few people know that just like 3.14159, LGBTQIA is actually just the first few letters of what's actually an infinitely long nonrepeating sequence

There is no more dangerous move you can make in the Digital Age than doing something, anything at all, that indicates that you might potentially be in the market for a mattress or bed frame

A lot of the left obsesses over winning back white working-class voters for no other reason that that a united working class is a requirement to fulfill the essentially religious Hegelian teleology of Karl Marx, which of course is a really fundamentally dumb value to bring to electoral politics.

One of the most essential functions of a Trump flack is to be part of the all-hands-on-deck effort to loudly assert that Mister Trump Said A Normal And Smart Thing Actually every time he busts out some awkward turn of phrase or dopey made-up word

“I want to be the best shoe-leather journalist I can be” and “I want to be seen as cool by an online clique of emotionally volatile political Poasters” are both things you can aspire to individually but if you want both, there will inevitably come a time to Choose.

So if Poptimism has now been exposed as neolib wineboss girlmom cringe and rock music is the authentic voice of the left, I gotta ask: if I really liked the first three Fountains Of Wayne albums, do you think I get deported as a kulak or is that rock enough that I can keep my place in the commune?

I’m old enough to remember when you couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting a think piece from some conservative in a bow tie fretting about how leftist professors were suppressing The Western Canon and now this shit

The incoherence of the conservative rhetoric regarding slavery and post-abolition civil rights is remarkable, because they have to simultaneously a) claim that racism is bad BUT we are The Good Guys, actually b) claim that racism is no big deal according to History Facts I Just Made Up* and

I also don't have any interesting thoughts about Star Wars, so I'm really skiing uphill on the Website Where We Only Talk About Star Wars, BlueSky Executives, LLMs and Graham Platner

I see that some of Bluesky is working its way towards the idea that Collins is better than Platner. This is nothing but stupidity enabled by stubborness enabled by the idiotic decision to commit your identity to the outcome of a primary election that isn't even in your own fucking state.

Sam Spade voice: "The dame had worked nights as a dominatrix, counting on the slap and tickle to pay her way through grad school for a degree in urban planning. She liked her clients like her neighborhoods: dense, mixed-use, and walkable."

Not only have I ~never been carded before buying groceries or dining at a restaurant, but I’m roughly Blanche’s age and I legitimately cannot recall the last time I was asked to show ID at a bar or liquor store because I’m really self-evidently over 21

Before anyone gets the logic mixed up, remember that these guys aren't racist because of Russian money, they get Russian money because they're racist

It’s genuinely curious that transphobia-industrial complex is so overindexed on trans women specifically (“biological males in women’s spaces”) that they end up being notably blasé about involuntarily putting a bunch of, you know, men in women’s spaces

graphcel poasters like me: there is no omnicause that combines us imperialist atrocities abroad with cost of living issues at home; in general american hegemony serves the material interests of the electorate, so . . .

People will absolutely choose the tax rebate over healthcare if you run on a 'I will not give u a tax rebate because that could pay for universal healthcare' message you will be screamed at about depriving poor struggling young people of their stimulus checks to pay for old pedo boomers viagra pills

I will never not have a bad feeling about Platner, and I sure hope I'm wrong

Also anyone who says that he's a slam dunk to be worse than Collins or he "isn't a Democrat" is someone you shouldn't listen to
