I shouldn’t be surprised but here I am, another GOP administration, with my jaw on the floor as I read the details of the proposed bill www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It's actually really easy to compare STL to a growing city like Nashville. Both have vibrant bar and music culture, arts, universities, lower cost of living, four seasons, public infrastructure & transit, and regional job centers. Why does one grow while the other shrinks?

A lot of my friends, family, colleagues don’t understand why I’m so optimistic about this situation. When the hammer falls, those prepared to fight for this country will outnumber these assholes a few thousand to one, minimum. We’re going to crush them like bugs.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

It’s actually relatively easy & fast to become a journeyman in the electrical union. Problem is availability of work: if there are no jobs, you sit on unemployment for months until the list clears. Know what solves this problem? Abundance 😎

One of my favorite content creators @potatomcwhiskey.bsky.social opens up about depression, the truly unhinged cruelty and negativity in the gaming community, and surprisingly, housing reform. Thank you for sharing your heart, stay strong! youtu.be/Ro3yVfE-oxQ?...

But… that’s the point. That’s why he did it. He’s a eugenicist at heart and he does not care about sustaining lives of those he sees as inferior.

The knee jerk reaction is to say these companies will immediately start fucking the environment again but the reality is they’ve already sunk enormous capex into reducing emissions and pollutants, and are subject to activist shareholder pressures that will keep them focused on long term decarb plans

This is a great thread and perfectly summarizes why voters continue to reward republicans despite seeing their material conditions deteriorate under their leadership!

Screwing over the gays and people of color for the confederate flag crowd, only to realize that crowd never shops at Target anyway. Brilliant corporate strategy guys.

In the context of human history, there is no better time to be alive. In the context of popular American music, I really came of age during troubling times...

A good start, but targeting douchebags on ATVs is easy. We need to see enforcement of basic driving laws like, idk, stopping at red lights and stop signs?!

Nothing to be scared of here in political terms. One of the least popular presidents is now even less popular than he was in his first term. People need to come out from under rocks.

Exactly this. Say whatever you have to say in order to win, by the largest margin possible, and then start an aggressive anti-Nazi purge or American government and society in the most visible way possible so these fuckers can never be given access to power again.

If Tishaura Jones was a white man, no one would question the desire to see the administration voted out due to what is very reasonable criticism of mistakes made over the past four years!

There’s an underreported stickiness of US consumer spending — particularly the top 20% — that leads me to believe total economic collapse will be avoided because, like, upper middle class Tampa Bay brunch girls will keep the engine going

Can you imagine if four people stabbed someone to death in the street, two of the killers immediately ran away and remained at large, and we all shrugged and blamed the stabbing victim for being in an area where stabbings happen all the time? MoDOT: What will it take to fix this fucking road?

The effect of 10 years of instagram influencers on exotic vacations, HGTV home renovations, and the general breakdown of personal financial literacy must be key drivers behind the fantasy where otherwise well-off people consider themselves “struggling”

Rubio will someday have to be told that no one admires him. No one aspires to be him. Everyone sees him as a gutless, dickless bootlicker who will bend over and expose himself for whomever lets him sniff power. And history will always see him as such. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

Time we think about nationalizing everything Elon has ever owned and turning them into a sovereign wealth fund to repair the damage he’s inflicted on this country.
