Hakeem Jeffries, asked if Diana DeGette can hold on in CD1: "It's a close race, and we'll see what happens." "Pretty much every cycle, there are active primaries, and a handful of incumbents are unable to retain their seats." "I think Rep. DeGette has had an extraordinary career."

We should claim our victories but "thousands of dollars" and a positive news article did not sweep Rabb to victory. This was a coalition campaign in which Philly DSA played a key role, and the national endorsement delivered what it always does - a small amount of money.

divisive issues that don't threaten the immediate interests of capital are more precious than gold, they'll never give one up for free by winning the argument too hard. two identical capital parties that only differ on which bathrooms trans people use would be a dream come true

when you go to someone else’s house for the first time you have to inspect their bathroom and see what they got going on. this bitch don’t wash her face. oh this bitch believes in the power of flossing.

the "when the anime has lore" post has reminded me of this colin trevorrow moment that i don't think anyone is more obsessed with than me, in which he pretends he independently invented the hero's cycle in the context of Book of Henry, and then calls himself a "story nerd"

who else loves stories? all my favorite shit seems to have stories in it. real big into stories myself. always geeking out about plots and the like, i'm such a nerrrrddddd

the nice thing about microsoft is that basically everyone under the age of 40 who has ever used a computer probably already has some experience pirating their shit. just keep it up folks

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

LRT i feel like i have not seen anyone talking about the fact that tech companies did such a good job ubiquitizing and normalizing gen AI that even people who took hardline stances against it are carving out exceptions for themselves to use it in this context or that—for the love of god just stop

seeing otherwise intelligent and principled people backslide into spitting out the exact same lines that AI's most annoying peddlers do—Sure, It Has Its Problems, But If Youre Smart And Discerning It Can Be A Great Tool!—it's just maddening. the product didn't change, you just got worn down. wake up

these days, we live in a man-eat-pill world. people don’t seem to use balms, ointments, salves and liniments as much as they ought to.

i’m inviting all self-identified “old school” or “classical” “transsexuals” to my house for a dinner party. you’ll be seated at the table over the large trapdoor. i’ll be by the lever to keep it safe. so don’t worry. there are no giant flesh-eating ants under it, so don’t worry about that either.

the stuff about the sale of greenland is just drawing my attention to how absurd it is that it’s still a fucking colony in 2025. “oh greenland’s economy would collapse without danish support” ok, and? maybe denmark has an obligation as a COLONIZER to support it, then, without fucking owning it?

its really annoying to have a president named JD. gen X ass name. whats next? secretary of state kyle? everyone has been saying how much they cant wait for the gerontocracy to die off and be replaced with fresh faces but they didnt consider it would usher in the Todd Imperium.

its so awesome when people make posts generalizing about “trauma survivors.” has something bad happened to you before? oh boy are you gonna relate to this

people say “you have to judge slaveholders by the morality of their own time, no one knew it was wrong” and then you read about some Quaker named, like, Mr. End-Slavery-Now who was also a feminist and a vegetarian and advocated the overthrow of capitalism.
