We also have examples of other phenomenon like crime or illegal immigration where people believe that the problems are historically bad and getting worse even though the data clearly contradicts it and we understand these to be socially driven reactionary false beliefs.

This is honestly one of the most self-aware things I've ever heard a politician say.

This scared the shit out of me until it was explained that it only crawls out late at night.

This is BIG. These are the first charges relating to an incident that occurred during an enforcement operation.* The officers involved were accused of lying under oath about this shooting, as the Trump admin admitted. *the previous indictment involved an ICE agent who road raged while on duty.

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

I myself do not require a handjob to fill out a ballot to prevent fascists from disappearing my neighbors. This is because voting is a civic obligation I have to others not a special lil treat I hand out

NYT/Sienna has Trump at -22 approval which is in line with other polling. It is however a huge outlier with a -10 point generic ballot result with -14 points among most the very most likely voters. It will be interesting to see if this represents a shift as elections approach or is just an outlier.

Yeah. We take advice in every domain from people who have a level of obsessive commitment that we don't share but nonetheless through their quantity of experience have useful information that we want. I wouldn't want to be a proctologist but that guy probably knows asses.

You can still read Nate Silver explaining why even making very conservative estimate Comey's letter (contrary to department policy, based on false assumptions, incredibly cowardly) almost certainly threw the election to Trump at the Internet Archive web.archive.org/web/20190312...

Reminds me of this banger from @internethippo.bsky.social

Every graduation speech about AI

This is a gross misreading of the article. He is comparing it to a scenario where there is true nonpartisan redistricing, not the current scenario where Republicans can gerrymander everything.

Very much how when Walgreens in 2022 starts putting things behind locked glass and the clerk tells me it's because they have so much shoplifting it's because the Walgreens employee is part of the pro carceral agenda.

There is also I think a kind of view among these people that complaints about businesses shutting down due to crime, disorder, disruption, etc are automatically right coded bourgeois lies so true leftism depends on pretending that it didn't happen or doesn't matter.

The media liked him to the extent that he was a stick with which to beat The Democrats with. Whenever he was not that they were utterly venomous towards him. The fact that AOC is a team player who’s comfortable calling herself a Democrat will make her extremely offputting to both pundits and Posters

Who is going to make the cars that he uses to go get around? The food he eats? The equipment he uses for preservation? Who is going to fix the roads he uses? Build the house he lives in? What if those people want to do other things? It's like a small child's view of the world.

Christopher Nolan’s refusal to hire Vangelis as composer for The Odyssey demonstrates his complete contempt for Greek people and culture

People don't know what year it was and think that ten years ago was 1987 and not 2016.

For @forward.com, I wrote about taking reports of sexual violence seriously regardless of the nationality of the reported perpetrator (which should not be controversial but here we are) forward.com/opinion/8252...

His hair looks different on the court.

The "savvy" lefties are also buying into the same framing of Trump supporters where you are "authentic" if you indulge your worst inner impulses. We are more than the jetsam bouncing around in our ids. People abandoning the moral frameworks and norms that control those impulses is very bad.

Here is a qualitative difference. Imagine a person like Kash Patel or Pete Hesgeth or RFK Jr occupying a cabinet position in any other administration.

They wouldn't let him debate KH a second time because they knew that too much direct exposure to the real Trump would disrupt me fictional version that they created for voters.

Unless Democrats really engage with how screwed the information environment is and how to fix it this stuff is useless. It's a pure example of looking for your keys under the lamppost. It's illuminating how many of these are "Democrats must stop [thing that they weren't doing]."

The good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:

Everyone here is like (a) phones haven't changed my assessment of the world - I perceive everything like it is! and (b) I will spend the next five days swarming some guy in Minnesota who I've never met with hateful deranged slander to bond with a bunch of strangers I've also never met.

Pomegranate. Check their Promos page. They have 3 month supples (which can be spread much longer if you’re not taking the higher doses) for $399 last time I checked. I just paid $699 for a 6 month supply. It’s enough for both my wife and I and we can probably make it last 9 months.

It is really astounding to me that they are flailing to hire in what is not a great legal hiring market. Most lawyers are really not that principled and the professional benefits of working there are huge. It is a sign of their depravity that they are struggling so much.

Whenever I am back home and someone mentions Discount Drug Mart their 1980s jingle enters my brain immediately and dominates my consciousness.

The Bluesky Left is "just asking questions."

I am person who has never made a single anti-trans public statement in my entire life, I am extremely mystified how I’m ending up on a list of dangerous transphobes with the sitting vice president of the US

This, from Nick Kristof, is required reading www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

I think that people here are in a massive bubble about the degree to which this already happening. Any kind of business venture that has people on computers is using AI. If you want to be an employed person in a white collar job you are going to be using AI tools.

Part of the problem is that when we talk about AI attitudes we are talking a few different things. Like it is possible (a) think it's an effective tool for work tasks (b) Be very worried that its's going to take your job and (c) not like facebook slop memes. The graduation speech was mostly 1/2

Always reminds me of their Baked Alaska classic.

The whole point of this project and the Internet hate mobs is to police the range of acceptable opinions through an abuser dynamic.They flood you with people calling you terrible things and then blame you for not shutting up or running away."Why are you making us lie about you continuing to exist "

though many Democrats correctly blame him for the Iraq War. Grim just wants the aesthetics of a red brown coalition and is trying will one into existence even though none of the brown part is interested.

I really would sincerely and not argumentatively know what specifically people mean when they say we should let MTG into the coalition? What exactly is the ask? No one is stopping her from voting democratic or speaking out against Trump. Bill Kristol continues to publicly oppose Trump even 1/2

Peptide partners

More like Cagrilintide+Retatrutide. I can't imagine what that weight loss slope looks like given the amount of weight people lose on just retatrutide

You have to wonder if he might have won as many rings as a true champion like Robert Horry or John Havlicek or scored as many points as an elite scorer like Karl Malone.

And we Trollin, Trollin Trollin on the river!

If he had had a typical career span we would think of him as a contemporary of like Tim Duncan or Kobe.

I don't know where I read it but he has played against eleven father-son combinations. There is something like 48 years separating the youngest and oldest players he's played against.
