Do they even care to discuss that the so called players are all not NPC with a billionaire programming them to destroy their own life. Their only power is being used to destroy themselves. Then what happens when they realize it's not the liberals "fault" anymore. The power is going to short lived.

Ah , famous conservative ‘family values’ dude Thiel. Man that singlehandedly saved gay escort industry in SF and sucks more dick than gay porn actors guild. All while bankrolling anti LGBTQ hate. Thats some strong self hate & degeneracy. Funnily it will be ‘them’ that will discard him.

Grew up in the water there, it's the 4-8yr tourists bringing the rot, not the water or the townies.

They famously drink candy sweet liquor and Liquid Death now, afaik.

I’m pretty sure there was already a study showing the US has lead in water issues in various parts of the country.

There’s not a single thing he describes as ‘liberal’ that wasn’t used to describe ‘Rockefeller Republicans’ when I was growing up.

It makes me incandescent with rage that the gerontocractic Democrats did everything they could to suppress their activist base, to deprive the Democratic party of "live players" capable of making moral arguments on behalf of women, minorities, and labor.

Well ,ole Nancy liked making $$$ on insider info more than anything else…

And it's infuriating because what they think they're 'revolting' against is 'sometimes you see non-white/gay people in movies sometimes, and *very seldom*, trans people too.'

They don't have Concept Permanence, they think the fact that they have to acknowledge these people exist is oppression.

When I was in high school, I found a book on juvenile delinquency from the 1950s and was fascinated to learn that it's academic authors presented "normal" children as being neither *too* criminal nor too good. The ideal upbringing was supposed to lead to *familiar* behaviors like "minor pilfering."

Maybe the best thing that can happen to the WH press is to lose access. A little shoe leather reporting would be welcome.

These people are fucking stupid. I'm sorry, it needs to be said. They're not misguided, they're not centrists they are just really fucking stupid. This is what systematic nepotism gets a society. This is literally the body politic version of inbreeding causing spinal deficiencies

Nepotism and cronyism is destroying the US across the board. From corporations to government. The meritocracy has been completely dead for over a decade.

chriroch.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think part of this is a profound misunderstanding of what 'centrism' is vs holding moderate positions on specific topics.

Centrism is not a fixed value - the entire premise is triangulating a policy or position based on where they perceive the two opposing sides of an issue.

chriroch.bsky.social•7 days ago

There is no reflection of their own core values, just a hope they land at a place of compromise.

Moderates at least work from their own values, rather than in relationship to external values.

It's a cursed way to live.

The revolving door that’s formed between the DC lanyard class and media industry over the past 20-30 years (especially on the Democrats’ side) has completely blurred the line between journalism and public relations.

pluribus-unum.co•7 days ago

Not sure you can say especially given the Fox-to-Cabinet pipeline dumping out gallons of 'talent' at the moment.

thedanklark.bsky.social•7 days ago

They learned it from the Democrats, before MAGA took over GOP consultant/strategists had a revolving door with Wall Street, oil companies, military contractors, etc. The modern GOP just walked through the door Bill Clinton opened and Barack Obama blew even wider.

pluribus-unum.co•7 days ago

A little further back, the Democrats learned it from Nixon/Ailes, who learned it from the disintegrates Dixiecrats, who learned it from the Southern Bosses, who...the white nationalists have been at it as long as they've been hogging the bullhorn and bully pulpit.

Though in many ways Reagan laid the groundwork, as a former Hollywood guy he used his position to reform a lot of anti-corporate regulations that were directed at the entertainment industry.

These are careerist ladder-climbers who run on nothing but magical thinking and toxic positivity, they’ve lost any semblance of touch with reality.

Please, our friend Shiv, you are our dear friend with the kind heart. Please spread our voice, our word, and our story and stand by me and Samar, please.

Christ, the NPC meme means nothing. It's kind of funny but doesn't require any deep thought or analysis like this.
This navel gazing is meaningless pablum.

I have been using the term "intellectual incest" for a while now. Same zip codes, same schools, same cocktail parties...

Many of them cross back across the river into Confederate territory from the majority Black city to sleep at night, which seems somehow apt.

Bethesda too...

A lot of "Washington" doesn't live in "DC" and is only vaguely acquainted with it.

pluribus-unum.co•7 days ago

I grew up by the 'corpse of an amusement park' because white hate meant joy, as anything else, must be segregated.

Bethesda is a disaster now, but had amazing forest and history shattered by the various monsters unleashed by white flight, including breaking public transit.
