“Likable person who isn’t 1000 years old and generally does things you like” isn’t unicorn fantasy land bullshit it’s the bare minimum you deserve as a human being

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

pondering the exact demographic of people who are in fact pulled in to sign up for a new streaming service because of the roku city billboard telling them they have all of China Beach

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

TFW u open BlueSky and a bunch of ppl are vaguely posting about the same shit

we really used to count on the sense of shame and disgrace to inspire self-censure; the project of the oppressor class these last 30 years has been to inoculate against shame

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

hey I've been thinking a lot about it and what if like a whole bunch of us tried all doing this at the same time, with enough of us doing this it's gotta work

The bumper stickers should have to specify when they thought Elon went crazy. We need an exact date-slash-inciting incident

This is the guy Dems are caving to

Mamdani won literally 100x more votes than Pete did; it remains absurd and insulting he's a national figure

Sorta regretting the time I put into my nomination

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

writing it "f*ck" sickens me. a coward's curse. say fuck or find a different word. get that nasty starfish asshole out of my sight

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

don't just light up *their* phones; half of them are deliberately running cover for other senators who would have voted yes had they not been up in 2026. call the likes of gary peters, schumer, etc too and absolutely let them have it

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly) light their phones up tomorrow at 9AM

Breaking news: Man whose life was saved by federal health insurance casts vote ensuring millions lose health insurance.

I don't wanna sound hyperbolic but I feel like caving on this is effectively caving indefinitely into the future. Who's ever gonna count on Senate Dems to take a firm stand on anything ever again? You've been in that situation so many times and they've always let you down! These guys are total mush!

there is no force on earth, not even the grandest wealth and state power over others, that is more of an influence on senate dems thinking than vacation plans

This is genuinely top 5 dumbest thing any American politician has ever said. These fucking people.

They lined up all their defectors in safe positions or who had nothing to lose and everyone else had time to workshop their little posts about how they don't agree with this

There are individual exceptions but as an institution the Democratic party just seems like it's on its last legs, or maybe past that point. A party that views its role as a custodial one just isn't cut out for this century

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Pete Buttigieg is in Halo 4???

It should be illegal to do a high profile remake of a movie without ensuring the original is available for streaming in the highest quality possible.

sign also handy for new indie game programmers

50 year mortgage is so crazy. to put it in perspective, 2016 was 50 years ago

RIP Baudrillard you would have loved this shit

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Post you from a different era

Until the end of the government shutdown, our campaign will be donating $2,500 a month to a food pantry in the Ninth District. And to my fellow candidates, I challenge you to do the same:

The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born.

Hi, #PitchYaGame! We're making a point and click game about an anxious cactus artist named Prickles. Help your neighbors and unravel a mystery by gifting drawings, taking care of potted humans and making friendships! store.steampowered.com/app/4038920/... #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

No one can rip defeat from the jaws of victory like the Democratic caucus.

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

This story is infinitely more important than GTA getting delayed. Don't let me catch you moaning about waiting longer for a video game if you're not mad about why it happened.

They took Judas Priest to court because a backwards message made a ‘kid kill themselves’. They tried to do the same with D&D. But ChatGPT when it basically talked a kid into doing just that? Nothing to see here. Can’t help it. Sad but not our fault.

if Zohran’s victory has inspired you, if you’ve seen the power of what a mass movement can do, if you are ready to fight for a better world, it’s time: join DSA today, and let’s make one thousand Zohrans happen across the country act.dsausa.org/s/2784.PebCRO

Nancy Pelosi secretly being queen of the stock market and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez vocally opposing elected officials profiting off the stock market feel like intrinsically connected facts that quietly explain their instant bad blood the minute they became House colleagues

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

you ever think about the works progress administration? I sure do. I wish that was a thing now. I would be so glad to contribute my labor to like. A random ass local bridge

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

Good work Agent 47. Now, time to find an exit.

twelve hungry men

oh my god they actually did it lmao
