Car discourse is fun because car ownership is a massive financial burden on people but because Chevrolet ran a bunch of commercials 50 years showing cars on open roads as a sign of freedom, people just eat the expense without question even though it would be very easy to restrict driving

This person is getting beaten up probably a bit more than she deserves, but freaking out over a toll on the grounds she might one day visit or pass through a city center is funny thing to freak out about. You can completely avoid paying it and it's not much if you somehow ever did!

I’m gonna test something: Eddington rocks

Just saw Eddington and I don't know any of The Discourse around it but I don't care. It was amazing. Absolutely a movie that captures living in 2020's America.

This play just makes "pro-democracy" movements seem useless at best and contemptible at worst. If liberal ideas and values can be set aside in a pro-liberalism quest, what even are you fighting for at that point?

The assumption that she adds anything to a coalition is baffling to me especially since resigned her only source of power. Do you really *need* her? Really?

Got a 12 hour timeout on the everything site for telling an account to do the right thing (🤯🔫) from behind a lock

I know you think this is an argument in favor of liberal democracy but it's really not lol

HOW DO I OPT OUT OF HOLE

Will Menaker had these people clocked years ago: They're very happy Trump can be used to discipline their base, for whom they have mostly contempt, for perceived disloyalty.

I'm imagining something like those obnoxious "becoming your parents" commercials where some therapist is following an evil person around trying to be good and jumping into correcting them each time they slip back into evilness while sighing in the most exasperated way at all the failures.

Saw a screenshot of some article musing whether people felt the same emotions as we do today which struck me as silly on its face because of examples like this

Ever heard of a GULAG?!

The proper thing to do is mute/block his annoying ass, but if you don't you can enjoy him having a field day tormenting the largely self-serious, humorless posters on here

Merry Christmas, friends

Tufted titmouse being the cutest

It seems everyone's been edging for years that Trump will result in the American system finally brining together everyone to repudiate him or him destroying it by becoming president for life or whatever, but the real result is he'll just be gone in 2029 with everything basically intact

It's minor but the fact you can't soft block people on here is another big check in the negative column

Not sure whether I find it funny or grating but the fact posts on here and hidden and tagged as "rude" does sum up the mood of this place.

Does anyone have the stats on how much AI output is just generating (nude) images of women and minors without consent, because that’s a huge chunk that’s entirely ignored by mainstream reporting

Zooming in on Puka’s celebration after a big catch

Not quoting it, but an article going around talking about thinking Trump was a fascist made people feel like tortured Cassandras is really eyerolling. So many people understood what Trump was ushering that you can't act like you're insane. People just embraced it

I like that when I joined bluesky it was a place for sickos to not be bothered by Nazis but now it has a reputation for being super libbed up so when I say something like "do you think Wolverine got regular boners or did it pop in and out like his claws" someone will stop by to say "VOTE!"

well if they won't then I will

"what unspeakable crime did you commit that reshaped the trajectory of your life" would be a good password reset question

One of the funnier rhetorical games the Right has engaged in lately is reframing voluntary white flight and its precursors (non-white people moving into a place) as ethnic cleaning

I'm peripherally aware of discourse on here about speeding and I am not going to find out more about it

Bro your odds of getting pussy are down 47% on Kalshi

Sheriff of Sucking You Off

The pedophile blocked me. What AM I to do?!?! lol

Honestly, it's much worse that these guys think they're helping women in any way. Pretending to be "logical" is somehow less objectionable

Sorry for boosting this guy so much but this stands out to me as a common male belief. Your attraction to women is not them having power of you, it's you being unable or willing to manage your own feelings and impulses. You are weak and pathetic and inexplicably proud of it

"Let me legally fuck preteens or I'll kill myself" is not the threat you think it is

Remarkable to complain about women being allowed to indulge their "worst instincts" (freely choosing sex partners as adults) as if this isn't a much worse instinct

Too often I've seen women estimate those numbers as real. Glad to see pushback on obvious exaggeration.

It's funny that Alabama winning tiebreakers to get into the SEC Championship game might keep them out of the playoffs

joe buck voice- oh god yes

Broke: Shibata got his brain taken out and put back in Woke: Harper got his blood taken out and put back in

Maybe my favorite lib post because it shows as much as they are aghast at Trump calling criticism of him treason, the essentially believe the exact same thing about anyone who doesn't explicitly, unflinchingly support Democrats. They'd be far more aggressive authoritarians if they could be

It got one like!

I think I'll bookmark this screenshot to see if it get a single like

Just saw this video again and my favorite reaction to it is some liberal diehard quoting it with "we could have had the smartest woman EVER as president!" and it's just the same moronic line AIPAC is circulating to even its dumbest advocates

It's always great when you make a point and someone shows up to fully confirm it. This person is spamming submental garbage in the replies of anyone who quoted that Helen person. Naturally his person accepts all Somalis are Trump voters and gets gleeful that Trump is after them

Really is revealing how even though a majority of Somalis didn't vote for Trump, this type of liberal is eager to assume the majority did to side with Trump in brutalizing them

Generative AI is opening new doors of absolute laziness never before conceived. It's remarkable

Condescension and Hillary Clinton: name a more iconic duo

That imbecile student from OU is going to be a senator one day. Calling my shot now because she's the specific kind of stupid and self-important that gets that job

I've always suspected this is true and why the party is so open to reaction, but it's funny how much of a dullard Gallego comes across as. His thoughts are just completely unironic blue check account engagement bait
