The minute Dems gain any power at all, watch them descend like locusts, hyping an endless series of fake scandals fed to them by the same RW slop machine that's been playing them for fools for decades. They can't wait.

The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.

🧵 Matt Yglesias is one of the biggest reasons the Democratic Party leadership is so feckless, cowardly, and lazy. I'm not exaggerating. Yglesias is often a featured speaker at private Democratic Party events, despite almost always being wrong. Let's discuss...

I would like to see the end of the term "vaccine skeptic," to be replaced by "reality denier." These so-called skeptics are actually the most gullible rubes on the planet when it comes to conspiracy nonsense and tech-bro slop; the only thing that makes them skeptical is peer-reviewed evidence.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

Read every word of this and share it.

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

this is like that ITYSL bit. "Is that the joke, Jamelle? You forcibly plow my head into concrete, rendering me PARALYZED OR DEAD presumably, so I won't be able to make my family photo tonight, my wife's a widow, my kids are crying, don't get into the college of their choice? Is that the joke??"

If you think that you should not say bad things about power people, you are not a journalist. You are a corporate public relations agent.

why does the WaPo print headline on the botched TN execution read like The Onion

Tech industry is laser focused on solving the problem of humans enjoying each other’s company bsky.app/profile/down...

(sorry I had this follow-up post halfway written and then had to hop into a meeting)

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

@ryanhanawwp.bsky.social have you heard anything about why they’re not using the traditional preseason jersey nameplates? Noticed the names are arched tonight. Maybe shorter preseason not worth the extra cost?

Like @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social said, Mamdani just pushed the button.

"We're uprooting fraud by getting rid of these freeloaders who keep paying into the system without taking anything back out" Genius.

Incredibly great understanding here of theory of change by Mamdani. Despite wanting social change for centuries, since the Cold War, progressive policy advocates lost the ability to explain to normies or even the desire. This man gets it.

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

SHOUT-OUT to all proud members of the MAGA-Resistance Movement in their defense of the Kennedy Center. It will NEVER have the Orange Felon's name on it, just as it will continue to be the Gulf of MEXICO, Lake ONTARIO & the Department of DEFENSE. #AccountabilityIn45Days 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊 🌊

The baseline level of Dumb Guy Pretending To Be Even Dumber in our culture is incredibly high at the moment, but this is an all-time performance in that category. Hall of Fame work in any era.

Democratic strategists: Ahhh! What's the right message!!?? Where do we moderate!?!? Jon Ossoff: This administration is horrible. I hate these people. We should put them in jail. I'm pissed Voters: This guy is cool Strategists: I can't figure it out!!!!!

I fucking hate "I don't take sides" people, which is just siding with the oppressor and hoping you'll have plausible deniability. You're not apolitical, you're not neutral, you're just doing this:

REACHER: I need help with my iPhone SUPPORT: regular iPhone or duo? REACHER: how can I tell SUPPORT: if it folds it’s the duo *extremely loud crunching noise* REACHER: it’s the duo

bae: come over me: I can't I don't know how to stop bae: my parents aren't home me:

wife: what's wrong? me: I just got diagnosed with dyslexia wife: wtf me: no actually this is bad

There's no such thing as an informed centrist. There are progressives, liberals, conservatives, and reactionaries. These guys are conservatives, and they're in the wrong party.

RIP Don Nelson, he retired to Hawai’i to play poker and smoke weed and look like this, he’s literally the goal

Not to beat up on Douthat even more, but I'll just say: it has never, in all of post-war American history, been more crystal clear exactly who your enemy should be. Never. If it's not obvious to you, you are morally & intellectually defective.

NYT wanted to write a story about "moderate Dems go to war with DSA," looked around, and the best they could find was a *proposal* by Third Way to spend $15M against left candidates. The story is not evidence that *Democrats* and the left hate each other... it's evidence that the NYT hates both.

Dr. Fauci, who saved millions of lives in the USA, is getting treatment harsher than all the Epstein perpetrators. America is fundamentally damaged to its core.

Is anyone more cartoonishly pathetic than the weak little babies yelling at Fauci The saddest YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME toddlers who just couldn’t fuckin pitch in like everybody else

The subtitles here are phenomenal.

say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please

At first I read this as a sign about the band TOOL and it was much funnier that way

My revulsion at the mainstream media for participating in the WHCD tonight can’t be overstated. They’re laughing at his jokes and shaking his hand? Fuck off. The corporate press is an enemy addicted to access. And this was true before the Ellison’s started their takeover.

tbh I'm pretty sure this would have saved the entire MCU

when we said “bring back shame” this is exactly what we meant none of these assholes should be allowed to buy coffee in peace
