I will vote for toe fungus before I vote for Rahm Fucking Emanuel. Find betterb candidates, Democrats. No Emanuel. No Newsom. Lead. Do not follow polls.

fascinating to see the level of reality disconnect these people have on a fundamental level if the story is "married man who runs a business starts having sex with a young woman intern he hired" how do you even begin to think "well it must be the intern girls fault" full-on detachment from reality

Shocking twist, the internet has turned the story of a cheating man into the story of an evil woman.

The lessons from Brazil and Serbia? Don't concede one inch of ground to the far right. Don't appease. Don't triangulate. Don't grovel. Don't say they have "legitimate concerns". Mobilise your base, and fight them with all the democratic means at your disposal.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

Rewrite every headline about an AI doing something illegal as the owners of the AI doing something illegal. Strict liability could end this madness.

BTW This is the same answer Gov. Andy Beshear made in the 2023 race when facing these attacks, and he won by 5% in R+30 Kentucky Its not that complicated, yall

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

The fact that billionaires can just buy an entire film distribution company that has been running and respected for over a decade to kill a documentary about their billionaire friend and nothing can be done about it is just Fuck man

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

Main takeaway from the NYT Iowa focus group is that none of these voters really know what’s going on and they barely know anything about the candidates running in either statewide election lmao

The New York Times wrote articles that were like "the impossible-to-characterize elusive politics of Elon Musk / he's lost interest in politics" right before he became *literally the largest GOP donor in history* the next election cycle. Twice. Two times!

Seriously, though. American school children have been taught that tariffs are generally a terrible and economically damaging idea for 100 years. Then one dipshit president just started insisting that his minions should say they're great, and they agreed to do it. That's the actual story.

do you people never find it humiliating to be the caca peepee poopoo agitators. obsessing over the piss holes of strangers. worrying about what the gal in the next stall is packing as you shit in companionable silence

That's great. What about the women that would be uncomfortable sharing a restroom with a trans woman? Because that's still most of the -extremely progressive- women I know. (I don't know any MAGA women)

…what in the fucking fuck is an ‘open world football game?’ Like, does your character just wander the earth and happen upon a stadium where a ragtag team just happens to need an 11th player??

EA Sports is working on a new open-world football game, seemingly separate from Madden and College Football. https://bit.ly/3VYyOrc

It's because the Republican platform is simple: They want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it.

Genuinely wonder what Ramaswamy's campaign guys saw in their poll tests that made them think this would work.

Airbnb went from a cheap way to crash in a spare bedroom or rent a vacation house for a weekend and turned into "what if hotels openly hated you and acted like they were doing you a favor by letting you give them hundreds of dollars to stay there, and also it's more expensive"

Caroline Haskins@carolinehaskins.bsky.social

Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...
