I propose we re-open the government if Donald Trump gives me back my lunch money

Coming off a week of winning didn't sit right with a loser like Chuck.

Throwing away all your political capital after a historic off year election for a 1 year continuation of ACA funding is absolutely pathetic.

People who say "we need to have a conversation " just mean "shut up and listen to me" every fucking time

Finally watched that Ross Douthat debate about how women are ruining everything.

if you believe fully autonomous robot butlers are just over the horizon you are actually one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive and we should take your money from you so we can put it towards something worthwhile

Wish the devs would stop fucking up this perfectly good product they accidentally made.

Gun nuts literally sit in their houses sweatily fantasizing, with a mix of terror & rage as Fox plays in the background, about brown people coming to their house so they have an excuse to kill them Our media only pretends not to understand this because they’re owned & run by the gun nut party

Wes was pretending he wasn't Wes shortly before their party conference. Crocodile tears over NHS gender care waiting times, "This breaks my heart." And then he does a Q+A with Mumsnet goose steppers just a couple of days later! He isn't slick.

Odd how nyc prep school and harvard grad yglesias is the median voter

If you watch these two for smart political analysis you're a fucking idiot.

what if popularists just lie

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-5658... but in 2021...

Stuff from crackpot activists that cropped up on my TL this morning is wild. Do you think the public will be horrified when you tell them that stewards were twitchy because you went to the home end as away fans, then made a big show of being away fans? Have you been to a football match before.

The person arrested is part of Nick Tenconi's seig heiling Turning Point UK mob, and also affiliated with holocaust denier James Harvey's 'vox populi' media. I don't think they were looking for an honest good faith debate.

For context, an organisation he founded published an article arguing that marches for Palestine meet the legal threshold for genocide His other group were found by Private Eye to be planting false stories about links between Iran and pro Palestine groups. This group led Starmer's leadership campaign

I lived and worked in SF for over a decade, in media and in the labor movement, and never heard a single person refer to Nancy Pelosi as “mom” wtaf

Gotta be a good banh mi joke

ah good, another media conglomerate whose nepo baby owner will apparently destroy it to help Donald Trump

They've changed it back again now, but changing a quote is a huge red flag. The BBC are repeatedly demonstrating that there are ideologues directly interfering with the meaning of stories they report relating to trans people, and this should be a far bigger deal than it is

Monsters walk among us

In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".

The BBC is rushing this hit job out the door. Remember, the licence fee means we are obliged, under threat of criminal sanction, to pay for its racism. Screw the BBC.

Chunky Reese Witherspoon definitely ruined the workplace

Ross Douthat is only 31 years old.

In my brief time as an op-ed editor (<year), Brettbug Stephens argued Ashkenazis might be genetically superior, & Tom Cotton called for violence against George Floyd protestors. Some of us were constantly pushing back. I met with Sulzberger multiple times. Lip service was given, nothing changed.

as a thought exercise for everyone reading ross douthat's latest missive in the NYT, i want you to think about sending an email to your entire company with the subject line "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?", then think about the over/under on the number of minutes/hours you would still be employed

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.

This was a sentence in a NEWS piece, not an opinion piece, btw. NYT is very bad at keeping news and opinion separate, much of their politics reporting reads like opinion.

The NYT has earned their reputation of bring harmful and dangerous to trans people and especially trans kids. That’s entirely on them. If my kid was trans I wouldn’t trust the NYT either.

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

Hello! I’m Jimmy Testes, data journalist. I’m here to tell you that EVs are actually bourgeois and we shouldn’t subsidise their lifestyle so this is good actually 🤓 what do you mean you want to change that and make them more accessible to masses?! You can’t do that, the graph doesn’t let you

This actually makes him an insane person, by the way

If you’re going to allow military personnel to lie this obviously and brazenly without challenge, then you would be better to stay in London and invite them to email you YouTube clips. It would be more clear to the public what has been happening than pretending it’s something else.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before. They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

has mamdani gone full fetterman yet

ah makes sense why it was common when i was a philly area teen. think i knew that but had forgotten

Calzone and stromboli were both common when i was a teen and seem less so now?

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

The DCCC has poured a ton of money into keeping you in your seat. You were being recruited to run for Senate. The idea that you don’t have room in the Democratic Party is absurd. You’re mad that you’re not in charge.

On the News Agents, Wes Streeting explains that Mamdani’s win shows how Labour’s different from the Democrats because Labour MPs are all democratic socialists, actually. LOL

Oh look at that it’s just Keir Starmer being an actual comic book villain again

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

there is a decent 'mamdani is a fluke' argument but it requires people to say 'what the fuck were dems doing getting behind cuomo' and such people aren't willing to do that

Erica Deuso is the first openly transgender person to be elected mayor in Pennsylvania. The longtime Democratic advocate defeated Republican Rich Bryant Tuesday to serve as the next mayor of Downingtown. 🔴 Live election updates: www.inquirer.com/politics/ele...
