response?!

Oppression kink?

Even if the Supreme Court upholds the removal of Trump from the Colorado ballot, it isn't immediately over for him, unfortunately. He won in 2016 without Colorado.

That said, it would be a precedent, and other Secretaries of State could start removing him with confidence. The question remains: would enough states remove him to make winning impossible? Which is to ask: how many battleground states (or even red states) would remove him?

Reminds me of TomSka's "The Hole" sketches.

I'm far left [...]

entire post history on Lemmy is articles with centrist or pro-Trump messages

Cool.

That is the problem with representative democracy when each rep accounts for nearly a million citizens. You're at the whims of such a massive voting base. Name recognition is pretty much the only thing that matters at that scale.

It's like modern marketing and advertising. Half the time, they don't even say anything about their service. They just want you to remember the name and recognize the logo if you see it in a store.

For that very reason, I sometimes imagine a world where public office is handled like jury duty, picked semi-randomly.

According to this, there is some inconsistency in how the abbreviations are done across various sites. Some use LOW, some use LD or LDS.

Yeah, according to this, there is some inconsistency in how the abbreviations are done across various sites. Some use LOW, some use LD or LDS.

But, as you said, "ST" is never used as part of the abbreviation for a show, only movies.
