Gavin Newsome has said his son is a fan of Charlie Kirk Andrew Tate and now Clavicular. You should probably stop running for office and spend time with your son

An entire room full of em and every single one of them independently came to the exact same conclusion; this story is about me There’s only like 3 angles total of the president getting rushed out (and falling over like 4 times lol) in a room of “reporters” how do these idiots have jobs.

Ma'amdani

One of the greatest headlines ever made

Me, I'm asking what is the use case for the Whitehouse press corps?

happy lesbian visibility day xoxo

I just wandered all around downtown Seattle and there’s almost no seating or benches anywhere. I had to sit on the ground to rest. This is not an accessible city.

What better way to show the world how mad you are than setting yourself up to lose again in 28? This self defeating recrimination didn't start with Hillary. It started with Gore in 2000. Blame everyone except the geniuses who picked Lieberman. Time is a flat circle

Theory 1: Shot a rando holding a phone or candy bar Theory 2: Faked to prove they do so need their stupid ballroom for "security" Theory 3: Trump hated, stalked everywhere he go

Brazil bans Kalshi and Polymarket from operating in the country. obviously things aren't perfect there but I think we need to think seriously about how to get institutions like theirs

people in positions of media influence on here posting AI and fake videos of Trump to be funny right now are just ensuring people trust the media even less and every time I see one I want to scream! he's already bad enough! thank you for your attention to this matter!

Hell hath no fury like a carbrained American whose god given right to parking has been infringed. Cybertrucks are only a degree or two stupider than the fatass SUV that everyone drives. The smugness is unearned

They didn’t just double tap. They hunted her like an animal. First they sent her death threats. They struck her, then followed her to where she tried to take shelter & struck her there. They struck the rescue workers who came for her & only after hours, after she died, did they allow retrieval

We have noticed a very pixelated version of this image kicking around. Here's a better quality one. Were you there for this photoshoot on 2nd Ave nearly 20 years ago?

"The logical outcome of fascism is an aestheticization of political life" - Walter Benjamin

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

I guess if Americans don’t want to buy Spirit Airlines with their tax dollars it’s tough shit because Trump will spend our money on whatever he pleases since we don’t have a Congress anymore.

Instead of rushing to buy the first failing airline of he needs to consider how many more will fail before he's done. Maybe a better one will fail. Probably more. And how many more non-airline corporations will flounder in the Trump economy? Maybe he can buy them all but is he sure he wants them?

The Leader has driven six businesses he started to bankruptcy and, surprise, he can't manage resources in his war. That he started.

"Their politics were about fighting for dignity and rights where they were, rather than imagining liberation somewhere else, at someone else’s expense." @shaneburley.bsky.social speaks with @mollycrabapple.bsky.social about history and inspiration. inthesetimes.com/article/jeiw...

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

The only remote hope of the US recovering any of their former prestige would be to apologize and pay reparations from assets seized from Trump and his entourage of fellow grifters. Realistically, kiss the bases goodbye. And expect the $20 billion to come out of your pocket, not Trump's

I want the U.S. to lose. We should either sue for peace now or get our shit wrecked. UAE and Saudi Arabia should kick our bases out. I want to see a carrier spend the next decade in dry dock.

what if i fucking kill you

Besides just letting others have a chance, the capstone of a successful career ought to be watching your many protégés rise and carry on your legacy. The refusal to retire is linked to a selfish lack of mentorship. That's not a coincidence.

The reason Washington struggles to pay for education and family support like child care is means testing. You can't get enough votes to fully fund anything when everyone knows the only beneficiaries are poor people. Mamdani is trying to teach you how to do it right. Get everyone bought in.

here is the thing about vote scolding: it doesn't work my personal position is that the right thing to do is to vote and - because the republican party is so completely world-destroyingly insane - to vote for the democrats but you simply cannot change minds on this by scolding people

I have been online and arguing about politics for nearly twenty five years and not once have I ever seen anyone respond to vote scolding with anything but "fuck you" if you want to be mad at people for not voting, sure, knock yourself out if you want them to vote next time, try a different tactic

HEY EVERY KAMALA HARRIS SUPPORTER WHO SAID THAT SHE WOULDNT HAVE ATTACKED IRAN LOOK AT THIS YOU STUPID FUCKS

People come up with the most convoluted defenses for Israel's actions in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Tunisia etc meanwhile the actually existing Israeli PM and FM and DM and Finance Minister are like "these are all animals and we will slaughter them however we wish".

i keep saying, one of the reasons all the attempts to sister souljah somebody new don't even work because everybody did too good a job crush any sort of left wing voice from gaining national recognition. there's nobody you can beat up on to prove your conservative bonafides that people would know

Day 3 of telling people to go follow @patrickhwillems.bsky.social because he deserves a million subscribers. I've never met him. This campaign is simply because I'm a fan of his work and wish him the best. What's your favorite essay from him? TELL ME!

Imagine how much more money the government could save if they made the barrier to entry as high as the FAFSA for everything. The thousands of hours spent filling out this 22 page form are compounded by paying someone to read each one. This is the vast waste of means testing.

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

Like... I'm sorry, but to win future elections, you need a good chunk of the people who sat out in 2016 or 2024 to vote for you, and I just don't think that sneering at them and saying it's their fault that things are the way they are right now is going to win them over, even if you truly believe it

FSD Tesla's are suddenly legal in the Netherlands and Autoweek (Car weekly) took it for a test drive to Amsterdam. it stopped for traffic lights on a highway that were turned off and it got a 130€ ticket for choosing a bicycle street in Amsterdam

Fake quote. Classic.

... of environmental harm here. No one! It's just ... you gotta do the pointless review. And you gotta do the pointless review just the right way, dotting the i's & crossing the t's just so. Why? Just ... because. So: tens of thousands more dollars, years more delay, no low-cost market. Yay?

Pike Place Market just released new sales data for Feb 2026. Looks like Jan+Feb 2026 had 11% higher sales than Jan+Feb 2025 (before the pedestrian pilot)! Congrats Seattle, you managed to find a way to shop at the market in the dead of winter without driving your cars through the middle of it.

Mahmood Mamdani got a job at Columbia after spending the first 20 years of his career working for African universities, and ending up a stateless refugee twice. He was effectively starting from scratch at 53. Hard to build decent retirement savings at that age.
