Every once in a while you hit the Rosetta stone of American politics and yeah this is about 60%-70% of American gender politics in one post Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Describing all positive change as illiberal can only go well for liberals, a real winning strategy.

“Being against a Nazi helps our enemies” is a statement that should make you reconsider your life

(in the seventh month of defending a candidate who has slowly revealed himself to be a werewolf) so actually I think most guys get worse under the full moon

This thing speaks to me on a spiritual level.

If the 60 Minutes thing is proving anything it’s that a lot of people in positions of power think there is no crime greater, no injustice more profound, than being called out for being incompetent when you’re clearly fucking incompetent

The world's moistest vampire.

Turning myself into a meatball; the ideal centrist shape.

Is it possible to revoke someone's all-star award? Asking for a Chet Holmgren (and Jalen Duren)

The wind is howling in the hollow ruins of Chet's confidence. Small animals are nesting there.

omg

It's such a faithful adaptation of the D&D experience that they even captured the difficulty of keeping a campaign going.

YMMV

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

I would like AOC to run for three reasons: 1. I think the D candidate in 2028 is strongly favored to win regardless of who it is 2. We need to elect someone who understands the moment and is committed to a new reconstruction 3. Of all plausible candidates I am most convinced AOC meets that bar

I do think people are sometimes too hard on AI as a technology because it does have utility but the thing about that is whatever blame exists doesn’t rest on the people pissed off about AI it rests with the tech people who were like lol this is going to take your job lol

watching the chuds turn literally everything into Gender at all times is so exhausting and stupid figuring out that You Don't Have To Do That is, I believe, the single most helpful realization a young man can make, it's such an enormous life improvement to just embrace what you actually like

will they write an equivalent "James Talarico attacked Ken Paxton for releasing a child rapist, putting release of pedophiles front and center in the race" piece or do they only amplify GOP attacks for some reason?

Friendly reminder that NPR has been fucking the dog with shit like this for awhile. No different than anyone else in the toilet for Trump, even though he's been coming for their funding. People need to be clear headed about this shit. Same as the other captured media

You can just block 😉

If Kamala was so "right about everything" and really meant it when she "warned us" over and over, why didn't she take the Most Important Election Of Our Lives seriously? Why didn't she run a good progressive campaign instead of a terrible center-right campaign? Is she stupid or something?

Broke lupine alert.

Seems like it’s US imperialism as usual Arguments like this would make any sense if 1) the us weren’t always like this 2) people were rioting about the Epstein files. They are not

as much as i appreciate the democrats responding with vigor for once, the fact that republicans are using "transgender" as a slur for a political candidate is fucking horrifying and dems need to quickly figure out a way to address it head on. calling stephen miller ugly isn't a long-term fix.

Western Interior Seaway, my beloved.

Talking is inherently problematic, and we should stop doing it.

Time for a bad baseball metaphor: The US media are terrified of swinging outside their zone (getting it wrong) so they don't swing, even on balls that are thrown right down the middle, seemingly forgetting that not swinging on balls (failing to report obvious truths) also count as strikes.

"Did you finish painting the Princess Diana plate?" "Yes, boss; I painted her by memory, just like you asked."

I like to imagine there's a Daoist immortal living somewhere remote, starting his 200th read of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The idea of winning votes by running candidates that appeal to bigotry is so obviously wrong-headed. A voter who is going to make their bigotry the priority is just going to vote for the most bigoted candidate. You win by differentiation, not by being the weaker version of an existing flavor.

I left Twitter because my threads documenting the history of fascism in the US started doing numbers w/ contemporary US fascists who thought their predecessors were cool, & who would call me a dirty Jew and send death threats when I pushed back. Sorry to Corey that I want to avoid such “engagement.”

not going to get into it via QT but the moment you think "If you curate right you only see some nazi shit on that site" is a good argument, your brain is already so cooked by hanging out with nazis that you no longer even understand what sentences addressed to normal people should sound like

This is where Umas with bad sparks go, btw.

If our pronouns can't be used as weapons, why are these guys so scared of them?

Explaining military casualties to an American: Okay, so imagine a Hamburger...

This is just how normal people talk in 90% of internet horror, and it always cracks me up. Like yeah, sure, I'd love to visit Mystery Flesh Pit National Park, why do you ask?

WASHINGTON—In the latest of a series of escalations in President Donald Trump’s highly publicized war on “woke,” the U.S. Department of Justice reportedly removed all mentions of justice from its website Friday.

Everyone in charge loves to say this is "new." New technology they can't keep up with. Nothing about this is new, except that there's no longer anyone to victim blame. www.404media.co/radnor-high-...

Go team thirty to fifty feral (mutant) hogs!

you know how badly you have to fuck up to throw a WORLD CUP and have nobody come?

I’m sorry I only accept Taylor Lorenz-initiated discourses if she’s posting them on here. we must to stop relying on imported discourses from hostile foreign powers like X Dot Com to fuel our posting wars, as a matter of Bluesky national security and poster sovereignty

Thankfully problems can't hurt you if you don't acknowledge them. Everyone knows that.

The children yearn for the mines; the tech writers yearn for the lobotomy table.

Wemby, what is you doing?
