schrodinger's leftists: a coordinated voting bloc simultaneously large enough to upset a national election and also too small to be worth considering when developing positions

Cops and media go the other kind of dumb at the sideshow.

How do you take up four parking spots at once? You believe in yourself.

In this economy?!?

🚨☎️ PLEASE DO THIS RIGHT NOW ☎️🚨 "I am calling to ask the Senator/Congressperson to immediately call for the removal of Trump and to contact Admiral Richard Correll to remind him of his responsibility to refuse illegal orders." 202-224-3121 Took me less than 5 minutes to call all 3. PLEASE.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

(Like, what if you lived in a solidly blue state and were wary of rubber-stamping unconditional support for a genocidal foreign ally? You, too, "didn't vote for this.")

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

Just got back from a quick Southern California trip — spotted this Alyssa Liu mural on Crenshaw Avenue in Gardena, California!

reminder: if you ever see somebody stealing food, no the fuck you didnt.

Very roundabout way to find out that Nico Harrison is the Chicago Sky GM, honestly.

For USC women's basketball, the 2026-27 season is a revenge tour. Book it. 🔥⛹🏽‍♀️⛹🏽‍♀️🔥🏆 #FightOn #JuzzyEraIncoming #SaniyahnaraToYourHopesAndDreams

The slick-haired bastard is just openly antagonizing me at this point. 🤬

I been praying on ucLa's downfall like it was my motherfucking job, so I hate this. I absolutely hate this. Especially after what Dawn was subjected to Friday night. 😮‍💨🤬 #DelayedReactions #UCLAStillSucksDammit #FTFO #ComeBackJuju #SaveUsJuju #TheGameNeedsYouJuju #UCLAIsAntiblackThereISaidIt

HOT TAKE: This would be just as tragic if the son was a churlish C student.

Been annoyed all day that Carla Leite was taken from GSV. A brand new team should not have to be part of an expansion draft the following season. 🏀

i would simply not mess with dawn but perhaps i am built different

Dawn should be allowed one free swing imo

I just think Geno would look a lot prettier if he smiled more

I would be rooting for South Carolina against anyone but USC or one of the local schools, but I'm very pleased with this outcome.

What I appreciate about Geno Auriemma is that he never makes you wait too long (whenever, say, he starts talking or materializes on your TV) before he reminds you why you dislike Geno Auriemma. 🫡

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

There's funnier tweets out there but the perfect buildup to the last minute ridiculous swerve into complete pointlessness is so perfectly my sense of humor that it's nearly supplanted the actual lyrics to this song in my head

Aha! I have found the most perfect source that gives me a new and perfect perspective on the subject. *rubs hands together* This shall be a great boon for the project. Let me add it to my Zotero library. What’s this? The same source already added… in 2022 and 2019 and 2017…

morning

just want to be clear that the supreme court will not be deciding if the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship; the justices are deciding whether or not they want to strip the 14th Amendment of its guarantee of birthright citizenship

The thing with the “transwomen are not banned from competing they can participate in the open and male categories” lines that makes my blood boil is it never considers the practicalities of where and who I’m forced to compete with nor does it even consider my safety! Thats why it’s a defacto ban!

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

read this on your lunch break today! as the AI bubble bursts, let’s keep going in the analog direction and banish the bullshit that de-skills us #bullshitjobs #aislop medium.com/@catesawers/...

Supreme Court legalizes torture.

An underrated addendum to the Bowling Alone story is that North America's largest bowling operator (Bowlero) is a publicly traded company whose business model involves buying mom and pop alleys, shutting down the leagues, and trying to attract casual, higher paying, one-off players.

Begging everybody to not be weird to or about trans people today (and every day). It’s so easy. Just be chill.

yeah, that's kinda how i feel about the country right now, good job

If you’re now fighting to restore the status quo ante bellum in a war you began, you lost the war

Either this is the work of a rube or a someone grubbing for engagement, neither of which describes "credible journalism." #ItsMutinTime

This is incredibly irresponsible journalism. You cannot write this headline without acknowledging all the times Elon Musk has promised to pay for things, then didn't. Let's take a stroll down memory lane. 🧵

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

I don't really feel like the press coverage of the metaverse implosion honestly captures the access tech press' role in propping up Mark Zuckerberg's fake innovation mythology if you go back and read "journalism" from this era, 97% was indistinguishable from advertorial

i love when people get annoyed by me and they default to acting like they cannot understand anything i say because they need to disagree with it on principle (to affirm their annoyance as rooted in reason) but i’m not saying anything they’d reasonably disagree with lol

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/
