This smug gleeful piece revels in scolding the dumb libs for being cringe and caring about things. It welcomes fascist Trump’s Ukrainian surrender and insists resisting against fascist Putin is impossible. People with seething contempt for EU liberals but resigned acceptance of fascism are fascist.

It's hard to laugh at it but a kind of bleakly funny throughline in all this is that it's being overseen by people who 1) have never had any kind of real job, 2) don't know what these particular jobs are or might entail and haven't asked, and 3) are absolutely convinced that they are fake.

We're gonna look back at the media covering up Trump's senility in the runup to the 2024 election as one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the last century. Will be a defining feature of his presidency and get worse as the term goes on.

Seems like this email could severely backfire, in that it demonstrates the utter toothlessness of DOGE’s absurd directives. The question that kills DOGE has always been “Wait, are you the boss of me? Says what law?” and now Elon is forcing a lot of people to ask it.

people keep telling me Dem electeds aren’t reflecting or articulating our frustration and anger but I think Smith gets it

This is the ultimate dick boss move from Musk - except he isn’t even the boss, he’s just a dick.

Even the unitarians can’t agree

This is insanely misogynistic, depraved shit.

you are a leftist who's really a liberal i am a liberal who's really a leftist we are exactly the same

So, the federal judge who the DOJ told that Elon doesn't have any authority got the demand email from Elon?

I hate when a narrative is reinforced by factual events

Make comics. Actually make them and FINISH them and MOVE ON and make another one and another. Start small. Make a one panel comic. Make a one page comic. Make a two or three page comic. Make a five page comic. Now you've really learned something! Keep going.

“Young People Don’t Want Sex And Romance In Their Games” and the top 10 up and coming Steam games are stuff like anime dating sims about a werewolf woman that has sex with people and eats them.

I told OPM what I did last week

Christopher Miller is the Executive Director at Naval Sea Systems Command. VADM James Downey is the commander of Naval Sea Systems Command.

Two weeks from now the crew of a nuclear submarine are going to see this email and the subsequent one firing them all.

sirota sephiroth-posted "we are going to go all the way to the convention with a plurality after the moderates fail to consolidate then dare them to blow up the coalition by not making me the candidate" and immediately thereafter the moderates consolidated. this is compared to murder

A world in which normie libs are intensely furious at Democrats for rolling for the GOP is very fertile ground for leftists to win power, but it's also a world where "Democrats and GOP are the same" is *intensely* counterproductive messaging. Leftists can win lib voters now, but they need to try.

There's a big part of the left that just fucking refuses to accept that Bernie lost in 2016/2020, and it's keeping them from analyzing what he did wrong so they'll win next time. Bernie made MANY mistakes, and went out of his way to antagonize left-curious libs, who see him as weak on the GOP.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

cgp grey being so reddit that he makes a video celebrating Trump unilaterally deciding to discontinue the penny & goes off on a big spiel about how this is *technically* legal is so on brand Also that he was too much of a gutless coward to say his name. Only says "The President"

People make excuses for this, but there's an extraordinary lack of civic virtue in this country.

They're gonna run away from their town halls so quick

Biden shows the extreme good and extreme bad that an old hand President can achieve

Trump take medicare

there is no one in Trump's inner circle who has a view of politics as being constrained by polls.

this kind of shit made sense back when musk was still widely admired and seen as non-political but the most recent polling shows he's hilariously unpopular, like 10-15 points lower than Trump's own low approval ratings. People hate this motherfucker! You don't need to clear your throat first

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

this is not where you want to be in the opening stages of your project to bludgeon the American population into submission so you can destroy their government

people treat writing like it's some magical thing given to you by god but it's a skill like anything else. The more you do it and the more you read the better you'll get at it. We need to obliterate the idea of 'talent' cause it mostly isn't real bsky.app/profile/yolo...

I am also feeling this.

This needs to fucking stop... @safety.bsky.app

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

This actually fits right into the Republican worldview that it’s somebody else’s job (usually the liberals’) to protect them from themselves. Like I think they really do believe this

oh hey it's NITW's 8th anniversary for all who celebrate
