Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

“we get a standalone vote on an amendment that will 100% fail so that we can pretend we tried” is maybe the single most infuriating “tactic” Dems use and exhibit A in why Schumer needs to go embarrassing and disqualifying

Great, so Senate Democrats can come out refreshed with the hot new battle plan of trying to be watered-down polite Republicans then blaming progressives and the left when this fails to rally the Dem base, fails to pick up swing voters, and gets laughed at by GOP voters.

Had any reporter ever said “what the hell are you talking about man?” to one of Trump’s dementia digressions? And then we he gets indignant and says “excuse me” they go “uhh excuse me duhh” in the doof voice?

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

The NYT Editorial Board comprises a little over a dozen writers and editors clustered around the American political center. Every editorial is a negotiation between them. By design, it cannot produce novel, interesting ideas outside that consensus. By design, it does not reflect public opinion.

i have lived a pretty comfortable extremely normie suburban life my entire 47 years and as a black man i would love to tell someone whining like this to shut the fuck up. and its even tougher if you're a woman, a minority woman, an lgbtq person, or some combination of that. shut the fuck up.

a good example of how bad the media is at handling Trump: he lies in a very clear, provable way and instead of focusing on it Terry Moran tries to move the interview along

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists. But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

The left doesn’t actually need to make every decision based on what the voters currently support or what is currently possible. The conservatives in power enacted their extremely unpopular ideas over decades of chipping away at norms and building coalitions. You can just believe in things!

Biden won in 2020 by very explicitly keeping The Left - in a time of incredible social turmoil! - on his side. Everyone understood that at the time but the centrist dipshits were enraged and have spent every second since trying to ensure they win - or lose if necessary - without doing that

I’ve never understood the protests as a way to influence Trump. I believe they’re important because they’re a way to tell each other that we’re not okay with this. They’re a way to communicate with other Americans and hopefully suppress further normalization of Trumpism in everyday life.

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

The first autism diagnosis was in 1943. ADHD traits were first spotted in 1798. The first medical treatment for ADHD was in 1937. His grandfather lobotomized his aunt, Rosemary, for showing neurodivergent traits in 1941. He was born in 1954. He’s a grifter, a liar, and most importantly a eugenicist

Everything else is going great with my secret project, but the hardware store is out of magnets. Would you believe it? Something about a trade war. Anyway, I can’t show you how well it’s going just now. Only because of that. The magnet shortage. Exclusively.

Generations of poor kids were sold the idea that taking out a student loan was an investment on their future and one they couldn’t afford to pass. Now after multiple once-in-a-lifetime economic downturns and endless avocado toast pieces those same poor kids are being targeted for immiseration.

In the not too distant future, investors are going to decide to stop sinking money in OpenAI and ChatGPT will shutter. Then all these men, who have been socializing with algorithms designed to approximate agreeable women, will have to start talking to human women again and it's going to be horrible.

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

Believing that America can or must be good does not require one to believe that America is or was good or that Americans are more important than anyone else in the world. I don't know who it serves to insist otherwise.

One thing I've learned from "In Bed with the Right" is how a lot of people went along with Hitler because they felt he was a clown who would self-implode, so they didn't need to waste political capital resisting him. Schumer should listen! open.spotify.com/episode/0api...
