A lot of people's moods on here would benefit greatly from simply muting the Hakeem Jeffries account.

Ball don't lie

Stay well hydrated. Gout sucks ass.

🎉 BOOM: House & Senate Dems introduce THEIR budget bill to avoid a shutdown, and I'm happy to say... acasignups.net/25/09/18/boo...

Ezra Klein taking time over the weekend to think about his friends' concerns about him whitewashing Charlie Kirk

I know that ad hominem is technically a logical fallacy, but it’s also an excellent shorthand for filtering out the worst people and saving yourself time and energy. If the worst person you know has an excellent point to make, it’s probably also been made by someone kinder and more intelligent.

Stop giving money to the Washington Post. Any money.

Very excited for when Democrats heed everyone's advice and stop saying that Trump does things as a distraction and instantly get savaged for not talking about Epstein anymore.

There's nothing Third Way wants more than people to actually treat them as Democratic taste makers & strategists. But I'm simply not convinced that they actually are either so much as a bunch of people on the outs w/every major Dem faction promising victory if people remade the party in their image.

A periodic reminder: Third Way do not matter and are nobodies who are desperately trying to turn themselves into kingmakers despite no actual evidence anyone pays particular attention to them

i was watching a 24/7 live stream of my child's summer hate camp, as one does, to make sure she's not being taught to value human life or showing any signs of non-conforming behavior. and then, separate from that, my daughter was traumatized. she's gonna grow up all weird now, from seeing a glider

The only thing more obnoxious than NYC chauvinism is anti-NYC chauvinism.

“oh, you don’t care about crime?” no, no i do not, most major cities are experiencing historic drops in violent crime, no one raising this issue is doing so in good faith and they don’t deserve to be treated with any

Billionaire with 1.4M followers: "Dems can't sell their policies" Also billionaire with 1.4M followers "You think Dems can enact policies the people want? I'm here to tell you you're wrong, dummy. They're useless."

Americans think driving is a game, you win if you speed and don’t get caught.

Well since you can't beat 'em, it seems, MAKE A NEW BC FLAG! (I should honestly get this made, but by someone better at drawing than I am.)

“Scumbag” is a protected class now

Sad news be damned. It does still feel so good.

The best chef in Canada is annually awarded le Gordon Bleu

This is exactly what the internet is for.

Another productive day of people pretending they want Hakeem Jeffries leading them into battle on bluesky.

Stop giving money to the New York Times. Any money.

republicans: we are voting no on this dangerous bill that will kill many of our constituents donald trump: what if i give you free hats republicans: we are voting yes on this beautiful bill that will kill many of our constituents

“Opposition” parties are by definition not in power. That was decided by the election. This is the result. Dems up and down the ballot have condemned this bill, publicly, a lot.

Almost forgot what day it is.

it should be an unspoken rule in seattle (greater puget sound area in general) that when the weather hits 80 you no longer have to work there are more important activities. like paddling and lounging.

Murray: This bill polls like garbage because it is garbage. That's why it should go nowhere except a trash bin

I'm a 58-year-old retired roofer from Zanesville, OH who has no relationship with his children and has been banned from 4 separate Chili's locations for berating staff, and I have deep concerns about the Democratic candidate for mayor of New York City, a place I have never been.

Love spending the morning being lectured by Canadians who can't spell "isreal" about what happened in our elections.

The certainty that some people on here have that Congressional Dems as a whole think it's a great fucking idea to get into a shooting war with Iran is fascinating.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Delivered a pizza to Dave Matthews at his house. He was a pretty good tipper.

Do not give another cent to the Washington Post or any of Jeff Bezos' enterprises. Ever.

There are lots of inputs to the media environment and social isn’t all of them. But it’s not none of them either. One of the ways we lose the messaging war is the widespread inability everywhere from centrists leftwards to take the Ws when we see them

guys will be like "these people are ruining america" and it'll be a picture of the coolest guys ever

A Cybertruck just stopped to let me turn onto a busy street from a driveway, and I'm furious right now. Don't give Cybertrucks a good name, you prick.

"this is shit"- bad "this shit rips"- good "this is ass"- bad "this rips ass"- bad? "this shit rips ass"- unclear "this ass rips shit"- no

Really doesn't seem hard to do this instead of being an absolute ghoul.

Any "journalist" who are 100% certain that Joe Biden was senile a year ago and that people who disagree have to be lying should never work another day in their lives.

Every Bluesky commenter who spends a lot of time with their head up their ass will naturally have Opinions about Prostate Cancer.

It’s okay for people to have a different top priority than you do politically as long as we’re generally on the same side. It’s okay for someone’s #1 issue to be pedestrian safety, yours to be trans rights, another person’s to be mental health and so on. We’re on the same team.

What is Triangle Man's fucking problem?

Before we spend any more time debating "defund the police", we need to decide definitively what the proponents mean by it.

People are coming to the in-flight conversation debate with their hackles up because the original skeet is worded so aggressively. If it was written by a normal person—“hey, I miss having conversations on planes. Am I the only one?”—it would have maybe sparked a small and thoughtful conversation.

What is Goddell wearing?

I feel like there's a lot of arguing past each other going on around here where the subtext is "does anyone agree with Matt Yglesias and Gavin Newsom?", and I'm pretty sure we all agree that they suck and are always wrong.

Can't believe Jorts is ratfucking foreign elections. What is going on?
