Genuinely did not know this.

So the candidate who left school at 16 with no A-Levels and who's spent her whole adult life vocational, manual jobs beat the ivory tower academic turned cushy media pundit, but you can be sure we'll still get plenty more casual description of the latter as "white working class".

Something I've been thinking about is why this particular video really blew these guys up vs their (quite well-made) music videos that if anything better show off their visual aesthetic youtu.be/7IrODUjl70U?...

Counterpoint: watching Emerald Fennel’s WUTHERING HEIGHTS with Adrian felt like I was enduring a six-minute sex montage while sitting next to my dad.

What the fuck even is the Platner coalition? There’s no coherent ideological through-line. You have Obama staffer resist libs, you have Bernie and other leftists, you have the king of the graboids even though Platner is moderate on guns

I think we can do both, condemn it, also not think the sky is falling. There's a market for actual news and there's the maga market. Audiences aren't locked into channels. In terms of cable demise Skydance/WB also just seems like a bad deal in biz terms. Indy media will make gains.

My thoughts as well. I understand the concern re Orbanization. However, the US media landscape has already shattered into fragments and imho independent media will only become more robust. (1/2)

'Matt Goodwin said: “I don’t think the progressives beat us, I think the progressives were told how to vote.” He said it was “a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives that came together to dominate the constituency”.' Loony Fartagist bollox from a prize loon.

Absolute trouncing. If Labour doesn’t send Starmer packing soon they are as dead as the Tories.

Can anyone recommend good accounts for following the Pakistan/Afghanistan situation?

🔥This is fine.🔥

If our leaders lack the will to even fire these men, much less bring charges, then people who have lost all hope in a peaceful solution will start solving the problem on their own. No one wants that.

The only consistencies in his views are a reflexive desire to discipline the left, serving power, and a veneer of technocratic objectivity. He would've ended up as a LessWrong/FHI guy if his life went slightly differently.

What if the whole private army terror state thing just doesn't work out because they completely blow thru their budget in really stupid ways?

"Horseshoe theory isn't real" which is why this account is reposting stuff from an Infowars guy and also reposts stuff from MintPress News

the consolidation of major media institutions by the president’s oligarch friends is obviously bad, but i do wonder about the ultimate impact. it is clear that trump and his allies believe that you can buy up media and pull an orban or a putin. but…

Look, not to say I knew it, but I knew it, and so should you (have known it)

If we lived in funnier times this would actually be a veiled threat telling the Catholics on the bench to strike down the eo or risk excommunication.

I agree. Democratic politicians don't speak like human beings. They give off squirrellyness like a stink. Their spokespeople suffer from a soft bigotry of low expectations. It has to stop. "Leaders" who can only criticize fascism in passive voice harm democracy. coreyrobin.com/2026/02/26/o...

MEETING AT THE PATRIARCHY HQ A FEW YEARS AGO: The King of Sexism: Society is getting too feminized. Any ideas how to stop this? Wormtongue looking fantasy adviser: I suggest we make young men get eating disorders and body dysmorphia from their favorite celebrities. The King of Sexism: Genius.

Currently tearing my hair out because I adopted an urgent rent need for a family that needs to pay $3050 RIGHT MEOW to stay out of eviction court and then I got an urgent request from another rent fund and there’s $320 left in my Venmo account. So much need and I wish I could be everywhere at once 😭

There's no replicating this. Trump is a New York socialite before anything else, and thus the Mayor of New York is the only politician in the country he actually cares about.

This is what I mean. I really think we're gonna be okay if we don't have CNN.

Conservative Evangelicals: We are literally openly planning on starting an apocalyptic war in the Middle East on behalf of Israel in order to kick off the no-shit end of the world. The Internet: You know who I don't trust? Jews. The YouTube Man said they're stinky.

I think it should trouble everyone that Trump is trying to use AI to mass surveil Americans and autonomously target people with killing machines using an AI model. I’m glad Anthropic is refusing. But now we will see if the Pentagon engages in ending the company or a takeover.

My latest: More election deniers may be involved with this proposed "national emergency" elections executive order. QAnon figure Juan O. Savin has said his “team … wrote up” a “17-page document” which it “provided to the president last spring” & that Trump is “going to use … 80, 85, 90%” of it.

This really feels like an Orban/Erdogan situation in which the aspiring dictator is making sure his friendly oligarchs control as much media as possible www.cnbc.com/2026/02/26/w...

It is goddamn amazing that Mamdani not only became exactly the mayor he said he would be, but is also seamlessly playing the Trump whisperer/Trump lightning rod role that Coumo was selling himself as the best man for.

Fascinating

As a sidenote, most if not all of the U.S. Catholic Bishops' reasoning in their amicus brief to SCOTUS defending birthright citizenship on the basis of inherent, inalienable human dignity and unfettered participation in one's local political community, also applies de facto to trans people in Kansas

"For policies to affect politics, voters need to be able to trace them back to the responsible political actors, which is challenging in a complex information environment." in other words: you have to do the thing, but you have to message the thing too www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

First off, yes this is real. And jokes about TYT aside, the case of Ana Kasparian illustrates perfectly how effective transphobia is at pipelining people into the broader far-right ecosystem. It might be the ultimate reactionary gateway drug.

personalist regimes!

of the two articles currently circulating about Sheri’s Ranch which feature Jupiter Jetson, this one is way more worth your time. there is a fascinating and important story in the unfolding workers’ rights movement in Nevada’s legal brothels that will resonate with anyone who’s been a contractor

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment. If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

HAPPENING NOW: Good morning from the federal courthouse in Nashville, Tennessee. A federal judge is set to preside over an evidentiary hearing on whether the United States government is vindictively prosecuting Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I'm here for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along ⬇️⬇️⬇️

The “president” of Columbia who released the news is Claire Shipman, whose only qualifications to run Columbia include - being the wknd reporter of Good Morning America - being a blatant Zionist - being close to the Trump admin - overseeing Columbia paying $200,000,000 to the Trump DOJ

It's incredible that from the moment Roger Stone created an organization called "Stop the Steal" in 2016 (not a typo), the GOP strategy to use propagandistic lies to justify stealing elections has been carried out in plain sight. It's the most transparent ploy imaginable, and it might work.

Lauren Boebert should not be in charge of anything or anyone, but she's so high-school coded that I have a hard time staying mad at her She's giving over-the-pants handies at a school assembly. She's texting photos during class. She's dating some weird 22-year-old she met at a bowling ally

If I were a betting man, I'd say he has no idea idea who Peters is, but that is its own problem. The most charitable read on Platner is still that he's an absolute dumbshit with horrible judgement which is...yea.
