James Carville gets a lot of credit for an accomplishment in 1992 that in retrospect didn't really have much to do with his individual talents, listening to him on politics in 2026 is like asking the Chris's (Chrisi?) of Kriss Kross about crossover hip hop in 2026

Pretty crazy that there was military aircraft, possibly with live ammunition, flying for hours around a major U.S. city and the only place to find literally any information about it was r/chicago

thehill.com/opinion/whit... "Morality is the basic, invisible software that prevents human primates from tearing each other apart over grocery store parking space" Said someone who thinks the worst happening in the world is that he got flipped off for stealing a parking space

History doesn't repeat but it does rhyme and if you know about 1914 you probably know what I mean

One of the most frustrating things about knowing enough Spanish to read Mexican news is that in the US, news outlets refuse to use the correct term for this, in Mexico he would be charged with "feminicidio" in the U.S. it's just murder and not femicide

He knows there are brown shirts kidnapping people and sending them to for-profit prisons where people die for lack of medical care but what he actually cares about is that he can't enjoy thanksgiving because someone wants to do a land acknowledgement before he gets to cut the turkey

Everyone thinks people complaining about late stage capitalism are uppity athletes or dirty hippies or pinko commies until the Eye of Suaron focuses it's gaze on a thing they care about and all of the sudden it's "WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS"

Google gave up on "Don't be Evil" Apple doesn't really "Think Different" anymore so you gotta hand it to Facebook for sticking with the whole 'There's got to be a better way for entitled creeps to rank the hotness of the women around them' schitck

A surface level view is the only way you could try to equate the 2020 protests vs Jan 6, it's like arguing that a red velvet cupcake and a beet are the same thing because they're both kinda red and they're both edible.

My room temp and correct take on tipping is that if you make a comfortable living you tip servers always and you tip them well because who the fuck do you think you are

Spiro Agnew weirdly gets a pass/gets forgotten because he wasn't really involved in Watergate so he doesn't get his due as one of the most malignant figures in 20th Century American politics.

I like Candace Parker and Dwyane Wade, their basketball knowledge and personalities would be perfect for a fan camp but Amazon should really just let Harlan call the games by himself with a random neutral fan who goes nuts when somethig cool happens

I have a bluesky quote post to this very skeet that will make me the most valuable influencer ever. Its not this one and it's too valuable to show to you for free but you'll regret it if you don't get in on the ground floor

This is fascism at work, the neonazis are using the righteous anger at the government of Israel for committing genocide as a recruiting tool for antisemitic beliefs, the government of Israel and their proxies are using the legitimate fear of antisemitic attacks as justification for their genocide.

This is the type of shit that makes JD so incredibly weird and off-putting. He's a bizarre mix of a smart person pretending to be dumb to try to relate with people he resents and a terrible actor who isn't emotionally intelligent enough to understand the motivations of the character he's playing

@durbin.senate.gov any word on when you're resigning? If you think you're handpicking your replacement you'd have to so incredibly stupid that you would let Republicans out of the shutdown mess on the basis of hollow promises....oh wait

@durbin.senate.gov I hope your flight from ORD to SPI is worth letting this shit keep happening you fucking ghoul

@durbin.senate.gov you just voted to make sure these guys got paid without negotiating for any way to stop this. Rot in shit.

@duckworth.senate.gov are you going to vote for Schumer and Durbin to remain in leadership? I can't offer you a big donation but I got $100 and a phone and plenty of time to knock on doors and call your constituents for your primary opponent if you don't.

@durbin.senate.gov retire now you absolute piece of shit. Bovino and crew are bragging about shooting holes in your constituents and you want to make a deal with the people who think that's a good thing. Fuck you forever you're an embarrassment to the Land of Lincoln

@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov since neither of you like taking calls I'm reaching out here. NO on the Thune deal. NO until we have actual funding that Trump can't just refuse to pay, NO until DHS stops terrorizing my neighbors NO until you can get meaningful guaranteed concessions

@tonipreckwinkle.bsky.social What the fuck are Cook County Sheriff's doing helping DHS????? Those assholes are bragging about shooting your constituents and you're letting our sheriff's aid and abet them?

Hundreds of years from now the only thing French people will know about Trump is him saying "let them eat gas"

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Can Illinois State Troopers do something about this please? @ilattygeneral.bsky.social Can you start pressing charges against these thugs?

@govpritzker.illinois.gov

Hey @govpritzker.illinois.gov I thought Illinois was going to oppose these outsiders attacking our communities not help them?

@durbin.senate.gov

@duckworth.senate.gov I know you've been very busy aiding and abetting the Likudnik genocide of the Palestinians but maybe you can spare some time to help your own party fight fascism here

And, that in turn, helps the straight kids understand how disgusting the homophobia they grew up around actually was.

He wanted to use Hegseth but Pete's resting BAC is too high to safely transfuse to a teetoller

@duckworth.senate.gov

His books are the best defense against anyone trying to pretend this shit only started under Trump or Bush or Gingrich. Phyllis Shchaffly pretended to ask her husband if she could crawl so that MTG could run

@mayor.lacity.gov

Friendly reminder that libs, whether or right or left, will always side with fascists against the people they pretend they're trying to protect

They're treating East LA like fucking Fallujah

@dimfilipovic.bsky.social mailbag question: what's going on w the Kings home/road splits? Their home record is nearly as good as the Jets and their road record is nearly as bad as the Blackhawks

Jury nullification: learn it, know it, live it.

I'm late to the party but if you love music and you haven't checked out the 60 songs podcast by @harvilla.bsky.social you're missing out. It's like if pitchfork wasn't too snobby to admit that popular songs are really fucking good

🚨NEWS: Documents show USAID’s inspector general was investigating a public-private partnership with Elon Musk’s company just before Musk shut the agency down. USAID web pages mentioning Musk’s company have suddenly vanished from the agency’s website.

Capping how much wealth any individual could accumulate would go a long way towards solving some of our most persistent social problems and it is ridiculous that it is impossible to have a serious mainstream discussion of the idea. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/on-having-...

It is amazing how well this has worked out so far, by the numbers and also just in terms of what you see at the river crossings and in midtown. No greater proof of how cowed/dorky/incompetent New York Democrats are that none of them can even find it in themselves to take any credit for it.

Trump is reportedly going to sign a piece of paper later today declaring that the federal government of the United States defines me as a woman. If there's a better encapsulation of how stupid the whole "define woman" thing is and has always been I'd love to see it.

Reminder that the "shoplifting" narrative was made up to begin with, then used to justify spending massive public funds on policing instead of funding public services. So you can't grab your own toothbrush at Walgreens and your local library was defunded over this "strategy".

Are you telling me that the guy who's been accused of chronically being drunk on his job as a TV host was able to go on TV looking all tidy and not at all like the popular conception of what an out-of-control drunk should look like
