why is it every tweet and skeet about hillary leads off with how flawed she is you ppl are literally brainwashed -- just in case you want to know how we got where we are

Trying to imagine a more embarrassing thing to admit in a public forum than “I’m a 61 year old anarchist” and so far I’ve come up with “I’ve just shit myself” and…nothin.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

I don't know, it seems like a lot of people have picked their impressions long before they read a single statement, and most statements are filtered through that impression.

It already is. The Democratic party’s largest voter demographic is Black voters, who also compromise the largest segment of the working class. What Platner means here is, “white people.”

Newsom doesn't have stans; only anti-stans who keep shrieking about how they're not going to vote for him in 2028 while the rest of us are trying to win LBJ-size majorities in Congress in November and wish they would shut the fuck up.

"Seeks revenge" is a bizarre way to describe "suing over discrimination".

No one is obligated to help pull a baby out of a burning building. Being pulled out of a burning building is earned, not demanded.

“Hey man, you stole my car” does not imply I’d let you have it if you just asked

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

It’s frequently notable to me that millennial “leftists” whose suburban parents would have been listening to that stuff driving them to school talk about the Democratic Party in essentially the same terms Rush Limbaugh did

ladies, be careful with this bad boy. he has chlamydia.

America is neither exceptionally good nor exceptionally evil but your brain has been so fried by wallowing in right wing propaganda for a decade that you do the same things they do, just leftishly.

I’m not a big fan of putting the statements of a romantic partner onto the other person, but this man’s partner wants to be one of 435 legislators responsible for guiding this country.

Why won’t the party who I constantly shit on and deride (despite now running for a nomination from), who can’t even organize my redbrown friends and I into doing something that takes less than an hour every two years, make a majority of Americans stop all economic activity for a sustained period.

it’s legitimately a huge fucking scandal that the FBI director has fucked up at least two major investigations because he uses the FBI’s planes as private planes and has actively failed to even bother with one of the highest profile abductions since the lindburgh baby

I do love that the wagon circling is such a knee jerk reaction that a bunch of douchebags jumped to it for a thing she realized was a mistake and apologized for. That said, good on Gaby for this.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton. “Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

Hilarious that after I read through this write-up a few hours ago, I stumble into this interaction in this game:

There is a whole cadre of people here who think it is vitally, vitally important to trash one particular loud-mouthed lib and failed State house candidate from Minneapolis, and it is impossible to explain to these people that this is yet another Too Online pathology which renders them ineffective

I don't think any of these journos understand just how much of the reaction is coming from their *complete inability to take an L*. The Verge could have released a small statement, could have said nothing, but instead *every last journo* had to demonstrate just how much they *despise* Will Stancil.

"The elderly are physically and financially healthier than ever. So why do their needs keep taking priority over younger generations?" Because they both reliably return their ballots and tell elected officials how they feel about things. www.wsj.com/economy/over...

Imagine being a TV Stand Up Improv Podcaster with a massive platform using it to make fun of a child, even a child who was probably raised by shitty people.

I am tired of this world-these people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.

Is it possible that Gaby could do good reporting but also have a piece that’s less good bc it’s just gossip, & that she misrepresented what she was working on wrt to Will, or if she did a shitty job on this does it mean everything else was bad? Just trying to figure out if reporters are infallible.

I mean, your reporter’s own description was “mini-profile” which, I know I went to J-School a long time ago, but would typically not be used to describe a feature length article.

I will note stancil talked to the press to let them witness ice atrocities up close and the people mad at stancil talked to the press to tell them they were mad at stancil. I ask you, which one is the Better strategy for victory?

I don’t disagree, but the problem with a demand like this, is that I’m not actually sure that was ICE or doge did was illegal, and even if illegal, I’m not sure it carries like, jail time. Which is a big problem for making this demand.

Why won’t the Dems do the thing that they are doing in the post I am replying to.

Counterpoint, we need a new generation of WW2 "Fascists bad, America fuck yeah" propaganda for various reasons so let them cook

But also because it’s cold there.

The overly loud part is the problem. There are not enough leftists in the country to elect a dog catcher in a medium sized city, much less the president. But they help to spread right wing propaganda which is what discourages voting.

Whoever made my Wendy's tonight deserves to get their ass ate real good

What are the chances that the person Ellie screenshot has gone on a long diatribe about how her burrito taxi is too expensive and charging her for it is ableism? 100%? 1000000%?

I miss when you could post Brave Norman Rockwell Townsperson and the caption could be, like, “R.E.M was wrong to leave ‘Fretless’ off of Out of Time” instead of “The secret police should stop murdering people.”

People as stupid as connabin0id should just be blocked.

how we got here

My wife and I met up at a bar, had drinks I had a nervous breakdown about the fact that I’d quit smoking 2 days before then gave her a hug and called her kiddo at the end of the date. For some reason she invited me to her New Years Eve Party a couple weeks later.

Ah great, it’s my worst fear from before the election happening. It’s why I stopped being friends with an old friend who defended people who were refusing to vote for Harris. cooperlund.medium.com/my-personal-...

The thing about Newsom throwing trans people under the bus is that there is nowhere in the US, and maybe the world generally, where it is safer or healthier to be trans than California, the state he is the governor of.

What an absolutely brain dead reason to support fascism.

100% this but BE POSITIVE. DONT THREATEN. DONT BE A DICK. Say “I’m a constituent and I want Senator __________ to know that I appreciate them voting against the SAVE act.”

Man he makes such a good point here. Hey, how did Mike Johnson get to be the speaker, and have the power to do this?

Do not listen to anything this person says. They are functionally illiterate when it comes to anything other than posting.

"tHe FaCt ThAt DeMs WoNt uSe ThEiR gReEn LaNtErN pOwErS tO iMpEaCh TrUmP pRoVeS tHeY aRe SeCrEtLy In LeAgUe WiTh RePuBlICaNs. tHaT's WhY i VoTeD fOr JiLl StEiN!!1!!1!"

What mechanism should they use that they aren’t currently? Be specific.

When you’re mean to me, this is who you’re being mean to.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social we are doing a big family trip to the Greek isles this summer. I actually want to dress well on this trip instead of cargo shorts and tevas. What are some resources I can look to for inspiration? (Or just tell me what to get. I’m 6’2” and ~300lbs)

At jiu jitsu today someone told me “you have like zero technique, but you’re strong as fuck. It’s like trying to wrestle rebar.” So I’ll be holding on to that for the next month or two.

Hey, can someone give me a good explanation of the functional way that incrementalism works?
