Ok now you're just teasing. I'd make sure the shelter heaters stay on while we waited.

Excellent review/reply/analysis. We'll see if it's just a flash-in-the-pan grift or part of a larger thing. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/johnbeckett/2025/09/i-read-pagan-threat-so-you-dont-have-to.html
I Read Pagan Threat So You Don’t Have To

"That’s about it, for now. The goals are these: Deprive media of Dem Discord. Give them other debates to cover. Spread joy. Create the perception of *strength* in numbers by liking & RTing every Good Democratic tweet. Reject over-curating your account. RT @KamalaHQ in particular."

Balloon Juice - Hopeful Dawn Open Thread: Magdi Jacobs on Social Media Tactics

(Jack Ohman via GoComics.com) I would like to suggest some very simple social media tactics that all Democrats should engage in before the election. A 🧵 — Magdi Jacobs (@magi_jay) August 5, 2024 I’m really bad at social media (twitter & BlueSky) myself — I’m not a fast reader, and tend to treat them as …
