“Nick Shirley” is a perfect dumb guy name

It’s not something the “Hallow App” would tell you, but I cannot stress enough that Clean Monday is one of my absolute favorite days of the year

Great song, but he should’ve come out to “Nell’ Aria” instead to help build atmosphere.

"Friends, if you are starving because you're out of a job and were kicked off of SNAP benefits; if you're dying of cancer and can't afford treatment; if you're an 8-year-old and no one picks you up at the school bus stop because your parents were just kidnapped and taken to a concentration camp...

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Parasocial relationships are bad for democracy.

Trump was mid jestergooning when a Foid came and spiked his Cortisol levels

I really don't see people lining up for reservations at all those Scotts-Irish restaurants.

It’s hard to remember now that people used to say Trump was a great poster. Now his internet activity consists in posting gigantic walls of text à la Facebook grandpa that no one reads but everyone talks about via secondhand summary

This is me, but in a doubtless very different kind of way

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

The thing that I’m kind of struck by with Pam Bondi’s performance from yesterday, as I look back in retrospect, is that her embarrassing lashing out looks more than a bit like projection of anger at her own guilty conscience

Drifting toward becoming a draft Ossoff 2028 guy (?) much to my surprise

Trump’s approval is much lower than we’re being told…and elite institutions are too rotten with cowardice to tell you the truth

ENCORE UNE FOIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NEWS: A federal grand jury has rejected the Trump regime’s attempt to indict six Democratic members of Congress for posting a video reminding service members of their oath and their duty to refuse illegal orders.

Oh look, another way to be anti-social just dropped

Dialoguing and Encountering back on the old hellsite

It’s so funny to make the most intergenerational and family oriented halftime show in years to highlight how genuinely delusional (and fundamentally racist) MAGA culture war derangement is

Gen Z chuds are some of the most pathetic trash in history, but—it has to be said that they really cooked with “jestermaxxing”, a genuine breakthrough for culture and the English language

The shift in NBC's Olympic coverage model from broadcast to on-demand replays of particular events through the Peacock app is symptomatic of the atomization of formerly collective experience borne of hyperindividualism and demand for immediate satiation, splintering the commonweal. In this essay I w

One of my boldest takes is that this is why Democrats have had an uphill battle winning over young men recently

This is my ideology

I hope everyone is ripping a cig on the fire escape and making saltimbocca in preparation for the Olympics Opening Ceremony Rebroadcast

I think it is notable that Jeffries is taking this sort of tone when they're currently engaged in a staredown with the house and senate GOP. Tells you that they think they have pretty much all the power in the current negotiations imho

go off jack white

Her one totally avoidable and unacceptable misstep was refusing to break with Biden on Israel and that ultimately cost her a very real degree of moral authority. You can’t meaningfully defend democracy at home without aggressively opposing US support for a genocidal regime abroad

I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

Cant wait to get back to Greece

No sustained media coverage of the Epstein revelations. It is absolutely infuriating

@kyriakos.bsky.social theory confirmed

Honestly aside from the fact that Trump is actively destroy the US and upending the entire world, there’s a lot of reason for optimism

There are a lot of good reasons to assume Epstein’s connections with Israel, but potential Russian blackmail is an underrated element of this story. Putin’s name appears 1000 times in these documents

me at 17: a secret conspiracy of billionaires shapes global events me at 35: class interest creates emergent outcomes and aligned behavior, but there’s no smoky room where plutocrats plot to shape global events me at 41: a secret conspiracy of billionaire perverts shapes global events

Russiagate has been fully vindicated btw

A cabal of pedophiles conspired to destroy the US government from within by seeding fascist ideas into online forums, spreading conspiracy theories about the opposition based on their own actions, and devised an alternative currency to upend the global economy. Now they run the US government and CBS

These emails explain a decade of world politics and the media apparently had no interest in covering them

First off, this is a great thread. Second, if you can’t see how this might plausibly connected to Israeli intelligence then you’re a fool or in some state of psychic denial.

When you put it this way it sounds like it deserves a Criterion release

Now is the time of monsters, certainly, but more so—now is the time of cowards.

I feel like TikTok fell off in popularity a long time ago, even before it was purchased by Trumpers. Am I wrong in this?

This guy’s game is very underrated

What if Tom Steyer

It is something I would say because it is a true statement
