The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

I feel like Sun Tzu really missed out on "Invent Pete Hegseth and give him to the enemy"

In a just world this fucking drunk racist shithead would be tried and found guilty of endangering troops and punished by hanging in a cage to be pelted by rotten fruit and eggs. It's an insult to life to argue making our military more susceptible to disease would increase readiness.

"Elon Musk cooked his brain online. Marc Andreessen and others seemingly struggled with being in virtual spaces where their ideas and status were challenged, and rewired their political beliefs as a form of cope." Good deep dive into tech broligarchy madness:

Have seen several people point out that Shreveport is Mike Johnson's district but this part of Shreveport is in fact not his district. The city was divided in redistricting a couple years ago to give Mike Johnson more white voters and fewer black voters

Strange aliens say the economy doesn't work for them. Why does it have to work for them? 🤔 There's kind of an implied dehumanization of people who are not seeing positives from an economy whose metrics are defined by the 10% of the population who are on the stock market.

Vibecession discourse carries a hint of "If you say your situation is bad, that's because this economy isn't for you and it's your fault"

Im 44 today my droogs

No movement on this in 3-4 days. :(

Gantetsusai is bae, but I still wouldn't fuck him. #Hellsparadise

Got a weird urge to build with Lego for some reason

Just the public smacking my dysphoria to bits by gendering me as a woman when I'm just slob-moding today

Gantetsusai is bae, but I still wouldn't fuck him. #Hellsparadise

My wife got me 100mg of THC edibles for my birthday <3

This is a crime against humanity.

Clarence Thomas: "Who do these liberals think they are GIVING rights to groups who don't deserve them!? Only GAWD gives them!" Anyone with an ounce of knowledge of US history: "Are you sure that this is the injustice?"

Kripke is the new Oracle of our times.

Had a friend message me yesterday asking about a trans male friend of hers. Both are over 65 and she was worried her friend was taking too much T because of behavioral changes Kind of a weird situation to talk about because there's a stigma around T I find.

“[Progressivism] holds that our rights and our dignities come not from God, but from government,” Ok, hes a troll, but Thomas does not seem to remember that slavery was a government institution of restriction of rights and took a government change to get rid of. abcnews.com/Politics/sup...

I honestly wish I could more appreciate other people's good works and not feel reflexively jealous.

What’s worse is that the ways round it (here, may not work for you) are trivial if you’re rich but incredibly punitive if you’re poor or have unstable employment… …which would both be the outcome of someone driving into you and the injuries impacting your work.

You ever get this, like, NEED to create something, but you feel like the thing cant be done so you're just got a build up of energy that's going no where and you start getting mad or depressed about that? Cause I think thats happening to me.

This is, like, just what the World Government of One Piece believes.

NAACP announced it is suing xAI over its second data center in Memphis, claiming the company is illegally operating 27 gas turbines without a permit

Sure, @realfollowers.bsky.social gimme those digits!

Sorted my thoughts about censorship, so I can stop thinking about it.

"He ran as an economic progressive..." (which NYT has NEVER endorsed) "...and cultural moderate" (which included NOT telling coalition partners "some of you have to accept we'll be like you") NYT literally wanting Kamala Harris campaign, but better economics and more inclusive of Palestinians

“They always spend a lot of time carrying on like, ‘No one's forcing you to pray, these are voluntary,’” says one Department of Labor employee. “But it's happening in the middle of a government workplace.”

If she was earning 11k a year as a doordasher, she'd pay $0 in taxes If she paid 11k in taxes as a doordasher, she'd be earning 90k a year as a doordasher, in fucking arkansas.

Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894. It was literally the "Pizza Party" attempt to stop Laborers from storming and killing their exploitative bosses. The fuck outta here with this "LaBoR ViOlEnCe iS hUrTiNg ThE mOvEmEnT" nonsense

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

You know I knew that Door Dash woman looked familiar

Trump is pissed Doordash grandma isn't as excited about anti-trans stuff as Riley and her handlers told him they would be.

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

"No tax on tips" is the same uninformed opinion as people complaining "going up a tax bracket" means taking home less money than staying lower. That's not how these things work.

Not real but also perfection

You are not a journalist if you are in the same room with JD or Marco and you do not ask them about how they feel about Trump's unprecedented attack on Pope Leo and the administration's on-going war with the Vatican (Hegseth, Colby, JD before, etc.).

Me a person TIRED of the democratic infighting stuff (not necessarily blaming the pod guys) Pod Guys do Rahm Emmanuel: "Ugh not watching that" Pod Bros also do Hasan, "Ugh not watching that but at least the comments will be funny to read"

"I want the Democratic party to treat me like a Never-Trumper" –Hasan Piker

New Heated Rivalry

they didn’t. #AEWDynasty

Release the Blue MAGA kraken!!!

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

Gonna just say, in lieu of WAY too many people I see taking Orban's loss as "This is why you can't have purity tests" Magyar's win is also emblematic of "If your voting coalition needs to be as broad as possible, you don't ask your own voters to 'hold your nose' to vote for them."
