#Caturday

Another example of why traditional media (which adheres to long-standing journalistic standards) cannot compete w/ the right wing media sphere, which plays by completely different rules. It's a completely asymmetric playing field. The left can't compete by relying on traditional media for messaging.

When Obama and Biden won, Republicans said “fuck them, we’ll break them” and went on to rally their base. When Republicans win, Democrats blame their left and say “we’ll work with Republicans.” And it fucking sucks.

A million years ago, this was a national scandal. Today, it is just an every day occurrence that we all tacitly accept.

I have to keep restating this but I don’t care about convincing conservatives. They’re lost. I want liberals, progressives, and people who don’t yet understand they are liberals. We spend too much time trying to flip conservatives

I am a staunch free speech supporter. But after ten years of freaking out about woke students deplatforming right-wing speakers, I don't have the energy to pivot to criticizing a fascist president for launching an all-out attack on free expression at universities.

I'm biased toward Bluesky because it's where for the first time in years I've had an enjoyable social media experience, but I also like the idea that if the protocol it's created with builds out like they hope, social media will be more resistant to rich dude fuckery www.wired.com/story/big-in...

I think it's pretty simple. Vance reasons, probably correctly, that if TV machines are blaring the words "Biden" "old" "cancer" "coverup" "decorum" that's good for Republicans and bad for Dems. It's easy for him to take the hit for being an asshole because most people already think he's an asshole.

Yup. They will desperately try to make sure AOC isn't considered a serious candidate, then if she is anyway, try to paint her as an extremist, then if she wins the nomination, will try to run a third party spoiler against her to ensure she doesn't win. Coverage will be relentlessly negative.

I am not expecting much but if it somehow works out that Trump can't accept the Qatari Trump Sky Alpha airplane he's going to be madder than he has ever been about anything, and will remain so until the moment he dies. This is what it's all about for him.

Happy #Caturday
