instructions unclear, advising the party to start recruiting democratic candidates at crossfit

I have seen a largish number of comments Across the Web in which it is posited that young women voted for Mamdani because he’s hot, and if ever there were an audacity of cope moment that so deftly combines misogyny and insecurity, friends,

dort's dropped a new copypasta

This year has been the best defence of the jury trial system ever

Firefly?

Detroit really needs a longer-term EV strategy than “do EVs when a Democrat is in power and then get rid of them when Republicans win” because we are on year 15 of this shit and I gotta say it’s a waste of R&D and industrial capacity

i would do anything for love but i won't douthat

Yesterday's live video with @maxread.info and Jay Caspian Kang now available. www.unpopularfront.news/p/read-max-x...

this is how i know i've made a good post

The thing I find most remarkable about this take-down is less how ruthlessly he embarrassed his ex-girlfriend on national TV and more how prescient it was about what would eventually become clear in the Trumpist takeover of the GOP.

It offers hope, in its portrayal of Duterte supporters who eventually turned on him and opposed him- but also a crushingly cynical last word from one of Evangelista’s colleagues.

Some People Need Killing by Patricia Evangelista is a fantastic, haunting, nauseating look into this dynamic and Duterte’s dirty war. It feels even more prescient now than it did when she wrote it.

The miltwit gov in exile liberation army has developed and will sustain the resources required to wage, and win, a two front total denial strategy of mean and bad poasts against both the Cheese and Dort indefinitely.

This is part of what I see as the biggest obstacle to Trump consolidating authoritarianism. He has been as successful as he has because people see what they want in him. This amorphousness makes it very difficult to enforce the kind of discipline needed to consolidate.

The political geography of the South is a fascinating thing. 1996 NC GOV (D+13) vs. 2024 DC GOV (D+15)

You may be able to indict a ham sandwich but you cannot convict one

This is the worst idea I’ve ever seen for a theme park

1) It's interesting that Shapiro doesn't ever substantiate what words Mamdani has used that were "hurtful"— and he implicitly concedes this by then tacking on "used around him by others" 2) This is the posture of a presidential candidate who knows that his position on this is increasingly unpopular

on behalf of @liberalcurrents.com, i promise you and zack pearlman from the 2010 found footage comedy film The Virginity Hit that we do not and never will use chatgpt to write our articles www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMse3qvA/

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

You spend all this time, reading Clausewitz and Mahan and Thucydides, studying campaigns and thinking hard about the roots of victory and defeat, the experience of war and what that means for policy and then you look over and the policy movers are strategy cheese and infantrydork.

i will never delete strategy cheese posts

Many people have correctly answered "hell no" but it's actually worse than that. Dude was on the oleaginous conservative op-ed beat his second year of college, and it was a glide path from there. Monomaniacally focused on being a wingnut apologist from his teens on.

jack dorsey got lucky and is an unremarkable idiot, episode 7,000

do they call it the elbycule or the colbycule

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

feels like only yesterday i was reading reporting about how dems were ready to cave

Right. We need to activate the wine moms and de-activate the sparkling grape juice moms.

I think Trump thinks that getting rid of the filibuster is a “win elections forever” button and has for a while. He cannot comprehend why the senate Rs won’t push it

Thune: Until the Democrat Shutdown is resolved by Skeleton Schumer the Democrats will continue failing the American people Louisiana Louie (Senate-R): If we never reopen the government and have people starve I consider it a win

I really strongly get the sense that she believes its possible to maintain all of the gains of liberal feminism that she enjoys or thinks are worthwhile while winding things in the direction of encouraging other, less liberal modes of life and I think that's just super dangerous.

She comes off far far better in this interview then Andrews, and makes a number of points that I even, in some form, agree with. The problem is that she's just doesn't show any particular theory of power, either for how to achieve the things she wants or the power that those things risk giving up

Hanania has exactly one belief: elitism. he is willing to follow that wherever it goes, which includes racism but unlike most racists also includes thinking conservatives are morons

Thune: Chuck Schumer needs to end The Democrat Shutdown so we can get back to delivering for the American people President Grandpa: THE REPUBLICANS IN THE SENATE HAVE ONE EASY TRICK TO END THIS, ONLY THEM, THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY DO IT TO OWN THE LIBS, IT'S EASY

Thune had a somewhat plausible "we won't negotiate with terrorists/reopen the govt and we can talk" approach, which certainly would have been reasonable to go with in normal times, but unfortunately the rest of his party decided to completely undercut him in every possible way

living in the Elbridge Colby polycule house

Moderate liberal politicians are mostly pretty dumb in my experience. Epistemology wholly based on what dumb rich guys in their district think about stuff.

world's worst polycule, featuring Ross Douthat

I like how their entire strategy was predicated on republicans over-performing on Tuesday and instead it completely blew up in their faces

Until I die, I will never understand why so many motorists think that “having a car” should give you special protections from doing crimes.

"Crime" is "bad things on TV" (now TikTok) and this administration is overwhelmingly creating chaotic content that is going viral on TikTok.

Probably the best signal that people are overemphasizing the issues people have with crime/immigration is these types of elections where its the core part of the job and voters aren't running away from Democrats.

you ever think if we live in the worst of all timelines

Oh, it's gonna be *bad* bad.

Helen Rittelmeyer is now Helen Andrews and I am beside myself cackling at this monologue.

Will be interesting to see who embraces old Richard Hoste.

Literally the only example of the power of Yglesianism to convert people to voting for Democrats.
