Just because Isreal are bad guys, does not make Hamas good guys.

That's the worst part for the Palestinian people - no matter who wins the conflict, they lose.

I tend to favor Ace, just because I have one close by and they're all franchise stores (which means local ownership of the individual store, at least, which softens the blow of shitty corporate practices).

Menard's is another option, but I have no idea if they're any better on this issue than Home Depot or True Value.

Hm. Of the three companies named, the only one I did business with is Lowe's.

Did.

I'm curious about that broadcast channel package. If one of the big 4 networks took an interest, that would be huge for AEW, but that almost seems like a pipe dream. But other than them, who's left? CW is in bed with WWE, and nobody else in the broadcast space really matters much at all.

My Mastodon is @imadifferentbird@mastodon.social, but I hardly use it. I'm more active on Bluesky.

And I'm all for "toots". We need more whimsy in our social networks.

It is absolutely not fine when Israel does that.

USA has been the driving force behind the third hour, though it's a change WWE has gotten more and more comfortable with over the years. I'm pretty sure they're losing money by dumping it.

If I had to guess, they are probably shortening the time slot so they could use the lead in to draw viewers to another program, which makes the 8-10 slot the most likely. But I'm not a TV exec, so who knows?

Yup, but because the Electoral College weighs some votes more than others, that doesn't matter.

They already attack her for not supporting Israel's genocide enough.

If you think Republicans are going to do anything to stop Israel from wiping every single Palestinian off the face of the earth, you're an idiot.

Probably not, but I'm sure some people are really gonna go, "I wasn't going to bother voting, but Taylor said I should vote for Kamala."

At this point, this is a game of turnout.

Besides her being perhaps the most popular musician on the planet with a rabid fanbase that will do pretty much anything she tells them to, there's also the fact that Trump tried to ride her coattails by posting an AI slop poster claiming she was endorsing him, basically forcing her hand here.

But make no mistake. Maybe this won't affect you or me, but there are a lot of young women who are going to look at Harris much more fondly because she got Taylor's endorsement.

Don't forget that old standard, "She should shut up and sing!"
