no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

just saying for the people who follow me from when I was on VoteDEM; ignoring social media vibes cost us literally everything in 2024, so maybe the anger being thrown at democrats as a whole rn should actually be taken seriously and not “it’s just five people online and a bunch of bots”

when you see a big girl with broad shoulders and unshaved legs and shittily applied makeup like she just started doing it for the first time three months ago and a voice like the faggiest bitch on the planet you should be doing this

This is the future leftists want

"Dems cannot successfully cave because John Cornyn got trapped in a broom closet" would be easily the funniest way for tonight to end

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

menswear writer here 👋 camo will not hide you inside a gym

hell yeah this is sick

So honored to wear art by incredible kids in Gaza. I told everyone their names, their stories and showed their pictures.

Seeing Charlie Kirk's legacy reduced to face edits is wild. It's mostly zoomers / gen alpha doing it too.

call your friends cute! call them hot! say i love you! fuck me dude ive spent twenty two years thinking i had to be polite about my friends when you should frankly be a little in love with everyone youre close with. they matter to you. let them know it

It's Friday night baby

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

With the loneliness epidemic on the rise, we could use the Nintendo 3DS's StreetPass feature and the sense of togetherness it fostered more than ever. @faroukk.bsky.social on the decline of physical community in gaming:

In his new book, antitrust scholar and former White House adviser Tim Wu argues that tech giants are bleeding you dry—and lays out a plan to stop them. www.wired.com/story/tim-wu...

My mom has told me this kind of mindset was driving force at Xerox PARC when she worked there and the fact that it’s almost entirely disappeared from Silicon Valley is a prime driver of the enshittification of everything

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder. Empathy driven development has literally never failed me. It’s done me better than everything else combined

we now know that it’s not illegal to throw sandwiches at ICE agents, an important development

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

One of the things I really need to write about is the fact that this current wave of fascism, but most especially its transphobic component, is the product of a tiny number of epistemic elites cooking their brains on social media and group chats.

u got any games on yr phone

Imagine if the million worst people in a city disappeared overnight. Like a reverse rapture

if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was "that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

new york today:

ok this is what a bunch of sesame street characters would look like without their fur

Computer isn’t real and cannot hurt me

Every so often i’ll be reminded I’m in the discover tab instead of the following tab because I’ll be flashbanged with a political comic your 46 year old liberal uncle would post on Facebook

i’d also say that the GOP’s obsession with this gives candidates an opportunity to articulate and stand up for their values. “i refuse to make anyone feel like they don’t belong in my [state/city/community]. and i want everyone to live the best life they can achieve [insert policy slogan]”

first day in Mamdani's new york. I have already been forced to change my gender

At the risk of sounding petty, calls for Democratic unity going forward are all well and good, but let’s not forget that the reason Cuomo ran against Mamdani in the first place was a last-ditch effort by the New York Democratic Party to ratfuck their duly elected nominee.

This is the most English cover I've ever seen outside England

AOC: "I do think that this moment, a lot of people who are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody—it puts those folks on notice."

Who’s tracking the best crash out’s? I know one of you are making a thread

This person took this when they called the race

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

The ADL has made an alliance with MAGA. Once you understand that, it's otherwise inexplicable moves make sense.

in honor of his heroic choice to help Cuomo go down in flames i vote we continue to allow Sliwa to wear his very funny beret

I love Brad Lander. I just want him to hang around the city and say hi to folks. Called something like “the city’s buddy.” He asks if you need a coffee or something when he runs to the bodega. You have to venmo him after but he’ll round down and ask for less than it cost

This speech from Mamdani should fire every democrat up. And if the establishment is stupid enough to not ride this wave is an idiot and deserves the worst

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

Reminder that this is a winning position, and people support it
