i realise i'm just sitting her yelling at the news but this is such a breathtakingly insulting way of framing this. people are not angry at the *pictures* from Gaza. the pictures show genocide. people are angry about genocide. we're not dogs wagging our tails at pictures of sausages.

“aren’t you tired of being scammed” feels like such a low hanging fruit political message that ties so many problems together right now

i think donald trump not being president in 2024 was the biggest reason for swing/non voters

stephen miller stop taking like sephiroth for five minutes challenge: impossible

the F-35 is a soldier plane. it does impersonal violence at an incredibly long distance & never dogfights. the A-10 is a warrior plane. it destroys tanks with the largest machine gun ever invented, filled with half-pound bullets made of uranium. if the wing goes through the engine it's no big deal.

what the fuck can they even talk about hes not even an interesting fucking guy he goes on college campuses and says shit like "the left loves george floyd but hates clarence thomas. curious"

holy projection batman

vicious anti-corruption and anti-billionaire policies go together well. they also require courage and creativity beyond most elected Dems right now

yes! trump v. united states retroactively says watergate was A-OK

watching some bts prequel stuff and this part was wild

Did Trump win in November because he showed grace and empathy to people who voted for Joe Biden in 2020? Politics is not an Afterschool Special. You put out a strong message about what's wrong, propose a compelling policy agenda, hope the economy cooperates and that's it. None of this mush.

"If your goal is to cement your power, then it’s rational to pardon your most ardent criminal supporters who have been convicted of carrying out violent acts on your behalf. They will be your civilian army."

fuck man, he actually gets it

"And if that causes the majority of the public to want to vote against your party, thwarting their will in the 2026 elections requires forceful intervention in the election process."

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

I mean, this was in fact how Tolkien and his wife conducted their romance.

It should be obvious, but from someone who is aware of the literature: There is no observed link between Tylenol use in pregnancy and autism. But there is significant data on all sorts of bad outcomes if pregnant women don't treat high fevers.

Another example of the same phenomenon; they are killing people so they can make videos of them killing people. There is not actually any policy that Venezuela or Colombia can enact to satisfy them, because the purpose is just content creation. Podcasters with the power of the Federal government.

IN THE USA… Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them? Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… www.cbsnews.com/news/100000-...

WOKE BEN RICE IS WINNING THIS GAME

Yup, this is the flipside: the kids being study were basically all too young to be considering any "irreversible medical intervention" anyway. Maybe a few of the older kids might have very recently started puberty blockers by their last visit, but none of them would've been getting surgeries.

The degree to which you misrepresent the study you're reporting on is astonishing. This graph is from that study: 94.6-98.4% of all youth trans participants turned out to be trans at the end, not 80%. And SEGM, who you quote as an authority here, is an SPLC-recognized anti-trans hate group.

Buried details: the 18% of kids whose identities shifted over the course of the study were overwhelmingly between binary trans and non-binary or vice versa. The number who shifted between binary cis and trans was very low indeed - out of a subset of 254, precisely *one* kid shifted in this way.

Low key the best part of Skyrim is how the rebels are like WE FIGHT FOR THE OLD WAYS TO PRESERVE OUR WAY OF LIFE FROM GAY ELF SHIT LIKE MAGIC AND BOOKS and if you pay literally any attention to the game at all, you notice reactionary Nord culture is a post-Oblivion invention.

it’s all very Year Zero in their heads, except they still haven’t figured out that those people can just get jobs in other countries

This sort of first principles popularism is incredibly stupid

in fairness Trump was banned while the Pelosi-Miley-Pence interim government was in charge but I'm not sure what Biden had to do with it

who was President from 1 Jan 20 until 20 Jan 21 continues to be the defining political question of our time

Holy shit they are just straight up admitting they believe people who express anti-Kirk opinions are in danger of physical violence
