cost of car ownership exponentially increasing bc auto industry only wants to sell giant expensive vehicles that squeeze as much profit as possible: normal free market stuff Minimal congestion fee in a place you don’t live and rarely visit: literal war

No it won’t, shut the fuck up lady

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

Is… is that a lot of coffee? Is that bad

i'm stupid. put me in the ny times.

Hard not to see this in hindsight as the prototype: factual error, claim criticism-as-harassment, instant “freethinker who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo" status. A very durable model.

for me to poop on

My dude is posting this shit on his vacation. Absolutely crashing out in the group chat, no doubt, that’s why Dave Weigel and the rest of the contrarian white dude set chimed in. No Max, you are wrong and a bigot and no amount of posting on your time off will change that you are a Nazi bootlicker

Wrong! What fuckin’ good have the Cheneys and the Lincoln Project and every other Never Trump “former” republican been? They’re losers and just sop up consultant money trying to deliver considerable amounts of republican voters and it just doesn’t work.

Again, I can't believe that this has to be said, but if you defend or praise Marjorie Taylor Greene then your opinion is not now and will never be worth anything.

Men doing this whole “I will vanquish continents for my children” LARP is so goofy in the context of household surveys. It’s nice you’ll kill millions for your daughter, maybe we can start at doing a load of laundry for your wife who does the vast majority of household labor?

You can be a Tasmanian Devil of vile and easily disproven bullshit, but if you also hate trans people you will be called a "challenging thinker" by American media institutions

The Marjorie Taylor Greene conciliation tour is fascinating to watch - it doesn't accomplish its stated goals of damaging Trump any more than she was willing to do on her own, but it's still an excuse for centrists to browbeat leftists for "failing to think strategically"

The height of liberalism is passing bills, she passed a bill. Because JVL also hates trans people, he doesn't see the *content* of the bill as disqualifyingly illiberal. And generally, he only sees *processes* as liberal (because the Friends of Bulwark can always buy the results of a *process*).

Dave acts like we are all the stupid ones by misunderstanding his post. No we understand you fine Dave, you think you are being lowkey bigoted when it really is just way more obvious than that. I think we should have a bill to castrate all male journalists, if we vote on it, it’s ok

See this is the shit he thinks he is slick with. But just imagine the bigoted shit this dude says in his group chats or in a DC bar. He knows it too, he just dismisses it as part of a game.

Dave Weigel also infected with elite “journalist” brain. Much like his colleagues at Semafor, Dave is agreeing with JVL here because he is also an anti-trans bigot. Nazi shit

::Republicans pass a bill to re-institute chattel slavery:: you: well, they should be praised because they did it the liberal way!

this is a silly argument. the fugitive slave act was just a bill, passing it was part of liberal democracy, so the people who passed it were supporting liberalism, like them or not. is that helpful analysis

liberals will rehab literal fascists if they submit the correct forms.

This is what I'm talking about when I saw that Liberalism is culturally Fascistic.

"targeting minorities is okay as long as it's done through the proper channels" go fuck yourself

This is how their bigotry is revealed. If this was a bill about persecuting former Republicans you’d never hear the end of it from this guy because he’d be deathly afraid that he and his buddy Tim were going to the gulag. But since MTG is oppressing trans kids “the right way” she’s ok. Nazi trash

When I see people tweeting about how they tried to like Bluesky and just couldn’t (which is pretty frequent these days) I assume that’s the crushing weight of guilt for propping up a violently misogynistic, white supremacist platform speaking

tell me if you've heard this one before: a billionaire gets upset for being criticized for saying stupid things on social media, then confidentially concludes the problem is most certainly everybody else

Billionaire using assets with tons of unrealized gains as collateral for loans: noooo, it's not fair to tax me on these yet, I don't have access to that full value right now!

White man being high key white supremacist but too stupid to understand it. Many such cases. She has no interest in democracy at all, and her recent actions make that clear. Max thinks she should get a pass because he’s white and she’s white. Simple as that, and more people need to say that

Interviewer: So you still support his agenda fully and completely align on all principles? MTG: Yes Interviewer: But you're saying you don't get invited to as many parties as you used to? MTG: Yes Morons: This is an ally of the pro-democracy movement. We must be grateful for her sacrifice.

Seems rather interesting that a talking point emerged recently that The Online Left doesn’t criticize republicans enough. Quote post unrelated

I wanted to learn about why there's a series of trading cards depicting NFL players as monsters. Then I ended up down a looong rabbit hole. The answer is: It was part of a union-busting campaign!

they keep screaming about it because it will raise a lot of revenue and will be easy to collect

i pay unrealized capital gains all the time except when you're not rich they call them property taxes

You’re right. It’s better to seize all your capital entirely Alexis

very convenient that the rich ruling class techbros solution to income and wealth inequality will be solved by letting them accumulate even more wealth

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

In September 2023, Lilian Weng, then Head of "Safety" at OpenAI, used her public Twitter account to announce how ChatGPT could be used as a therapist, and encouraged users to also use it as such.

Ezra Klein gotta eat too, guys… so judgmental… that’s not so abundance mentality of you, bro…

Is this why so many white people write 5000-pages long scifi/fantasy about how hard, how horrible, how tragic it is to be a soldier/agent of the empire. It's almost a fetish.

I've been ignoring it bc there's only so much secondhand embarrassment I can take but Will Stancil has spent at least a week now attempting to get me personally banned off this website bc he thinks I'm the ringleader of a coordinated leftist harrassment campaign against him. deeply unserious person

If you are "exhausted" then tell both sides you are exhausted. Stop exclusively telling people WHO HAVE HIM BLOCKED to stop "talking about him" when they are talking about him trying to get them banned If it's really about being exhausted, tell both sides to stop exhausting you

im going to say it again. you can just ignore that guy. hes a ludicrous dumbo. nothing he says matters

He likes when the notifications pop up because it makes his pp hard, he admit it

inshallah, we are going to teach the politics nerds actual politics from first principles

Not for nothing, but men using tampons as a joke to dismiss a program as "not serious" is a really classic misogynist trope. We can all see what's happening here.

Literally Will Stancil jerks off to the notifications he gets on his phone after his posts yet another hot take for the day. I’m too tired to come up with a funny joke about it, he is just gooning out to this

“Lemme tell you, I KNOW how to lose races, and this isn’t the way to do it!”

just one more LLM discourse bro and we will whip this website into perfect shape I can do it this time bro I promise okay let’s get started here’s my opening: It Is Inevitable And You Cannot Escape It Just Like Market Capitalism. Why are people mad at me again what did I do wrong bro I don’t unde—
