meeting people who mainline gpt slop all day but dismiss wikipedia as unreliable because a teacher didn't let them cite it 20 years ago

Existence of Mamdani in the media criticism discourse is so useful because it demonstrates what the media could be doing to Trump if they ACTUALLY thought that he was an aberrant threat to our Republic. Not that you need to do this for Trump but: You can just write negative stories based on nothing!

“Multifamily housing is for young renters and the poor while single family homes are for established adults with children” is a really pernicious folk theory about how housing markets should work that I think is foundational to so much bad housing policy at all levels of government.

"What has changed compared to previous oil crises and oil price scares - even the 2021-22 one - is how affordable the clean energy solutions needed to replace oil and gas imports are." This is the KEY point made by @laurimyllyvirta.bsky.social There are Alternatives now. bsky.app/profile/70sb...

Watched some Unrivaled tonight and it’s kinda nuts how good it is. The quality of the play, the buy-in from the players and fans, the flow of the game… what do you mean this is an offseason 3-on-3 league they invented last year???

#nerevs aren’t good enough whine this much @nerevolution.bsky.social

it’s kind of incredible that a bunch of former skinhead guys have managed to be on the right side of politics practically every time for more than a quarter century

if i had chatgpt in college i would have used it and i would not have struggled to do my school work, job work, etc and this would have bred complacency and missed goals in the long run. not sure how we expect the next generation to thrive if they never learn how to convert anxiety to achievement

Jessie Diggins finishes 5th in her final Olympic race — the first women's 50km at the Olympics. It's a race she helped push for after decades where the men raced 50km and the women only got to do 30km. No medal today, but a huge victory.

four years ago, figure skating looked like a sport where the way to win was by driving literal children to the point of mental breakdown with Alysa Liu's win, it looks like a sport where the way to win is giving your talented skaters agency, the freedom to be themselves, and letting them find joy

🇺🇸 Let's celebrate the indomitable Campbell Wright. What a HUGE anchor leg for him. He took over in 11th position. He crosses the line in 5th. That's the BEST EVER finish for the US Men at an Olympic relay. Big time performance from Campbell today to lead the charge! #biathlon

I've never been a conspiracy theory guy, but you're never gonna convince me that there hasn't been a specific cabal of ultra-rich dullards trying to buy, strangle, and bring to heel all of the most important reality-shaping machines since the uptick in power labor had during COVID

Well, my fellow Maine voters. Here is Susan Collins today paying tribute to her boss while holding her MAGA hat.

i feel for all the radical centrists out there now confronting the fact that their ideology was the one built in a bubble and formed by groupthink. with enough exposure to facts and logic they will, some day god willing, catch up to the left

Am wondering why more Democratic politicians aren’t joining in organic displays of resistance and protest in Minnesota. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

Not sure why but this one uniquely offends me

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics

Well they should stop being such immense cowards and say so. They should say the thing they want to happen. How is this so hard for everyone to understand

The real chad maneuver would be for some of these people to realize, in light of Stancil's current behavior & demonstrated values, that he was right online the whole time, and they were wrong.

WATCH: Student Kenneth Santizo captured ICE and FBI officers stopping a family on their way to church in the Boston suburbs last May. Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.” Gift link: wapo.st/4sG38CD

WATCH: Trump shows his middle finger and appears to say "fuck you" after Ford worker yells "pedophile protector" - TMZ

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

crazy how hard the administration is pushing on this

Great day for my favorite FIFA 08 team!

It finishes Macclesfield 2, Crystal Palace 1. It's the biggest upset in FA Cup history. 117 league places between the two teams is the biggest gap overcome. Macclesfield are a semi-pro National League North team (sixth-tier), Premier League Palace are the current holders. #FACup #footy-live

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

A bajillion dollars spent on consultants and endless obsession over squashing the left to protect party messaging just to produce this. You can care about the President's reckless and illegal imperialism and his economic incompetence at the same time, but this just trivializes both.

@michaelhobbes.bsky.social @notalawyer.bsky.social Early worst take of the year candidate? Boston should be more like Dallas www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/05/o...

A college sophomore at an Occupy rally could not have generated such a grotesque outsized caricature of US imperialism

Bus tracking/route finding apps were what made me finally switch from flip to smart phone. Such a technological upgrade!

This brainrot is more responsible for the rise of authoritarianism in the US than any of the wokeness it will not shut up about

AI companies are playing a game wherein these computer programs are presented to the public as autonomous individuals capable of issuing a meaningful apology. The machine is just a machine. Human beings owe the apology for building the machine irresponsibly and unleashing it on the world.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

one thing i have found is that some people come to my tiktoks asking me to provide esoteric truths and get frustrated when my answers are much less exciting

A photo of David Brooks palling around with Epstein in the latest Epstein files drop three weeks after he wrote a column chiding America for caring about the Epstein story is some serious Rafael Palmeiro shit.

I am losing my mind DO ANY OF THESE JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT VENEZUELA IS NOT ON THE PACIFIC THAT THE CARIBBEAN SEA DOES NOT TOUCH THE PACIFIC THAT IN FACT THIS IS WHAT THE PANAMA CANAL WAS BUILT FOR WTF IS THE EASTERN PACIFIC PLEASE LOOK AT A MAP

In an odd say this is one of the places where the lack of a liberal Fox News really hurts both Dems and American in general. If this were reversed it would be constantly covered in Left partisan media than picked up at the same rate by centrist media. Instead super important questions arent asked

Genuinely quite upset that I now have to live the rest of my life asking if things are AI or not actually.

It happened.

I've seen this complexion before

God only knows how many people Ska has saved

all of you constantly shit talk ska, but where else are you going to get eight band nerds with limited social skills to learn how to talk to people, you should be praising ska to the heavens for your coworker who played saxophone in high school knowing how to hold a conversation at work

Sincerely, if I was a Dem executive and had an idea this was going to happen, I’d deploy armed officers to bar any intruders from the citizenship ceremony until it was complete. A sacred space and a sacred obligation, and letting fascist goons pick people off at the front door is an abomination
