rebels? in *my* Praetorian Guard???
don't tell your mom you wrote this or she'll cancel you
bedbug stephens is a republican you paint-huffing pieces of shit, fuck his "advice"
This is what I mean when I talk about why all of talk of a modus vivendi or a negotiated surrender is futile; the driving engine of right-wing politics now is grievance podcasting. What they want is to have access to modernity, and also to be frothing with fury and hatred towards it at all times.
"about to?" we found out 3 dead boatloads full of war crime victims ago
you see, if I was ezra klein this is the kind of thing i'd want to know before i started running my big dumb typing-mouth

Jeff Merkley is one or Oregon's two senators and I thanked him via his contact page this morning!
I imagine they forfeit their pension if they do
(this is really funny; since I have your interlocutor muted, I can only see the responses, which only serve to underscore why I muted that class of posters to begin with lol)
you fucking rock Pablo, great episode
This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt. Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.
I sent an email to Vanity Fair customer service making fun of the fact that they hired Olivia Nuzzi, and without intending it that email generated a ticket-#, which is nice. :)
I read it and it is indeed hilarious
lol I have no idea what that idiot said and i'm not curious
Cisco likes to add an extra challenge with their documentation by proving themselves repeatedly incapable of making websites!
@wyden.senate.gov -your missing signature is why I'm supporting your primary opponent
what kind of nerd sends an RSVP to an anti-government protest is my main question
great place for a clandestine affair
this just makes me think these celebrities' offspring are dumb as hell
This was a 9-0 decision last year
My top complaints about API documentation have always been 1. too much of it, 2. not sufficiently confusing/self-contradicting
You work at a library, Nemo??
i've been taping fliers to lightposts saying "don't get the ESPN app!!" all week actually
shut it down or shut the fuck up
shit, I didn't know that! (the word 'shit' in this context is synonymous with 'lol') I did a quick search and apparently Glenn wrote an essay about why he left WaPo that got the same number of "likes" as when my mom posts "merry christmas" on facebook:
Glenn Kessler should be getting pelted with tomatoes literally the moment he steps out his front door. He should be covered in red goop before he makes it to his car.
Fact check: @glennkessler.bsky.social is terrible at his job
rolls right off the tongue
I've a thought I can't quite articulate, but it's something like: how do you rebuild the system when this regime falls- as it will, eventually - when the thing you need to rebuild is adherence to law, the very adherence to which will prevent you from fixing the things these people broke.
Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’
The primary diff between writing fiction and nonfiction is when you write nonfic, you research a topic for 2 weeks and then write 1000 words on it and when you write fiction you research a topic for 2 weeks and get one sentence out of it.
you know, if you just put your kid's shit up there with magnets like a normal fridge-haver then your problem is solved 🤷
(i know, shaddup!)
"Nono, we're a BOOK podcast. So put your dumb little marketing shit in book-form like Michael Shellenberger and you can have a spot for FREE. 💖"
whoop, he did a header on the dismount again
if this technology only works if/when men don't interrupt it then u just wasted $800,000,000,000
“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”
listen to the hippo:
I would like to thank @jeff-merkley.bsky.social for listening to his constituents on this
The thing about both Fetterman and candidates who use this messaging is this: it's kinda hard to campaign when you can't go out in public without getting pelted with tomatoes by the exact voters you're attempting to court.
this quote, if we take Ezra's defense of his previous column seriously, reduces to "Donald Trump is doing politics the right way." bsky.app/profile/ezra...
this is really interesting!
I feel this in my bones, and take it as a personal call-to-action. This is of course orders of magnitude more challenging without someone leading it, which is why so many people are quick to flock to blow-dried weirdos like Newsom. IMO people are desperate to be led.
Same thing goes for the demands that Democrats as a party embrace economic populism BTW. It’s a pointless demand as long as the relationship between party and voters remains essentially one of marketers and consumers.
my thing is am I really supposed to believe that, after all this time (a decade?), EK never bothered to learn a single thing about Charlie Kirk beyond the bare-bones marketing euphemism of "guy who goes to colleges and debates students"? dude gets paid pretty well to know less about politics than me
of course you clowns would ask the torture memo guy
gotta keep those hands up duck
if you write it i'll read it!
"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.
oh, people understand that, just not the people you put in charge, dipshit
P.S. Why am I going on about Ezra Klein? Fair question! It's because people in his position are public negotiators for the rights of people not in his position. That's what his platform and his reach endows him with. And I don't want anyone negotiating for me who doesn't comprehend the stakes.
jerusalem demsas remains undefeated (at sucking ass)
boy that's not very much money...
oh man this is totally gonna screw me up tomorrow on my quiz on the actual malice standard within defamation law! :(
what decade do you think this is?
So they disregarded another district court, explicitly this time?
I think it's less to do with comms and more to do with these being quite literally the dumbest people on planet earth
imagine being 41, and your last real job was nearly 20 years ago, and spending all your time railing against "elitists" lol
I actually had the same thought a while back, so I perused his wikipedia page and learned the last time he "had a real job" was in 2006 (19 years ago!), last year in the military 🫡
Do you think it's a mistake to view Ezra Klein's piece praising Kirk as a signal that he thinks Democratic elites ought to take "scientific racism" as a "legitimate debate topic"? Because that *really* takes us to 1930's Germany...
DeVito in his prime was drowning in pussy to such an extent it was ruining his life
Pledging with their whole chest on the U.S. becoming a member of the International Criminal Court and ceding jurisdiction over the prosecution of war crimes and human rights abuses has fast become a top-3 prerequisite for me for any future democratic nominee. Short of that and we're just doing comms
sure sounds like a concentration-camp to me...
I think people might underestimate the extent to which Jeffries' *staff* are also gigantic pieces of shit. When this all comes out in the wash, these people ought to be unemployable in Democratic politics
no offense but you should try hiring at least one person for your social-media team who was born *after* the Carter administration...
i'm kinda floored tbh. good for her
(this is an excellent post, but as a former/reformed mod, I'd follow yg too, he's an intentional trouble-magnet)
The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”
@tinakotek.bsky.social
there's a reason people who rap professionally learn the words first, sorry about your dead clown tho 🫶
just them huh?
if this isn't your job it should be [complimentary]
This 100%. You wouldn't believe the hagiography NPR was doing on this racist clown this afternoon, while Oregon's Democratic governor is flying flags at half mast 🙃
(ahem, *disorienting, thank u)
this possibly ranks as the truest thing I've ever heard an American Catholic bishop say. it's frankly a bit disorientating! good for him!
Wait. The same Clay Higgins who suggested Twitter execs would be investigated by the FBI and jailed for doing basic content moderation... is now demanding that social media accounts be banned for life?
"Republicans Roll Back Filibuster on Party-line Vote" will be the headline on nytdotcom any second, i'll get a push notification
Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened
also, the NBA podcasts covering this are basically unlistenable because the hosts are so damn credulous
of all the NBA owners Steve Ballmer's head is the most basketball-shaped, there i said it
oh it's Dennis from It's Always Sunny, that should've occurred to me actually...
I can't believe Mark Cuban was wrong lol, makes me question what other obvious shit he's wrong about! 😮
lol at those who wanted to make this clown veep

no one in china buys their shitty, overpriced cars lol
This is true of so many aspects of our political enconomy, one might call it "forced credulity"
checking the news today is like walking into a buffet a mile wide that only serves various stylings of shit
oh you're in trouble now. if your day was a 3 before prepare for that number to go down lol
don't worry, if you're lucky you'll be able to use this site again in 6 months without everyone calling you by your christian name (presumably Incel McIncelius) 👍
love that the flunky dipshit calls them "regional" courts - the word you're looking for is appellate, dumb motherfucker
It bears mentioning that the people who read the Daily Wire are so hopelessly gullible that a list of their subscribers and their contact info is worth thousands of dollars to people who sell lists to online scammers, organized or otherwise.
who is on the byline? :)
student walkout now
seriously, listen to Petrarca, all 15 of you need to stop watching CNN immediately!
SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool
