ebay having a live widget for items that i’ve bid on is going to be very dangerous for my spending habits

maaaany such cases

maga has lost their goddamn minds

in 2028 I’m voting for whoever is willing to go scorched earth on these fascists and right now that’s Gavin Newsom

This is an insane reaction from MSNBC. Dowd said nothing wrong. We can lament and condemn violence while still acknowledging the (well-documented!) reality of Charlie Kirk’s career. Kirk was incredibly divisive and he did traffic in hatred against liberals, LGBTQ people, racial minorities, and women

Moderate voices in the US, particularly in the UK, need to recognise you can decry political violence, “offer sympathies” whilst also recognise that Kirk was a despicable person who touted extremist views and profited off the fear of minorities. It is possible to express these concurrent thoughts.

i think to some extent the commentariat in the US sees 'being part of the commentariat' as their class interest and are seeking to defend that

I want to be nice but like… the fact that America mourns Charlie Kirk but America does not mourn Melissa Hortman is the whole problem.

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

/4 But it’s perfectly reasonable to point out that the people who will wave the bloody shirt over this — the people who support Charlie Kirk — are evil hypocrites who endorse and excuse violence every day. Refraining from celebrating doesn’t mean tolerating bullshit. bsky.app/profile/thre...

Oh no not this, I am going to have to take off my Bill Clinton Hat and return all of my Bill Clinton Coin and stop reading my Bill Clinton Bible

I love watching Aaron Rodgers get his shit rocked

I logged onto twitter today and holy shit what happened to the API it’s excruciatingly slow

This is a damning anecdote from Rep Jim McGovern. He tells me that during debate over Trump's big budget bill, House Rs privately admitted to him that it would screw over their own constituents, yet they had to vote for it anyway. Read all of it. He wrecks them: newrepublic.com/article/1999...

I’m becoming negatively polarized into an anti-anti-Burning Man position by all the wokescolds on my timeline allergic to fun

There’s an enormous amount of stuff in this book I’d like to highlight, but start with: “What emerges as the most elementary insight is that, since we do not now have any ways of making computers wise, we ought not now to give computers tasks that demand wisdom.”

the early bedtimes will continue until morale improves @jpbrammer.bsky.social

i think one issue is that this approach has proven to be a total failure. a partisan who sees the right as morally deficient will have had a better track record at predicting the events of the last few years than someone who is endlessly trying to demonstrate their nuance.

that’s not what “POV” means but you know what you’re hot so…sure

really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not

The bosses all understood this is what voting for Trump was voting for. If youre a worker and you thought it was for cheaper groceries or lower rent or access to burrito taxis or whatever you got conned

quick question for the people who shave at the gym: what the fuck is wrong with you

worst twink you know using this for the next three weeks to justify their war crimes

That's right, blame God, not years of Republican mismanagement at the state and federal levels which recently accelerated.

once more, with feeling: conservatives have principles beyond their narrow pecuniary interest and vote accordingly, just like liberals do—it's just that conservatives' non-pecuniary values suck

this is great news for Mamdani

made a friend at the bike shop today

“Make America Healthy Again” has a simple premise: Americans don’t need more access to medical care. They just need better nutrition and exposure to fewer environmental toxins. Unfortunately, Trump is A) taking away nutritional assistance and B) expanding use of environmental toxins.

Two decades of bedwetting over a country that has some mix of a lack of firepower and good sense not to engage the US in major conflict. Just what have we been doing here.

You're allowed to advocate for white supremacy in the classroom because controversial ideas should be taught! people aren't made of glass snowflake! Also if someone says slavery's legacy persists into the present that's traumatic for white kids and it should not be allowed bsky.app/profile/anth...

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

extremely cucked behavior allowing Israel to sabotage our treaty negotiations with Iran with no repercussions. for all his posturing, Donald Trump is an incredibly weak president.

Every civ-mil scholar is pulling their hair out right about now. This is so dangerous, so destructive.

Newsom could stop Trump from calling up the National Guard. He has not done so. Democrats should remember this in 2028.

The response from the crowd, "puta madre", translates as "no thank you".
