Instead of trying to "de-radicalize" your right wing conspiracy theorist friends and family, simply direct them into thinking Elon Musk is an evil lizard or alien, or whatever silly shit they believe. We can jump start the revolution one crazy uncle and Facebook mom at a time.

LA paying incarcerated teenagers 5 dollars a day to protect mansions in the Palisades, is a perfect encapsulation of where California liberalism starts and ends.

Bass and Newsom have had a lot of criticism about the lack of empathy they've shown in policies surrounding the houseless, but, I must say, after these Palisades fires, they've really turned things around for some reason.

Why does the Navy football team have pirate flags on their helmets? Feels like that's saying the quiet part out loud.

The shooter's cousin plays in MLS Next Pro, and, according to his g+ breakdown, probably should hit him up for tips.

Elon hid likes to enable Nazi sympathizers, only to have it become a major driver for hundreds of thousands of people to celebrate the death of a CEO. Beautiful irony.

Turns out martial law doesn't last very long in South Korea without US backing.

Highly recommend listening to season 3 of "Blowback" for some historical context about why it took so long for South Korea to become a "liberal democracy" and how many workers were murdered before the powers that be allowed its people to have the freedoms that said system is now trying to strip.

Did anyone have the US providing ISIS air support in Syria on their bingo card? If you follow history, you should have.

Man, I can't believe a country that started as a police state after the worker councils were abolished and communists massacred, would do such a thing.

Lionel Messi is 0-2 in MLS cups since switching to Michelob Ultra. (h/t @leftwingback.bsky.social)

A little lesson from sports about solidarity. Last year, LA Galaxy fans took action by boycotting games until the team fired the president. The team desperately tried to undermine solidarity. Used players to try and guilt fans while continuously preaching that the fans couldn't force change. 1/2

I wish Mark Fisher was alive to read to the comment section of the Hasan Piker Pod Save episode. You can see Exiting the Vampire Castle in comments trying to cancel him over, as well as Capitalist Realism in the way these MSNBC moms positively react to very basic ideas they've never been exposed to

Really not much good in all these countries declaring they'll arrest Bibi if he enters their country. Invite him over for cookies and then tell him.

These Trump nominations are unhinged. I pine for the days of Biden when he nominated good hearted people like Lloyd Austin who (checks notes) was a Raytheon board member.

Democrats will often look at something that doesn’t poll well and think “oh no, better move away from that!” but they’re getting their role backwards. parties influence public opinion. if you’re purely reactive, you’re just letting the GOP frame every debate.

The thing to remember about the democratic party is they aren't blind to their approaching failures. They are simply ideologically opposed to how you fix them. The "blue wall" was built on labor politics, however, the party, post-Reagan, is largely a neo-liberal entity. Those two can't co-exist.

Democrats have spent years carefully abandoning political positions it fears might cost them votes, each time getting closer to the ultimate goal: a political party that has zero positions and therefore cannot lose votes.

The @nytimes.com accidentally sent an internal email to the Electronic Intifada, which used it to show the internal workings of their anti-Palestinian bias. electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-wi...
