Yet we’re the ones they call “sheep.”

upon reflection, I have to insist once more that a society interested in its long term health has really got to discourage baldfaced lying rather than constantly rewarding it

@aoc.bsky.social: "Listen, if your representative is not doing a town hall, give me a ring... I'll say it right here, right now: if a deep red Republican district wants to have an honest conversation, even if it's with someone they disagree with, I'm willing to do that."

This stuff is like the Iraq War going to hell IMO: it’s not good news, it is in fact the worst news possible, but have to face up to it and ask how we got here and who is to blame. And just like the Iraq War, Afghanistan, the financial crisis, austerity, it wasn’t blue haired students who fucked up.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

The "invade Canada, 51st state" stuff is so incredibly gross and juvenile. It's not a giggly little bit; it's being an asshole to our closest neighbor just because, well, we're assholes. And then being stunned they care! What a vile episode of stupidity and crass bombast, for no reason whatsoever.

I don't need to read it; I know what it says. Douthat: "why are you so awesome?" Rufo: "I hate schools, women, minorities, and LGBTQ." Douthat: "That's great." Rufo: "I know." Douthat: "How can NYT help?" Rufo: "Keep doing what you're doing."

The moral depravity of offering refuge to South African farmers in the United States while simultaneously stripping Ukrainians of their TPS is almost beyond my ability to comprehend.

I'm a constituent. I'll be voting for your primary challenger.

I find this attitude frankly sociopathic. Yes, in an ideal world, people who aren't fit to be parents wouldn't be. But in our world, these kids ALREADY EXIST, and shouldn't have their life chances flushed down the toilet because of sheer bad luck. They can't choose their parents.

we were good. very good. then elon and doge started selling government property for "efficiency" and inadvertently revealed our black site. not so good. we were standing there with our dicks in the wind. a lot of pissed off people, mr. garrison

You are Article Fucking I.

At least you can play some skee ball with that shit.

Trump take egg, Kennedy take chicken

We are all in the debris field of a SpaceX mishap

Bye Walgreens!

The Khan will put a worm in his ear to eat all his hair gel.

I'll take twenty in wallet size, thank you.

At my (pretty left leaning, all things considered) corporate gig, some people have pronouns in their emails and Slack. Some people don't. I don't; I've never been asked to, or pressured to. No one ever comments on it. Where is this police?

Ghouls.

Nice job totally missing the point of the myth. Only acceptable thing to say is imagine this necklace happy.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

You should really talk to your local shrink or sex worker about this, sir.

Well, at least there's some good news out there.

It’s striking how effectively republicans tied mainstream dems with random internet communists, despite the two groups hating each other, while the vice president and shadow president are clearly in a million group chats with literal nazis and people hardly notice

Go the full Stancil!

Only five votes on the Supreme Court for Article I of the Constitution of the United States bsky.app/profile/stev...

Worse than Trump, because Trump can't even understand empathy. Elon understands it, and rejects it. He's a truly malevolent soul, and a more healthy system would reject him outright.

BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS its hold on a lower court order compelling the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funding. The funds MUST be disbursed. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals. Obviously, this is huge. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

"Hey Watson, guess who? Yeah, it’s me, Aleck. How’d you know? But I was doing a voice! Did you get any sleep last night? Me neither! I was so pumped about the whole phone thing working. I know!"

One has to wonder what Little Marco thought he was getting into.

There aren't enough curse words in the world.

Booker saying he's at the joint session to hear Trump "explain himself" is so silly. He's committing overt crimes; you can see them happen in real time. His story is irrelevant. The overall Democratic tone is so bizarre. It's people talking like Hal-9000 while trapped in a room filling with water.

As long as we don't lose AOC (which... we wouldn't) this is a great plan.

This game is incredibly old, but boy, just imagine, just for one moment, a Democrat saying this about veterans. I'm sure the media will give this crickets, though.

How many years will the American people suffer? How will we know that the working people are no longer failed? If a working person suffers during this, are they also being failed by this?

Buying both a Mexican and Canadian flag so I'm prepared to greet either country's troops as liberators. Chill either way

It is the one hope for these times: that the selfishness the GOP and Trump are trying to turn into a virtue bites them as no one wants to sacrifice for the project of turning us all into peasants.

and he may not be wrong

It's bringing a zucchini to a gun fight.

I remain of the firm believe that the "masters of the universe" and their people, in the WH, DOGE, Silicon Valley, and the media, want this. They want the economy to tank, to hurt people, so that the sheep are easier to control. Or, to use a disgusting term, "NPCs.

Natalists maybe should stop and take a minute to think why their cause attracts all the creeps… but naw, you guys just keep creeping all over the place.

November 2024: Trump will save the economy March 2025: We have returned to subsistence agriculture

It sort of is a problem that a geniune social and economic issue has become the discursive provenance of guys with the worst possible vibes imaginable (not this reporter guy, you know who I’m talking about).

No one go, or all go and all walk out a sentence in, but don't sit there and give him anything.
