Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

I think you should hold yourself to the standards you demand of other people

and if you’re asking, “what’s a sam haselby?” the answer is that he is a failed academic turned editor who spends his time being bitter about his stalled career, and lashing out against the women and minorities he blames for his shortcomings

i am going to say this again: Sam Haselby is a fucking liar who constantly pulls this stuff about people. fabricating positions and views that are easily disproved because in addition to being a liar he is incredibly lazy and none-too-bright

Its a real disappointment that there isn't a good gif of Benjamin Sisko explaining the linear nature of time. In general, events that occur in 2026 are not the causes of events in 2022.

Irony is dead. @ahhhhhlt.bsky.social

This the skeleton key that explains the entire left-of-center political and informational environment. There is no social reward for ever saying anything nice about a mainline Democrat, so no one does. As a result, baseless antipathy towards the party completely pervades the environment.

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

i mean i don't think you can separate any of this discussion from the fact that so many of the participants are men who clearly have hang-ups about their inability to perform a certain kind of blue collar masculinity

A lot of punditry about excessive wokeness is that working out, physical fitness and blue collar culture got treated as if it is right-wing coded which hurt Dems with men in 2024 The problem is those saying it look like they've never stepped onto a football field or lifted a hammer in their life

Ro Khanna is extremely annoying how he tries to play the populist everydayman raging against the system on one hand while on the other hand being the congressman for Silicon Valley billionaires

I'd have more respect for your desire to be Nate Silver if you owned up to the fact you used to be a supporter and praised Biden for being *effective* as president and now changed your mind rather than this mindless Biden derangement syndrome that acts like you were always raising the alarm bells

That account makes fun of tankies. The clue is in the name. Not every communist is a tankie - because the term refers to people who live in the west claiming to oppose imperialism and militarism - unless it's done by regimes who are anti-west. Like the USSR. If you're mad I guess it strikes a nerve

there are so many "This you?" posts that I could make about this, particularly this MF's attitude toward ukraine

Taylor Lorenz is an extremely unlikeable individual and ultimately it comes down to her sheer narcissism of wanting to police everyone to a standard which she never meets herself. Coupled with her desire to be a Gen Z whisperer/social media influencer when in reality she is a hall monitor.

I've seen discourse you people wouldn't believe

i would love people in the "putin is just a widdle guy" camp to actually contend with any of his actual rhetoric on ukraine since he invaded, or frankly treat russia with any agency in its dealings with its neighbors

the thing about Ken is that he very clearly hates libs more than he hates fascists

Every single guy who has worked for the Intercept is primarily interested in punching at libs and running soft defense for the rurals who want us dead and but people get immensely angry if you call this Strasserism

How it started. How it’s going.

“Trump spent years campaigning against risky and expensive wars, and criticizing hawkish foreign policy decisions” is just straightforwardly false. It’s completely made up!

Glenn Greenwald:

The people railing about Cowardly Liberals right now really don’t seem to understand how I bet at least 90% of the people who show up to protest would self-identify as if you asked them about their political beliefs

Menswear guy is a lot of people's favorite so maybe it will finally get through a lot of people's thick skulls that there is a fairly significant group of leftists who think that any Asian who fled a "communist" country was clearly a capitalist landlord wrecker

Biden failed at many things but he made a major break with Clintonite free trade and especially Obama's pint-sized stimulus policy and got basically no credit for it. Not Great for the prospects of future full employment

How is a Vice article over a year before Joe Biden became president a good read of "vile things" Joe Biden did as president? How is this Vice article which features a fabricated quote attributed to Joe Biden proof of this when later in the article the author admits he is reaching?

Hope more people are coming around to recognizing there are people on the left with bad judgement and bad goals who should not be trusted on any topic.

Ken Klippenstein's entire shtick these days is to mock politicians for being too old to do the requirements of their jobs except when it is Donald Trump in which case he wants to shut down the conversation What a hack

Pity the tankies who have spent the last couple of months insisting this is ridiculous Ukrainian propaganda: North Korea confirms for first time it has sent troops to fight for Russia in Ukraine war www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
