Memetic evolution. It is suboptimal for it to make you just horny if there's also an opportunity to make you mad and jealous. Maybe the best argument for being "horny on main" is that horniness will otherwise be cloaked in pathological discourse and will crowd out the simpler kind.

Fucking terrible idea, we need to do everything we can to undermine the idea that people shouldn't pay taxes. Taxes are not a punishment, taxes are how we contribute to the collective welfare of society.

is 212 more or less than 218, the greatest question in the history of politics

I do not mean this in a negative way, but...this is actually good? The skeet mentioned the "Governor Polis (D)" If he's not your state governor and you don't know them, maybe you just shouldn't care? We need to keep more politics local!

If you really can't say "AOC is better than Tucker Carlson," you are on the right-wing. You see a basket of extreme right-wing views from one of Trump's friends and find it compelling. Nothing else you say about your political orientation makes the slightest difference, you're just a right-winger.

I worry about the fertility rate if it's a systemic thing that people don't actually want. As in, it's bad if a low fertility rate is because people are too scared/unsettled to have kids, but would otherwise want them.

Chat, look at who's president right now. You are allowed to complain about prices and blame it on him. Not only is it fine, it is your patriotic duty

Everything MPU posts about data centers is complete garbage. They have zero respect for their audience. Literally no one here is losing power. This post is a complete lie. 🧵

For 45 years, Berkeley built virtually no new housing. By the mid-2010s, it was one of the most expensive college towns in America. Around that time, YIMBYs took over and kicked off a building boom. Today, rents are below 2018 levels in nominal terms—a remarkable case of progress on affordability.

“For the good of society, your son will work in the trades. Oh, my son? My son will be a titan of politics and industry. For the good of society, your daughter will be a tradwife. Oh, my daughter? My daughter will host a lucrative rightwing podcast.”

The idea of America is that whole blood and soil shit doesn't matter. Someone who became a citizen 10 minutes ago is as much an American as someone who can trace lineage to the mayflower

Thought other politicians just hated Mamdami's guts so much because of racism, but he seems to be setting the kind of standards they Really don't want to meet so maybe he scares the shit out of them because he's showing everyone how easy it would be to actually do their damn jobs

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Is there a chance anti AI sentiment ends up becoming a big glonzo moment

What a bunch of cucks

A thousand generations of my ancestors would have given their right hands to have my email job. This rules.

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

I hope these guys understand that "tax the rich" is the moderate centrist solution to the problem here.

“Perfect little schoolmarms” is a revealing phrase. Remember, receiving a compliment from Liz Cheney is unacceptable but actually killing a bunch of Iraqis and enjoying it is no big deal.

Hillary was right about everything.

So many thinkpieces like this just boil down to "I miss being a teen and being in my 20's." And yeah, we all do. I miss not needing glasses and not having sleep problems and aches and pains, and friends without responsibilities so we could hang out. The world wasn't better, you were just young.

"I realize now the excitement wasn't in the cigarette. It was in the possibility that it raised." That's fine I guess, you miss the social aspect of smoking. But my response is...you can just do stuff. You don't need an excuse.

“I wanna do what I wanna do without feeling bad about it” remains the most toxic ideology known to man

I mean I understand neither poly-sci nor history, but there's a part of me that thinks this is Fall-of-Rome type shit. You cannot maintain a democracy where the average citizen rejects the idea that they have any obligation back to society.

Good morning. Someone is always going to make money on real estate. The price of housing is set by supply and demand. High housing cost cities are letting landlords and homeowners get rich off of housing scarcity. We should let developers make money building new homes for people to live in instead.

Inject this into my veins!!!

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

"The company added that it hasn’t seen a noticeable increase recently in the number of people donating plasma."

Happy tax day! This should be a civic holiday, we should have a parade and give out taxpayer awards. ruthbraunstein.substack.com/p/what-does-...

Progressives are in a state of collective delusion about this. Right now unemployment is 4.3%. Inflation is 3%. Real wages have been increasing. And consumers literally think it's the worst economy IN MODERN HISTORY. Yes it's funny it's happening to Trump. But it will (and did) happen to us, too!

PSA to European leftists: if you want to copy Zohran’s cost of living policies, you should know what those policies actually are. and one of Zohran’s most important policies is making it easier to build a ton of housing by explicitly rejecting NIMBYism

Pope Leo: "I have no fear, neither of the Trump administration nor speaking out loudly about the message of the gospel."

Damn, they actually fire bombed the Walmart

"When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, "By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on."

'Gov. Spanberger signed a bill to end the renewal of commemorative Robert E. Lee license plates in Virginia. A portion of the sale of these plates has previously supported the neo-Confederate organization Sons of Confederate Veterans.' #CivilWarMemory www.wavy.com/news/virgini...

Mamdani is not just filling the potholes with the crew. He's creating a visual and personal reminder of the dignity inherent in all of these anonymous government jobs.

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

Not the first to make this observation, but Mamdani's political superpower basically seems to be that he is happy and enjoys life.

The idea that Joe Biden was “genocidal” is ridiculous and I have had enough of treating the people who say such things as if they have intellect or character

yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.

literal sewer socialism let's fucking go

The current 12-game Jeopardy champion works at an affordable housing finance agency in NJ, and shamed New York for not building more housing: "NJ's doing really well, we're ahead of NY, CT, PA. If you're from one of those states, shame on you, build more housing."

1/ The US attempted to send several Iran-bound bombers to an Italian air base without prior authorisation and was refused permission by the Italian government while the aircraft were in flight. The news comes a day after Spain disclosed it was refusing US military overflights. ⬇️

Hot dog populism

The thing about the leftists who are radicalized into antisemitism by their grief over Palestine is that they are so very very similar to people who are radicalized into Islamophobia by their grief over some other atrocity and they cannot see it.

Those few seconds of freedom when your first work computer login attempt doesn’t work and you think, maybe today’s the day
