Depending on people to be brave is not a good strategy.

ny times, the most well financed, praised news source on the planet, able to influence govts, institutions, etc: "here's some lie, dont fact check it, just trust us" me, who failed high school geometry, googling while waiting for a burger: "yeah, that's not true." www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

It’s been a long fucking day, I’m tired, and I misspoke. Let me rephrase it in a more correct way. Fuck Hakeem Jeffries and almost every other elected Democratic official for forcing me to be the one to get arrested instead of them doing their goddamn job and being leaders.

coiling yourself in knots to act like you don't recognize a sieg heil gesture because you're worried about the blowback from the "terrorist fist-bump" people is some worm hall of fame shit

It’s the 101st anniversary of the birth of Lee Marvin, which can only mean one thing: yes, it’s time to hear the story of him going home on a roof rack, utterly arseholed

I really thought 2003 Democrats with their “let’s back the war and get back to kitchen table issues” vibe was the weakest the party could get, but since the last election they’ve plumbed new depths

fascinated by how much discourse on this site is devoted to the hypothetical question of how to treat regretful or recalcitrant trump voters

Unfortunately I think many people who thought they'd "done everything right" are going to find themselves unemployed [perhaps for a long time]. I wonder how that will factor into politics.

You can tell the people in charge are smart because one of them says "What if we forced this entire nation full of people who are barely holding it together off their meds" and nobody else says, you know, maybe not?

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

I've spent my life in the centers of America's liberal affluence. If you haven't, you may not be surprised to hear that these are extremely weak people. No one is coming to save us. They will not protect us from Trump, they will not fight for anything. All we have is each other.

It should be a source of profound embarrassment that a bunch of FedSoc lifers are taking a more vocal and principled stand against the corrupt Eric Adams deal than most elected Dems.

Just a reminder that Germany was the center of scientific progress until the Nazis suppressed, drove away, or killed all the non-Nazi scientists.

yeah one thing I did not see coming is Trump speedrunning the social effects of 1989-1993 eastern european shock therapy on his first week back.

genuinely incredible that it's this high when the media most centrists and liberals consume is still insisting on "wow! nation amazed by the manly muscular moves of musk's team of geniuses" with "nerd scolds warn trump's moves may violate protocol" on A17

I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses. They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

Imagine if the entire DC media was reporting on Musk and Trump with the ferocity and velocity of WIRED these past three weeks. IMAGINE what we would know now that we don’t.

Please just fight. And make sure everyone knows you are fighting. Even if it's a hopeless battle. People love that shit. People are inspired by that shit. That is one of the singular myths that we have at the foundation of our entire culture. Going into battle despite great odds.
