It’s not framed this way, but what they’re demanding is that people in cities like NYC refuse to address their issues to privilege the politics of “flipping red and purple seats blue,” which they haven’t even demonstrated an ability to do.

The stadium dimensions giveth and the stadium dimensions taketh away

If the Brewers couldn't contact hit their way to a World Series, I sure hope the Jays pull it off with games like this

Not my home, but I know my way around

The Brewers just pulled off the most chaotic double play you'll ever see

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

if you’re a good innocent person your death should matter more. palestinian children have been dying all day every day without true comment and this one shitstain of a human dying is dominating national news. it should matter more.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

BREAKING: One of three teenagers shot near Evergreen High School has died, a St. Anthony Hospital spokesperson said. They did not say which of the three injured students, which included the alleged shooter, died. coloradosun.com/2025/09/10/e...

"that's not funny, no one should lose their lives to gun violence" so true! that's what we've been saying all along. I'm so glad you agree

I assume he meant he was fine with others dying so he could keep his own guns, but the kindest interpretation would be he was so steadfast in his love for the 2A that he himself would die for it. With that version actually happening, it really puts into relief what a hollow thing that is to die for.

Note how blue no matter who is near exclusively used to support bigoted right leaning candidates while that energy disappears when a more socialist leaning candidate like Mamdani does well.

Implying that we need to win on the issue in order to support trans rights further implies that trans people aren’t worth protecting if it’s a losing issue. That’s a fucking monstrous thing to say and any Dem who expresses that idea should be exiled to Antarctica

You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?

You do not stand up to fascism by lining up your own allies, executing them, shouting 'See how committed we are to our cause!' and then shooting yourself. That's how you become a tragi-comic historical footnote.

The point of calling credit card companies isn't to make John Visa have moment of introspection and go "aw shucks I was wrong!" it's to grind business to a halt for such an extended period of time that all the higher ups who are real people with names and addresses decide that this isn't worth it

One like, one book I love.

Because this is unbearable, I just gave to the Sameer Project - recommended by @prisonculture.bsky.social. linktr.ee/thesameerpro...

I wonder which arcana he levels up.

Can't remember a sweep feeling this good.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

No universal health care. No medical marijuana. Kidnapping of men, women and children off the street. A new war. Rampant wealth inequality. I think the Republicans are right. America has turned its back on God.

Only king I acknowledge

The Bears don't get to claim this Pope. They already showed their hatred of Catholicism.

Today is independent bookstore day! 5 bookstores had a week long book crawl where you could get discounts at each store and an entrance into a drawing if you went to all of them, so here's my haul.

Conservatives: we are gonna do bad things Liberals: we are smart. We will let them do this but very loudly tut tut it *Conservatives destroy everything* Liberals: the left did this... It definitely wasn't our own inaction or telling the leftists they were wrong when they got everything 100% right

they really need to invent a second type of money these guys can play around with separate from the money I need to buy food. Business Money. Money 2

WISCONSIN CANNOT BE BOUGHT, ELON.

Damn us deciding to do Jim Crow super hard is cutting into our profits. Only one thing to do. What, stop doing Jim Crow super hard? No, silly! Dock the workers' pay. Not the executives of course.

i mean there are many angles to take this at. here's a straightforward, material one that has nothing to do with policy differences: real lack of time, physical space, and money, all of which correlate with each other. "organization" takes all three of these, of which, many people are lacking.

My latest piece at @thenation.com takes issue with the conventional wisdom that the Dems don't know how to fight Musk's GOP brownshirts effectively. They know how. We know this because they've been waging that kind of ruthless fight against the left for 25 years. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Sure, since you asked so nicely! 1. McConnell and the Senate GOP kept Judd Gregg from joining Obama’s Cabinet and blocked Tom Daschle — a powerful senator! — from being Obama’s HHS pick.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

I will say one last thing on this note. Every single caretaker my mom has had in recent weeks is an immigrant. Those of us with souls already knew that this country would not function without immigrants but certain demographics are about to fuck around and find out.

just over here photoshopping muppets onto the cover of glamour magazine: thread

you can whine about it all you want, 'should' doesn't win you elections also: if every leftie from dem-soc to commie who was pissed at kamala over palestine still promised their vote, she still wouldn't have won. *you lost normies*. bsky.app/profile/spac...

seeing libs continue to yell at anyone frustrated with dems, i am remembering when "bend the knee" was in the discourse and the response to it was "what is this shit? you think you're just ENTITLED to our votes? this isn't how you win voters over!" and then failing to think just a liiiittle harder

I'm really proud of this little list. Once it's a bit more fleshed out (aiming for at least 200, maybe 250 games) I might reach out and see who's willing to help make it a bit more aesthetically pleasing/sortable. And also showcase a bunch of the top games in a big thread here.

Y'know what? It's game shout-out thread time. We're going FREAK mode here. First up: Extreme Evolution: Drive to Divinity. Like Super Monkey Ball if it was a non-linear shapeshifting metroidvania. Eye-searing, but a surprisingly coherent sensory assault. store.steampowered.com/app/2111360/...

The team who beat the Brewers in the playoffs ISN'T going to the World Series?!?! Has a curse been lifted? Can we one day be the bride and not the bridesmaid now?

Spent my day on this thing which I throughly recommend - engaging, never too difficult, clever, but not impossibly hard at all, rich. But also - a great advert for the requirement for narrative design within any puzzle above a certain complexity.

What was the point of curating that block list if it was all going to be destroyed?
