Rather than her speech, I am looking forward to see her debating Pence. It is going to be good.

Did you read their reading of a 5 days convention after one day? Pure bitterness and resentment. They are clearly playing for Trump team. It will be remembered. I always hated the inability to make editions here, but these days I AM LOVIN'IT.

wow. This thread is thriving with friends into wasting their time. I am glad to have a practical mindset. Take advantage of these useful links to invest a few of your extra dollars: https://joebiden.com https://secure.actblue.com https://rvat.org https://lincolnproject.us

I am not going to get distracted. If you want to work for Trump's reelection, it is your decision.

@numazu1, thanks for the reports! Super useful as always. Have you noticed the use of UV devices in buildings entrances? My contacts in Argentina tell that they are experimenting with these devices at the entrance of public buildings and hospitals.

was really making an objective observation. I made no comment about anyone's color. I live in DC. 90% of my neighbors are working class Black families. Not only I live with them, I am an active participant and member of neighborhood and community associations and organizations. The overwhelming majority of my friends and lovers are Black, from all ages, educational levels, and social extractions. For almost 20 years I have developed and kept a deep engagement with what I consider is my community. I know what people and community leaders think not because I read it in newspapers or in social media, I talk to,, love and work and interact daily and intensely with them. DC Black community is quite diverse, but in a city that voted 4% for Trump, it is really challenging to find Trump lovers within it. It is almost as hard to find Harris haters. There are groups of Left activists (I am usually actively supportive of the Leftists groups) who like myself are not enthusiastic about Kamala, but we all agree that now it is time to leave our differences aside and support the dems ticket against Trump. I also heard of a very small group that opposes her. They are few, and not representative of where the overall local Black community, in al its different political nuances, stands. Perhaps, DC Black community is not representative of the overall Black American community (I intentionally use Black to include not only African Americans but also the very influential local African immigrants community). I give you that. But in DC, opposition to Kamala seems to be irrelevant so far. I hear mostly White folks criticizing her from the Left and the Right.

If you had any Black friends, you would know what an overwhelming number of them is quite happy with Kamala.

HBO is starting this Sunday a new series based in Lovercraft imagery. I am always surprised about how many Americans do not know this writer. He and Poe are probably in my top 5 favs. If I remember properly, and of course if this show is actually good, @AdamSmithmay enjoy it.

Do not get distracted with the anti-Harris crap. It is time to close lines, compromise, and go against Trump.

For the friends who pretend to read Chomsky and to imagine that their political hallucinations are supported by him, perhaps it would be useful to watch a video. Chomsky spells very clearly what he actually thinks about supporting or not Biden and democratic centrists in this coming election. I think that giving a fight is great, is what Bernie Sanders did. And when he lost, he repositioned his machine to support Biden. The Left wanted a better VP and lobbied for one. We got Kamala Harris. She is not the best, but could have been worse. That fight is over. The discussion is ended and now the Dems have the full formula. If you actually want to defeat proto-fascism, it is time to shut up, swallow your disagreements, and line up behind the blues. Like Chomsky advises.

Uh... I will support the Biden/Harris ticket, but with no enthusiasm. I would only expect very moderate, centrist, improvements in policy as in the latest Dem administrations. I need more to be enthusiastic.

If the Trump presidency did not teach a lesson to the "they-all-are-the-same" crew, leave them live in their "we-are-the-antisystem" fantasy.

Wearing a neck gaiter may be worse than no mask at all, researchers find

I have a credit for a flight in AA. I just rebooked it for the TG week in November. Let's see. I was planning a non promiscuous trip. No saunas, bringing Will Prado from Porto Alegre, and spending the week with him. However, when I started planning, I found out that my favorite porn star will probably be there. We have developed something like a partnership through the blog, and I am thrilled at the possibility of coinciding in the same place for the first time and meeting face to face. It is a very strong extra motivation to face the risk of traveling, and if I parachute in the middle of his overpopulated orgies of course I will not be avoiding promiscuity. Now, I can only sit and follow how the situation evolves. I will not buy covid insurance until November.

I guess it is too late now. Time is out for the joke.

My fantasies are back. I am thinking of spending Thanksgiving in Rio again.

Now they will start using masks.

The rest of the world will never forget that the nation self declared moral leader of the world has been the only one to use nuclear devices, mass murdering innocent civilians. Not once, but twice.

I have been bitching about spending this summer is DC. However, I am happy to be now in the capital. Our public schools are going 100% virtual.
