had to do it

And I must reply with this. (Any excuse to repost it again & I have at least one follower who says it's like the Tom Holland Umbrella vid for them and I feel that.)

I’ve always thought that the load bearing wall of right wing ideologies is misogyny and wrote about it here www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/o...

Ngl I wouldn't be mad about it

You claim you’re against racism but have you ever considered your own form of racism you constantly direct at me? The racism against arrogant dickheads?

Like TAH, I also grew up in predominantly white central Pennsylvania, and I think the distinctive nature of Western PA/Eastern Ohio's racialized populism explains a lot about his approach to the discourse. This is the same regional culture that produced Fetterman, DeSantis, JD Vance, and Ron Paul.

The smallest, most soulless creature to ever be over-stuffed into a human form has thoughts about quality television. With a world and nation in disarray and requiring remedy, the President of the United States feels the need to opine on this passionately. Our republic is so debased.

Miller Lite? Seriously? When Miller High Life is right there? Cmon dude

Ken Martin claimed that “there was no smoking gun” in the DNC autopsy report. No, Ken, the autopsy report WAS the smoking gun. If the best a political party could muster is a document so incompetently produced that it lacked a conclusion, it proves the party’s leadership was the problem!

I know I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but did he mean "antidote"?

they feed us poisson

lmao, imagine quitting your job as an environmental humanities professor at a fancy liberal arts college to write faux contrarian takes about Miller Lite

Abrego García should apply for the “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” How many other people have a district court ruling actually *finding* vindictive prosecution?

It took several people dunking on this idiot to remind me that he is a STAFF WRITER AT THE ATLANTIC

Protect women’s sports* * By adequately funding them

They murdered this girl, just like they hoped to. The people backing these laws have made it clear: they want the penalty for being trans to be death.

Folks are misunderstanding what’s happening in Iran at a fundamental level. It boils down to the fact that Iran’s leadership thinks they’re winning. They think they can hold out longer than Trump will fight. That’s why they’re refusing to negotiate on the nuclear issue.

The Marketplace of Ideas people immediately forcefully shut down all dissent, bought all media, sued & fired all critics & arrested & caged journalists reporting on their heinousness as soon as they got control & all of this was entirely predictable & people who warned of it were called overreactors

If you’re going to produce drivel with language that feels like the reader must whack through jungle to understand your worthless, yet condescending, point, maybe don’t confuse “anecdote” and “antidote.”

The thing about using masculinity as a measure of authenticity and worthiness is that it’s a continually receding horizon that requires the supplicant to continually pursue more and more ridiculous efforts to prove themselves, e.g. “I drink the big man drink of the working class.”

Just want to be clear here. I’m never shocked when a white pro athlete has right wing politics. I’m only pointing out that they have dozens of black teammates, many of whom are horrified by things the president has said and done. That’s all.

For those of you already missing Stephen Colbert, he's resurfaced on community public access in Monroe, Michigan, and no, I am not joking: youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4

I don't think Polis is getting played.

They’ve destroyed the freedoms and dignities of the American republic we all enjoyed for the last 50 years. We’ll have to build something new in its place. And we’ll have to be willing to expand the court, add states, and send people to jail as part of that. www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-ne...

someone should project a real time slide show of trump’s online posting at don jrs wedding

According to this, consumer sentiment is lower than 1980, a year that consumer sentiment was so low that Americans abandoned the New Deal for Voodoo Economics (aka trickle-down, aka Reaganomics aka Neoliberalism, profit over people).

Wrote about “blue dot fever" -- tours being canceled or scaled back amid sluggish ticket sales. “This is a problem of LiveNation’s doing, and it’s no surprise to me that they’re trying to downplay it,” said Paul Booth, a professor of media and pop culture at DePaul University.

how do klingons decide if it's a good day to die

the average TERF origin story is indistinguishable from a psychological break from reality

An extraordinary rebuke of Todd Blanche and his Justice Department. Federal judge dismisses the indictment of Abrego Garcia (an exceedingly rare outcome in a criminal case). Finding of vindictive prosecution and "an abuse of prosecuting power." The opinion name checks Blanche nearly 30 times.

Ex Trump White House Attorney Ty Cobb on Trump’s $1.776 BILLION Seditionist Slush Fund: “Todd Blanche sold his soul… this is really just a criminal conspiracy to steal money from the taxpayers."

I think Democrats should come out and say Blanche's "settlement" and the Slush Fund generally is one act in a continuing January 6 conspiracy, extending statutes of limitation for another 3 years.

This is a Bluesky peeps appreciation post ahead of a long weekend. People here have donated 100s of thousands of dollars to various causes I've shared here. Others have volunteered to make graphics for organizing campaigns. Others have made crafts to raise funds. People have donated books.

No one at the DNC has the courage to acknowledge this, but Harris erred by not ending global inflation and post-COVID trauma during her campaign

“Because the presumption of vindictiveness remains unrebutted, the indictment must be dismissed,” Judge Waverly Crenshaw wrote.

A consequence? In my United States? It’s more possible than you think!

I bet he’d go to the ballroom’s wedding.

Oh, no big deal, just hanging out with MY BUDDY PAUL. Holy cow, the Colbert wrap party was the most insane gathering of friends and heroes that I’ve ever experienced in my life. Much love to Stephen and his entire amazing crew, and wishing them the best in whatever their next adventure happens to be

Al I hate to break this to you but that's Hillary Clinton

When I saw this post I assumed it was hyperbole or at least inference. But nah.

🎶I’ve seen this show before & I really liked the ending🎶

is she on a plane to russia already or will she hold off until after the holiday weekend

got into this a long time ago theweek.com/articles/534...

Stewart is an anti-politics progressive in the old sense of the Progressive Era, Colbert is a New Deal liberal. simple as

You gave any thoughts on this @durbin.senate.gov ?

I know there’s a ton World Cup tourism failure stories, but one thing that probably plays a bigger role than fascist bullshit is how FIFA expanded the tournament and how large North America is. Both in terms of time and distance, foreigners coming to cheer their teams is an unprecedented commitment.

Reality bath from @gelliottmorris.com: Given Biden approval rating & inflation/consumer sentiment, "the surprise of the [2024] election is that Harris did as well as she did...the Dem nominee was on track to lose the popular vote by 4 points. She lost by 1.5." www.gelliottmorris.com/p/the-dnc-au...
