My pithy comment: the difference between the Democratic Socialists winning and the Tea Party winning is that the press gave favourable coverage to the Tea Party

Sex workers or an extremely successful traffic calming campaign by a creative guerilla urbanism group?

thanks but I'm a grown adult and am allowed to know what death is

Gonna piss people off with this take but: I don't see the strategy for Dems who bring this up. Trump is not (whatever he says) running for re-election. You are running against Vance or Rubio in 2028. Voters think "old president" and say "oh like the zombie you pretended could serve until age 87?"

George Smiley's age revealed in new Le Carré:

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

Why go through the trouble of building something as whimsical as a dune buggy but paint it beige?

Everyone who isn’t a policy wonk is stupid is indeed a common opinion on this website

found this guy on Tiktok who has discovered carpenter's speed squares make an insanely satisfying noise when you bounce them off tires or wood, called @lostcoastedc on there

so would you close 9/10ths of stations or would you put a fully-staffed TSA metal detector station in lordsburg, NM (served 3x per week)

As a former pack-a-day smoker, do not bring back indoor smoking. When I smoked I had no idea how bad it was to smoke around people who weren’t also smoking. Like on the STREET it sucks. Don’t do this to other people

Has anyone in the cultural partnership ever visited a park in another city? Balboa has a few nice looking buildings, but it's an absolute joke & embarrassment how much of has already been paved over for cars.

The San Diego Velodrome has begun hosting bike races that exclude transgender women. This is despite a city policy prohibiting anti-trans discrimination at the racetrack. One trans racer told me the change made her feel “disposable.” Been working on this for a while, give it a read and share!

I feel like my entire life has been spent watching people saying this tagging off with people saying that we can't build infrastructure until there is the ridership to support it. Whatever it takes to get to "no" I guess.

This is why you don’t have universal healthcare. It’s not fucking NASA.

An EXCITING announcement for the snack loving people of Ecuador! Ecua-tizers has been announced as the tenth TIZER in the International Order of Tizers. Feliz Picoteo!!

All this antirail stuff suddenly getting traction based around tunneling under rich people at the behest of democratic politicians along with an organized effort to demonize income taxes really feels a little too coordinated

Cars are a huge liability for neighborhoods. One car breaks down and chaos is unleashed for miles. Insanity.

The Kennedy center board of trustees look like theyre about to give Dick Tracy a real hard time…

You have been visited by the Reverse 3/4 Beavis RT to share good luck, ignore to keep it all to yourself

the mild manners are job security, baby www.noncanon.com/comics/2026-...

Gaby Del Valle is a great journalist with righteous politics, and the way this website is treating her for her completely fair reporting on Minneapolis is the reason why it's constantly hemorrhaging users, will never be relevant, and is seen as a joke across progressive media and activist circles.

The IEEE has announced that their "Year of the Linux Desktop" clock is at 40 seconds to midnight.

shes right, it was my idea to have kamala enlist The Cheney Clan to go on a human entrail spreading spree

Scott Adams is the Dave Sim of Jim Davises.

Dems: Mamdani is too radical for our taste. Plus someone said he's antisemitic. And that name is scary to us! We need to keep him out. Dems, 1 week later: Look lots of people have tattoos like that Dems, 2 weeks later: Marjorie Taylor Greene, welcome to the Tent

For real, check this out. Evil.

I need to learn how to edit videos so I can add the Fall of Civilizations theme to the end of contemporary news clips. youtu.be/qRYdivPIWh4?...

If your doctor’s office has a tv on in the waiting room they should waive your copay.

And this is what they call “the ole Chappaquiddick Farewell” in the Kennedy family, dude couldn’t help it, it’s in his blood.

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

I entirely forgot that I made this anti-ASMR video (Sound warning headphones users)

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

I think “The Smashing Machine” should have been a title for a Wallace and Gromit film instead.

How did he "are we the baddies?" sketch become the foundational text for analyzing 21st century politics?

The Supreme Court is going to overturn this with a ruling that makes it illegal to look directly at a federal agent's face.

"Good luck whoever is to my right!" is a pretty good summary of the collected works of Mao Zedong.

Richard Harris *is* Rob Reiner *as* Michael Stivic *in* CAMELOT IN THE FAMILY! Starring Bea Arthur as Morgan le Fay and Sherman Hemsley as Merlyn!

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

There must be some way to use this guy to make the "lesser of two evils" people understand the problem. When Sir Keith gets booted from office, all his advisors are going to come over here and guide Gavin Newsom along the same path and it will suck.

happy labor day

SCOOP: i made a notes app list featuring a new blacklist of words dems shouldn’t use
