Michelle Obama: "listen to your doctor, eat some fruit and go play" RFK Jr: "eat this roadkill and raw milk instead of medicine"
Sure, but is that going to be enough to change a deep blue city overnight? They wasted their PAC money on the primary already. Mamdani will win. The donors can get on board or not.
That’s how I feel about it too - although I don’t live in NYC and I’m unsure why we all have to have an opinion about it 🙃 “No matter who” means no matter who. He won the primary fair & square & I support him. I don’t see why every national Dem needs to get involved in a regional election tho.
People need to decide if the DNC is so powerful and controls voters’ minds so much that endorsements from higher up make this much of a difference — or if they’re so weak & feeble that they must simply be challenged in primaries and we’ll have stronger candidates in the general. Which is it?
I will add: *NOBODY* WANTED CUOMO. He was a hold your nose candidate at best. I don’t see anyone trying to hold Mamdani down — it’s just, if he’s gonna win it on the base he has, let him win it. Are we not allowed to see how powerful that base is — if they show up to the polls? I’d like to.
Ok we sent our energies to the wrong spirits and hit Giuliani but it’s working guys keep going
Well yeah it certainly isn’t ideal lol. They disclosed to HR in timely fashion and all that and obviously it is a serious relationship, but the whole thing was a bit questionable.

That is kind of what I was getting at. (Didn’t get this across clearly, obviously.) I should also point out that his fiancé is an employee of their company so that tells you how little respect the hosts have for their staff as well.
It was a bizarre choice especially bc it was a one-on-one interview so it’s not like the other guys pressured him into it. And the Crooked audience isn’t even into Maher so it wasn’t for the ratings. I can’t explain it.
Remember when we thought he was gonna die from COVID? That was a great day! Anyway a watched pot never boils so I’m gonna log off social media and try not to think about him, since he would hate that most of all.
After this weekend we will know if collective manifesting is real or not
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea for sure but they’re smart and at least it’s a different perspective than four extremely privileged multimillionaire white guys from upper class backgrounds
The only greater enemy to catkind than a foot…a door.
He did try to push back on Maher on trans rights specifically but all that happened is Maher got huffy and walked out. Which should have taught him something.
Hysteria is still good. (And would probably also be better presented on a different platform.) The rest of it not so much.
…needed to happen, whatever, but if fomenting anger against everyone in the Democrat Party as a whole is what someone felt was the most important thing to do in July 2024, I gotta conclude they actually have little to no political wisdom. I reckoned he had lost it then. Mid-life crisis maybe.
I had some issues with it but I mostly respected him until he took a month off during a crucial election year to go on SURVIVOR & then came back only to yell at his listeners to go harangue their Dem reps to pressure Biden to drop out of the race. Which fine, if that’s what he believed…
…investment in the topic does not mean you are well educated on it or that you approach it in a healthy or ethical way. I think he believes he is more persuasive than he really is and that he can bring hateful people around. Which would be great if he was good at that. But unfortunately he’s not.
No worries, I realize now looking at your other posts about this that I should have provided more context (or just not commented since you were already aware of this & made good points about it.) If anything Lovett’s attitude about the subject just proves that just because you have a personal…
…there who is even attempting to push back on any of this. But frankly Lovett is not doing a great job of that anyway. Maybe he would be better on a different platform where he’s not having to apologize and provide cover for his cohosts who don’t care at all, Idk.
I also think his loyalty to Crooked Media is misguided bc the fact the other guys are so eager to do this Yglesias thing tells you they have no respect for Lovett or his partner, who is also an employee of their company. Personally if I were them I would leave. Although then there would be no one…
No no you misunderstood me (and I guess I didn’t articulate myself well). I don’t think he’s great on trans rights at all. He proved that when he had Bill Maher on his show — he was engaged then too. What I was trying to say is it would be fair to ask him why he’s debating his partner’s existence.
Well he’s certainly learned how to do nothing but take vacations every other week, so if that’s his plan for the remainder of his time I’ll take it.
Well, he is engaged to a trans person so it is kind of a relevant point if you were to debate him on the subject (and is further evidence he should probably split off from the rest of PSA, since they clearly do not respect him).
Calling misinformation of LLM “hallucinations” is… ironic Because LLM’s have learned the one propensity shared by all humans… lying when we don’t know the answer
It never happens with GOP, but too damn often in our party folks try to build themselves up by tearing Dems down. You can demand better from us without pissing all over the house we’ve built together. I’m sick of it. If you make a name for yourself by trashing the party, I’m calling you out.
Not all heroes have capers.
Devastating technique. The Hydra has, clearly, instantly fallen in hypnotized submission.

They should reimburse him for his sandwich tbh
It’s what they bonded over, I guess? Their bromance lasted longer than made any rational sense, but maybe the fact they were (initially) getting a lot of mutual ass-kissing from the Venn Diagram overlapping portion of their respective cults helped keep it going as long as it did.
True. He is one of the most pathetically addicted to praise people that has ever existed on the planet.
This is unfortunately why many of us didn’t take him seriously! I thought he’d spend his life wanking off, buying expensive toys and talking nonsense about colonizing Mars. I think he would’ve stuck with that & not ramped up to trying to control geopolitics if not for the drugs.
(And most “visionaries” only even pull off the “make a lot of money” bit once or at most twice in their career & spend the rest of the time flopping hard, but once or twice is enough to impress some people I guess.)
Yeah I used to think that word meant people thought someone was visionary about y’know actual ideas & products, but turns out it’s C-suite code speak for: visionary about what will make a lot of money. Who knew.
…I’ll leave it in, whatever. The book authors were difficult in general and it was a minor point not worth quibbling over. Haunts me to this day. To be fair I don’t think anyone could have completely predicted this guy would go from average super-rich jerk to ketamine-fueled government destroyer.
😬😬😬 I edited a pretty bad book maybe 10 years ago that was about how to enhance your business leadership style & it called Elon “visionary”. I was like, I suspect this is not going to age well, but whatever, this guy probably isn’t going to do anything more terrible than accumulate more $ and die…
Well yeah good point 😅 but I was talking about the global business class as a whole, which is who is writing/reading the puff pieces about him. Most of those guys don’t know what’s happening on the Internet. I assume the Silicon Valley/VC CEOs are well aware but are also gooning.
He has two fanbases: 1) teenagers who are also gooning & are impressed by cheating at Diablo, and 2) CEOs who are mostly not online, are narcissists who pay very little attention to anything but themselves, and are thus out of the loop enough not to know about the gooning.
solidarity to all the single women who are about to get hit with a “so I see your favorite singer is getting married” text at 120 mph tonight. you’ll get through this.
we do not publicly shame cybertruck owners enough
sorority sisters, non cis-ters, bitch
True but also…his wife (and children) not being white is the main reason MAGA will turn on him. The most extreme of them already hate him. He has to be careful to make sure if he did this, his wife will not be seen as responsible (although in reality I agree she would encourage him to do it)
Yeah I was gonna say this is the only reason he’s not doing it now. He’s just hoping the guy drops dead so he has no “betrayal” to answer for.
This is counterintuitive to my soul but I wish he had more hobbies & activities he actually enjoyed. There’s pretty much just golf, and he can barely do that with his congestive heart failure. He needs some more incentive to quit.
Hard to say. Unfortunately he might be like his dad and want to cling to the pretense of power until the bitter end :-/
The last time troops policed America was in the 1770s. We fought a revolution against that king, and wrote into the Constitution the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments to prevent it from ever happening again. Pass it along…
Bit of a problem here in that when there’s a disaster your Internet tends to not be working? 😬
Mamdani's #ZCavengerHunt shows what politics can be when it's rooted in joy and community. We deserve leaders who uplift our neighborhoods, celebrate our culture and invite everyone to play along, rather than stoking fear or division. This is the energy we need.
Thirty-four years ago, the Ukrainian people courageously declared their independence and right to self determination. Today, we are called by our shared principles of democracy and liberty to stand firmly with Ukraine, and to support its efforts toward a just resolution.

It pains me that Tipper Gore & Hillary Clinton were (respectively) correct decades ago about so-called “gangsta” rap and violent video games — I never would have thought it — and yet…here we are having to face it. Undeniably.
Is it time to admit that Snoop’s work was always very misogynistic (specifically steeped deeply in misogynoir) & in fact, very conservative in its own way?
Yeah I totally understand why some fandoms don’t want to move bc of technical reasons (no photos/videos in DMs is a big hindrance) but seeing how toxic the fandoms have become is a great argument to making the move anyway. And there’s even not a lot of substantial discussion happening on there
I still think all we need here is longer character limits per skeet, better gif library, group chats, and photos/videos in the DMs to pull over all the (non-cray cray) fandom people over here and that’ll be that.
Also someone in the IWTV standom on X apparently decided to send Jacob Anderson & Sam Reid sex fanfic about themselves? 😬 Anyway I got those TALAMASCA cast announcements & Sam tossing his hair gifs & logged out.
Even the fandom stuff on X is not enjoyable anymore bc the proportion of terrible people there has increased. I last logged in to see content from the INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE panels at San Diego Comic Con & immediately learned there’s a fan scandal bc an IWTV stan on X doxed/swatted another one 😬
I still have my X account for checking on fandom stuff (as many fandoms have not yet migrated here en masse) & let me tell you if you have deleted yours…nothing meaningful is happening on there. There’s no discourse. It’s Matty Yglesias & Jon Favreau patting each other on the back, pretty much.
PSA: Blaming people not in power for things people in power did is a good sign the propaganda is working and you need to take time off
For sure. Class consciousness, ethnic diversity & women’s rights are all key to the plot!
Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)
Now we’re talkin’ 👏
“I don’t care what anyone says, I like that movie”
Thanks, this just reminded me to cancel HBO Max now that THE GILDED AGE season has ended & won’t be back for 2 years 😅 Sometimes I look at my subscriptions & think how do I have 5 streamers when at any given time I’m watching exactly 1 current prestige show + rewatching my queer media faves again?
Trans people were this site’s early adopters and continue to be a huge part of it. J.K. Rowling won’t ever show up here because there aren’t enough nazis to applaud her. Coddling the miserable little cretin’s fee-fees on this platform is a pathetic thing to do.
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
Been a while since I read 1984, what chapter is the one where they discuss this? Send the language down the memory incinerator!
Supposedly but given how little information has been released about the situation how can we tell if any of that is true? (I know they’re allegedly minors and their identities cannot be released but even just the details are so scanty it makes me doubt all of it)
Same reason we never found out the name of the kid who punched Richard Spencer. Leftists know how not to get caught.
Happy Birthday to the phenomenal and inspirational Tori Amos! Here is a recent reflective interview with her. #musicsky #toriamos #BOTD
Seriously between the Cracker Barrel boycott & the Sydney Sweeney Nazi poster girl ads I am forming a theory that since MAGA are an essentially cultureless people they are reduced to championing commercials & brand logos since they have no actual art to defend. Think about it.
Would have made a great sexy country song metaphor sung by one of the pop-country crossover girlies if he hadn’t ruined it for them

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
File this alongside the people in the mentions of every single Hakeem Jeffries or Cory Booker post telling them to “put their bodies on the line” Trying to figure out what’s a right-wing opp & what’s a liberal white fantasy in 2025 like:
Well…
Please be forewarned that looking up sexy Grimace fanwork is a dark path you don’t want to go down…unless you do bsky.app/profile/look...
Anyway if you all want to read about Grimace dick I assure you A03 has what you need. The one thing that surprised me is that you’d think there would be more fic focusing on the taste bud theme but usually it focuses more on Grimace having a fat ass. People are simple like that I guess… *smh*
I was cured of this habit when it resulted in stumbling on a Jabba the Hutt & Millie Bobbie Brown fanfic which was obviously both so hilarious that I literally fell to the floor & rolled around laughing but also obviously problematic
You didn’t ask why I was looking up Ronald McDonald fanfic but I’ll tell you anyway. During the dark days of the pandemic one of the things that gave me joy was thinking of the most bizarre things there could be sexy fanfic about and then going and reading all the fic descriptions for that on A03.
The reasons for Grimace being designed as an inflamed taste bud would require someone with more expertise in Japanese culture than me to explain. But this is a fascinating research rabbit hole that you can go down if you like bizarre things & need a distraction from the daily horrors.
This probably says more about me than anyone else but this reminded me of the time I was looking up Ronald McDonald Universe fanfic and related lore and I found out Grimace is supposed to be an inflamed taste bud. Who knew?
Anyone who is calmly posting about how elections are not going to happen 3 years from now is simply not a serious person. If this what they really thought they’d be screaming out the window not trying to rack up likes on Bluesky.
Oh, for sure. I feel like DocuSign is going to be the first victim of something like this. Like, what are they even doing offering AI summaries *at all* — especially as a default setting — on a site that sends legal forms and financial contracts 🙃 I was shocked to see it!
The problem is in a lot of cases it’s “how do I ask this hammer 17 different ways to be a screwdriver”? People don’t want thoughtless tasks taken off their plate; those are easy anyway. They want someone else to do things that require mental effort and for that you need to y’know, hire a person.
He never got over that. The other divisions in our org are still trying to make it stick & I’m pretty sure our head of IT is getting a kickback from Microsoft for how hard he’s shilling, but look, if you have to hold multiple weekly “prompting training sessions”, just admit this shit doesn’t work 🙃
😂😂😂 sometimes this shit is truly funny. It never really got off the ground with my work group bc our COO was VERY into it early on & presented it at a big annual meeting where he asked it what our most popular product is & confidently repeated the answer to all It’s not a product that we sell. 😂
(The answer to that last question is ofc “the C-suite” whose jobs mostly consist of reading emails, sitting in meetings & figuring out who to assign actual work to — all things that AI can actually do pretty well, unlike things that require thought — which is why they were so easy to sell on it)
True and I’m sure they’re all getting pretty anxious about Big Daddy dropping dead; he could drag on for god knows how long, ofc, I don’t want to get my hopes up. But it could also happen tomorrow. Many probably reckoned they couldn’t risk waiting two years & just want to do it all at once.
I hear ya, but Alabama isn’t deep blue Chicago. Some voters are more likely to vote purely on vibes or culture war issues but she happened to pick a district that’s a little more engaged
A big part of the problem here is there is no master architect for the right-wing plan. It’s just a bunch of people who all have different prime agendas sticking bills to sign in front of a man whose brain is swiss cheese, & whoever’s #1 agenda was “kill Medicaid” wanted it immediately & not later.
I have been expecting an AI fail for two reasons: - it’s extremely difficult to get the vast majority of people to adopt new behavior overnight - the workforce has already been cut to the bone repeatedly in the past 10 years; who has extra time left over to train on tools that don’t really work?
That could still happen! Or maybe she’ll stay in until the bitter end and a bunch of TikTok stans will be complaining that the Democratic primary process is rigged until they die Idk. Still hoping for the best here!
Best case scenario for this campaign has always been (for her) that she gets a little experience, graciously bows out & endorses another progressive & finds something to run for in future & for her supporters to learn that carpetbagging campaigns are not popular no matter how good you are at TikTok
