You know? I still find it remarkably easy to remain patriotic throughout this administration. Trump and the MAGA crowd are a repudiation of every single civic ideal that the United States is meant to represent—and I see no reason to stop believing in those ideals because of them.

Just had a "monitor issue" ticket that turned out to actually be the monitors. I'm honestly speechless.

The left missed the threat posed by Trump in early 2016 because it was focused on attacking liberalism. After the election it spent a lot of time normalizing Trump (“just a usual Republican”) or arguing that at least he wasn’t Bush. It was contemptuous of “wine moms” and their “hashtag resistance.”

They’re obviously too weak to matter these days and the overwhelming threat is the far right, but the online cool kid left is still awful and should not be resuscitated. Partly culpable for the current crisis. The way forward is a recommitment to a genuine fighting liberalism

I'm deeply torn between "this Administration will cause lasting harm to our institutions through completely ill-considered executive actions and erratic policies" and "everything this administration does is so embarrassingly amateurish they're going to have every single EO rescinded by courts"

I think my problem with blue sky, as I try it yet again, is that the people who have jumped ship are basically ALL politics people. I need my random video game or niche hobby people to show up over here before it can really emulate what was lost from twitter.

Every other social media app is owned by evil little freaks so this has to be the Big Tent website that welcomes everyone else. People who don't understand jokes. People who know it's a joke but still think it's Harmful. "To be fair," guys. Put up a statue of liberty here but it's on the computer

The thing is that this is a take that WAS true in the 80's and 90's when cheap plastic replaced metal and glass in a large amount of consumer goods. However now that has already been the case for decades we have had nothing but constant improvement since then. People's priors have not updated.

Getting haters to try and dunk on me on another app is definitely an achievement.

It's funny that people think the way to get people to stay on twitter instead of coming here is to insult them until they leave when the place they are coming from... Is Twitter.

Looking for my wrapped and this is the only thing that shows up. Is anyone else having this problem?

I hope all the people up in arms about potential tax breaks for the arena are equally enraged about a private company potentially getting tens of millions in uncompensated city land.

For all the fighting people do on the internet, I feel like when push comes to shove leftists are ready to implicitly admit that their stuff doesn’t work — Bernie caught fire in 2016 due to a weird confluence of circumstances but there’s no path forward.

Walking home in Ithaca after a bar and having flashbacks to when I would walk from West Hill to Cayuga Heights and back at night while listening to my iPod in high school. I had the lamest teenaged rebellion.
