I really hate that "AIPAC" has become the "Soros" of the left

The beef is full of parasites, the lettuce is full of bacteria, this is how to Make America Healthy Again

feels like a real landmark of impunity that major corporations are making federal crimes part of the interview process

We need Broken Windows theory but just for white collar crime.

I think the subtext here is that a large share of the economy right now depends on scamming people. It's not that "the business community" thinks the regulation is unreasonable, they just know that their companies make a lot of money from this scam bsky.app/profile/donm...

I’m kind of convinced that a big part of the Mamdani thing is coming from people on the broad right who think he should be a wedge for Democrats in a way that AFAICT he is not

Everyone talks about how their parents helped them launch a 503(c)(3). But if parents really wanted to help, they'd move the family to South Dakota.

Strangely yesterday evening I had an unprompted flashback to the time our CEO vetoed a candidate for a midlevel accounting manager position despite she passed several rounds of interviews, all because she graduated from SF State. Later hired someone with similar years of experience and UCLA degree.

I feel like if the Bee is outplaying you then someone on staff should be forced to commit seppuku.

i do not like this at all

It's a massive theft of our tax dollars from us. Intolerable.

It's not too early for contestants to put out videos about oysters for 2028. Gravelly voices plus.

Probably residual from prepping drugs for horses. A compounding veterinary pharmacy sent out contaminated polio vaccine which ultimately lead to the incredible regulation and safety record. Good book by Offit from before he went around the bend about it: yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300...

Oh goody, it’s the adverse selection death spiral. (That is in fact its technical name. Really.)

That is not how "law" works. A thing is lawful or not; "voters" come into the picture elsewhere, by voting for people to change the law. And this extra-judicial "voters" argument fails on its own logic: what power do voters have over a second-term President? Or have we just abandoned that law too?

Any NATO leader has a chance to do the funniest thing

This woman has been the subject of three NYT pieces in 2025-26

Oh man there are parts of the country where activists are looking to DOWNZONE in 2026? That is fucking crazy lmao “Downzoning to lower land values and thus increase housing affordability” is crank shit from the 1970’s good lord. Not even California left NIMBYs will advocate for this shit anymore.

in fairness i feel like a lot of Labour MPs have probably been sending Starmer pistols with a single bullet of late.

THEY MADE CARTER SELL HIS FARM

one of my unpopular (to americans) opinions is that primaries are a pretty flawed way of choosing candidates and only superficially have more democratic legitimacy than “smoke-filled rooms”

This is good stuff from Rahm. I won't vote for him because he's way too centrist-brained for me, but everything he said here is what Israel needs to hear.

little to add to Platner discourse that others haven't said better. so i'll just say once again that the era of consequence free politics is no good and it is important to bring back shame

Trump should swing for all this many people are saying.

feel strongly that animals should only get melee or poison-type attacks. none of this wizardry bullshit.

How do white guys run around with their shirts off and not get skin cancer Do they really put on like five cubic feet of sunscreen

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

VAR is terrorism and must be stopped if we want a free and fair society ever again

suggest The Group Chats stop doing political strategy and start doing what my friend group chat does: spend the time Naming Guys, live-respond to sporting events, and ruin each other's algos by sending each other insane anticircumcison reels and weird Gundam fake-dubs

I have some good news for you from last month... www.npr.org/2026/06/13/n...

Someone needs to do a populism about the US getting stuck with crappy sunscreen for regulatory reasons.

Quick, prophesy Trump's death, before the golden light leaves your hands

I’m blaming that all on Trump

That’s what happens when you get rid of the department of defense

something i don't fucking understand is we are at tank bottoms - and have been for >two weeks!! - in crude, we're well below '22 lows in distillates, and.... nothing has fucking happened? there's basically no signs of operational stress in the system?

The have reversed the logic of democracy: they are no longer accountable to us; we are accountable to them

Tennessee is a permitless carry state.

Donald Trump has stolen billions of dollars. But the liberals at my World Cup watch party kept saying “Cabo Verde.” I have never felt more politically homeless.

HEROES

Path straightforward from here: 1. Cabo Verde takes out Argentina (Fri) 2. Trump dies of heart attack / accumulated evil (Sat) 3. Cake for everyone (Sun)

discourse about whether you should root for the us is boring, we should all be focusing on what the world cup is really about (hating argentina)

When I say it's wrong to trade minority rights away for things like zoning reform, I don't mean it's morally wrong (it is), I mean it is wrong as in that's an offer that's not on and never will be on the table you fucking moron.

Every time someone argues this, DC gets turned into one more state Some say that DC doesn't need 10000 senators but I say those people are cowards

It's pretty funny that Bluesky is certain than an indictment is the same thing as factual guilt in some contexts

I am having the problem that sweat bands solve But consider: sweat bands look incredibly dorky

Local creek is not so much flowing as puddling More rain pls

What's the German word for when you do something really stupid but then you do something really stupid that cancels it out?

cat seems strikingly indifferent to soccer though that cat is an introverted theater kid

This is the most purely anti-American thing I've ever heard a politician say, but the media is too obsessed with 3 DSA candidates winning local elections in NY to pay any attention I guess.
