Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

chasing down the mugger will only validate his decision to run away with my wallet

There’s something about waking up stressed between 1 and 3 AM and not being able to go back to sleep. I don’t like it and also don’t know what to do about it February has been my highest stress month on record and I can’t wait to show it the fucking door

Next time you think wow, that person is from an Ivy League school they must be smart please consider the following

before some mouthbreathing blue maga is like "but the biden admin shut it down!" lol it was for "cost" not because it is a blight on humanity, and in June 2024, where it was not demolished and trump immediately reopened it with a contract with CoreCivic, the notorious private prison company

dear all bluewavers, blue maga, and gavin newsom supporters: this is who you are. you support this. you love this. you want to see more of this. this is why you want to shove gavin newsom down our throats. this is why you still worship obama despite him being a bloodthirsty charlatan.

One of the reasons we are the world's most prestigious literary magazine is because every issue we put out our contributors set the bar at writing the best poems of the century

…Because, the story goes, we need the votes of people who *don’t* want full trans rights. Because THEY have that purity test, and must be catered to. So trans people and the people who love them should just suck it up and watch their rights taken away. For some mythical voter’s (yep) purity test.

I hate the dismissive way politics-heads talk about lefties having “purity tests” as an insult. It’s such a sneer. But looked at another way - what it really means is that they have DIFFERENT purity tests. E.g. if we demand full trans rights, that’s supposedly a purity test. Why? [cont]

🤷🏿‍♂️The backflips white people go through to try to justify police killing unarmed Black people for no reason while opposing ICE killing unarmed white people for no reason, is something quite amazing to observe. Cops have killed 141 people so far this year. It's not even March yet.

The right-wing attempting to strip civil rights and medical autonomy from trans people is a "thing that really matters." Throwing minority groups under the bus is not spending *less* time on identity politics, it's just a craven and pathetic pandering to right-wing identity politics.

INSPIRING: This Man just woke up out of a fog and ate a few handfuls of dried stale of blue corn tortilla chips for dinner while staring blankly at the kitchen walls

y’all don’t need me to tell you this but this is plainly unconstitutional under any remotely rational reading of the constitution

trans people are either a suspect or quasi suspect class (case law is not settled) and there’s no way this could survivor intermediate scrutiny

Always remember if you had an idea or made a sketch on company time, no you fucking didn't

tune in to hear me say ‘jesus fucking christ’ more times than i ever had in my life before

so weird how every single "anti-cancel culture" guy is running cover for pedophiles!

imagine writing this article when you could just not

Get in loser, we're doing the cancel culture panic again www.public.news/p/end-the-wi...

I was under supervision of consulting producer Joel Trussell who helped direct me to the overall style and vibe we were aiming for. I had a lot of fun with these and I feel so fortunate to have been involved in this show’s development ❤️ Biggest congrats to the writers and production crew! (2/2)

so obviously our Strip Law main cast: Adam Scott (incredible) Janelle James (frigging revelatory) Stephen Root (American Treasure) Shannon Gisela (a future STAR) and Keith David (a titan) are perfect but I also wanna highlight the crazy talent we got to guest on here look at these cards!

My entire household is in this breach and all that is offered is "please watch your credit accounts and sign up for a free trial of Experian's watcher" or whatever

if you use or promote any LLM you hate deterministic outputs. Deterministic input/output cycles are my favorite thing. I get out of bed every day because I want to make sure software and hardware are fucking running, reliably

New York City police are investigating after they can't convert a word doc to a PDF

Thinking about how paying for drugs to look the way you’re told you’re supposed to when you don’t look that way bc the system feeds you as cheaply as possible & for as much profit as possible, but taking them robs you of sexual & gustatory pleasure is a near-perfect example of how capitalism works.

if anybody wants to join in our years-long pressure campaign against Birmingham, AL (which repeatedly renews its ICE contracts despite public opposition) please politely harangue the mayor (Randall Woodfin) and city councilors We also spoke out against tracking cameras in 2020

shoutout to Davdison for handling this gracefully and reaching out to Jordan and Lindo may the BBC burn

One thing the Warframe fandom has taught me is people don't understand what a caste system is

it is the responsibility of politicians in new york to not only mock this behavior by nypd, but distance themselves from it. this is not normal. multiple news outlets covering this IS NOT NORMAL.

“you bad kids shouldn’t have included those cops in your snowball fight, because now they’re gonna hunt you for sport” is literally the messaging right now, and thats ridiculous

Don't look now but I think Google's AI just found the Entwives

The president began Tuesday evening’s address boasting about single-handedly “ending the penny”. He then spent the proceeding two hours insulting pennies. “The worst coin,” he claimed. “Smells bad. Smells even worse than the other ones. Tastes bad too.”

Is he levitating a pumpkin or is that supposed to be a basketball

i would look great in these

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 25: Invisibility Q: Why does it seem like Black folk don't contribute much to society or science or history? Most inventions are from Europeans? Why does it seem this way? Don't cancel me!🤡 Click this link and read the whole thread. All of it.

I cannot overstate how deep a groove in my personality was worn by learning about Iran (and US/Iran interactions) at a young age. The collective, historical 'we' did this to ourselves. All I can say is, as always, I hope this doesn't happen (it would be a cool bonus if the SOTU also got canceled)

There are "you'll never guess what this is in reply to" posts and then there's this one

Further proof that the whole "getting cancelled" thing is nonsense. Bar a few exceptions, if you're a big enough name you can just coast on by like nothing happened.

really don’t need this at all from my favorite streaming service. At least the LinkedIn deal was understandable given the context of the episode

This is also a story about caste! Hindutva apologists are far more likely to buy into this kind of MAGA-adjacent eugenicist horseshit if they are also caste supremacists! (Special fuck you to Gavin Newsom for vetoing the bill that would have banned caste discrimination in California.)

This is genuinely really bad, the kind of shit that guarantees a bad outcome. Very dodgy

...by which i mean put more shows on dropout that we think are... (a) uniquely great (b) perhaps even underexposed shows like SUITS LA (kidding, i didn't watch it, though i did watch literally all of og SUITS) have or know a show you think we should consider? get in touch!

sorry to return to this thoroughly trampled ground but the thought of someone yelling at a posting website for being unimportant and getting clobbered by hundreds of people kept making me chuckle so i had to make something for the next time news breaks on here

As someone who owned the PINNACLE of Pinto technology, a 1980 Mercury Bobcat, as my first car 1992, by extrapolation I should expect to be able to buy a Cybertruck for ~$900 in 2037.

Time once again to exonerate themselves and blame their constituents

this is obviously true But Also! enabling genocide in palestine ranks higher than winning elections, in the list of democrat ambitions. even if they'd known this information ahead of time, they would not have changed course

The longhouse doesn’t want you to drink mango habanero sauce from the bottle before kissing someone. They will try and shame you from this.
