Libby should allow for more than a 2 week loan if the audiobook is over 20 hours long.

"quote with a movie you've watched more than 6 times"? Buddy, there is no movie I've watched more than 6 times. Watching a movie more than 3 times is weird behavior. I'll allow exceptions for academics, critics and film makers.

It doesn't do the left any favors to be willfully ignoring the media landscape. A manhunt is going to play into the news cycle. Another right wing shooter who was swiftly apprehended does not. "Everyone" didn't "forget", there's material conditions to consider here

One thing about a big tent org is that if someone in DSA says something goofy like this, you don't have to tow the line.

The lack of supplies in Cuba is due to the US blockade! The US threatens countries and companies that want to trade with Cuba, and prevents anything with more than 10% US parts from being imported. The state runs grocery stores so ppl can eat despite the US's best attempts to starve them

Me in socialist company: Yeah it's great Zohran won but electoralism is never going to be good enough as a strategy and he'll face a lot of obstacles to enact his agenda Me to my lib family: What do you mean "it won't happen"? Of course he's gonna do his whole agenda! Better things are possible!

"The Democratic party would win if they embraced young socialists instead of undermining them!" Yeah and Republicans would win if they embraced free universal day care. It's fundamentally not what the party is about. These people are your class enemies. This is class war not a 360 review

You know who else is a hot young socialist running for mayor? @willieburnleyjr.bsky.social that's who! Linktr.ee/WillieforSom...

Ok there was a twist but it was kind of cheap. I'd been sus on it but dismissed because it was too simple and frankly i didn't guess the motive

refreshing to find out that some bombs are too unseemly to drop

Assuming my aunt doesn't die of heat stroke tonight because she can't remember where her (built in) air conditioner is and has no idea if it works, she does promise me she will vote for Zohran tomorrow

Mahmoud should’ve never missed the birth of his child, or his first Father’s Day, or being with his wife during countless precious moments as a growing family. His release today underscores what so many of us have said. His detention was unjust. We need to end these disappearings.

There are modern amenities that i could live without even if it would totally suck, but let me put it on the record that if there's no longer running water I'm opting out.

I'm begging Americans to understand that Academic Gothic existed before Harry Potter. Just say it's like Oxbridge every time you see a sub-fusc, ornate ass dining hall, leave that terf binch out of it

Cruz and Rubio's families both left under Fulgencio Batista, the US-backed dictator Castro and the revolution overthrew.

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.

The aide they sent in place of the no show called to say my aunt wouldn't let her in this morning... But she hasn't rung the doorbell

"Not for you." Palestinian citizens of Israel--21% of the population--are being excluded from bomb shelters on the basis of their ethnicity. This is the society the West will defend at all costs. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

90 minutes left on the Decagon House Murders audiobook. If this doesn't pop off with a twist at least as good as the "he replaced his brother" one I predicted from chapter 3, I'm gonna sue.

Sandwich Generation Stalin

My lib family often pulls this "experience" line, all the way back to Hillary. Why would I vote for a person that has EXPERIENCE doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what I want a government to do?

I think some of you are conflating protests with guerilla ops and frankly that's embarrassing for you no matter from which direction
