       Joe Biden now relies on instruction manuals, so here’s a good one: ‘Walk to podium, smile, wave goodbye’https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/09/joe-biden-instruction-manuals-beat-trump“Huge fan of American democracy here, which is to say – huge fan of the country of America having democracy … you’ve probably heard the expression “When America sneezes, the world catches a cold”. Most of us in the droplet radius have zero clinical interest in discovering what the world catches when America does … whatever this is.”Marina Hyde, on form as usual.

       @aral I've lost a *lot* of respect for her since she started whining about how "the arts shouldn't be political" after Baillie Gifford's sponsorship of a number of her favourite literary festivals was withdrawn because of its profiting from genocide.

       @aral As the meme goes "Just because Alfred is old, you don't put The Joker in charge of the Batcave"

       @aral A black woman will win the presidency by a landslide in The US. Absolutely.

       @aral Indeed.I'm not 100% disagreeing with what she's saying here - it's the context in which it's being said.  And some of it is really quite disgusting.

       @aral it is too late for joe to exit. Our primaries are over, Democratic Party voters overwhelmingly chose joe. American history shows replacing the incumbent with another candidate hands the election to the opposing party.  Like it or not, joe is our best chance to not have another trump presidency, church would give the whole world cancer.
