Oh wow Trump the (civilly) guilty rapist might be a rapist? No way

more and more people are saying that radical social democracy with RAND corporation characteristics is the wave of the future

Turns out they don’t care about gas prices or having the illegal tariff money stolen either

Haha eat it you machine minds! I'm "Ground maintenance, Construction, and Installation & repair!"

I’m a Costco-Vanguard progressive (Ie, what rules / incentives can we put in place to get more companies to behave like those two)

Can we stop with the failson stuff, I’m just a person experiencing failure to suceed

the future is locked in and Trump's rearguard actions will fail after doing untold harm

This plus a hot summer pretty much leads to Cool Zone in November

Anytime something bad happens remember: a liberal did it. Prison is the same as slavery and a liberal did it. Obama invaded Iran. Hillary Clinton overturned Roe.

Paternal grandfather was a clerk at HUD, maternal grandfather worked at the Navy Yards and then either the Archdiocese or the Mob depending on who you believe

The PAC—or PMC, or mass intelligentsia, however you want to call it—is under proletarianizing pressures, is intertwined with the complex systems of modernity that are under assault from the right, and benefit heavily from an expansive social democratic state. Why wouldn't we be socialists?

Philly cheesesteakes are mid, there are at least three or four kinds of cart/corner store foods that are better

Clearly my ideas are being rejected simply because I'm unpleasant and treat people unfairly but I'm sure a lesser mind with a sweeter personality will take them up some day and I'll be right all along

Claude is great at citations and outlining

You can also by a triadist like Perice but I wouldn't recommend it

Iftar, Day 13

Continually mad Dad didn't get that Irish passport like his dumb brother

Wow this might effect my life as well (partner has Canadian ancestry)

Yeah you could say I’m a bit of a renaissance man (bad teeth, bad eyes, drinks, reads like three books one of which is a bad translation of the Bible)

When It happens Vance won't be able to hold on either. The Administration will pancake down to like Undersecretary for Corn Tourism

If you ask Gemini or Claude if they have semantics they instantly say no

I just reposted something to this effect but it's pretty amazing that Bouie is just 1. one of the best public intellectuals today and 2. rigorous about his conduct online, and it makes people freak out, they're so angry

Thanks, Claude!

One thing about Jamelle is that he absolutely drives a lot of his peers crazy because he’s better at his job than they are at theirs. I think the reasons for that are not hard to figure out.

Logging on here

A fallen warria of world. And really, terra

Like, I can’t even understand what these replies are supposed to mean

The kids (Blusky) can’t read

seeing some “Talarico is antisemitic“ discourse on here

The Affective Turn (Devotio Moderna)

Gemini is kind of crap also

I’ll be honest with you I didn’t know there were two opposed camps of ironically named lib-left accounts on here and now I do but I’ll be darned if I can remember which is which

The Girondin/Union Army AVI accounts are all Dems just stop it

Seriously what the fuck is going on here, this is easy to look up and see is wrong

Sometimes I forget how many other towns are now as insanely expensive to live as the Bay, it used to be NYC now it’s like… you can’t even list them it’s like twenty places

its the meme with the guy and his mom and she’s like did you work out a new theory of AI mind? And he’s like yes and she’s like are you sure it’s not just “human beings are really computers” and he pulls that sad face

It is time to permanently lose respect for a lot of people, mostly Republican voters but also people who need in their heart for Republican voters to somehow not be Republican voters

Arguments within English Platonism

I think you should all be more normal about Jamelle Bouie.

Having intrusive thoughts about how similar are NextDoor posts, Yelp! reviews, and the comments sections of politics accounts and platforms

So tired of main character tragedies, why not cathect our fear and pity onto someone we don't care about, someone with no particular virtues or qualities

Politics as savvy but rude customer vs politics as sports idiot

He’s learned the old Trump two-step

A whole generation of radicals who decided Trump and Harris were basically the same because Dems are uncool

Journalists proving the point that journalists are frequently narcissistic bullys

It's like Fermilab if Fermilab's mission were to find new and innovative ways to be weird to Jamelle Bouie

Jamelle is right. I've spent years writing about the Hungary-US parallels, and this is one of the key areas where the US has more points of democratic resilience

Liberals, amirite? Liberals, right? Liberals “gonna lib.” It’s liberals’ fault! Can’t the liberals do it? Shitlibs!

no, *you* shut the fuck up
