It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

No health care, no deal.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

@unholypod.bsky.social I really enjoy the podcast though I felt Yair Rosenberg gave in to a lot of kneejerk reactions to Mamdani, and a lot of dumb right wing propaganda.

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

We have the meats -- come and take them

Left: Everyone should be able to sit under their own vine! Right: You're trying to make me sit under your vine! Left: ... Right: I'm projecting again, aren't I? Left: Little bit. Right: Sorry -- it's just that you're all pedophiles trying to steal elections.... Damn it, I'm doing it again.

“not great, bob”

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Feels like this will be a useful meme for the next few years

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments? Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

the adl is no longer, by its own definition, america’s preeminent jewish civil rights organization — because it’s no longer a civil rights organization at all

@wizardthieffighter.bsky.social Thanks so much for the standard seacat template, it's been a bit help and I recommend it to everyone: wizardthieffighter.itch.io/standardcat-...

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

many conversations I have had with complete normie libs, the kind who have a tote bag from donating to NPR and shop at Whole Foods, involve the kind of rhetoric that under no circumstances should be put on the internet people are very mad

I've tuned my feed so well to our current apocalypse that I nearly missed all the future apocalypses (and even, maybe, utopias) promised in @apexmag.bsky.social 's kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/ape...

Increasingly we need candidates who'd be comfortable cutting a wrestling promo

I've seen a lot of "gotta give it to Trump" takes that ignore this point.

“A second inflatable frog has now been spotted wiggling through Portland.”

I'm a single issue voter now, my issue: revenge

hey chatgpt can you make an image with some uhhhhhh Jewish stuff in it

May I also suggest a maximum age?

When Trump starts staying at Bezos’s yacht, will the press call that the Maritime White House?

I saw Goody Proctor with the Devil drinking lattes.

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

How many people have been assigned to create an AI version of Kirk to host a late night talk show forever?

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

College prez: we need more challenging ideas Goose: what ideas Goose: what ideas, motherfucker

Calling peoples' employers in a rage because their tributes to Robert Redford weren't horny enough

Acts of political violence aren’t acceptable. Non-political school shootings aren’t acceptable. Sacking the legislature isn’t acceptable. Military occupation of peaceful American cities isn’t acceptable. Abductions conducted in courthouse hallways by masked agents of the state aren’t acceptable.

“The only real politics I knew was that if a guy liked Hitler, I’d beat the stuffing out of him and that would be it.” - Jack Kirby Happy birthday King

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

Power exists for those who are willing to organize for it and to take it.

Its literally the midwit meme where at first knowing little its just slavery and then you learn all of the different strains of causes, the economic, political, and social distinctions and then you keep learning and figure out all those differences existed to support slavery

You don’t win an award for being the most not-surprised, is the thing

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Helpful tip: every time someone brings up Mamdani and his rent stabilized apartment, you say, "Trump is fucking up long-term investment in the American economy." If you cannot do your job, then get out of the way.

The cure for male loneliness is this shit right here. Harmless gonzo shit with your friends where you all get to laugh about how stupid you all are.

I say this a lot, but it bears repeating: when Trump tears down mediocre institutions, we will replace them with radical institutions. Our vision of government was constrained by norms. If those norms are gone? Fine, those norms are gone, and with them the constraints are gone. LFG.

how about a solo RPG journaling game where you write about how your day went, what you're feeling, what your hopes and fears are. I guess I could make an oracle deck to help guide what questions to answer

Thousands of NY Jews demand an end to genocide, an end to mass starvation, and end to occupation. Never Again. #JewsSayNoMore @jfrejnyc.bsky.social @ifnotnowmovement.org

Discovered today that not everyone considers this nine year old viral tweet a seminal text in the field of social media studies but I do

Surprised that this remarkable investigation into how Netanyahu prolonged the war in Gaza — killing tens of 1000s of civilians — for his own benefit has not gotten more attention. So: gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/11/m...

my considered opinion is that the framers would have had most of congress, all of this white house, and most of the supreme court hanged

they tried to "un-woke a robot and it went full nazi" is something out of a 30 Rock TV show

Again: there is not some other approach whereby the NYT could represent the right more & still do high-quality, multiply-sourced, factchecked journalism. It's a null set. That's not journalism's fault, it's the right's fault.
