obvious that this is in bad faith, but it’s a helpful tell that when Netanyahu’s gone the press is going to immediately pivot to “SEE I TOLD YOU IT WAS ANTISEMITISM” when Israel changes nothing and the criticism continues

Hen Mazzig@henmazzig.bsky.social

But I thought the point of the embargo and sanctions was to pressure Israelis to elect leaders who would adopt different policies? It sounds like Congresswoman Tlaib doesn't think Israel should exist at all.

FL Republicans believe Desantis may have Dummymandered them, per CNN

the thing about this piece is that it points fingers at the BRA going back to 2002, then posits that capital will, at some point in the future from *today*, start avoiding Boston. ok, sure, but we sure built a lot of $4K 1BR’s in the seaport for a communist dictatorship…

Boston’s chief planner is a true believer in the San Francisco model, in which you make it impossible to profitably build apartments by-right so developers are forced into a politicized discretionary negotiation with the city, which relaxes the rules in exchange for below-market units.

Every single person who has lived in Boston would tell you the story of post-08 is a creeping gentrification and displacement. I would merely ask where is all this affordable housing and lack of investment, given all we see is new condos busy turning Dorchester whiter than Mark Wahlberg’s dreams

living under single party rule in the people’s commonwealth the only text I got was attacking a state treasurer candidate for being mormon

Voters are receiving so many political texts, calls and mailers that some are reconsidering ever donating to a campaign again “I must get at least 10-20 texts A DAY from literally every single candidate in the country," a Colorado voter said. "It makes me never want to make a contribution again"

my 11yo got his shit rocked by a foot taller 13yo girl in peewees, I don’t think these guys know much about youth sports

This post is unavailable.

it was very funny, he pushed her out of our crease and she punched him when the play went the other way. refs caught it but he was *so mad* we thought it was funny. scored on the power play!

every one of these is aimed directly at my bald spot

Trump: "Did anybody ever see the build, the body, on Bobby? Did anybody ever see? He's got the body of a 30 year old."

My lasting Yglesias memory is that he admits he wrote the Rana Plaza piece in fifteen minutes (it’s just a Larry Summers Econ 101 ripoff) intentionally to make people angry but thought the death toll was 25 not 2000

Jake Grumbach@jakemgrumbach.bsky.social

A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"

He deeply resents people bringing it up not because he was wrong but because he never cared either way and was just trolling. The fact that the death toll came in higher than initially reported and made him look like a monster is something unfair that happened to him

Got hit up by an “expert network” to do a “business consultation” that turns out to actually be with an AI. Normally I would say that’s unethical but I told them I was wildly unqualified for the subject and they wanted me anyways, so time to make it dumber!

The MBA’s and private equity that control the games industry are obviously looking towards consolidation instreaming, social media etc and concluding it would be much more efficient if there were like four total games you just pay for forever

once again many writers who thought they worked for a website are realizing they are just part of bill simmons’s comp package

when they shot a whitey bulger movie that was set during the busing era in my neighborhoodeveryone complained because they covered the place in racist graffiti for a month

Amy "Thunderjam" Chase@amythunderjam.bsky.social

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

sure, a lot of people who tried this went blind, but I’m built different. those people didn’t even have youtube

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court agrees to review Reconstruction-era ban on distilling spirits in private homes.

my mother is considering a late in life child alienation because I got my father very drunk during the pats game while her grandsons are every Oreo in the house

When I say my 82 year old father will follow any sport with an athlete connection to New England I mean he is intently watching the WNBA finals because of Vanessa Burton, daughter of local sports anchor Steve Burton

I am a corporate insurer married to a lawyer, literally the best case scenario, and United fucking up our prenatal and L&D billing absolutely turned our lives upside down for months. What do you think that’s like for people without our resources. “Paperwork error” that shit goes on your credit

everything about Elon makes sense when you realize he lives in an eternal 1994 and he’s thinking about fleeing Joburg ahead of the ANC

every new Tesla product feels like its designed for the apocalypse. the cybertruck is bullet proof, for some reason? the roadster has turbo thrusts that can jump collapsing bridges, i suppose?

I would kill for a James Andrew Miller / Tom Shales / Bill Carter style book on the first few years of AEW

David BASTARDspan@davidbix.com

How much early insane AEW lore do the newer fans know? Shanna trying to shoot on Leyla Hirsch (presumably because Hirsch is a Jewish lesbian and Shanna is a shoot Nazi) and failing miserably? Darius Lockhart's USB thumb drive? BALD ASSHOLES? The invoice? The Sadie Gibbs-Bea Priestley fistfight?

non dirtbag leftists have been making jokes about ana feeding her baby cigarettes since you were a republican

Jane Coaston@janecoaston.bsky.social

a non-dirtbag leftist would probably be more focused on some dipshit lady arguing that we should deport people for bad takes and not on the person saying that's bad.

I understand liberals and conservatives. You have science and compassion, tradition and religion. But centrism requires performance of beliefs completely absent of facts or God

m@keptsimple.bsky.social

many centrists are as disdainful of science as MAGA these days. virtually every study on the topic, and there have been many, show that youth programs reduce crime. it's a settled question. this is no different from claiming vaccines are a hoax.
