We need to also be ready for the fact that we could be a few cycles away from a party headed by people with every bit of Mamdani's youth, energy, and rhetorical talent who would fight everything he stands for just as hard as Cuomo

One of the problems with being on this app is that, while the delusion that Trump is a competent administrator is the one destroying our country, I encounter "the Dems are doing all they can to oppose Trump" far more frequently

About as useful as a condom made of beeswax

This is even worse than what I would have guessed. The highest support for war with Iran is 25% with self-identified conservatives. 51% disapprove. Every other cross tab is more opposed. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

Just as stupid then, but support for the war is in another universe now as evidenced by division from Tucker's ilk. Like you did need a strong spine to oppose the Iraq invasion. It doesn't really seem like you do anymore but this country is ruled by such invertebrates that it doesn't matter

Still haven't gotten over the surreality of the lead of a show I watched with my mom growing up becoming a regular Chapo trap house contributor speaking against crypto

came up with a diabetes pride flag today. it's the colors from the packaging of a bunch of different insulins

I'm not in favor of light rail, only Faster Than Light rail

anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane

A debate at city council last night about a budget amendment to increase fees on Uber/Lyft users led to this memorable exchange. Novick said he regretted allowing rideshare in Portland, Zimmerma bashed TriMet as “city’s largest homeless shelter," then Morillo had choice words for Zimmerman.

I'm afraid that wasn't very Roll Pios of you

This is still a really good article

Good.

Beginning to think "lying" and "hallucinating" are actively harmful terms to describe what AI does. They imply a level of Independent motivation and inner psyche that is just non-existent from what I understand

Nother defect of this app is that Andor season 2 is fully out and Ben Mendelsohn hasn't once asked me if I've been talking to the cops on here

A bit surreal

"Not a valid group" my ass

“chicago pope” is one of the shows jack donaghy greenlit when he was tanking nbc

I think the only tenable route to not consider him the singularly most responsible person for the 2024 loss is to admit he wasn't lucid enough to be making the bad decisions

Everyone watching Pierre Poilievre eat absolute shit in Carleton and respecting Canada's bilingual culture.

Canada gets far too much credit for a country that would probably be completely collaborating with Trump if he'd carved them out of the tariffs, but it was a pleasant surprise that he fucked this up so bad

my hope is that AI can empower the Dumbest, Least talented slobs i know to replace everything i ever loved with One Million Years of Content

You can just block Will Stancil I don't see the point anymore

Sitting back and hoping your opponent presents themselves as unacceptably reckless and stupid was an incompetent strategy for 2024 Democrats but a perfect fit for China rn

Muntadhar al-Zaidi's absence on this app is deeply felt by me

Idk to what extent you can extract positive values from the founding fathers, but they really did not have a high opinion of the average human being living within their power

Bonk

Life imitates art.

Janelle Bynum is one of these Dems

How is this real

Two things are clear to me: 1. Threats don't carry weight if people don't believe you'll actually do it 2. Volatility is completely immaterial to financial and diplomatic decision-making
