you know dudes with questionable facial hair keep posting this moody and dramatic shit, but you know what I don't see? I don't see a bunch of anarchists, leftists, socialists out in the streets doing Revolution I see a bunch of lib moms in the streets and Dems in government fighting back.

Blueskyese and Xian share an obvious common root as both being Twitteric languages, the difference is that after the split Xian became a hybrid Twitteric/Channer-linkedin tongue, while Blueskyese changed less overall but did pick up some tumbleric and redditor loanwords

we've seen a lot that the progressive/leftists have 25-30% of Democratic primary votes and they don't seek to expand past that but hope to win a crowded primary by splitting the norm 60+% of the vote up between 5-10 candidates its why they're endlessly upset by people dropping out in 2020

My most crank take is that if you're dismissive about food/cooking and treat it exclusively as a survival skill, you are failing to engage with one of the most fundamentally human behaviors that has shaped humanity as a whole and you are ignoring a pillar of the human experience

Detroit Historical Museum is having an exhibit on the ttrpg RIFTS?!?

Man got booed so hard he lost all his rings like Sonic the Hedgehog.

Giorgia Meloni to Vance at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony. #olympics

Leftists don't be grotesque anti-social weirdo assholes challenge: always fucking impossible.

"Also the message that will win is exactly the same as the guy who lost back-to-back presidential primaries by lopsided margins."

There's for sure a problem of people looking at politics from the perspective of consumers, not as active participants, with voting almost being a favor done for the politicians' benefit rather than out of any kind of duty to the other people around us

Also there's a cultural aspect that I noticed with Americans that they genuinely think only politicians have to do everything on the political side when it comes to policy, campaigning and etc and genuinely believe themselves to be personally disconnected from politics

i think it's very cool that taylor lorenz managed to parlay posting (poorly) about tumblr into being seen as some kind of expert on internet culture which mostly just means schizoposting her way into getting people brigaded

The problem with the Tea Party is it took Trump for them to be able to unite and be even moderately effective, and I'm not exactly sure what a democratic Trump looks like, and whether it is someone we would even want Otherwise they were just consuming the GOP from the inside. And may do so again

Somos Boston. Y nunca abandonaremos nuestros valores. Juntos, utilizaremos todas las herramientas que tengamos, todos los derechos, leyes y protección constitucional por las que luchamos, para defender a nuestros residentes de las exageraciones federales.

If all the leftists voted for Democrats, and Democrats still lost, that would logically mean that a coalition of Democrats and leftists is a losing coalition, and Democrats would be better served looking elsewhere. I don't think people like Robert Evans #2 have really thought through this logic.

"Democrats should listen to us if they want to win elections! But also: we're electorally useless" is just such a bizarre, schizophrenic message.

We don't talk enough about how Reagan turned right wing at exactly the moment the Democratic party became the party of civil rights for African Americans. We do talk about that "coincidence" but we don't talk about it enough.

Charlie Brown would have hoes today. This is a problem.

Biden just had the most labor-friendly administration since FDR and tried to doubled the size of the IRS to go after rich tax cheats

I have been made aware of some rancor around the Sky-discussion-of-freindship-&-dating but I think my blocklist is finely tuned enough that I'm seeing basically none of it.

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

the fact that early-stage automated vehicles that still occasionally require remote operation assistance are like several orders of magnitude safer than the average American driver should be the real wakeup call here, not the idea that these vehicles still sometimes need remote operation assistance

it is interesting the difference between the ape video and the reaction to the sombrero posts, in the latter the gutter racism became a "ha ha funny" meme for Republicans they all gleefully repeated this time Republicans freaked out and demanded it was pulled, why?

I feel like a lot of folks sharing this article didn't read it. People are acting like the cars are being remote driven & this has been hidden when the article makes clear it's the opposite.

The most prominent pervert in the Democratic Party is a 79 year old man with a history of cheating on his wife with women who remind him of his wife. Our gays are respectable married folks. Our trans reps? Normal pantsuit-clad pols. We are boring, & we celebrate the privilege to be so.

Guy whose first major appearance in the NYC press was for refusing to rent to Black people

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG FED MY CO TOOK ME INTO THE CITY TO SEE AN APARTMENT RAID HE SAID SON WHEN YOU GROW UP WILL YOU BE A KILLER OF CIVILIANS A BEATER OF YOUR WIFE HE SAID WILL YOU DEFEAT THEM WILL STANCIL AND ALL THE NONBELIEVERS IN THEIR HONDA FITS

its WaStancil, the Wario to Will’s Mario

welcome to the black site parade

probably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"

“military-grade intelligence tactics” “Pattern-of-life” intelligence Bro, you are eating microwaveable Campbell’s Soup for every meal and crashing out in front of the Home2Suites while you’re geared up like you’re in Fallujah

Republicans hate the American people and view us as nothing more than an unruly mob that they aim to dominate.

There are a whole lot of people who seem to believe that the gift of precognition is an actual electoral strategy rather than just save scumming

As insane as it seems now, what this line of thought actually reveals is just how much of the political world fundamentally thought of 2016 as primarily an election about your view of Hillary Clinton, with Donald Trump mainly an instrument of passing judgement on her, not important in himself

These guys never ask themselves why there are vast swaths of people who were not fooled and what it says about them

I hate when folks post this picture as some kind of gotcha about Hayes' lack of object permanence. Were you around when I was 2? I was! Mommy ✨was✨ positioning herself as having disappeared behind her hands. Things changed! She was actually there the whole time.

Francis Fukuyama's thesis is actually about the carcinization of political systems where liberal democracy is the crab

Bullshit scare tactic. ICE can't handle a single city, imagine them trying this shit nationwide in every city and town at the same time. They don't have enough resources, they don't have enough thugs.

I don't think its completely fair to say Nick "was" a moron. All indications I've seen show that he continues to be one to this day.

“I hate when people use this to show Chris Hayes is a moron because I, too, was a moron, so who can judge?”

😎

Chris Hayes has above average intelligence for a political pundit.

The real problem here is AI is making a larger cohort of people capable of contributing to open source projects & there are some folks who don't like plebs getting more of a say.

oh bitcoin "lost its value"? does it not still provide a way to get people to stop talking to you at social events?
