why is email still the only 2FA option on bsky

i hop on here occasionally and start to miss (old) twitter and then i realize like yeah i am probably better off without any of this

is that food for the soul / hibimeshi show good

omg AIM has been opensourced github.com/mk6i/retro-a...

Btw the democrat consultant economy have organized faster against Representative Al Green than they have against Elon

i’ll just observe that republicans are on the negative side of public opinion on DEI but yglesias insists that democrats move to the right there as well.

"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

Rep. Zooey Zephyr - My Wife - just gave an incredible speech against a drag ban in Montana. It was so strong that a Republican rose to speak passionately against the bill, chastising the sponsor. The drag ban dies in Montana, flips 10+ Republican votes! This is the power of representation.

Republican support for same-sex marriage down 31pts, from 55% to 24%, in four years according to new poll from YouGov. Yikes.

if we're gonna be spicy, let's be spicy virtually all americans regardless of color or gender, often act like cishet white men with their unearned confidence and arrogance when making proclamations about other cultures and parts of the world

i guess i also wish americans and westerners who aren't familiar with korea would stop with their hot takes about korean culture be it the coup, be it labor actions, be it protests, or 4b. y'all know nothing and yet you have such unearned confidence

이준석 : 국회 문을 닫는게 말이 되냐 엉엉 박지원(83세, 계엄 6회차) : 나는 어떻게 들어왔냐고? 그런 애송이랑 비교하면 섭하지

I was preparing to pitch an op-ed on the nationwide protests calling for President Yoon's resignation, aiming to provide global context amid the limited international coverage. Given the urgency, I’m sharing it now. I didn’t expect events to escalate this quickly. #SouthKorea #Democracy

that Korea does this, immediately, in the face of actual soldiers trying to impose martial law - when members of our own congress voted for a coup hours after the J6 mob stormed congress, and the coup instigator won the next election - is about as scathing an indictment of America as I’ve ever seen

if you're not korean kindly shut the fuck up about fantasizing about shit like this.

Stuff like this is why you need to stop giving these fools attention/dunks and just block (especially twitter newcomers). They’re annoying you and halting progress **on purpose**. They only want to be seen and are not worth your time when you can be doing better endeavors with your life & other ppl

Mask off.

congrats to the teamsteres

Spoke to Nathan Grayson for his excellent piece on the state of the left-wing creator economy!

Pardon me but have you any Woke Poupon

Finally getting the GOOD replies

NOOOOOOO 😭

Speaker of the House is actively involved in an effort to cover up allegations (and potential evidence) that the nominee for Attorney General was involved in sex trafficking

They don't do a lot of interviews. But when they do talk, you consistently get signals that Republican Supreme Court justices are constantly marinating in right-wing media. Gorsuch spontaneously brings up the Peanut the squirrel story. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

An ex-NY Times columnist and Ivy League grad interviewed a billionaire about how he, the world’s richest man, and several other billionaires helped another billionaire/Ivy League grad/real estate mogul world defeat an HBCU grad to reclaim the most powerful office in the world. The headline:

True wealth

Grim stuff. "Approximately 50% of Americans read so poorly that they are unable to perform simple tasks such as reading prescription drug labels" www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/post/literac...

Everyone that makes transphobia a central part of their political identity is confident that they're the first person to ever do it except "making trans people's lives harder" is not a new idea! We've tried that, it sucks!

Nothing says “good marriage” more than your wife’s office wishing you great success in future endeavors

my opinion on "dems use too many polite euphemisms": the right has spent the last 40 years constructing the Lib-Owning Machine. it is fully self-powered and requires no actual input from the libs. it cannot be derailed by changing inputs because it can adapt to any fuel and, indeed, invent its own

Telling voters this guy is Hitler and gonna end America as we know it because he sent a mob to storm the Capitol when he lost last time and then sitting down for a fireside chat makes us look like the suckers and marks we are

Freelance video game journalists are propping up the industry, and many are being paid dogshit in return: aftermath.site/freelance-vi...

so a lot of people are talking about the 4b movement. a lot of western women, specifically younger ones, who seem to have largely heard about it through social media via other western, non-korean people, or by articles that cover it with a tinge of orientalist exoticism. if i may, some thoughts: 🧵

idk why so many of the left and dems are talking as if MULTIPLE reasons can’t all be why it happened. there’s no one true answer

I just checked and this is accurate. We actually know the name of the guy who told Kamala Harris to stop saying “we’re not going back” and calling Republicans weird. It won’t surprise you to learn he’s a 71-year-old white guy who worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaigns.

Regardless of the outcome at this point, I really hope this outcome ends the idea that Trump's first term was some sort of fluke, that we as a country are 'better than that.' Naive, see-no-evil ass position that self-sabotages the work of building an holsitic alternative vision for the country.

A lot of people think a vote for Kamala is just a vote against Trump. And that’s not true. A vote for Kamala is also against: * Mass deportations * Forced birth * Elon Musk * People who whine about being silenced despite having massive platforms and never shutting the fuck up

Time for the least surprising thing you will ever read about Megan McArdle

8 years after the emails thing blew up hillary's campaign we have this guy up on stage bragging that he's illegally conducting diplomacy with netanyahu and putin and it's simply not a story. Genuinely remarkable

i wrote this after trump won in 2016 and if he wins again i might try to publish it again unaltered. that’s especially since in the intervening years quite a few formerly right-leaning commentators have come to agree with its basic message. slate.com/news-and-pol...

a free press is essential to democracy but these specific institutions are not www.npr.org/2024/10/25/n...

newspaper endorsements mean less than nothing at this point, but this is a genuinely bad sign for a second Trump term - the press, and specifically its billionaire owner class, is signaling in advance how quickly and thoroughly it will capitulate to Dictator Trump's demands

Anyway, my experience of the left has always been this: The left loves to complain about liberals based purely on vibes, but then are willing to turn around and sell out anyone if it will own the libs. Democrats are imperfect, but unlike the nihilists on either side of them, actually try to govern.

“trump is exhausted” yeah well join the fuckin club
