We live in a bizarre world where it is somehow prejudicial to have a priority and to be honest about it. I actually think it's perfectly fine for some to care more about Ukraine, or frankly anything like climate, taxes, schools, etc than Palestine. But also it's fine to care about Palestine.

The Vatican announces that it will respond at "a time and place of our choosing. All options are on the table."

Gonna make it real

This was the consequence of Biden launching a draconian immigration crackdown specifically as a political stunt to appease the nativists and try to head off MAGA attacks about being an open-borders leftist too soft on immigration ahead of the 2022 midterms and then carried into the general

our intellectual forefathers didn't have any tolerance for this dilemma in 1861 either

i suspect you could primary 3 people in particular and never have to have this issue again

As with Platner, my view on MGP is that we need a Manhattan project for finding and vetting people who seem just like her but aren't Hitler

prob a misstep to due away with optical drives as storage skyrockets

It would be nice if something good happened for once.

SPR draws are starting to slow down, but commercial inventories still dropping, and products still well below seasonal averages in spite of refineries running full tilt

so you know that kids game where you draw the head, fold the paper so the next person can't see it, they draw the body, last person draws the legs ...

the use of “performative” as an insult here is why these people are losing their primaries. yes, voters want you to perform their anger and disgust! they want representatives to represent their symbolic interests! the idea that good representation is necessarily quiet and unobtrusive is wrong!

Establishment Dems in Congress hate urban professional voters so much lol Which it’s so important we oust them. I don’t want my representatives to hold me and my community in contempt tbh!

china this is the 5th time you've warned about peril facing the world this month, etc www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

Let me into Forbidden Ghost City Where the grass is dead and the girls are eerie

not to be a total nerd but futura is going to be turning 100 years old soon and renner (RIP) died roughly 70 years ago so........................ does that mean we can get a public domain of it soon

let me into the forbidden ghost city

Nintendo is gonna make like Taco Bell in Demolition Man after the game industry implodes

"it's not racism it's just nationalism with racist characteristics. this is better somehow"

Despite their many problems, Nintendo is still somehow the best major publisher in the industry in terms of “here’s a complete game on a cartridge, comstetics are unlockable with in-game currency and maybe there’s some DLC if you want it”.

Congratulations Sony, you drowned in the rain faster than Microsoft died to blood loss post slamming their dick in the car door.

Sony: We're going to stop releasing games on disc. Xbox: We're going to stop releasing games period. Nintendo: We're going to stop releasing Waluigi from the animal disposal pit we toss yoshis in when they break a leg.

one big lesson of 2008 and COVID should be that unemployment is a policy problem, not a structural one. you can get people working if the government is willing to pursue that end

Heckling is good 👍

Wow, he really is a dumb racist dickhead. We knew that but it's so mask-off now - and he, uh, doesn't seem to know that Lord Mayors do not run cities.

I really, *really* don't think this shit is going to work.

I wouldn't be surprised if in 2033 or so the North American video game industry collapses after a spate of short-sighted decisions made by executives incl. mass layoffs, enshittifications, and inability to respond to market trends. Then Japan (and Europe!) comes in to salvage the industry.

i really do think the transformation into a service economy has basically given every populist movement a boost because of how many people view working in services as a form of status threat

Seeing the news about the SSPX

okay Leo is up and at 'em, appointing new senior staff (including WOMEN, still annoyingly rare!) according to Vatican news, so I'm guessing he will have some shit to say in the next few hours & I will get to enjoy it when I wake up we definitely have excommunications; we'll see if we have a schism!

Between the mad king and now the schism, so cool how we’re speedrunning medieval history 🙃

if you are tuning into Schism Watch 2026, this is the important part. a bishop's consecration is supposed to begin with an Apostolic Mandate saying "the pope approves of these bishops." since they obviously don't have one, they read this jaw-droppingly audacious fuckery instead. Leo is going to flip

Not sure if non Catholics understand how horrifying it is to be cut off from the sacraments. Like being spiritually starved to death. Can’t believe people would intentionally cut themselves off

Unbelievable levels of US cultural victory

Tbh I find Ezra Klein’s schtick exhausting less because there’s people with Naughty Opinions who should never be interacted with but more because those people don’t make very interesting content

"does zohran mamdani support discriminatory ugandan law" is a question which can be answered by "how many years did his father spend in a refugee camp for that precise reason"

just in Trump 2 for starters

Marie Pinkney for Senate let's go

Real men don't need to entertain themselves with gambling. Real men entertain themselves playing 40 year-old video games on an emulator with ripped ROMs.

the specific reason i want wyden to stay is that i want someone with seniority and domain expertise who is not a former spook overseeing the intelligence community and it is impossible to get that outside the person of ron wyden

Where did you get the November 2026 WaPo editorial guidelines, James?

"our faction of the left is winning so we should stick with FPTP" is part of the reason Labour unintentionally locks itself out

this is an admission that they're not going to do shit.

I do genuinely think that dating apps, job hunting, and college applications are all the same form of psychosis

The fundamental problem we face is that if a single Justice had changed their vote today and stripped citizenship from millions of people in violation of 150 years of black-letter constitutional law, virtually everybody with power and influence in this country would believe that be legitimate.

When oil refineries go up in smoke, they REALLY go.

Chucks press shop is woated something crazy lol

Interesting to see that the new Texas Democratic Party's platform -Recognizes the Nakba -Calls for dismantling all settlements in East Jerusalem & WB -Calls on Dem members of Congress to support the Block The Bombs and Justice for Hind Rajab Acts -Supports offensive weapons embargo -Condemns AIPAC
