actual communism

All she got was a trip? I know I guy who they gave a 747 to!

This is utter insanity.

One downside to the joy of last night: Alito and Thomas are more likely to retire in May. And we know even the least-MAGA GOP senators are still shameless on judges.

The narcissistic pattern of love-bombing is so cute when it’s so transparent.

6-7!

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

I predict the Fox and Friends cast will be wearing tactical gear on their show after Jan. 1.

What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC. My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

💯 — the farther you stretch the rubber band, the harder it snaps.

Very interested to see the retirements and “decline to run” announcements in the next 90 days. …and not just the Republican ones.

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

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.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads

As a Bostonian, I am conflicted about how many positive feelings I'm having about New York at this moment

well i guess i can say nyc's standards are higher than "man directly in the pay of istanbul" and "sexual predation monster" which is a joy to my cynical heart

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

What’s the opposite of doomscrolling?

oh shit i had totally forgotten what it felt like for something good to happen

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

This performer at Trump’s Great Gatsby party should clear up any suspicions about whether or not he’s in the Epstein Files.

The irony that this happened at the Short Stop, where members of the LAPD’s violent, corrupt Rampart Division used to stash their seized cocaine, which they had replaced in evidence lockup with Bisquick.

DJ Jazzy Jeff has taken the mound for the Dodgers.

Please let BIEBER bring the World Series back to Canada.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Snowflakes. All of them.

Always so fun to see those who think “The Great Gatsby” is a love story. Mugging Myrtles.

it's crazy they trying to run the 80s black welfare mother narrative on snap benefits rn with a constituency in need that has already run up on a government building once

we're bringing mesothelioma back folks, it's going to be better than ever before arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

Just stop it with this. My grandfather bought a kit home from Sears Roebuck in Gardner, Mass. after WW2 for $3,500. That’s $58,000 today.

so @matteowong.bsky.social & I wrote on data centers: arguably the most important buildings in the world & are, in a way, holding the economy hostage. Byzantine financial instruments, private equity, depreciating tech, hype, $trillion valuations. it’s all there. an ai crash prob starts here.

A thought I never expected to have: House of Windsor currently beating the US government on transparency and accountability.

Andrew Cuomo is a bad man pulling on a dangerous thread because he wants to win a job he doesn’t actually want to do in a place he hates

noteworthy that rather than funding experiments into challenging conservative message domination on the local level or building between-election outreach capacity at the state level, centrist donors are throwing millions at what amount to online factional battles among a couple dozen people

Not an IP lawyer but I wonder what LTX-2 “learned” from…

Things you should never do to Lily Allen, a running list. 1) have a situationship 2) break up with her 3) cheat on her

Why, no, Apple, I don’t think you found “the perfect mix” to crossfade my songs in Apple Music, and I’m sick and tired of having iOS “enhancements” heaped on me.

Demolish the White House: GOOD TO GO. Bail out Argentina: FULL AUTHORITY. Feed children: "We need a legal analysis."

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

They’re getting better and better at reading the room.
