I’m seeing a lot of leftist posts on the other site overrun with hypercritical baseless claims about other liberals being DINOs or somesuch, usually with very strange like-dislike ratios. Maybe I’m thinking conspiratorially, but it seems that those posts+likes aren’t real. I like Ezra Klein!

met my favorite mayoral candidate being an advocate for unions and representing a generally-underserved part of Seattle on my way to pick up lunch! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social !!! yes!

nice argument, unfortunately i have already depicted myself as Switch 2 Keith David and you as Gamecube Jason Alexander

finding an old (12+y) thread on the internet is such a peculiarly joyful experience. People wrote in such a relatively carefree and silly prose compared to the algorithmic-rage-bait irony-poisoned ad-copy we all emit today. I miss the old web.

Arguing anything with a MAGA person or a fringe leftist makes it immediately obvious what the problem is. They can make whatever claims they want, and when you criticize those claims, they take a step back into a massive sea of alternative evidence and communities that confirm that evidence.

the amount of people in the world who just open-throat chug abject lies and baseless conspiracies is just so fucking depressing lmao

The amount of willful unpunished stupidity that’s not just allowed, but incentivized by social media is imo the central issue of our modern sociopolitical culture. The dopamine loop involved in cyclically validating mutual lies is Very Bad. The government should regulate social media algorithms.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

in my city which is apparently in a state of extended military occupation due to extreme and widespread unrest a really kind sanitation worker saw me sitting out front with my kids and gave them free toy trash cans and we talked about recycling

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Senator Cory Booker has now broken the record for the longest Senate Floor speech, previously held by Strom Thurmond (24 hours 18 minutes).

the stock market? you mean the “what side of the bed does the bone-spurr’d octogenarian wake up on” betting pool? I’m all in on the irrational downfall of the global order, myself! 🙂

A selection of two headlines on the NYT that preceded a small note on Cory Booker’s ongoing 13 hour speech. lmao.

I will start supporting local businesses when local businesses start supporting my need for a baked potato, a chicken sandwich, and a cup of chili for lunch. Until then, I am A Wendy’s Man, a student of Dave.
