I think the latter point is correct. The former is mostly correct but incomplete because caring more about cheap groceries only gets you to vote for Trump if you’re a complete fucking moron. Democrats are accounting, sometimes badly, for how many Americans are complete fucking morons.

This man is talking about stealing a country at gunpoint from nations the US is allied with. Of course Europeans hate us. You would feel the same way if you were in their place. American voters put this man in power, he didn’t seize it this time.

Every time I listen to Trump speak for even a little bit I am viscerally repulsed it renews my sincere hope that every person who voted for him dies of pancreatic cancer very soon.

If you don’t have Specific People You Laugh At In Your Heart when a team loses, we are so so so so so different

I have enough milk and eggs to get me through the next week and a half. All the bread I’ll ever need. I do need to go out and buy snow removal supplies though. Fingers crossed I can get at least a decent shovel.

The starting point of bigotry is always the individual bigot. Disclaiming interest in individual responsibility is claiming at the outset that you don’t care about the key piece. We aren’t pawns of our information environment. When so many of her cohort aren’t queer phones, she made a choice.

Permanent Daylight Saving Time? No, thanks! Let's end clock change with permanent Standard Time and keep our mornings bright! ☀️

Correct. I was high school debate guy. Argument as trolling, capitalizing on people’s general inability to precisely articulate why obviously vile and stupid claims are vile and stupid. Cherry-picking facts or disputed claims and using them to hammer expert consensus.

This is the heart of it. Both-sizing because you don't know what to do. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Two loaves baked today. Sourdough with a bit of rye. Stiff starter.

It hasn’t changed my policy views yet but this true for both porn and legalized gambling. Making a thing mainstream, legal, and easily available all the time does substantially change how people interact with the thing.

We’re in a new round of bashing the Dem response. Plenty to bash and I want the current leadership to go. They’re not fit for the moment. But also don’t conflate your criticisms. They can meet the moment without moving their policy positions left. There are center-right never-Trumpers who do.

Disturbing on many levels. One problem is that even if a lawsuit prevails it is basically no risk to ICE. No damages and relief will be limited to “let this person see their attorney.” Lots of need for new causes of action and specified damages against ICE specifically and feds generally.

“we might go to war with Europe over Greenland” is not normal behavior and cannot be slotted into normal political rhetoric by people who would like to reestablish normal political relations with Europe someday

i feel like Americans don't get the level of eye-rolling this is getting from Europe

Literally gonna be the opposite of every result I wanted in the division round. Just one fucking year can we have a cool SB matchup.

No fucking way.

This is right but just as stills detach from the context of the play the argument detaches the play from the spiritual context of the game. Denver winning feels wrong, and unless you’re a Josh Allen hater for whatever reason (which is fine, he’s just a player) the outcome feels icky.

It is so baffling to me that so many banks and other financial institutions still use text or email for 2FA. Like so many places I’d expect to lag have shifted to passkeys instead of passwords or Authenticator apps for 2FA.

If you’re cold, they’re cold, but you don’t have to let them in. - The third amendment

Make them rename it ASSLaw until they do (originally was Antonin Scalia School of Law instead of Antonin Scalia Law School before they realized, y'know...ASSLaw)

Tear this shit down like it's Baghdad 2003

Feels not as lopsided in this next one. Mostly want Kenneth Walker and JSN to suffer career-ending injuries.

The Broncos are not unlikable in the scale of KC but they gave Tim fucking Tebow a playoff win and that’s unforgivable.

I feel so fucking bad for Josh Allen.

Goddam. I wish I weren’t so invested in the Bills.

I have many mostly stupid sports opinions but somehow don’t really care about the tush push.

One of my football opinions with which no one else will agree is that fumbles should have a per-team possession arrow. Doesn’t matter who recovers. We just alternate within each team. Always starts with the other team recovering.

Correlation Understander logging on here and I have to agree. Only 7.2% of all receptions this NFL season were touchdowns. Meanwhile, of the 26 catches by linemen since the 2021 season, 13 were touchdowns, exactly 50 percent statistically every pass to a non-lineman is a huge mistake

My policy of betting against Michigan ultimately doesn’t work. Like I’ll be glad to make a bunch of money if this bullshit continues but I’d trade it back for beating the win.

I feel like I have posted at least once a month now that every single thing Democrats want to get put into law needs to come with a private right of action attached that includes monetary damages and a timetable.

Happy World Pizza Day to all who celebrate. Here are some photos of my various pizzas.

One thing I deeply appreciate about this post (aside from the whole thread being great) is that it provides an explanation for billionaire fragility that’s specific to obscene wealth and not brick-headed materialism.

America has a housing shortage. Every single housing proposal you see that is not "build more housing" will have the primary effect of pushing up the prices of existing housing, and is therefore, in reality, a plan to enrich current homeowners. In conclusion, build more housing.

There’s no way they’re this fucking bad. One thing to prevaricate on abolition. That’s wrong but they are skittish about optics, with *some* reason. This is another level of capitulation.

JUST IN: The Virginia Senate has approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights. The Virginia House already did this on Wednesday. It's official: there'll be a referendum later this year on the issue.

Well I spoke it into existence. Contemplating a substitute trip to Ellesmere Island, which would be amazing and remote and rejuvenating and very expensive.

“Twitter is basically a Rhodesian rump state.” - from the guys group chat.

“Do you support ICE?” “Not really.” “Hell f*ckin’ nah.” These two dudes drink for free on us if we ever run into them in Minnesota 🍻

Literally, the stupidest people doing the stupidest stuff and systematically dismantling our democratic norms and institutions

Goddammit. My planned trip to Greenland is gonna get cancelled, isn’t it?

There’s a lot of social pressure to have children and then enormous burdens, economic and otherwise, are put on those who have them. The complete opposite arrangement would be way better: strong support systems for people with kids, but soft pressure not to have them unless you’re very sure.

Banning social media for kids may be good or bad but that guy is a comically obvious bullshit artist with entire books full of trite lessons extrapolated from anecdotes that are themselves barely half-true.

Hey you ICE bastards let me draw you a map of your future

Most of the framers of the 14th Amendment were obsessed with preventing southern Democrats from taking over the Court and nullifying whatever was ratified. They couldn't have known that Lincoln and Grant would botch their SCOTUS nominations so badly that the nullification came from inside the house

I mean most elites are collaborators and/or capitulators but regular libs are the literal actual frontlines of anti-fascism. Like idk Renee Good’s politics but odds are you’d call her a lib on Bluesky and she literally was just martyred for the anti-fascist cause. Literally that’s what happened.

The only good ICE agent is a …
