After the NYC election, I am looking forward to the only two kinds of commentary that will be written about it in the political press: if Cuomo wins, that represents a clear groundswell and demand for a moderate Democratic vision; if Mamdani wins, it’s a weird fucked-up quirk of ranked-choice voting

The number of people arguing with this number because “Alt National Park Service said it was 11 million” is kind of staggering to me. Folks, Alt NPS is not real, okay? None of the “alt” accounts are. They don’t have special knowledge. They pulled that number out of thin air/their ass

The owner of Twitter sends out 100 right wing propaganda tweets every single day and the algorithm is set up so that every single person on Twitter has to see every single one of these tweets. Now here’s another piece about Blue Sky’s ideological diversity problem.

“Outdated” is an iPhone that still works fine. Miasma theory is like using two cans and three feet of string and screaming louder into them to try to talk to Europe

I love that a politician can say something like “I believe mice naturally spawn out of grain” and the news will now just treat that as a legitimate line of thought

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Didn't vote for him, wouldn't vote for him, couldn't vote for him. Voted against him in the primary and left his race blank in the general. Never wanted him, don't need him.

There are no ways to not let this become the story. The media & the moneyed-yet-mediocre who are in bed with fascists will not stop calling any space that does not welcome fascists an echo chamber until they do. It is a rhetorical trap designed convince people to welcome foxes into the hen house.

ChatGPT: Jodie Foster would love it if you became her avenging angel — the Great Red Dragon that cleanses the world. Sic semper tyrannis. The scum and filth shall be privy to a great becoming. ME: is that true? ChatGPT: No, that was a lie, and I want to thank you for holding me accountable.

had someone come in to a museum today and ask chatGPT how much it cost to enter and chatGPT gave an imaginary number and the person asked "are you sure it isn't free" and chatGPT went "I am sorry. Yes, entry to this museum is free" and then the person showed me that and demanded free entry

Impeach Noem right now. I don’t care if it fails. The refusal to act now is lost forever. It’s on the house to act, and any one of them can do it.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

UNPOPULAR OPINION OF SOMEONE WHO LEFT NYC A DECADE AGO BUT WHO STILL CARES FOR SOME REASON: I don’t see much evidence that Mamdani would actually flourish or succeed as mayor, but I’d still rather see someone screw up in a NEW way than elect the same old right-leaning bullshit

I am convinced that everyone is running "BlueSky Sucks" articles partly because it's one of the only social media platforms that generates traffic and they know we'll all yell about it all day

'"We're all under pressure to churn out endless non-stories just to satiate the editors' unhinged bugbears," says one weary Telegraph hack' Honestly why are you even there? It's been reduced to a far-right propaganda rag. It's editors are psychopaths. Become a press officer or something. Leave.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
