Ok so I admit I did not foresee Helena as the leader of a breakaway republic but you play with the team you got

are y'all actually going to make me have to read this silly Rockhill book

Wow. Chaos on the Tennessee House floor. Tennesseans yelling in the gallery and Democrats locking arms in one final stand, as Republicans vote to advance new congressional maps that will carve up the state’s only majority-Black congressional district.

Don't particularly blame anybody (like what is the ✌️productive✌️ response to ~unto dust shalt thou return~?) but gotta say a lot of the reactions I'm seeing to the long-term projections for the city are hovering somewhere between denial and cope

tapping the sign

really cannot emphasize enough how good of an idea this is lol

Uhhhhhhhh

Trust me, you'll want to give this a read:

uh

are you interested in "macro data" or are you interested in authoritative-looking charts that you can wave around to confirm your priors and justify your capitulation to a shitty system

You might think liberalism is trapped at the End of History, intellectually and morally bankrupt, completely bereft of ideas and incapable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century. but have you considered... ✨ Cold War 2 ✨ ???

[me, to the pack of rabid dogs devouring my legs]: it would only take One of you to make the Right Choice for Our Nation 😢

Since Geno is making news for all the wrong reasons, here’s an article that I wrote a decade ago about the GOAT Pat Summitt & what she meant for queer Black women. www.jezebel.com/pat-summitt-...

you know, I was on here the other day arguing that Israel and the US were acting with a certain *type* of rationality- one within a fundamentally irrational system- but I think this is a very cogent and much more precise argument www.patreon.com/posts/illusi...

so just realized helen lewis is apparently NOT helen andrews, like exactly how many fascist helens we got running around out here

how dare these plebeians question the endowed chair of anticommunist thought at stanford university

They are at $480,000/500,000 goal Just donated $25 can anyone match me

what's funny about the platner stuff is that nobody talking about it seems concerned the US military has a pretty rich history of using nazi shit last ~50yrs? USMC snipers use the SS bolts, reservists use the Afrika Korp logo, the fuckin secdef has an iron cross tattoo, this shit everywhere yall lol

woke up to no water, so that's exciting

Well, this is appalling. I use proton mail and I guess I'm now looking for a replacement.

legit think there needs to be a conversation about how many people on the left appear to Smart Guy'd themselves into thinking that consistent large-scale propaganda doesn't work or isn't effective, because uh... it does and it is

it's so funny to me all these people in the year two thousand and twenty six are like "... now I'm NOT worried every channel being a right-wing slop factory will turn people right-wing" dawg look around, what do you think has happened, who do you think is the president right now

winn dixie shut down, how am I expected to live

made the mistake of turning on the SOTU for a couple mins and my big takeaways are 1) I overestimated the degree to which describing people as "waxy ghouls" is always hyperbole and 2) it is shocking and should be an absolute scandal that half of that chamber is not completely empty

is it just me or did "RIP to [person]" used to be sort of cavalier and mostly used ironically? It seems like in the last few years I've been seeing it used earnestly a lot more often and it throws me a little every time

can you describe a figure skater as a gunslinger

Imo the thing about LLMs that a lot of people are missing is that the goal isn't, like, *better* medical diagnoses. The goal is generating plausible *seeming* output whose underlying mechanisms are so obfuscated, and at such a volume, that regulatory & liability constraints on profits are impossible

It's incredibly funny that there's a bunch of people on here absolutely *obsessed* with the pernicious influence of the DSA Int Committee shadowy cabal lol

When NOPD discovers that a person has an immigration detainer, that person will now be taken to jail for ICE pickup. The new policy went into effect yesterday. A stunning betrayal, after the administration swatted down our pleas for transparency and community input. nola.gov/nola/media/N...

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous. The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

you know it's not new or novel point but can I just say that it is absolutely fucking *insane* that the world's richest man, ceo of a company allegedly worth 1.3 TRILLION actual real american dollars in investment, is out here saying shit like this

The flip side of this is that “just a ballot line” also means “just a network of money and patronage flows, but no party line” which means once you get someone in, it’s really hard to have any kind of leverage over them and they don’t really need you anymore

If you (like me) hadn't seen precisely how deep Chomsky was in with Epstein, this is his response to Epstein asking for feedback on an oped he wrote about how he ~innocently~ solicited minors

ilhan has been attacked, defamed and slandered in the vilest possible ways since day ONE, and the bravery and determination she has shown in response could not be in starker contrast to the leadership of the democratic party (many of whom *participated* in that slander)

"Maduro was bad, but" shut the fuck up, you people will never learn.

I just woke up because I had a nightmare and what THE FUCK

Happy New year to all, especially including the Radical Left Scum that is doing everything possible to destroy our Country,

gotta hand it to em, the nonzero possibility every play a quarterback's leg will just snap clean off does make it more exciting to watch lol

starting to think this guy might be a bad person thehill-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/thehill....

"I'm an Atlantic socialist," he said, completing the Lament Configuration

how am I going to explain to my kids indiana is #1 in football

mood

we talked about many things- things, so many, you wouldn't believe how many things. Have you heard this- the price of linen? The change rake of linen is twenty- some say it's more- twenty-five "suits" made of linen, thirty linen suits like they wear at key west, which is now very popular by the way

lmao
