Translation: monopoly utilities and big tech companies can now work out mutually beneficial deals in private and then rush them through without any say from the captive ratepaying public. www.eenews.net/articles/lou...

This admin isn't going to ruin Republicans for gen z the way bush ruined millennials youtube.com/watch?v=jmQO...

More bad boss shit. Sending sweaty holiday emails about how you are TOTALLY in charge and everyone REALLY BETTER LISTEN. I would say she is failing but i am not sure that's the case. I suspect this is what success looks like

Something conservative do to each other, because they wrongly think "liberals would", is to absolutely devour one another. Right wing ideology is so individualistic cannot imagine a world where collective action is necessary. Weiss never even stops to consider this

It is 2010 and Thomas Chatterton Williams is releasing an awful anti-woke memoir. It is 2019 and Thomas Chatterton Williams is releasing an awful anti-woke memoir. It is 2025 and Thomas Chatterton Williams is releasing an awful anti-woke memoir. It is 2032 and

This is just snobbishness as a coping mechanism to paper over the alienation you feel from your failure to participate in mass culture.

Oh man, i might have to find a new gym A man with a more plump ass than mine is here And he's on THE STAIR MACHINE???? 😭

"The only people in our society who "take more than they give" are wealthy capitalists. No laborer can ever take more than they give because its our "excess labor value" that creates the capitalist wealth" Dems have got to find their language for this.

I didn't reply to them at the time but there is a popular economy poaster on here who we rubbing themselves raw predicting a massive turn around in highing next year... But i remember them

I'd say it's much more of a commentary on dialectical materialism and Hegelian epistemology in general rather than a direct response to Rawls

Even capitalist media openly discusses the stock market as gambling... Something that would cause Reuters heads to explode it i said it

This @polphilpod.bsky.social piece is from august but it feels fresh and new in light of yet another cycle of "was trump inevitable" discourse. Essential reading here: newrepublic.com/article/1992...

I don't like Chapelle anymore but @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social covered him and in this he does "martin luther king as a kirk like podcaster" and its very funny Also fuck bill maher youtube.com/watch?v=HVdJ...

Something that is clear not just to us but to the other justices: Kav is an extremely stupid chud who can be easily bullied. Alito bullied him into the Dobbs vote We have bullied him over "kavanaugh stops" Clear message for dems looking for pressure points

It really is the case that there is a contingent of white centrist democrats who well and truly believe that MLKjr ate all the racism. "But i thought we all agreed racism was bad?" They say about Republicans who jumped right from noted racist nixon to noted racist Reagan

We have all had bosses and co-workers like this. Especially common among new and insecure leadership. Yanking this piece in this way is what panicked rookies do

I think this was trump a "natural progression"/inevitable embeds and assumption that is incorrect That there is a "natural progression" of politics. That politics is going *somewhere* in an orderly and proper fashion. That history ended and trump messed that all up

i have spent time with bari weiss, who used to date my former roommate and who i am in an alumni program with, and i feel comfortable saying she is both stupid and evil

lol yeah that’s fuckin airtight wrap it up everybody no one’s ever been stupid and evil at the same time

Its just....so insulting that for you and me, even the suspicion of a crime can lead to the government shipping us off to solitary or a street execution. But the FBI can sit on giant mountains of evidence of a child rape ring and just....ENDLESSLY find ways to never act on it.

They wanted this, but under Biden or Harris. They were also willing to accept Trump if it meant this would happen. I do not feel an ounce of sympathy for them, they should be shamed for taking this obviously bad faith deal until they actually make amends.

Banger from @adamserwer.bsky.social of course but this is the capper to me

This was clear in the moment as well Remember all the pundits who got it wrong and discount their opinions going forward

The open desire for a less equal and just world is appalling, and honestly, dispiriting. The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence -- however problematic and limited its application -- was one truly great statement about humanity and making a better world.

Within the last year or two, there was a French man arrested for doing the same thing to his wife over the course of decades. He would drug her at dinner and then invite men over to rape her The bear would never...

This is such an excellent segment to highlight Because it really illustrates her inexperience and lack of knowledge for the role. She's only ever been in print. Now she runs a TV station. But she doesn't even think about the need for cameras... Because she's never done the job

I get tired of pointing this out but I will point it out again: Supreme Court Justice John Roberts killed the Medicaid expansion part of the affordable Care Act... Because he said the federal government could not threaten State spending this way. I know Roberts was just doing Republican stuff...

Donald Trump is a child rapist whether or not the letter is real or not.

And she seems quite pleased with herself that for not even trying, she got a TA fired, and herself on TV. The OU administration says yes, her getting a good grade is the correct academic outcome, and has made it policy that any student complaint results in an automatic suspension of the professor

This is worth considering. At this point, I'm much more inclined to believe the incompetence of the Trump administration Combined with the absolute mountain of stuff they would have had to redact making it virtually. Impossible to catch it all. Thirdly, They already were calling it a hoax

Then yet another example of " Republicans belatedly realizing Democrats were right all along" The inflation reduction Act included significant federal support for batteries www.backupbatterypower.com/blogs/news/i...

I've always known my oldest son is quite tall. But I hugged him and he seemed even taller today. So I measured him. I dropped his height into the percentage calculator and this s*** is getting out of control...

Perhaps the most boomer coded shit is talking about "evolutionary psychology" with a straight face It's just misogyny in a lab coat.

White men are 30% of the population. They are also: - 98% of presidents - 90% of CEOs - 90% of billionaires - 80% of Congress Forever oppressed.

You can start calling him the "pedo prez" now democrats Annnnnnnnny time now would be good

Are people still breaking up over the pronunciation of the word "tomato"? That used to be a big problem. They made a whole song about it

I declined to debate both Amy Swearer at South Carolina and Prof. Wurman at Emory because I don’t debate history. I don’t like playing whack-a-mole on the spot. I don’t respect the historical method, even if I can civilly engage in a room. I’ll let others characterize. I’ll stick to the history.

Got myself a @majorityreport.bsky.social beanie!

This slipped my notice this weekend but John Dickerson made the only possible right move Leaving CBS: www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

I am at the little garden nursery and they have... This in the gift shop and Is this offensive?

Folks this isn't even the first time 60 minutes has killed news because it ran contrary to Republican politics. They made a MOVIE about it! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ins...

Bari Weiss claims she killed the CBS CECOT story because it lacked Trump’s perspective. 1. That’s a lie. Trump has publicly commented supporting CECOT. 2. Refusing to comment is their choice. They are no victim. 3. Killing a story to protect power is State Run Media. Drop CBS permanently.

People telling me that aramadas are unbeatable by tiny cheap things and that we should keep building them.... www.rmg.co.uk/collections/...

Important to understand that the US does not have a "national security policy" We have an arms industrial plan that we call "national security" But this is just the right wing economic scheme, not a military one. This is industrial policy

Many of those frustrated by the paywall aren't trying to demand unpaid labor or of the belief that journalists shouldn't be paid. They're upset by how capitalism makes it so access only belongs to those who can afford it, and people can increasingly not afford monthly subscriptions.

Well I mean what's going on is there are two Christmases at the same time. There's the Christian virgin birth. And then there's the god of capitalism as represented by Santa Claus who is secular. I have no idea what the mix is, but I'm not thinking the majority are supporting the former

There's a reason that it's a lot of lawyers coming out of the woodwork to defend llm as useful. That's not a truthfinding business. Often it's a lying business or persuasion business. Running down the veracity of something isn't that important?

If you're local dem doesn't talk this clearly: primary them

I'm convinced at this point that Target is trying to destroy themselves. Because I was deluged with people revealing how b******* their Black Friday sales are. And now I'm getting another round where they're doing it to Christmas products. Just straight up covering up lower prices...

Parisot (the Director) tells a story about how Tim Allen just started crying after a scene one day "I don't like these feelings i'm having." Says Tim. "I'm going back to my trailor" and walks off. There's silence for a second. "Oh my god." Says Rickman. "I think Tim just experienced acting."
