Why my new district look like a Steelix

Over 110 years later, The Economist is still pushing the same bullshit.

dems mad they didn't do it first challenge (impossible)

Exhibit A of war profiteer Mark Warner’s problem with attacks on Iran being not that they happened, but that they didn’t kill and destroy more. i.e., if the goals had been achieved, the dead and the money would have been worth it!

RFK Jr. is that kid Ben from the Walking Dead comics. You know the one.

How more lakes must be sacrificed for more AI parodies of the thing that is already terrible on its own merit

Abigail Spanberger, elected in 2018, joined the conservative Blue Dog Coalition in 2021. That year, seven Blue Dogs demanded that the Democrats delay a vote on the Build Back Better Act. In 2022, an allied dark-money super PAC, the Center Forward Committee, spent $300,00 backing her re-election.

This feels like petty bourgeoisie would be rich liberals. The "brunch liberals" that want to go back before Trump. It still blows my mind when i see a Lenin quote that sounds like it was written about today. I understand why but it still amazes me.

Totally normal to just chill with one of the Dems’ foremost genocide enablers.

Years ago I heard a comrade remark that believing in humanity’s ability to achieve communism is like believing in a religion, and goddamn if posts like this aren’t a test of faith

Cuba also has a lung cancer vaccine, but it’s more important to sanction a powerless country.

In just two weeks Miller’s went from playing Coltrane during happy hour to playing Good Charlotte and Blink 😂

Still time to register !

Someone on X asks what the writing on these beautiful Shinto toriii gates means. A Japanese user, unwilling to kill the magic and inform them these are the names of individual & corporate shrine donors, replies, "There are things best left unknown."

Well, this is probably the podcast to beat all podcasts. Well worth a listen. Trust me.

“Man who has pooped in all 50 states says he believes fiber is the value that played the biggest role in shaping the nation.”

@npr.org truly sucks. Israel isn't "battling Shiite Muslim Hezbollah militants". Israel is illegally invading In Lebanon and Lebanese are resisting the illegal invasion. If this was 1942, NPR would be reporting "Nazis are battling Jewish extremists in Warsaw".

I wrote about media rushing to turn Iran potentially capturing an American POW—who was bombing their country—as a “escalation” by Iran and Iran taking “hostages”, and the broader default setting of western media that turns everything our enemies do, no matter how defensive, into Sinister Terrorism

Who woulda thought?

This might be a hot take, but consuming as much news as we're made to believe is acceptable is a waste of time. It's just not that important. Time is infinitely better spent developing consciousness—reading radical history and theory with friends, discussing it, and figuring shit out together.

Once again begging everyone to shut this shit off and commit to listening to @citationspod.bsky.social to develop media literacy. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

🇪🇸 Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. military aircraft involved in attacks on Iran, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles said Monday. The move expands Spain’s earlier restrictions on U.S. access to jointly operated bases in the country.

In Lebanon, they are committing double tap strikes to kill medics and rescue workers, just as they did in Gaza. Medics are forced to delay their responses. These monsters are normalizing war crimes that were once unthinkable.

Then they went on to bomb every single hospital in Gaza. Now they are doing the same in Lebanon and Iran. The Israelis have bombed at least 128 medical facilities and ambulances across south Lebanon. In Iran, the US and Israel have bombed 25 hospitals and medical centres.

I'll never forget how the Israelis bombed al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza in October 2023 and the world was shocked and horrified. Israel denied it, saying they would never commit such a heinous crime.

Does it work properly? No. Are the people making it acting in good faith? No. Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No. Does it make people's lives better? No. Will it make people's lives better? No. Is it profitable? No. Is it popular? No. Is it harmless? No. The argument for AI.

have a Mario Kart 64 tiebreaker almost-live from #PAXEast 2026. Round of 16, our friend Yoshi + Toad were tied in the Flower Cup so this one Choco Mountain race decides who moves on to Top 8. maybe the craziest ending I’ve ever seen in decades of playing. unreal.

cuban doctors told me they have to sew up patients mid surgery when the generators run out of gas but maga on here are too busy lying about the ppl that went out to cuba w aid to turn everything into a distractive spectacle. pure maga propaganda. you’re cattle if you fall for it.

My incessant mentioning of Cuba became a meme pretty much immediately after I returned from my first trip, right, but the current situation and the indifference of Americans is exactly why I don’t stop. It’s not really a joke. It’s never been a joke.

The Cuban people have dedicated themselves to the people of the world and this is what we give them in return.

The question isn’t whether @yasunorimitsuda.procyon-studio.com was listening to Pat Metheny’s ‘Secret Story’ while composing for ‘Xenogears’ it’s how long did he have it on repeat.

The Times loves to quote Miami Cubans instead of anyone actually affected by the blockade and blackouts, as if gusanos' personal beef has any bearing on the humanitarian crisis. Sieging and starving an entire people is a war crime, full stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/w...
