Did Weird Al karaoke last night, so yeah you could say I’m famous

Picked up the keys yesterday for a two bedroom market-rate apartment I’m moving into with my girlfriend that is renting at 60% AMI (and was built within the last 5 years). Something tenant advocates, legal advocacy orgs, and community groups have categorically said cannot happen.

The planter campaign is interesting. He’s clearly a POS and the people who stay coalesced around Platner are a weird alliance of anti-woke but otherwise liberal centrist types and certain kinds of manosphere adjacent leftists

SoFo trivia is way too packed tonight gonna have to skip this one

Finally put up some shelves, now to collect my library from my parents

Top two primaries are so fucking stupid just do ranked choice why is this so hard

Love getting Stans bc sometimes they have the most wonderfully crafted chicken sandwich, and then other times it seems they’re prepared by someone who has never heard of sandwiches before

He’s trying to steal our coffee

Chemicals in the water (I was a frog at the time)

Too nice not to be outside rn

Re: Pattie Gonia You people are just horny for 👨‍🦰

Not that it matters but I would put money down on Talarico having higher T levels in his blood that either Miller or Paxton

First time I’ve been in a hospital built in the 21st century… I feel like I’m in House

If we want high quality expert scientists or administrators who run large organizations in Congress (or any legislature) then congressional pay has to be commiserate with the private sector pay those people can earn. This reduces corruption for exactly the reason lil Mikey here is exposing

Redditors should not be allowed to be politicians

So true

Just as Washington and Jefferson would’ve wanted

Party

Is the beach more of a rn noon thing or a mid afternoon thing

Fucking finally, gotta hit the beach to celebrate the arrival of actual warm weather

Hanging out w people you don’t really like is like a ruined orgasm

Someone quick, we need a bingo for the idiosyncratic and incoherent beliefs this shooter holds

“Pornography is the unseen dark matter molding and shaping how the online right speaks and thinks about politics, on anything from immigration to transgender people to higher education.” www.liberalcurrents.com/the-interrac...

This is getting some interesting replies, and I would like to expand upon this When somebody rejoins with "America was always racist," or "Germany was always antisemitic," or, more generally, "We aren't better than this," what has happened is a complete failure to play a language game

I absolutely hate that if excel crashes and you open the auto recovered file, if you go to save it, it links back to the random temp folder it’s in instead of asking if you want to override the original

Kinda obsessed that the DNC hid its 2024 autopsy bc it was written by a moron and not that is blamed something politically sensitive

Yeah I’m pretty pro-panopticon for anything involving cars. Speed governors, automated license plate readers, ignition interlocks for people with more than one DUI. Sorry, your rights to privacy ended when you began operating a multi ton piece of heavy machinery around me!

Big woke is transing your codebase

you’re telling me a gay restored these powers?

I’m such a stickler that I have nightmares about breaking the rules 🤓👆

Oh my god, this is unbelievable: the striking LIRR worker complaining that Hochul “has money for everything except our salaries” LITERALLY MADE MORE MONEY THAN HOCHUL DID LAST YEAR

They should’ve put him in a little tuxedo

Sub 1% libertarian party run incoming

I’ve soured on him a little over the last couple years but I think people are imagining a wider gap between his politics and AOC’s (for example) than really exists

This is just a death cult devoid of any sense of facts or reality

I can’t decide if I want to go out rn or not

Wrong. Limiting my choice for a hyper specific blend of cherry and vanilla coke is criminal

this is a good example of what I’m talking about when I say that people like stoller are completely irrelevant on the platforms that actually reach people. he thinks that if you’re not on X, you’re not anywhere. meanwhile, half of americans get their news and politics from youtube and tiktok

Not for nothing, but I think a lot of people have wrongly settled on “Twitter became a right-wing cesspool because all the cool people left” instead of “All the cool people left because Twitter became a right-wing cesspool.”

I don’t think this aligns with the reality of public opinion polling

while the Republican gerrymanders will likely not be enough to stop the democratic wave this year, we still: 1. will likely have a smaller majority, meaning we can’t nominate any 80+ reps who could die in office 2. need to retaliate for 2028 3. need to pack the court and pass DC statehood

Controversial opinion but Aliens is the second worst one

Grandparents gave me some 1950s boy scout’s stamp collection. Idk what to do with it. I’m keeping the random imperial Japanese currency I found in it though, that’s kinda cool.

Exactly my thinking. More reps, multimember districts, and party lists.

Pete Buttigieg: “My second greatest fear for my party is if we win in November that we forget that a return to the prior status quo is not the right answer either”

at the end of the day, I think a lot of brains are being broken from the fact that 1. being opposed to to Israel’s government is not anti-semitic 2. many anti-semites oppose Israel’s government but it doesn’t change the fact that both of these statements are true!

You rang?
