This is the most purely anti-American thing I've ever heard a politician say, but the media is too obsessed with 3 DSA candidates winning local elections in NY to pay any attention I guess.

It's just like MAGA, except it wants a more tolerant, egalitarian society, where everyone has healthcare and the material prerequisites of a life of dignity. I guess from the perspective of the theater critics in media, that difference is invisible.

If you told me in 2001 that Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass team would become role models for positive masculinity in 2026... Anyway. Dudes Rock!

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

this guy has it

Also they are not being bullied. They believe in the Cause because they are republicans.

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

Remove the slop from your day!

Steve Jobs predicted cities would be designed around this device, which was "as big a deal as the PC." Jeff Bezos called it "one of the most famous and anticipated product introductions of all time." don't let our tech lords fool you into believing they can predict the future.

I'm not an economist but this website is interesting. It seems like some of the city's bureaucracy and some elected officials have a very regressive opinion of who should benefit from government welfare (the wealthy) and who should pay the costs (everyone else). www.ripcitynotripoff.com/work-session

"Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion." - Ben Franklin on Emmers' German ancestors

genuinely crazy to watch these people freak out over what is essentially 21st century new dealism

There is so much amazing research that went into this amazing video. And I'm only halfway through! There is also so much in here that reminds me of what happened in Oregon in the late-80s and early-90s when the Oregon Citizens Alliance (OCA) fought so hard against gay rights.

New video about the fight for marriage going live right now! Come join us for the live watch-along: youtu.be/m4F2ozwvybw?...

Is it weird that I’m more horrified by the freeways that WERE built than the ones that weren’t

The thing about the right--in the United States and elsewhere--is their reliance on flag use as THE shibboleth of a (Christian) nationalistic, fascistic, and largely performative "patriotism" that has no real foundational meaning behind it. It is a patriotism that tells on itself.

What the fuck is it good for? Im asking sincerely. Medical people say its shit for diagnosing, its utter garbage for creative fields, it cannot teach and hallucinates false answers, programmers have to fix its code half the time, businesses find it doesn't help productivity and it causes psychosis.

After Flock controversy, Eugene considers data privacy policy Portland is now implementing privacy impact assessments while also creating public reporting and transparency requirements.

For anyone with fond memories of Joe Dante's EXPLORERS, @vinsyn.bsky.social have gone all out with this one: trailersfromhell.com/explorers-4k/

Jesus H. Christ, this is the dumbest fucking shit. The answer is the non-special edition Original Trilogy. What are we even doing here? The fucking Ewok movies? The Clone Wars? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

This is because the DC Board of Elections is waiting to release results until everyone has voted, and there were lines of late-arriving voters at some election sites when polls closed. Josh could have easily learned about this (entirely reasonable) policy because the board publicly announced it.

The emphasis on how autistic kids will "never pay taxes, never hold a job" (which is bullshit) gives the game away. He's a eugenicist who wants you to believe that people with autism can't be productive members of society and are therefore surplus to requirements.

It has just struck me that Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice is one of those rare rap songs in which the police turn up and are extremely helpful, neatly resolving the situation for the protagonist

i have been obsessed with this for years. allowing manufacturers to sell direct to consumers would be good for consumers and also destroying the car dealership would be an existential crisis for republicans

"Let's meet at a barbecue restaurant and let's see how much you love barbecue."

There's a far better case for banning social media for people 65+ than for people 16-18

Every so often, some washed up sitcom dude do this sort of thing where they pretend that they made some truly edgy and controversial comedy that couldn't be made today, and it's just like... you're saying this about THE OFFICE?

Mitch McConnell will receive a level of medical care he has spent his entire career preventing other Americans from having

Lauren Southern's story of being raped by Andrew Tate is sad on so many levels. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

lauren southern is a cautionary tale of how this ideology will destroy you

genuinely speechless here.

YouTube recommended this to me. The algos are working.

They want "socialism" but think everyone else doesn't, they are thinking about the mythical swing voter in their heads. We all make fun of Chuck Schumer, and rightly so, but the median Democrat is thinking about the Baileys all the fucking time.

OCEANIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY CLOSE TO A DEAL WITH EURASIA

Nearly 180,000 Black men served in the Union Army. Another 19,000 in the Navy. Black soldiers accounted for roughly 10% of Union military deaths. A large portion of each were formerly enslaved. I imagine they gave a damn about slavery.

Periodic reminder that the vast majority of all gender affirming surgery done on minors in the US is "gyno correction." That means removing breast tissue from cis boys, usually football players, that didn't feel manly enough to compete with dudes like me, took steroids, and accidentally grew titties

You are only a real New Yorker if you grew up in the sewers under the city with your Italian-named brothers and were raised by a mutant Japanese rat and trained in the martial arts.

The correct response to this question, for any and all politicians, is as simple as: why are you asking me about this, it's less common than lightning strikes or alligator attacks. Let's talk about protecting kids from lightning strikes and alligators instead.

“more children have been preyed upon by republican politicians than have received gender reassignment surgery. let’s talk about that.”

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

Been laughing at this for 45 minutes straight

Packwood was ultimately brought down by his sexual predation, but his star within the GOP had been slowly fading for a few years before. He was still a powerful figure in Oregon politics and a big player in the Senate, but he clashed with the New Right and was past his prime by Dec. 1992.

This is such a perfect post by the baseball crank National Review guy. Sure guy, Packwood was taken down NOT by his own sexually predatory actions, but rather by the feminist movement whose policy priorities he often championed. Very wise insight.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads
