im still of the mind that trump isnt gay, but a type of flamboyance allowed to hetero reactionaries that only existed in 70/80s new york

Just saw “fuck ICE” written in what I assume is urine in the snow in an NYC park, with pretty excellent pen(is)manship

Never heard literally any of his songs and that stunned me and brought tears to my eyes

JD Vance looks like yassified Chucky

like at a certain point it is easier to just run a candidate with popular policies than a dogshit one with awful policies who you have to somehow scold people into pretending is good. far too much work, that

ELON MUSK: your island is so freaking like, based. it's seriously like effing amazeballs. i'm going to basically be making like all of mars totally just like the same as how epic this is STEPHEN HAWKING: jeff rey why, did you in vite, this lame, ass nerd

In addition to being bad, this is all pretty stupid.

this is your mission. roll up to this daycare in full tactical gear to harass some kids and teachers. when you get spooked by your own shadow like a panicked horse and start shooting your gun, our pedophile president will call the person you shot a terrorist. good luck soldier

1) Venezuela has a government. 2) This is being thrown together at the last minute by people who—amazing as it sounds—are even less intelligent, qualified, and competent than the GWBush-era dunces who tried to make imperialism happen in Iraq & Afghanistan and failed miserably. What could go wrong?

another morning when it’s an existentially shameful thing to be an american huh

Nancy Mace, MTG, Indiana Republicans, and on and on. People who are suddenly finding the concept of conscience when they themselves are threatened. i have a special place in my big tent for them. it's a nice area under a big sign that says shut the fuck up, you don't get any input.

The simple reality of gen-AI/LLMs is that this is all a lot of hand waving to attempt to get to AGI before the bubble pops. But the chasm between what these models churn out now and what a human-equivalent intelligence could create with skill is larger than the Pacific.

Unreal. Both the Democratic "Moderate Party" candidates quoted here lost by 8 points while the most important city in the country, one county over, elected a Muslim socialist immigrant for mayor

I was surprised i hadn't seen anyone isolate this yet, I think the actual disgusting thing here is that none of the other journalists there stick up for her or ask her question again or anything else. They act like it didn't even happen.

thank you chuck schumer 🫡 as so called political experts warned "you have no pants on" and "your whole ass is hanging out," it took incredible resolve to stand up and say, "Damn right my ass is hanging out! It's hanging out for the AMERICAN PEOPLE to look at. I like when everyone has to see it."

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

i hope to see enterprising democrats announce their intent to retire schumer and gillibrand over the next two years.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

the fundamental central operating premise of this entire dominant ecosystem of what passes for the institutional "left" in this country is that you must carefully calibrate what you believe in light of what you perceive certain demographics to believe. but what wins elections is believing in shit

There’s no reasonable way to explain this policy change except bald racial preference. Any reporting on it worth its salt should really say that.

We need to get out the vote like we’re 10 points behind instead of ahead. New Yorkers need this change take a moment today to do everything you can to help.

A tactical fecal excretion (TFE) has been kinetically executed in the MYPANTSCOM area of responsibility

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

does it have something to do with the literal richest men in the history of the world waging a longterm propaganda campaign on behalf of the Republican Party in exchange for wealth and power beyond human comprehension

I dunno… after looking up images of this thing I’m kind of with Emma. Seems plausible that this just looked like a skull and crossbones Trust me, I’m very wary of this race producing a Fetterman or worse, and of course knowingly selecting a Nazi tattoo is immediately disqualifying. But yeah i dunno

I’m beginning to feel “Mariner Rage”

Radio free tom when exactly should we get in a lather When is it not unseemly for us to work up the lather

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

people don’t like voting for people they view as cowards don’t be a coward if you want people to vote for you

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

Feels like a good moment to mention that as a teenager, without knowing their religious/political bent, I thought the LEFT BEHIND books looked super cool and always meant to read them purely on the strength of their cover design

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

if you have a billion dollars you should be legally designated a dragon and any human can adventure against you

One thing Succession got bang-on correct was that the slightly-less-horrible heirs to the Murdoch empire were never going to save us. They were just looking to maximize their return

Slightly diminish a book Fairly Loud and Fairly Close

It's important to understand that many people at the top of US journalism genuinely aren't interested in American history or politics. So that's not their skill set. What they do care about it, and are good at, is going to fancy DC parties.

“Life is but a dream…” man we’re really dumping kids into the deep end early here aren’t we

Incredible that they’ve successfully created a media environment around Trump where he has absolutely no chance of being asked about this straightforward connection (that his immigration and economic policies have harmed and will continue to harm the housing market)

I’m sure certain centrist and right-wing media personalities having a years-long obsession with many of these terms and amplifying/lampooning every use of them from every college student on the internet has nothing to do with why sone of them might poll badly

I’m seeing even “good” media outlets report the maxwell transcript headline as basically “trump cleared” and it is truly disheartening. We’ve learned nothing after all this time. What are we doing. What have we been doing all this time?

Newsom has proved that he will set aside every liberal ideal you think he holds for the sake of power. You simply can’t trust him. I don’t object to him forcefully opposing Trump where he can, but the reason people qualify their support is that he’s a snake.

I’m a stereotypical Radiohead guy and so I’m very excited about newly mixed live cuts from the Hail To The Thief era that dropped today That said, Thom Yorke’s repeated “YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION” screams hit uncomfortably hard now as the country lurches further and further into the abyss
