"Hi, we're here to talk about following the PRC's lead in socialist internationalism—" "Reorient your entire economy to making Happy Meal toys for Americans." "No, there must be some—" "Help Reagan give aid to South African backed Angolan paramilitaries to kill ANC fighters and Cubans."

this comment in the thread didn't even bother removing the visible Gemini watermark

regarding "gentrification" and "displacement" rhetoric. my mom was a Teamster produce buyer for Safeway in 1986 when she bought a home in a mostly-Black part of Richmond, CA. So I grew up a working-class white kid in a multiracial neighborhood. Isn't that what we on the left *want* for America?

“i wish all these people re-posting the Rolling Stones articles about a supposed “journalist” going to Las Vegas and taking rides with Richard Nixon would talk to MY friends who work in the intake in ERs and in substance abuse clinics around California. Not so funny, imo.” — 1970s Bluesky User

If the DNC had any imagination, it would make this video famous as exemplifying the party’s agenda and attitude. bsky.app/profile/ohro...

Admittedly I think this isn't terribly accurate as I answered neutral on some questions about stuff which I have more detailed oppinions on than just agree/disagree and "it depends" isnt an option. britmonkey.com/2020s-politi...

What are you doing Slate?

You've possied your last insane clown

Chilling. But they can’t visit us all. Jonathan Ross killed Renee Good. He must face justice

Man screw James Carville, but also remember that, thankfully, this man hasn't been anywhere near a position of power or influence in the Democratic establishment in 3 decades. The media is doing everything it can to push Dems in disarray messaging after a couple of progressive candidates won.

Guys, James is talking about Chevalier in this quote and her "frustration with Mamdani" as being reported in this via anonymous sources talking about private conversations, aka gossip. Stop letting the Hill et al get you rilled up on idle gossip of dubious accuracy.

Nuclear plant uprates hell yeah!! (The video talks mainly about uprating the Westinghouse 2 and 4 loop fleets, not BWRs like Dresden but overall point is the same)

Reminder that community leaders of Jeffries district have a long standing beef with the NYCDSA that has almost nothing to do with left vs right policies & any reporting about how two politicians who don't meaningfully interact in their official duties feel about each other is chasing cheap headlines

Thanks in no small part to that little kerfuffle in the 40's the large majority of European housing stock is in fact not centuries old. Also, my house is ≈150 years old and has central air, solar, and a geothermal heat pump, I think most people can figure out how to at least fit a mini-split

I've noticed a horseshoe theory sort of thing where the far left and right both seem to have a thing about making others "bend the knee", which on the left is really noticeable when people still bring up Schumer not endorsing Mamdani when it was clearly an electoral non-factor

Correct. The rule “one shall not extrapolate parochial New York bullshit” to the rest of the country still applies. It has not been superseded.

Europeans when asked about air conditioning

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

IDK I think if you're calling Brad Lander an extremist, you may have lost the plot.

I cant speak to Nevada, but I think the NYC DSA realizing they were at risk of losing all their members to the WFP forced them to learn ball. In other words, leftwing political parties benefit from free-market competition.

While I think someone who is willing to say out loud that they believe condemning millions to death in the name of reducing American soft power is worth it is a ghoul who will not see the light of Paradise, I can at least respect their honesty. But those trying to play both sides of this? No.

Economies of Agglomeration Due To Decreased Travel Time And Greater Amenities versus Nuh Uh

Credit where credit is due, Groves was a brilliant project manager. Though also in fairness, as weird as it sounds, the engineering hurdles and mechanical complexity of the B-29 were several orders of magnitude greater than for the bomb, which was mostly just getting the plutonium.

Heartbreaking but good to put actual names to some of Musks many victims. Few people in human history can claim to have as much blood on their hands as Elon, and we mustn't forget that.

I am *never* going to get over the Court holding that targeted student loan forgiveness was a "major question" that Congress needed to weigh in on, but refusing to intervene to stop the dismantling of the entire cabinet agency overseeing the student loan program.

What? Absolutely not. These are the actions of a wildly unpopular administration that should be mocked, not feared. Don’t give these yutzes more than they deserve by making them powerful or scary in your head.

If rumours are to be believed I'll be living with a seventh different Prime Minister shortly. If it carries on like this I'm going to stop making the effort to learn their names.

like were the roles reversed I could and would have made lives difficult and it would've taken me about 20 seconds out of my work day but ofc that's the rub, their entire workday is nothing but poasting

I call Elon Musk a Nazi because he's an avowed white supremacist who undermines democracies, incites pogroms, targets minorities, intentionally caused the death of >750,000 people (so far) while laughing about it ("feeding USAID into the wood chipper"), and did a Sieg Heil at Trump's inauguration.

activating CATURDAY PROTOCOLS

There are something like 8 parking spaces per car in the US

The worst scandal in American history before Watergate, which happened over 100 years ago & is still taught in AP government classes, lead to a cabinet member's resignation & conviction, and caused Congress to pass new disclosure laws, involved less than 1/5 this much money. Inflation adjusted.

James' theory rests on Europe doing anything even slightly proactive, which Ill believe it when I see it.

This is a classic "land doesnt vote" or in this case donate, map. Sanders got roughly 15% of individual Democratic primary small dollar donors, a group more or less definitionally to the left of the general electorate.

“Everything is a conspiracy when you’re a fucking moron” remains true regardless of political affiliation.

What air defense doing?

One reason to oppose this MOU on principle is that its so clearly flimsy in its construction that it will not hold, so you are beating things to the punch by already dismissing it

3 minutes ago these guys were telling us Iran’s missiles were an existential threat to America and cheerleading an insane, illegal, and destined-to-fail war to get rid of all their missiles.

Trump has his own party so absolutely flip-fucked, pretzeled and upside down over this that they're on TV arguing we actually *wanted* Iran to win the war

Not only does sound decrease according to the inverse square law, but the ground and things sticking out of the ground absorb a ton of that sound very quickly. Over rolling ground I doubt you could hear a Saturn V rocket at ground level from 10 miles away.

me: am i going a bit far, calling musk a 'classic fascist' with the same core values as hitler? musk: i am concerned about the ethnic purity of the german people

We support you, Train King.

SOC-8 only reccomends nueropsychiatric assessment and therapy for pre-pubescent minors including ruling out other possible causes of for gender disparity.

What are we even doing here? WPATH guidelines are the accepted standard of care for trans-healthcare in the US, but that's because the WHO, State medical boards, etc. all sign off on it, and it ultimately falls on individual providers to accept or reject that standard.

I expect drones will render conventional aircraft and ships obsolete in the same way that the Whitehead torpedo rendered battleships obsolete in 1870

What I find funniest is most of the stuff at the end, like niacin and iron sulfate, are actually nutritional fortifying agents the government requires to be mixed into a lot of flours (presumably the corn meal here) to keep people from developing diseases like pellagra.
