You can tell he spent most of his life as a Republican because he longs for a big strong daddy authoritarian.

Obviously Dylan O’Brien is a fuckin dick in Send Help, *BUT* he wasn’t wrong to not promote Linda to VP. She had zero people skills and management requires people skills not just technical skills.

“I’m going to be the one who finally shuts Will Stancil up” is the “I bet I could score a point off Serena Williams” of Poasting

A minute of scrolling headlines about Hillary Clinton talking about the Supreme Court in 2016.

I should really pin this skeet, cuz I say some version of this 5+ times a week. (Minus the Chess reference. This lady had a quote from One Night in Bangkok in her bio)

I raised over $400,000 for Collins last opponent and this guy is asking whether I’ve donated to her campaign. You know who actually VOTED for her, multiple times? Graham fucking Platner.

Bluesky posters will turn themselves into the thing they hate rather than go to therapy.

Ask yourself why Platner’s faux reachout video to Republicans is a video where he proffers a conspiracy theory that Bernie won two presidential primaries that “the powers that be“ stole from him. Does that sound like Republica outreach?

Completely unsurprising considering he was recruited by Bernie aligned DSA’ers.

On Thursday I had a lovely interview with The Maine Campus, the student-run newspaper at my alma mater and current employer, the University of Maine. #mepolitics mainecampus.com/category/new...

Bert and Ernie should have their own show. I don't want to have to watch Sesame Street to see what they're up to. I'm not 5

You’ll be shocked to learn that the “former” Republican and the dirtbag leftist agree that the democratic candidate is actual garbage.

“My non-voting siblings” is such a long way for him to write “me”.

Kinda burying the lead here, NPR

This really is the long and short of it. Republicans do just enough word games to let their friends in news media continue on with their "well who knows whats in their heart" coverage

Yeah there’s definitely a lot of ALittleFas posing as Antifas

The news be like: 6 DEMOCRATS HELPED REPUBLICANS PASS BILL THAT WOULD KILL BABIES WHO COUGH. *Looks inside* 6 democrats just signed a bill with 3,000,000 republicans that states babies should be killed if they cough. The addition was added 20 mins before closing without democrat knowledge.

The same people who insist that Jews denounce Israel and accept any anti-semitism as actually being fine because it was meant to be anti Zionist (allegedly) also think it’s fine to tell Jews they have to accept the guy who branded himself with Nazi insignia for 20 years and it’s fucking gross.

“There are moments when politics tests whether our principles are real. Graham Platner’s tattoo is one of them. Democrats cannot ask Americans to take extremism seriously while asking Jews to look away when Nazi imagery appears on our own side. No victory is worth that.” @Joe_Roberts01 Link ⬇️

Presumably because he’s going to win the primary and you really do need to vote blue no matter who. But that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to criticize him or the army of hypocrites who think looking for an excuse to kill Iraqis is forgivable but being an aesthetically lame normie liberal isn’t.

This is such a weird argument to make when this court explicitly delayed his prosecution, and ignored the 14th amendment to force states to put him on the ballot. Like the strong Supreme Court MADE this Trump administration.

Has someone paged @michaelhobbes.bsky.social yet? Michael Hobbes to the courtesy phone.

This is not a thing that any food manufacturer does.

LO fucking L

This is just flatly wrong. Dems don’t ignore morons. They propose plans and policies that will improve the morons lives. The morons choose to go for the one that lets them continue to be bigots.

My longstanding very unpopular view is that the only actual remotely credible plan for SCOTUS is “keep winning elections and get very lucky on some timing and strategic choices over decades” and honestly every single scheme I hear for avoiding this leaves me more convinced it’s right

This is true. I don’t go out of my way to bring up 2016 when talking to people who were selfish and childish, but when they say things like “Roe was overturned under Biden” I have to point out “Alan, in 2016 when you voted for Jill Stein, I specifically told you that the SC would overturn Roe”

We will move past the 2016 election when we stop experiencing the negative effects from that election. Which is to say we will not move past it at a time anyone currently living will see.

I’ve had plenty of both and it’s really weird how similar run-ins with the far left have become to harassment by the far right. The weird comments about your appearance. The gleeful attempts to get someone to come kill you or get the feds to after you. The smirking misreading of everything you say

Kind of fitting since a lot of the autism epidemic the MAHA types point to is simply better diagnosis recognizing what was always there, that their solution would once again be to simply deny that truth.

Post your favorite “Lord of the Rings” character(s). Wrong answers only.

Morpheous: you are the One, Neo. You may have spent the last few years looking for me, but I've spent my entire life looking for you. Goofy: gawrsh

We’re talking about Hasan Piker this much because there isn’t a better popular media figure to talk about for the Left, and that’s a problem. Either the Left is a serious movement that needs to be taken seriously, or it’s a bunch of loosely affiliated streamers and podcasts, but you gotta pick one.

My kids are so open to experiencing culture. They'll try anything, from chicken tenders at an Indian restaurant to chicken tenders at a mexican restaurant.

i think it is actually totally fine if urban areas with their higher density populations and higher levels of education have a proportionally greater say in national politics than less-dense and less-educated rural areas

Hakeem Jeffries can’t win with some people, and it’s really such bullshit.

If I were to put on my culture studies hat I’d point out that the pop culture era immediately preceding the current one was dominated by amoral anti-hero strong men (Don Draper, Walter White, House of Cards) which produced a politics of amoral strong men.

Being anti-middle management is one of the dumbest positions that smart people take. I'm in an organisation that slashed middle managers and nothing gets done because execs are swamped with paperwork and there's no resilience when someone senior resigns

AOC, Mamdani, Platner, Fetterman all read from the same script, and it’s one that I find largely appealing, although I tend to be skittish about populism generally, bc I think it ends up biting you in the ass most of the time. But the first two are people I trusted to actively work for the people.

An interesting mix of “you don’t know my girlfriend she goes to another school” alongside “my tshirt saying I didn’t always think Dems sucked is raising questions answered by my t-shirt.”

People who think Trump is funny also think “MY WIFE” Borat voice is funny.

If your toaster starts working like this website today, report it to us on SaferProducts.gov.

I don’t know who Olivia is, but I do know that George and Adam didn’t spend significant time in 2021-24 undermining Biden and Harris, a thing that I can’t say about Parker.

So I assume merovingians blames this on Chuck Schumer for some reason.

Whom amongst us hasn’t grown dreads as a white kid or…wait I’m sorry, Nazi tattoo?

I think it was @postoctobrist.bsky.social who observed that there is a distinct threshold in a flailing British politician's career when the press decides to Notice Things, all of which were either well known or had been previously reported. Thinking of that for no reason
