When I was younger I would listen to Rush or Hannity, and joke that I was “keeping an eye on the opposition.” I would find myself yelling at the radio in the car so I stopped bc it was bad for me. MMFA took that idea, and did it at scale, and broke the brains of some really talented journalists.

It’s fine for a black man to be successful, as long as he doesn’t run my nose in it by being more successful than me.

(Watching a political party shoot itself in the dick repeatedly) this is a functioning political party.

I mean, I’m not terribly surprised that the anti-Semitic ad is not being denounced on this site.

I mean…he’s not wrong.

See? There is no secret “defeat fascism once and for all” belief system. You just do the work, every election. Far left, center left, it doesn’t matter. Learn the lesson: Stop pretending you’re special and just fucking vote for Democrats.

It’s so refreshing to watch a video where Mehdi is talking to an asshole not being an asshole.

A very common and sort of funny combination of beliefs on here is that reactionary corporations exercise iron control over the media and also that this is irrelevant to Democrats attempting to put out progressive messaging

Both sides of this are anti-social assholes. People who say they don’t want their car to do menial shit like pick up the groceries also complain that their burrito taxi isn’t free. People who say your car will be your spouse need to find one (1) person who can stand then for more than a few minutes.

So are online influencers still showing their receipts from grocery shopping and food delivery or was that just a fuck with Democrats type of thing?

Online leftists are all just embarrassed libertarians part eleventy bajillion

I am at a bar in KCKS and the tv just played 5 back to back Hamilton ads calling the other guy a pedophile protector. Holy shit this is going to be a blood bath.

It’s fucking insane that this news dropped today and earnings for Tesla and SpaceX were up after their earnings calls today.

Does anybody want to tell James Talarico that Landry KILLED A MAN?!? Or, rather, he killed one man that we KNOW about. Talarico's gonna have to distance himself from that endorsement for the rest of the campaign. Sigh.

Fucking Canadians.

I am begging people whose livelihood depends on shitting on democrats, but aren’t actively wreckers to shut the fuck up for like 3 weeks until the midterms are over.

that is also not what he said

It is objectively funny that the person who lets everyone on this site think that she’s a lawyer, despite having the same level of legal credentialing as me (none), is very upset that some ai generated blog spit out a garbled explanation between attorney and lawyer.

Matt is right here. My wife recently received $50K from a rich aunt, and we…painted our house, and are taking our daughter to Disneyworld and on a 3 day cruise next summer, and will have have a bit left over to fund into our IRAs. We are a roughly 70th percentile hhi, so not wealthy by any means.

I think this thread is good but I think it’s sort of dances around the fact that here on Bluesky people say yes I want policy I want policy, and we still consume that content. It’s the people who aren’t here who are less politically engaged who just want Trump bad content which we still consume.

The sight gag in Disclosure Day where John Walker can’t drive over the phone so Mary Poppins gets out and puts it directly under the tire is the best part of this movie so far.

This is a completely insane take. It’s never been easier to get free or cheap books!

I say this in no way the body shame, but change jealous has not seen the inside of a gym in a solid decade

As a polish jew I thought what we had with Ben and the onion was special, but it turns out we’re just another notch in the “what do you mean that’s bigoted and racist, it’s just funny, you can’t even tell a joke anymore” bedpost.

There should also be mandatory cognitive evaluations to post, which this dumb motherfucker would surely fail.

While my daughter and I were putting out decorations my neighbor drove by today and told my daughter and I it’s not Halloween until we put up our decorations. So now I feel bad about our weak ass effort this year.

Yet another positive review

It’s weird how people who want you to read theory have never read theory.

Yes, because a lot of “leftists” are kids from right wing households, who realized they held a left-coded core position (usually lgbtq rights), but have never rethought any of what Fox News told them about liberals.

All of the more than 100 million Americans who live in states without the death penalty, either by abolition or executive moratorium, *have Democrats to thank* for this fact.

It's kind of interesting how this declaration of responsibility for the Democrats is, in fact, just an advertisement for the authors past articles.

I see that we are engaging in some green lantern theory to mourn the ending of lanterns.

My fervent opposition to genocide had me so stressed out that I proposed a genocide.

My hot take is I don't think the revisionism of HP helps anyone. Will is correct here. The fact is, the politics of the books are simply completely different from how she participates in politics now. She was radicalized and changed by social media. It happened to her, and it can happen to you too.

When you’re sooooooo close to getting it.

This is a great thread. Also, a casual reminder that you cannot outsmart propaganda because it is built around how people's brains interpret and intuit patterns. If you soak in it as part of your career, it will have an effect. The only guaranteed way to sidestep propaganda is to not consume it!

The grammatical 'colon' and the anatomical 'colon' are not etymologically related. The anatomical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kolon’ which means “large intestine.” The grammatical 'colon' comes from the Greek ‘kōlon’ which means “limb.” Both are a means to an end.
