I’ve been feeling this for a bit now, but the future “cooling off” process that Reasonable Democrats will try to deploy against the base raging for elite accountability will be…interesting. Gonna take a lot of shapes and tones.

Ooh someone should make a collage with all the popcorn buckets

I am prone to over-applying the lessons I learned from doing animal-welfare activism, but this is a skill I genuinely think useful for folks of all political ideologies— learning to handle the difference between What You’re Fighting For/Believe In, and “some unpleasant Fellow Believers”.

There are no cool states

i love Wisconsin, and think it an underrated state. but i wouldn’t tell you it’s the coolest state in America, they don’t even have legal weed. this is because i try to be honest and not dress my own feelings up as facts.

He thankfully changed it when singing in concerts if memory serves

Oh crazy, that actually was actually Trump’s whole crew I saw at the seaport today

Okay but I want one in Italian summertime disco font

That is the worse inflatable man design I have ever seen It’s like a nelson algren character

Everyone's angry all the time now, we spend out time on machines that are designed to make us mad. What's that doing to our judgment?

i don’t really understand why Musk doesn’t just pay artists to make the art he wants.

Now this here is three jokes in one

We we re only at the art fair for 20 minutes because it waa crowded and too hot And it sucks becuase I like that coffee house and it is out of the ag so I cannot visit it too much

I hope this means something good is gonna happen (I have so many wishes )

There must be a happy medium between gritty Times Square and Disney Times Square.

This is also a. Type of nostalgia though Like they don’t realize social services and housing is the answer to actual good society It’s actual Stockholm syndrome

The Ramones and Television would have made good music even without the Bowery being an open air drug market, and you can still listen to their music in the era of seven figure condos for sale on the Bowery.

The hedonic treadmill meets four murders a day during a fiscal collapse to produce these kind of pudding brain takes that grit was awesome

Vividly reminded of the “banning masturbation on the subway is carceral” discourse.

NYC is a better place to live and work today than at any point in its history. Now build more housing so more people can afford to live in it.

Tenderloin activists don't want businesses brought there because it pleases them to see that neighborhood full of the desperately poor. Jobs so they are not poor will destroy the tenderloin's character

So many of these are just "I want to be a child/teenager/in my early 20s when I had some disposable income and little to no responsibilities"

I like Mamdani. He seems to be doing a good job But FFS people, he’s not FDR, probably not even LaGuardia. He won a Dem primary vs a sex pest & a crook. And other than broad (even banal) lessons like “be a good communicator” or “build coalitions” he’s not a model for candidates in Trump+2 districts

@davidkuhne.bsky.social ftr I like both Martin Sheen and Tom hanks. The ai thing is just dumb and unnecessary.

that'd.. that'd be a great promotional stunt honestly hire king gizard and the lizard wizard to do it

cos mark millar is very dumb

Again another good answer— Democrats have long said "the right things" about human rights but have had an exception on Palestine. In some cases they may even say the right things about Palestine, but go on to do nothing but underwrite apartheid and genocide. This era has to come to an end now.

Also a good answer

A very good answer from Mamdani on what Kamala Harris will have to begin doing in order to gain the trust of Palestinian, Arab and Muslim Americans on this issue:

ew why

Your reminder that Massie is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory nut.

(rockwell man jpg) I think it is good Harris and Mamdani are talking I'd rather he cut off trump and talk to past democratic candidates and such

talib is always the dead weight of the squad group honestly

Still haven’t seen anyone even bother to try to explain why post-production AI is immoral but digital effects aren’t

My pet peeve hill I’ll die on: there’s no such thing as “overrated,” it just means “my hatred of this thing is more valid than anyone else’s like of it,” and the same is not true in reverse of “underrated,” which is a valid and valuable category.

This is ultimately the same story as the Kansas driver's license thing. The word of the United States government is simply no good if you are a member of a minority Republicans do not like. Lucy will pull the football. You can't live a stable life like this.

again: kente cloth was the idea of the congression black caucus cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_ful...

hot damn we really are gonna nationalize fifa in 2029 ! yee fuckin haw

Rebecca Traister making the murder of an innocent man about justifying her backing an obviously unqualified and abusive misogynist to be a United States Senator—to the point of following him around Maine like a Deadhead—over a qualified woman is practically a parody of her post-2019 output

These guys are really just trying to invent Morgan McSweenyism from first principles, huh?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i get it now

20th Century go to sleep.

“Let’s do the bit where we glaze Ron Paul despite him being a racist ghoul except here you don’t even have to go find his crazy direct mail newsletters” - These F@€&ing Guys

The reactions to her loss revealed a pretty deep undercurrent of antisemitism among her strongest supporters, and honestly it’s gross that El-Sayed is using this to fundraise. I don’t care if it works for him. Morally it’s wrong, and that’s a reflection on him as a candidate.

I do not live in Michigan and am getting served El-Sayed ads featuring Kat Abuzagaleh who is *still* falsely blaming AIPAC for her loss.

Yup, Massie is going all the way there.

It has been very depressing watching so many self styled progressives decide Massie is a great ally actually because he’s also a conspiracist who hates Israel (and all other Jews)
