I love NYC and don’t plan to ever leave but Chicago is easily the best bang for your buck in the country. It has basically everything you’d want in a city for a fraction of the cost of NYC, LA, SF, etc.

Genuinely how can you really be surprised by rising antisemitism when even many Democrats repeatedly tie American Jews to Israel

“Liberal Zionists” are right up there with “Log Cabin Republicans” for most embarrassing group of people

Only 13% of Democrats have a positive view of Israel and they’re all elected Democrats

It’s good that the vast majority of Democratic voters have finally seen the light but there should not be one single pro-Israel person in the party. Any person who looks at what Israel is doing and supports it or finds a way to defend it is, like MAGA, not someone I have anything in common with.

Liberal Zionism may genuinely be the most pathetic, hypocritical worldview I’ve ever seen

It rocks that numerous Democrats are marching with multiple war criminals but no one in the media will have a freakout like when a bunch of college students say “Free Palestine”

Chuck Schumer and Kathy Hochul were totally fine with it though because they are racist and don’t actually believe Israel is guilty of anything

It'd be fair if a media outlet were to ask Chuck Schumer why he marched in the same parade procession as the Israeli finance minister who is wanted by the ICC Prosecutor for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and apartheid.

Amazing that Zohran Mamdani did not want to join a parade with Bezalel Smotrich, soon to be wanted by the ICC for crimes against humanity. www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

Got to love Democrats joining a political extremist who is banned from entering the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Norway in celebrating Israel!

“Israel’s just war of self-defense” feels so unbelievably forced. Like these people don’t actually believe it but have to keep saying it anyway lest it shatter their worldview.

Just had lox for the first time at Barney Greengrass. I’m a changed man.

My knowledge of the French Revolution was pretty surface-level before this book — A New World Begins by Jeremy D Popkin — and I had no idea the extent to which the revolution ate its own. Louis Philippe II literally voted for the execution of Louis XVI, his cousin, and he got guillotined anyway lol

Reading my French Revolution book and I continue to be struck by just how radical the French Revolution was. Absolutely wild that there were thousands of legit political extremists killing in the name of republicanism, liberty, and other democratic causes usually associated with nonviolence.

mfers when they watch one episode of for all mankind

The moon is crazy tonight

It’s pretty crazy we can just see the surface of another object in space at night lol

My Top 10 TV shows of all-time: 1. The Leftovers 2. The Americans 3. Dark 4. Breaking Bad 5. Game of Thrones 6. Mad Men 7. Better Call Saul 8. Andor 9. Friday Night Lights 10. The Sopranos Honorable mentions: Deadwood, Lost, Justified, The Expanse, Mr. Robot, Halt & Catch Fire, The Wire

FOR ALL MANKIND is still fun and entertaining but it makes me miss THE EXPANSE, a show that should have received another season or two

We’re about to find out because I think that’s exactly what Platner is lol I don’t think he’s some Secret Republican

Kik is a sexting app, especially for people cheating on their partners lol Not defending Platner here but it isn’t some like Dark Web site.

FOR ALL MANKIND makes me very sad at how little we’ve accomplished in space travel over the last several decades. I know we’ve got to feed people before we build rockets but we should be on Mars already and exploring all over. We’ve lost our curiosity and wonder as a species.

It bodes very poorly for the future of American democracy that candidates like Graham Platner are now acceptable to Democratic voters but that’s also what happens when your country is taken over by deranged fascists and the opposition party is too old or feckless to lift a finger

Platner will very likely win because we’re in a blue wave environment, Maine is a light blue state, and Democratic voters are so angry about what is going on in the country that they’ll probably tolerate anything and anyone with a D by their name in a general election

Congrats on learning what a general election is and how you have to eat shit and vote for people you hate sometimes. Welcome to how progressives have felt for decades.

Platner won’t be Fetterman 2.0 as a senator. He will just be an asshole who will probably have a new scandal every three months.

For many centrists it's like their first time having to contemplate supporting a candidate that sucks shit lol

I want Platner to win and he *has* to win for Dems to have a majority. I also think the Fetterman 2.0 concerns are overblown. But the guy clearly has no moral compass. He’s a cheater and has said and done really bad things. Defending him or doing whataboutism makes a lot of you look very stupid.

Hell yeah, California, nominate the Empty Suit who stands for absolutely nothing and is reportedly dumber than Joe Biden

The Butler assassination attempt cooked his brain and imo it explains why he’s so obsessed with regime change and shit like Greenland now. Dude is old and everyone wants to kill him — he’s having a massive crisis that this is his last chance to be remembered forever lmao

What I don’t understand is why any Democrat who takes a dime from AIPAC isn’t booted out of the party

AIPAC saying that its critics are discredited by receiving funding from George Soros is, unfortunately, the logical endpoint to the current discourse of "antisemitism and anti-Zionism are synonymous" espoused by the American right.

One of the most revolting people on Twitter. You won’t see me defending Platner but pretty sure infidelity is not comparable to drugging and raping someone!

Wow man that would be a problem if you didn’t already identify why it’s not a problem in the first line

Need to catch up on S5 of FOR ALL MANKIND (even if it has declined in recent years) and then start STAR CITY

this is embarrassing

Dude is such a scumbag lmao

these idiots make such a mess!

Katie Porter flopping so hard is hilarious. Thank god she got exposed as a total fraud, the whiteboard and other bullshit gimmicks got so old.

Twitter has really made casual cruelty the norm huh

fit check

I still think DARK on Netflix is the most impressive, mind-bending show ever made and would be considered an all-timer if it was in English

LMAOOOO

The White Sox might finish the year with a better record than the Red Sox. Just like everyone predicted.

Don’t like to read too much into individual anecdotes but being against data centers seems like the easiest slam dunk ever for Democrats in rural and swing districts

I would get banned for saying what I want to say about John Fetterman

Finished my MAD MEN rewatch

Didn’t even realize a Libertarian was running, my god Ted Brown will be a hero with 0.64% of the vote
