Bill Clinton's dick is the lament configuration that has cursed american politics for the entirety of my lifetime

A remake of the Tim Curry board game murder-comedy, only all the suspects and the victim were openly in one big consensual relationship unit, called Cule

I've had American highway engineers tell me that we can't improve existing crosswalks, because a pedestrian may feel that a safer crosswalk entitles them to step into the crosswalk without waiting for a gap in traffic.

The Vengabus is coming? I’m looking on OneBusAway and it’s been delayed 8 minutes

How can the Boys be Back In Town if they can’t afford to live in town

Antisemitism is when you criticize Chuck Schumer for being bad at his job.

Hahahahah they were just playing a trick on us where they’d pretend to fight back until we voted for them, and then immediately cave www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"We can't make the pain of federal workers a political albatross for Republicans, so we have to make the pain of people losing their healthcare a political albatross for Democrats"

I guarantee you that all the people trying to absolve the party of blame by pinning it all on the Traitor Eight will find a reason to support every single one of those traitors in their next elections

remember every Democrat should be assumed to be in support of this unless they break Senate omertà and start opposing colleagues in primaries

Cavers. Turncoats. Chickenshits. Fuckers.

Tim Kaine is a traitor

Every Virginian should carry around a rotting tomato just in case they happen to run into Tim Kaine

@aaronrouse.bsky.social the people of Virginia hope for liberation from the quisling Mark Warner

Dear @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov Don’t you dare vote for the CR. Don’t you fucking *dare*. Yours, A NoVA voter.

What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

like come on lads what did you /think/ was going to happen when you came for him for saying things like "israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights for all its citizens," a statement that any normal human being agrees with unconditionally /instinctively/

it's cool that there are still elections

If you have ever met a current or former member of congress, you are two hops from at least one US president, which means you are three hops from millions of people all over the world, some of whom have done horrible things.

Omg 😭

It is so cool that Americans have found ways to engage in spontaneous mass protests in suburban environments specifically designed to prevent this kind of thing.

An icon.

Very normal endorsement, very normal campaign, how dare you criticize this, etc

There are worse fates, but it just hit me hard how tragic it is, culturally, for adults in the richest and most educated country ever to debate the whether it’s OK for a senate candidate to have a Nazi tattoo. What is this? Why has so much about our lives become a bad farce? Just miserable.

honestly the conjunction of "criticizing women for getting raped while drunk" and "does extremely inadvisable things while drunk in other countries" is almost a worse sign than the tattoo itself

“i liked what they had to say at first but changed my mind after i learned more about them” is, like, the most bog standard of normal behaviors for an informed voter that gets you yelled at on social media

Can't help but note that this is what it took to finally get accessible sidewalks built here. Let this be a lesson for Houstonians: the quickest way to get your road repaired is to paint a big rainbow on it.

UK study: a car’s four tires churn out one trillion particles for every kilometer driven. This means 80% of plastic in our bodies is likely from car tire dust contaminated with traces of oil, petrol, petrol exhaust & asphalt. No wonder Cancer rates are going up e360.yale.edu/features/tir...

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Am I going to have to start getting optimistic about Blexas?

The phrase "unindicted coconspirator" reminds me of the time that the W administration used that label to describe every Muslim in the US.

Today in Things That Will Never Happen:

Everyone from Bari Weiss to Mike Johnson has been out running their mouths about antisemitism. Andrew Cuomo's doing so tonight on live TV. @saulelbein.bsky.social has a very important question: what the fuck are these guys talking about?

Report the post, then block the account. (You know which account I'm talking about)

Feeling dehydrated? This quenched my thirst. www.wsj.com/us-news/zohr...

Theater kids (complimentary)

Every person involved in this needs to spend the rest of their life in Gitmo.

It’s pronounced cyclist.

I have no interest in attacking this poster, but I legit do not understand why the concept of kayfabe in sports generates this kind of sneering contempt among many fans of non-scripted sports. They are different things, and I don't see why it's so awful to enjoy either one.

When we implement Woke 2, we will update the MUTCD to require that every crosswalk is rainbow colored.

For both the Israeli and American right, "Hamas" has come to function less as a description of membership in a particular terrorist organization and more as a slur that marks a person as deserving of death, regardless of what that person has actually said or done.

If you visit Porto, you'll find a city with an American style light rail system, complete with the kind of infrequent service that American transit agencies are infamous for.

I remember having a conversation with a conservative back around 2016 in which I raised concern about Trump aligning himself with Nazis and the response was, "but what if the Nazis agree with us on the minimum wage?" ...anyways there's a reason I don't associate with that person anymore.

I think something we have to do more of is talk about how kickass a lot of American cities are because right now some people think they’re run by Sharia Law nudists and most of us never thought to counter that argument because it’s stupid and doesn’t make any sense

Absolutely wild ad pull on an M3 today, I think car 9876?

don't print lies in the newspaper 😞

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

i think a very under discussed benefit of reorganizing society around walkable cities and mass transit is we would all have a lot less mental exposure to smug auto insurance mascots

i feel so Seen
