Like the idea was to discipline the Dems into not trying to change the narrative about the economy by burying any Dem who did in starkly negative coverage. how DARE you say 3% unemployment is good, are you so out of touch! Totally absent phenomenon under Trump of course

How does this work if your kid wants to go home though

the next thing you impulse buy WILL change your life. do NOT wait or second guess yourself, this time it IS going to be different

"Clowns have generally tried to avoid killing children. John Wayne Gacy has chosen a different path."

I identify as a grown up

“Why a cop gotta teach kids?!” the mere title “Kindergarten Cop” has already successfully hooked D

Our local councilperson seemed fine on policy but he didn’t campaign at ALL. No website, no people, no presence whatsoever. It was bizarre. He was a young guy too! So when a super enthusiastic DSA person knocked on every door she trounced him

Pretty good turnout at the SEIU 1000 protest today. I disagree with attempts to rhetorically tie this to the No Kings protests but I do wonder if those have helped getting people more practiced for protests in general

Really brings home just how many people on here need to go outside and visit another person’s home more often. I buy physical films and TV and I know I’m a freak because…I’ve seen the inside of more than three other people’s living rooms.

Okay so I’ve posted about how one of our unions was out of contract for four entire years because Newsom’s administration wouldn’t negotiate with them. They finally came to an agreement this year, ended the strike….. and were just informed Newsom simply cut their agreed upon raises from the budget

But wait, all the gambling ads make it sound like you win money

I have friends who are birthright citizens and don’t think they’re dumb for being happy today

Can’t believe I missed “sex scenes are unnecessary in movies” discourse two days ago. I need an alert for goofy Bluesky discourse but not any other kind

Supreme Court rules 5-4 that Justice Alito is retiring; in a dissent joined by the liberal justices, Alito writes “what”

Obviously we’re entering the bad hours of Bluesky posting

This debate feels like “are voters ACTUALLY racist or is there a series of convoluted tricks they’ve fallen for that explains why they keep voting for racists” to me

In a stunning reversal of prior positions, I’ve actually gone purchased my four-year-old a phone. The phone:

If seems that because conservatives abuse the notion of “what’s bad for kids” many people on this website thinks things can’t be bad for kids, or that it’s at least impossible to know so nobody better try

Main problem is the fucking camera!!! I am pretty committed to not buying any more iPhones but I think this one has to stick around in some capacity until my youngest is in school at least

The shopping list for incoming kindergarteners (!!!!) at my school listed “laptop/Chromebook (required first day)”. I’ve got Concerns

It’s hard for me to get worked up about any proposed social media ban because if I could destroy every cell phone in the world in a moment I would push the button

that doesn’t necessarily mean you should run on it, you should just do it

Why does everybody think the campaign statements are the be-all-end-all of policy

Dude looks like he was just blown out of the airlock in total recall

No way the guy who spent months going “oh well we can’t know what’s in Graham Platner’s heart” is posting this

I'm fascinated by the fact that his change of heart is inauthentic while Platner's is seen as worthy of a chance at a senate seat less than a year after begrudgingly removing nazi insignia from his own flesh. Who is allowed to grow and change and who isn't?

The last argument I saw before logging off last night was the one where people were mad that the Jews wouldn’t let them into Jewish heaven, when I logged in this morning the first argument I saw is somebody mad gay marriage does not include polygamy

I’m seeing discourse about whether somebody else’s religion lets you go to go to their heaven and are people just looking for a fight??? Who cares

I am not sure people realize that the people you meet on this website, or Twitter, are literally never representative of their home regions so you probably shouldn’t start drawing conclusions here

A lot of homeowners like high property values and loathe the suggestion of more traffic. They aren’t being irrational, they’re just being selfish.

For all the railing about gentle parenting I actually barely see this problem in the wild

I’ve been trying to read more books this year, and hating a lot of them! It’s only now that I realize, bafflingly enough, I truly expected that I’d enjoy all the new books I read

That whole A/C convo (hopefully over now) was frustrating to me since so many Europeans are so dismissive about the structural issues that fuck up American politics, but when they run into a straightforward problem *they* are structurally ill prepared for, they don’t exactly leap to action

So this was SO FUN to bring on vacation and then I left it on the counter while checking out. My brother left the hotel after me and was able to recover it, taking it home to Flagstaff with him

God the thing is I actually hope this is true but I just don’t think it is

I actually am not entirely sure if you can always clearly differentiate Buddhists and Hindus since these are polytheistic religions with a number of overlapping deities

“he’s written some good legislation for queers” who said it: left wing or right wing poaster

Sac PD and sheriffs have decided the bike lane on 6th street is their free courthouse parking now. This whole stretch is posted "no parking any time" but obvs they won't be ticketed. Lame & super dangerous to have to merge suddenly when cars are flying down that hill. @caitymapled5.bsky.social

Literally this clickhole article

I think my daughter is ready for an allowance. I thought we had more time!! But she insisted on bringing her own wallet on vacation, which I indulged but didn’t expect her to use, and at a gift shop instead of asking us for something she took her wallet out of my purse and tried to buy it herself

time to post my absolutely favorite meme

“Biden juche, the intelligentsia, anyone catch the episode of Succession” average voter: damn this Chicago PD is almost over, how they fuck are they gonna catch this guy….wait no way the murderer is guest star Jimmy Smitts?

Guy who thinks AOC’s 2024 speech at the Democratic National Convention needs to be disavowed before she runs for president in 2028: gosh Bluesky posters are sure in a bubble

Thought about this since the post first came around but for people my age (born 1985) I really think it’s The Matrix

working class: the 2026 ford F-150 Raptor, a gun collection, blue lives matter shirt ruling class: bicycle, public transit, the women in that “gen z boss and a mini” video

A lot of people assume that the housing market circa 1975-2005, when urban housing was cheap even without new development thanks to rapid sprawl and white flight, is the natural state of the world and not an historically anomalous period shaped by housing and transportation policy choices.

I went to university of Hawaii law school and he visited to give a talk and accepted all of the aloha and this is an excellent example of why I hate this motherfucker with every fiber of my being

Ten months later I finally finished it. And I still want to make another one! #knitting

James Carville yelling that he's going to quit the Democratic party or politics generally is like Noah Wyle or Ellen Pompeo threatening to quit practicing medicine
