Any time someone uses gallons instead of acre feet or cubic meters when referring to large quantities of water, they are probably trying to mislead you

It’s weird to be reminded that there are a bunch of people on this site who think that Graham Platner is a die-hard Neo-Nazi who is just waiting to get into office to go full Himmler, and not like, a dumbass with dubious moral character.

I remain absolutely baffled that this short-form video slop could be anyone’s preferred method of consuming information. I could read these words in like ten seconds if they were in paragraph from, if for some reason I wanted to read this idiotic nonsense.

Prattchuds in shambles

Probably best to give up on Maine and put our hopes on Texas at this point. The stars are just completely aligning for Collins to defy gravity again.

oh look, the inevitable is happening

We gotta exile whoever invented the jungle primary dawg

Just openly conspiring with Republicans to shut the progressive candidate out of the race lol

What’s weird to me about this “god is non-binary” outrage is that it is, though not in those exact words, what I was told about god as a child in an extremely conservative Christian private school.

lmao the ball-garglers over at r/Maine are already talking about Platner 2028

Nashville wouldn’t even register in China. China has a dozen cities ten times bigger than Nashville that you’ve never heard of.

Spring 2025-ass talking points

This one really annoyed me because Collins voted for HR1 and it will do immense damage to rural hospitals by gutting state supplements to rural hospitals in practice. This was an easy layup.

Hard to imagine he can’t get a handful of slopulist democrats to help save his ass here

I think it’s interesting that when zoomers want to make fun of us they always associate us with the Stomp Clap Hey era of pop-folk, but I’m not seeing any of us name any of those songs.

Mormons would rather vote Republican than go to therapy

Your regular reminder that when David Duke ran for statewide office in the early 1990s, the MAJORITY of white Louisiana voters pulled the lever for him. This was AFTER they’d seen the pictures of Duke in a Klan outfit and a Nazi uniform.

The idea that soaking up a billion dollars of labor value generated by workers in companies that you own represents the ultimate realization of human potential is so profoundly misanthropic.

We need a Cultural Revolution for law professors. I wanna see those clowns shoveling manure on a pig farm.

I disagree strongly with this lowest common denominator vision of equity that expands legal impunity to historically marginalized groups instead of holding the powerful to account for their transgressions. This kind of thinking, while understandable, is corrosive to public trust and civil society.

The Ceausescu method of population growth. Very cool.

EZRA KLEIN: What I find admirable about this sieg-Heiling freak who is personally responsible for the deaths of countless thousands of people and the gratuitous loss of hundreds of thousands of government jobs, who cheats at videogames and ruined Twitter, is that he pretends to want to go to Mars

Bruh who is having a 3 year old fire a twelve gauge?! I was still on the 20 gauge when I was 12!

The Facebook boomers in my town are gonna have a protest for “no more apartment buildings” lmao

People who tell you they can deliver European style social welfare while cutting taxes on everyone except the "super rich" is lying to you because they think you're stupid.

I worry we're going to get decades of really rank, acidic reactionary politics fueled by the shattered dreams of generations of men who thought school was girly but gambling was manly and then wonder why they are poor.

Gonna choose to believe that everything with Platner is just gonna be fine unless/until proven otherwise. Not shit I can do about it regardless.

. @aoc.bsky.social responds to this trend: "BOOOOO" "This race to try to see who can be exempt from participating in society is not a conversation that I'm interested in," she tells me, calling it an uninspiring message. "I'm a Great Society Democrat, and I believe in building that together."

I still have yet to see any evidence that Democrats are ready to go nuclear on the Supreme Court — the one thing they absolutely have to do to save the republic.

please stop trying to trick working class people into feeling solidarity with rich landowners

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

you know I am always saying that cops don’t have enough special privileges to remind us that we’re their inferiors

no tax on tips no tax on teachers no tax on first responders no tax on veterans no tax on law enforcement no tax on dog owners no tax on sports fans no tax on Pepsi drinkers no tax on Geminis no tax on people born on weekends no tax on blondes no tax on anybody with a middle name

By far the most striking thing about this guy is how normal he seems to be.

Fish salad sandwitches are just better with sardines than with tuna. Taste better, better for you, no mercury, there's really no competition.

My most centrist take is that I find both liberals who spend most of their energy shitting on leftists and leftists who spend most of their energy shitting on liberals to be very annoying and not worth listening to.

There’s an absolute legend standing alone on the sidewalk on Main Street waving a sign that says “ARREST THE ENTIRE REGIME”

Sure, gas may be way more expensive, but don’t worry: a handful of old guys with cowboy hats in Houston are gonna make a ton of money!

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

these drooling imbiciles not voting is really the best possible outcome. hopefully they never start again

In *northern* Virginia? Wtf lmao

More political charisma in that room than the entire senate chamber

The thing about "intellectual diversity" in academia is that conservatives think that all disciplines should have a chud affirmative action track like the law does.

lmao more tax cut slop for the hogs

Aarp is a terrorist organization its time for the elderly to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps
