what we need is an rpg with realistic wildlife where cows are killing people

Yotei devs: we made a fully open ended game because our priority is for people to enjoy themselves in the world Also yotei dev: this immortal bear with teleportation powers is now stalking you across the map

between this lady and the Chiefs fan who was unfairly arrested just for robbing banks to fund tickets to games, it's like they hate Americans enjoying themselves

Reality show where a different member of the Democratic caucus is locked in a room with Bill Kristol for 24 hours

If you thought your portfolio was doing badly here, wait till you see what a bear market in Japan looks like

Democrats helped Republicans kill a ten billion dollar industry in order to cave on the shutdown.

“After a year spent organizing to try to convince the Democratic Party to unify and oppose this regime, here’s where I am: The time for convincing is over. We need new leadership.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Demand that your Dem senators call on Schumer to step aside: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

do Italians come from a pastaral society

The best part of watching live sports is all these people telling me to place bets every 30 seconds while also telling me to be sure not to get addicted to gambling

I mean the Jar Jar is a Sith lord was legit the greatest bit of plotting in the entire franchise so far and it wasn't even in the franchise

There's also some irony in the fact that Gen X continues to vote MAGA and MAGA just absolutely reamed Gen X on health care costs. People who are about to hit Medicare eligibility but not quite there? That 55-64 bracket? Absolutely fucked with no recompense.

Hearing from more people after this went out. "We're all pissed. This was a lot of unnecessary stress on people and their families for nothing. And if I win the lottery tonight I absolutely will spend millions to hire people to follow these 8 Dems around for a year and make their lives miserable."

You're a business journalist and you didn't think to ask Sinclair Broadcasting any questions about whether its sagging revenues had anything to do with a historically clumsy attempt to censor a comedian on behalf of our dim president?

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

nobody's interested in kayfabe when they can't afford the admission

There will be some "Wow you can't make these people happy" sentiment but what's really happening is the Dems are beginning to reap the consequences of not really believing in anything. Choreographed maneuvers, too clever by half talking points. People have just had it

Important to note that the DNC, House Dems, 2028 contenders, and even the most pro-leadership pundits and influencers are all laying on Senate Dems right now. They betrayed all of us. Schumer has no allies left.

“67% of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated in the September survey – far higher than the roughly half who said this in 2021 and 2019.”

what’s remarkable about this is that there are zero winners at all, one of the biggest lose-lose deals I can remember the Dem cavers will catch incandescent shit for it the rest of the Dems will catch collateral fury the big R win is… jacking everyone’s health care costs ahead of midterms

Time and time again the Democrats make the 1932-33 German SPD look like they were world class competent politicians.

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

It really does feel like they went “well of course standing up to Trump will help us win the election but after that we can give up” and about half the democrats in the Senate nodded along and decided which eight were going to have to look like goofballs

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

👋🏿 Next week is my VERY LAST in person lab exam and I'm $905 short of the coin needed to get me there/back cause Oct. gigs were iffy. Thank you for rocking with me through 2.5 yrs of continuous calamity. This is the last 13.8% of this campaign. Every bit helps.

Senate Democrats are the only group of people in America that could look at the election results from *less than a week ago* and conclude, “Ah, what the people want now is for us to roll over and show our bellies to the reactionary creeps”

That the vice president of the United States and new leader of the Republican Party welcomes a coalition with gutter antisemites and racists with outwardly genocidal politics feels like big news!

A lot of people have observed that the Democrats’ deep unpopularity comes from the fact that absolutely everyone wants to complain about them and nobody wants to defend them. This is true, but a lot of THAT dynamic comes from the fact that Dems are regularly punching their supporters in the face!

Trump trade war costs US Italian pasta: “Exporters say import and antidumping duties totaling 107% on their pasta brands will make doing business in America too costly and are preparing to pull out of U.S. stores as soon as January.” Via WSJ

I wonder if any future historians who write about this moment in time, will make a note of Trump being savagely booed by tens of thousands of people literally at the same time that 8 Democrats bent the knee.

Well, at least this gave Kash Patel time to scrub the Epstein Files.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy. "I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

"save your anger for 2026" wait you think I'll run out in a year this is why I hate amateurs

Another case of headline sabotage

"The soldiers who agreed to talk confirmed the IDF’s routine use of human shields, contradicting official denials, and gave details of Israeli troops opening fire unprovoked on civilians racing to reach food handouts..." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

This is absolutely right. The eight who signed off on this disaster of a deal were acting as a shield for colleagues who are up this cycle. Don't let any of them off the hook just yet.

Shaheen cutting deals to screw everyone over before she retires while her daughter runs for office going oh no this is bad I wouldn't do it vote for me feels like a total psy op

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?

where is this idea coming from that zohran mamdani believes that israel is the greatest evil in the world? what has he ever said or done to give the impression? it's completely delusional. it's a worldview ascribed to him with no basis in reality.

Then fuck off from a job you are here admitting you can't do and let someone who can do it instead

Because many struggle with math…

Jeffries is frustrating, but if you want House Dems to treat this constitutional crisis like a constitutional crisis, you've got to start with your own Dem Rep (if you have one). We'll have a resource on this soon.

I sometimes think about what would happen if Prince had used Twitter

My two year old has more courage when he dared to follow through with his threat to leave the house naked today if he can’t bring frozen waffles on the car.

I am not going to let Schumer and 8 center-right Democrats bring me down. We won on Tuesday. We're gonna keep winning. Just keep telling the stories of what the Trump administration is doing and how it's making lives so much harder, about the corruption, the incompetence, the violence.

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems. My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

If the turncoat 8 are what happens when you have a big tent, time to get a smaller tent

"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?" Me for Zeteo's First Draft this morning on the Democratic surrender in the Senate:
