"[President] Biden's primary point of comparison wasn't really [Franklin D.] Roosevelt; it was [Barack] Obama. By the end of their Presidency, Biden was so in sync with his boss that the pair had what the journalist Jonathan Alter described as 'secret code.' When Obama tipped back his chair in meetings, Biden took that as a cue to ask provocative questions that Obama wanted answered but didn't want to raise himself for fear of shifting the tenor of a meeting. But Biden also chafed at the constraints of his job -- and if Obama sometimes rolled his eyes at him, he would roll his own right back. There was the tinge of class rivalry to their gibes. The lunch-pail cornball and the effete professor culturally chafing each other. Biden told a friend that Obama didn't know how to say fuck you properly, with the right elongation of vowels and the necessary hardness of his consonants; it was how they must curse in the ivory tower."
-- Franklin Foer, on the unique dynamic of the relationship between then-President Barack Obama and then-Vice President Joe Biden during the Obama Administration, The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden's White House and the Struggle for America's Future (BOOK | KINDLE | AUDIO), available now via Penguin Press.

New Guidance Requires Federally Funded Research to Be Open Access
New Guidance Requires Federally Funded Research to Be Open Access
2022-08-25 16:34:10 In a move hailed by open-access advocates, the White House on Thursday released guidance dictating that federally funded research be made freely and immediately available to the public. The Office of Science and Technology Policy’s guidance calls for federal agencies to make taxpayer-supported research publicly available immediately, doing away with an optional 12-month…

That last Arknights event (Lone Trail please no spoilers I still haven't finished it) was mostly a mess of like 50 characters with interlocking plots when I expected it to be about SPACE
But I what I found really funny was that part when there's these two military guys from Columbia (Furry United States) and they say something like "We have rules here. We have democracy. We do things right. This is Columbia. Not Bolívar (Furry Latin America)" because that's exactly what would I expect a soldier from Furry United States who has invaded Furry Latin America to say

i think a lot of ppl who live outside the usa don't get that if someone is insured and their procedure is covered by insurance they still have to pay. like, the insurance does not cover your healthcare it just gives you a discount on your healthcare. and sometimes that discount is care that would've been $10k without insurance is $2k. people cannot afford covered, insured procedures.

For anyone wondering what Biden has done for "ordinary Americans", or why they should vote to give him four more years (besides keeping a literal fascist out of power).

President Joe Biden told an audience of conservation and environmental groups Wednesday that their work has never been more important at a time when they are battling the greatest threat facing future generations.
Speaking at the annual Capital Dinner of the League of Conservation Voters, Biden told the supportive audience there are “a lot of threats to our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren” but climate change “is the only truly existential threat.”
He said the audience members and his administration had done good work in combatting the threat but everyone needed to “finish the job.”
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were endorsed by four environmental and conservation groups at the dinner: the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, NextGen PAC, NRDC Action Fund and the Sierra Club. Speakers for the organizations praised the Biden-Harris team as the administration that has done the most to combat climate change.
In earlier comments, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was honored by the League with its lifetime achievement award, told the audience they were fighting for democracy with their environmental efforts.
“What you have done is the highest of patriotism, democracy in action. The story of America is the story of everyday Americans coming together, making your collective voices heard.”
Biden touted a number of the administration’s accomplishments, including the Inflation Reduction Act and its $375 billion for clean energy, the biggest climate law in history. He elicited cheers from the crowd as he ran through areas that have been designated as protected during his administration, as well as when he talked about the executive order he signed in April targeting investments to disadvantaged communities dealing with pollution.
Despite the endorsement and list of achievements and no visible protests at the dinner, recent steps the administration has taken have given the President a more mixed legacy and brought him under criticism by environmentalists and Democrats, although that was not evident at the event. Those decisions include the administration’s approval of the Willow project, a large-scale oil drilling project in Alaska, and the inclusion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline in West Virginia in the must-pass debt limit package the President negotiated with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

After all these years on Tumblr, it's really interesting to see these stats (via this website tool). It's crazy that my first Dead Presidents post was in March 2008 -- George W. Bush was President, Barack Obama and Joe Biden were Senators, and Donald Trump was the host of a reality show. Here's an example of how wildly different life was for everyone at that point: Kamala Harris was the District Attorney of San Francisco and would drive herself up to Sacramento to help out at campaign events and small-time fundraisers that we'd hold at various locations for then-Senator Obama. Now she's Vice President of the United States. I barely had gray hair back then!

"All too often people mistake kindness for weakness—and all too often I am standing over top of them saying I warned you. From this moment until whenever he reaches me."
In the WhatsApp message, Hunter Biden continued: "Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. All too often people mistake kindness for weakness—and all too often I am standing over top of them saying I warned you. From this moment until whenever he reaches me."
"I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father. I sure hope whatever it is you are doing is very very important," Hunter Biden said in a subsequent message, adding that it was 9:45 a.m. when he sent the message.
The Washington Free Beacon initially reported on the picture of Hunter Biden in the Corvette after classified documents were found in the garage where his father kept it.

~ Parks and Rec. spoilers ~
Tumblr media
It will always be funny to me that Parks and Rec. actually got Joe Biden to appear in an episode.
Like that guy was in the room when Seal Team Six were doing their thing, and here he is joking with character Leslie Knope about her obsessional attraction towards him.

Me whenever I see leftists fear mongering about President Biden's age:
"Gosh, if only our government had a system to immediately replace a president should they die or be unable to fulfill their duties, if only there was a person elected alongside the President whose main purpose was to be a replacement for the President if needed, but alas we don't, and as we all know every time a president died/left office early we just had no president until the next election"
