the thing where communists think you haven't read the Communist Manifesto if you don't agree with them is even funnier if you know most of them haven't read the Communist Manifesto

Leo, one of your predecessors excommunicated a holy roman emperor over political conflict that pales in comparison to this, dot eh right thing and enjoy bliss in the next life 🪷

I think this is already happening to some extent but we gotta bring back the concept of ‘selling out’ because what else can you call taking blood money from a slaver monarch

is this anything?

I'll put this marker down now: if we go into a shutdown and Dems actually hold the line and don't immediately cave, their poll numbers will go up 90% of the reason their numbers are so low with non-Rs is they've managed exactly zero concrete opposition so far

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15. I'm running for Governor to change that.

Obama chuckled. "You mean the Chaos Emeralds?"

not Great Value Phil Leotardo 😭

You cannot have a functioning classroom under these conditions. As I've said before, classroom surveillance has been a much bigger and more damaging change to campus than wokeness.

RUWA ROMMAN IS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR????

just saw a obama fancam with rachel maddow narration with a million likes on tiktok we’re getting retvrn propaganda for the obama years

i’m the secretary of defense, and this is jackass

The Coates interview is another tally on the board for afropessimism unfortunately

These are literally the guys who shout "IT'S DA BAT" and then waddle to get around the corner before Batman forces their skull to touch their pelvis.

Kind of unrelated to the main thread but If you call any quote out of context you have to start divesting yourself of the person in question as a part of your identity

honestly one of my firmer beliefs is a lowkey hostility to hyperlocalism, because it almost always end up with governing institutions dominated by a fixed, renting and transgressive majority that is extremely difficult to break up

what will it take for democratic senators to recognize that being credulous rubes doesn’t give them bipartisan credentials, and instead only demoralizes the party base and pisses off everyone

FWIW i dont see him on the barnes and noble shelves and they put up fucking anything here

“Am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening?” What a remarkable statement from the single most powerful individual in the world. Fascinating look into a person’s mind.

like, it's one of those myths that crumbles if you actually think about it for even a few seconds and yet bsky.app/profile/toob...

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

Vichy democrats conceive of something like trans people playing sports as “why are you willing to die on this hill” whereas those of us that are trans think “if you can’t defend kids playing sports with their friends, why should we trust you with our healthcare?”

Exactly. Ezra insists in this interview that a republican victory is much more catastrophic for trans people than a Democratic victory, and does very little to articulate exactly why and what exactly he wants to do for us when Dems are elected.

This cartoon by artist Frank Ape grounded me today #artmatters

If you’re under the age of 30 you’ve been living in a great recession economy since chatGPT came out

Yo kids I know the evil emperor's sending in the troops to do dystopian dictatorship stuff and that's not cool, but you know what really matters? A temporary extension of health insurance subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.

Whenever people talk about "luxury housing," I remember there are literal mansions in Hartford, CT that are now selling for less than it costs to buy a starter home in Silicon Valley. If we judge luxury by market value, there is no housing that is intrinsically, permanently "luxury housing."

yeah they’re not gonna seat anybody after the midterms without extreme public outcry and we should be prepared to supply it

I need the NYC mayor race to end so we can finally get the high profile 2026 primary announcements

that… wasn’t the point of the book?

Yeah the idea that humanoid robots are remotely functional without the entire cognitive infrastructure of the brain is so silly. arms are a swiss army knife of manual labor. You’re better off just making automated tools with limited software

This is the real environmental impact of AI; the water thing is negligible/the math isn't what it sounds like but the power consumption is INSANE

The Supreme Court ceased to exist when, in a 9-0 decision, they ordered CO to violate the Constitution for the benefit of an insurrectionist.

my art college peers are posting voter registration links on their instagram story the mikie sherrill doxxing thing has been a boon for her I think

I guess my point here is that MAGA has become totally unashamed to admit that they are racist, but somehow the rest of society has become ashamed to call them racist. Which gives them this incredible advantage of being able to express openly racist ideas and never be called on it

I’m not sure why this is being passed around like some damning indictment. Most Americans are Christian and “Jesus will come again” is one of Christianity’s bedrock tenets. “He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end” is part of the Nicene Creed

i’m so owned you found my 3 tweets containing her name and they’re mildly positive

guys does my page give off khive vibes be honest

Ezra Klein should step off the three-ways with Bari Weiss, it’s clearly throwing him off his game

lmfao

i think monmouth county is gonna be east coast LA in the next couple decades

I think my favorite people are artists and librarians.

WE ARE SO BACK

I think left wing police reform advocates should be looking heavily towards Camden. once synonymous with homicide in NJ the city just had its first summer with no recorded homicides, thanks to drastic reform measures that included disbanding the CPD and reorienting toward a social model of policing

Me whenever people start talking about declining fertility rates or gender relations

Alright. It's official. I got wrongfully terminated from my job over my posts over Charlie Kirk's death. Please consider supporting me in this trying time. I won't have unemployment benefits coming in for over a month and I still have bills to pay. gofund.me/b272b7f71

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...
