lmao guy has an MO

I do not like that LLMs are turning folks in our coalition into IP zealots.

Bye-bye Mayor Cop, a piece of shit loser who sacrificed your neighbors to ICE so he could spare himself the prison term he deserves. He leaves behind a legacy of closed libraries, escalating unaffordability, off-the-charts police corruption. An oleaginous creep only liberal pundits could respect.

The original source for Xi = Pooh is hilarious. "Why is Winnie the Pooh banned in China?"

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Come to Tony. Come to Tony! Come to Tony.

He’s an apparent criminal who sold out the city in a rancid deal with the Trump DOJ that was so corrupt the only way out was to dismiss the charges against him.

Yes. I have been looking into a similar dynamic in Florida. A big part of the problem is it's evil manipulation—normie people can't imagine anyone would actually operate like this, that well-dressed well-coiffed respectable leaders of politics and industry are actually manipulating them so well.

We don't yet know that he didn't get some secret promise or payoff to benefit him or his cronies. So to your point, yes, he dropped out the same way he's been mayor.

I love how Adams dropped out with just over a month to go, his name still on the ballot, and with no coalition or support to offer the other candidates, so it’s effectively useless. He ran for mayor the same way he’s been mayor. I hope he’s brought up on state charges.

i took a stab at editing ezra klein’s most recent comments about trans people and electoral politics to make a point often lost by the american liberal commentariat

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

Do not bow down to these people. Do not allow them to convince you that you must. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

There are many leftist podcasters who have “reached” young men and it’s pretty stunning to see Gavin Newsom never felt the need to reach out or talk to a single one of them and instead continues heaping praise on a white supremacist

JD Vance is this whole guy

I for one love that in 2025 The Gays are so accepted that one of us can be a horrible member of a despicable Republican administration and it's a non-issue.

JD Vance: 👇

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

As many have correctly noted, this shit pales in comparison to the numerous crimes the administration has been and will continue to perpetrate. That said, fascism thrives on momentum and a sense of inevitability, so embarrassing public losses matter.

People on here love to hate on GenAI but you can just order this up

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

Americans will literally appropriate an entire arcane mystical symbology of divine emanations rather than use the metric system.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

One thing that gives me some semblance of hope in this seemingly hopeless political moment is that all of these assholes are the stupidest motherfuckers imaginable.

I also found an answer when I wasn't looking— burning-building disaster-psychology explains the mentality: Normalcy bias. The brain is highly biased in favor of thinking a disaster is not occurring, and rationalizing things to justify that bias.

Joseph Weizenbaum said “The myth of technological and political and social inevitability is a powerful tranquilizer of the conscience. Its service is to remove responsibility from the shoulders of everyone who truly believes in it. But in fact there are actors”

This week's comic, inspired by a study showing that AI summaries on top of search results are dramatically cutting traffic to websites.

Maybe there's a compromise? I'm 100% Team Grant—but Grant is *even more impressive* when you realize Lee was truely excellent on the tactical level. North Anna inverted-V was technically perfect for the river/ terrain/ situation—now see it on stragety map. In the end: It. Did. Not. Matter.

many professional political observers are closet or open trump supporters - when he fails or stumbles, as he frequently does, they cover for him and insert a fake, fictional trump into their stories that's doing smart stuff for normal reasons.

this is a very classic case of a common phenomenon in authoritarian states; somebody who fears they can't rise through talent latching onto the leader and snitching on others in order to progress their career. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/a...

There will absolutely be a bunch of conservative legal takes that “actually the President can fire Fed members for cause and he gets to decide what cause is” with the implication being that central bank independence was a century-old fiction that only Trump was smart enough to figure out.
