From our family to yours, merry Christmas! We hope your day is filled with good people and good food.

hahahahhaha lol also it’s 100% antisocial to admit you will harass people if you aren’t physically prevented from doing so

Republicans are focused on unlawfully renaming buildings for their Puppet Master. Meanwhile. They have zero interest in saving the healthcare of the American people. You deserve better.

Okay, do me then. They're right and Will is right and there are a fuckton of nominally progressive/leftist accounts on here who at least seem to have the beliefs they hold because they are looking for a license to be abusive to other people rather than any sincerely held beliefs or principles.

Fix your own fucking party, George.

Being an incorrigible skirt-chaser even when married and possible low-grade sexual harasser? Bad! Not the same as being a pedophile! Being close with industry lobbyists? Bad! Not the same as taking bribes! The flattening of grey areas with outright evil is unironically part of why we got Trump.

seeing people react to Bill Clinton (again) say "release the Epstein files" with "oh he's falling on his sword" rather than admit that he has literally nothing to hide is... something, that 1990s Clinton insanity virus keeps paying off for the GOP

It does feel like a lot of “leftists” on this website just entirely internalized the Rush Limbaugh they listened to in their parents’ car driving to their suburban schools as Gospel truth

Extremely revealing. By their own presentation, a Democrat and a Republican who the media believes are not friendly enough to the media, and the strategy for the Republican is “flatter them into being friendly” while for the Democrat it’s “neg them into caving.”

There’s nothing *wrong* with that, but it tells us about as much about the state of mainstream LGBT acceptance as the popularity of lesbian pr0n among straight men

Again, I truly *loved* this week’s episode of Heated Rivalry, but IT IS A WISH FULFILLMENT ROMANCE. The success of a gay hockey romance TV show, largely watched by people who are neither hockey players nor hockey fans, is not “proof that the world is ready and all we would do is love you”

i mean this is the point i am constantly making. people want to live in an economy where *their* labor is in high demand, but *other people's* labor is in low demand. this is because people really like *service*--not just goods that substitute for service, but service by another human

ignore the title about caching, this is the best explanation of how LLMs work, period

Getting a lot more people on this list for sharing antisemitic lies about the Talmud over the past couple of days. Reminders: 1. The entire Talmud is public and freely available online. This Anyone claiming to know about "secret" or "hidden" Jewish teachings from it is lying to you.

Paul and Tate getting their brains turned to mashed potatoes the moment they stepped in the ring with somebody in the same weight class who isn't afraid to punch back feels like God flashing a big red warning sign to our country.

It’s a demonstration of profound ignorance about what male sports cultures are like and how homophobia manifests in them. straight men joking about gay sex as a way to assert dominance over other men or humiliate other men by suggesting they engage in it is not the same thing as gay sex or desire

how it started/how it’s going

I enjoy doing things that are inappropriate, but I know that they're inappropriate. This website is full of a lot of people who act inappropriately all the time and think they are the most appropriate

Democrats are focused on driving down the high cost of living. Republicans think the affordability crisis is a hoax. Big difference between us and the out of touch extremists.

me in 2010, starting graduate school, a wide-eyed leftist: we don't call enough things violence, we should understand that term is broader than people thing me now: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUUUCKKKK

the fact that people on this site who think they are savvy and insightful and above being manipulated repeatedly fall for articles that are very clearly engineered to get maximum clicks from people on this site specifically is embarassing

Trump has helped loose this kind of thing and it is on us to make people once more ashamed to say shit like this by delivering ruthless social consequences to everybody who does so.

Every new CBS announcement is like a setup for a 30 Rock punchline

It's your birthday, Duane.

Hey dipshits: if Bill Clinton was guilty of anything re: Epstein, Trump's administration wouldn't have to pretend a Pic of him with Diana Ross and her children was nefarious. I know this totally upsets you becsuse you desperately want the sweet hit of DEMS BAD TOO but reality existe, fuckos.

This site isn't so bad once you've blocked the tankies, which I'm not convinced aren't the target demo for bsky, and the circles around cait.

Long blocked, she's bad, sorry to all who play online

Much better project to get people to understand that “Make America Great Again” has as its fundamental premise that America is bad.

Again, what is the plan for this bag of dust to retire and actually let the Dems have a seat? Still no plan? No passing of torches? Just let the Republican name someone??

I have broken the numerals 4 and 7 into tiny pieces and reassembled them into infinity. The feckless Dems have infinite Senators and this is what we get???

Joint statement by Ranking Members Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin on Trump Administration decision to defy Epstein Files Transparency Act.

"Yes, hahaha... the 'failure'... That definitely wasn't something I... I mean someone else... did on purpose! It was definitely someone else's fault & not say... a Chief Justice of the United States!"

It is depressing to me how much the Trump era has rocked my faith in the media broadly, journalism as a profession in general, and nearly all journalists on social media in particular.

Three rogue dems, less than 2% of the caucus: “the national dem agenda”

'globalize the intifada' is motte-and-bailey shit, it's mostly people who want the thrill of being associated with violence but a deniability option when questioned.

this is it. this is the most bluesky post ever

This is an irredeemably bad person and if you support him, sanewash him, run a secret ratfucking operation with him while being a high profile political reporter etc. so are you

constantly bewildered by the number of ostensibly intelligent people on this website who can watch a republican look directly into the camera and say “i am doing this bad thing because this bad outcome is the outcome i want, and i will not be moved by the consequences” and look at congressional dems

Jacobin's article on why sex trafficking is actually the most leftist hobby one can have is coming shortly.

"Donald Trump is an extremely terrible human being who should not be president of the United States." That's a very simple idea that many many people on the left and center have spent the past 10 years dithering about for some reason. (cc: @tmbhmltn.bsky.social)

The economy is being crushed by the Trump tariffs and failed Republican policies. You deserve better.

Time travel. Not for kids!

The human cost of Trump's gutting of USAID: By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for weeks. He bundled her into a canoe & paddled toward the nearest hospital, 8 hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died. New, @propublica.org

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the horrific attacks in Providence and Bondi Beach this weekend. In moments of fear and darkness, students helped each other shelter. Bystanders disarmed gunmen. May we build a world where such acts of heroism are no longer necessary.

Its funny that Tim Onion is out here internet braining himself into thinking theres a secret pandemic circulating that the admin via RFK Jr is hiding, meanwhile here in reality theres actual measles outbreaks happening rn & not only is there public data on it but stuff like the below is happening.

Shitposting has done wonders for the Palestinian cause. Look, you even got your people elected to majorities in Congress and the presidency!

What happened along the way in our history that made people believe the DNC is some kind of grand chessmaster pulling all our strings

I absolutely fucking hate this brand of posting

Our lawyers were at the Supreme Court defending the will of the people, not the will of billionaires. We aren’t going to allow Republicans to erode campaign finance protections. Along with the DCCC and DSCC, we’re standing up for the people and fighting for fair elections.

Posters in good standing who write for the Times, the Nation, the American Prospect, Mother Jones, the Bulwark, Jacobin, Baffler, and even the Onion who are not now, at the present time (present time being 2024-Present) vociferous, vocal, active Democrats are explicitly pro-Trump.
