i want to extend my profound gratitude to The Miami Hurricane, the student newspaper of the university of miami in coral cables, florida, for creating this beautiful visual for pride month

Fallout haunted house is just literally any house in fallout

i don't believe this, don't understand why the press are playing into this game, and don't think elon musk should ever be let "off the hook" for what he's done.

Lol it's reverting to pre-RT twitter until you tap

The last eight Congressmen to die in office have been Democrats. The last time a Republican died in office it was due to a car accident. These deaths keep occurring when Republicans have a razor-thin majority and we need every vote. Perhaps it’s time for fresh blood?

Once again you have to decide if you want to do politics and pick people who can do the job or if you want to stan septuagenarians with cancer working in important positions. Because mawkish sentimentality and elder abuse has won out consistently over fighting fascism

i think that the real proof that abundance discourse is just streamer drama people with postgrads is that it went off the rails basically immediately, like when adam tooze not so subtly implied that ezra klein was in a polycule as part of his criticism of the book

my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...

This guy, Dom Lucre, shared child sexual abuse material on Twitter, got banned for it, and then Musk reinstated him. Absolutely wild to see him being treated like a real journalist.

added chords but need to modify the pad a bit

I appreciate the world at large coming around to the whole “Ken Klippenstein sucks and you should be deeply suspicious of rubes who take his stuff seriously” POV, it’s nice.

I was expecting it to take longer for the media to start to turn on him but I guess some journalists have already gotten screamed at off the record and remembered how unpleasant it is to deal with him

I know the likely answer is that because he's calling for violence specifically against trans people that the police will NEVER step in, but seriously at what point will this fucking prick face any kind of justice at all?

even the standard Dem "tax cuts for billionaires" line feels quaint now. they're not giving the billionaires tax breaks they're auctioning off government assets to the billionaires at fire sale prices and awarding them no-bid contracts

First they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak up, because the latest Rasmussen poll showed low net favorability ratings on immigrants and that gulags are a toss-up issue for suburban moms. #savvy #clever #wonk #nobeliefs #noprinciples

I really just can’t get over this. What POSSIBLE POLICY MOTIVATION could this serve? A traffic ticket from the Obama administration makes you MS-13 or some kind of dangerous criminal element? We can’t risk letting these doctors cure cancer, if they once went 63 in a 55? IT IS LUNACY

Just insane stories from the graduate school communities, students getting kicked out of the country - medical and science researchers - because of trivial, decade-old violations, like speeding tickets, long ago, paid in full

occam's razor is that the people trying to make him respectable just agree with him

“commonsense facts about sex and race”

American Universities are the envy of the world or at least were at the start of this administration.

He just does a lot of dumb culture war/media content. Gotta be honest, the most perceptive observation about Shapiro comes from this sarcasmitron video(2018)

"BigBalls used ChatGPT to determine the tariff rate on an islands only populated by penguins" should not be a legible, coherent sentence

Twitter's broken *again*...

don't do "drumpf" and "muskrat" shit in my menchies twee bullshit

Bernie has, unfortunately, absolutely terrible judgement about people, and helped wreck his own campaign through choosing incompetent staff.

God I’d forgotten how psychotic the Democratic Party Defense Squad can be. Whenever we rebuild the party from the crater it currently is, you guys are NOT invited back

Twitter's broken again...

Respected rumor mongers (who I do think would know) also believe plans to strike Iran were accidentally disclosed to Russia via signal too fwiw

Man

lol. lmao.

I think the Atlantic scandal might actually be a pretty big turning point, more than it seems at first. Not because it's the worst thing Trump has done, but because they look SO, SO stupid and incompetent. And it's an incredible reminder that this is all a massive clown show.

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

my wife was fired from her job today thanks to the senseless musk/trump cuts devastating local nonprofit hospitals all so some rich brats can get some tax cuts and make even more money via privatization of public services

Both he and you should resign and never play any role in the federal government again.

one of the things I wonder about the Biden years is how much of the elite turn against democracy -- and casting anyone who cares about anything as an annoying moralist -- was an elite desire to return to total impunity

the scandal is not that goldberg was added to the chat. that's just a dumbfuck being a dumbfuck, and sure, fire Waltz. the scandal is that a national security conversation is on a cellphone groupchat. and since no one commented on it, presumably it's a regular occurrence.

anyway, if you were wondering why David Shor keeps arguing that Republicans will never pay an electoral penalty for racism under any circumstances, this is why

This sounds like a shitpost but something I need everyone to understand is the senior civ leadership in DoD (inclusive of the various teenage nazi DASDs) literally believes this to be true, they literally think they can fund (pick a priority) because the Biden Admin had $500B in a PE labeled "woke"

they never championed free speech or fought against cancel culture, they fought for an absolute entitlement of right-wing voices to every megaphone, and successfully used the media and politicians to uncritically launder their framing

the administration arguing that the law does not apply in international waters is a very bad sign
