Sarah McBride becomes the first out transgender person elected to Congress in c/[email protected]

"First out transgender" person means we don't know if anyone in Congress now is trans but we aren't ruling out that someone might be. We don't know if they are the first trans person elected to congress but they surely are the first out trans person to have done that.

Updates on new Plasma 6 icons! in c/[email protected]

[–] concrete_baby 3 points 3 months ago

I'm so glad they decided to make the lines thicker. I always thought the Breeze icons were ugly because of their 1px outline style. It's hard to see and lacks weight. Liking the improvement here.

A slight inconsistency with Voyager logic is that the Doctor's mobile emitter seems to disappear when the Doctor is deactivated. That seems to suggest the emitter is holographic itself. But what emits the emitter?

What a clickbait title. It's just a generative AI that turns meme images to short videos. Big deal.

Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats in c/[email protected]

[–] concrete_baby 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Trump is garbage. Biden is running against Trump. Therefore, Biden is the anti-garbage. Basic reasoning, man.

I'll eat my hat and comment here if Biden doesn't gets his nomination. I didn't say Biden is the nominee. I didn't even use the word "nominee". Its you who keeps attacking the straw man. But you know what? I'm 100% sure the DNC will nominate Biden. That debate performance was bad but he ain't losing his presumptive nomination. Don't confuse reality with what you want to happen.

So your logic is that supporting garbage is better than supporting the anti-garbage because it makes clear to everyone that you and everybody else are supporting garbage? Don't you think voting Trump because "he will win" is a self-fulfulling prophecy?

LOL. A lot of flowery language there but not much substance. The Dems can't switch now. Trump can instantly snatch on to that and attack whoever replaces Biden as an inferior desperate backup. Trump will say you Democrats have no idea what they're doing and they can't even stand behind their incumbent. This isn't only about 2024 but also about the midterms. Who would vote for a party that backstabs their incumbent?
