I gotta know what the man on the street thinks. I wanna drink what the man on the beach drinks.

The anti-Intellectualism here is you insisting we have to let gun perverts gatekeep discussion of gun control.
She specifically called you a gun nerd. You're being a pill, you know it, just let it go.
lol, are you for real
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
You said something dumb. Just stop doubling down.
Okay, so you mean she ran somewhat to the right of HRC/Biden on immigration but you said she ran to the right of Trump and won't admit you got carried away. Immigration is the issue that Trump's still above water on by the way. So proffering that has the reason she lost is also dumb.
Nope, I am correct. Posting an incorrect article from the stupidest political reporting outlet - and that's saying something - doesn't change anything. No one ran to the right of Trump, and certainly not on fucking immigration. This is embarrassing for you.
No one tried to run to the right of Trump
You're allowed to admit this woman is stupid. There's millions of stupid people and we need to protect them from themselves, they're still stupid though.
Maybe you would like yourself more if you didn't get ridiculously overwrought about nothing.
"wah! I'm not getting credit!"
All doing the exact same sputtering "oh, oh, I guess I'm supposed to hate my dumbass fucking kids now according to Miss Internet" tells you a lot.
You being dim is not evidence
I'm not participating in your flaccid attempt at rhetoric. You get the joke but you need to do perforative Dad Rage and it's fucking pathetic
Why are you playing dumb
Why are you playing dumb
Get a life you fucking weirdo
Hey, Alan, notice you keep writing her name like this unnecessarily. Are you possibly have some weird gendered based rage out for no fucking reason?
It's an artifact of non-profits/interest groups/NGOs attempting to sound serious and adopting corporate language. Since "the groups" are overwhelmingly progressive/activist, that language is now ironically coded as Lefty.
Euphemism treadmill.
He knows that. You're missing the point of the observation. People find academic jargon annoying and 'unhoused" gets mocked as "woke". So it's funny the centrist/practically Republican is saying "unhoused " whereas the Leftist is using what normal people say, "homeless".
Underrated aspect of the Ted Bundy case has always been that before he started killing women he was literally a GOP activist
Netanyahu had a not unreasonable fear of going to prison before 10/7, and needed to stay in power to avoid it, so I figured we would basically be here. The Iran escalation less so.
That's probably what leadership was thinking but they're not dumb. A bunch of murderous young men with guns killed a bunch of people, surprise, surprise. I think they ultimately suspected the IDF would ventilate a lot of their guys faster than they did.
You are confusing "vote blue no matter who" people with "elected Democratic leadership members" which seems to be in the service of dunking on a guy in your head.
I do think he makes some really valid points about coalitional dysfunction for the Democrats, too bad it turned him into the Centrist Joker.
Got to disagree with you about the Weeds, though. A not insignificant part of that podcast was Matty routinely calling Klein a sucker for taking Republicans at face value. I found Kein earnestly wrestling with Paul Ryan much more annoying. Matty insisting they're just evil liars was refreshing.
It's a combination of - he's now a complete doomer and he blames progressive interest groups (not exactly "the left" but that's how it gets coded) - he doesn't have an editor anymore
They're unknowingly making a defense of Bush since he's net positive due to PEPFAR. So maybe this game of trying to own the libs with "raw death" is stupid.
He was a star quarterback in high school but they connected over a shared passion for photography. He had to give it up because Big Al doesn't hire sissies at the Ford dealership.
Yeah I was thinking you weren't being fair until this reminded me this piece was from Ferguson, not BLM. Context changed (Defund) and so he way overreacts to "police are nice".
Remington is 60% white. What the fuck are you talking about?
A dump in a flood plain is a bad idea for a lot of reasons. Remington is *also* in the White L and the current drop off spot is next to a Burger King and mostly empty semi-induatrial buildings. Also this doesn't *add*, it's moving it.
It was particularly bad, though, particularly in Britain.
The bosses all understood this is what voting for Trump was voting for. If youre a worker and you thought it was for cheaper groceries or lower rent or access to burrito taxis or whatever you got conned
"Who Dares Wins" - Tuesday night trivia guy
I think Trump distorted your scale here. When he pledged the 10% tariffs, everyone knew it was bad for the economy; then he did Liberation Day, just to back off back to 10%. That may make the clowns at the NYT think Trump "moderated" on tariffs but the next Dem is going to take the free win.
That's your comparison? Some steel tariffs as a sop to Labor? That's extremely different from the tariff regime Trump just installed.
Any Democrat is going to push the "economy good" button, no idea what this guy is talking about.
Nah, I think the next Democratic president is going to take the free GDP boost.

The degree to which it has become normalized to know everything about your child's life, in the name of combating a safety threat that barely exists, seems like a much more obviously mechanistic explanation for kids being anxious than "something something phones something something"
I saw "Biden will pardon Trump" 1000x
Yeah I'm not building and/or maintain a political coalition on my dumb little Bluesky account and neither are you. The difference, apparently, is that I don't suffer delusions of grandeur.
It's not intractable. It could float away in a generation. It could not. Every religion, ideology and culture has always seemed permanent until it wasn't. The Coexist bumper sticker people can handle it, we don't need to baby them.
Do we need "to get anybody on our side" all of the time? Even in a throwaway Blue sky comment? It's dumb. You know it's dumb, that's why you did this meta criticism and not a real one. Why can't atheists spout off 1% as much as every religious person ever, constantly?
No they weren't
* makes a claim about secularization while ignoring the history of secularization *wah, why are you yucking my yum Fucking children, the lot of you
Yes the intellectual history of the West since the dawn in modernity is relevant to the current state of America in 2025, dum dum.
Nope
The Atlantic is refusing to publish my article entitled "I Tried All the Scams in the Dead Prez Song 'Hell Yeah' and Here’s What Went Down." Huge missed opportunity to amplify a growing group of marginalized voices (scammers) in the public square.
@wanda.bsky.social I'm looking for surfing bulldogs but I don't see you
Communitarian Christianity looks like Progressivism if you squint so this is true for economic progress. For social/cultural progress, it's been dependent on making religious people believe progress didn't contradict their beliefs despite it manifestly doing so.
But like every Christian "progressive" you are condescending. I'm condescending but didn't pretend I wasn't. I just told you that you are wrong I didn't pretend you just can't understand.
*You* are much more common than me. I suspect it's *you* who have absolutely no idea what I think. You are basically the default American but you're acting like there's a code I can't hack. Your beliefs are pretty dumb but benign in the current climate.
I do understand. I was interested in learning, then I learned and understood. Your beliefs are not compatible, which is fine, most people's beliefs are not compatible. Christian communitarianism looks like progressivism if you squint. What's weird is that you think you are special.
If your time scale is 2010 to 2025, sure. If your timescale is 1300 to 2025 it's very different.
That's literally never been a problem with non-believers, you don't have to go minstrel show for the small number of progressives that have real religious belief.
No, I do and it's just not reconcilable with their political beliefs which is fine because most people don't make all their thoughts fully coherent. I still care about stuff despite being more or less convinced by scientific determinism.
Leftists are obnoxiously anti atheist, what are you talking about
Okay but I don't have to pretend that's good
this used to be the kind of thing we were insulated from in the US, but the Supreme Court just took a huge chunk out of those protections this term.
Like, what's the mechanism of action here? On what possible basis are you saying that? Or did you hope invoking "grooming" is just an auto-win button? If anything Euphoria, "grooms" people to be attracted to people who look like Sydney Sweeney.
Just to be clear, you are using "grooming" to mean *making* people attracted to teens? Words lose all meaning and power when you do stuff like this.
I always suspected that W was personally close to an atheist.
I'm telling the person I responded to to fuck off.
Fuck off
A reminder that the Fox News Cinematic Universe only focuses on black officials when they can tear them down. They used to mock Baltimore's Brandon Scott as a "DEI mayor" but now that homicide rates have plummeted they're just pretending he doesn't exist.
Update: apparently airport employees are telling travelers that the thunderstorm excuse is fake and Trump is the real reason the airport was shut down for 4 hours
Just admit you were wrong, it would be psychologically healthy for you.
Just skipping over the French organizer huh?
"prominent organizer from France who had multiple accounts keeps all the money" "Uh, uh, that was just like a spam bot" You fucking dipshit
It wasn't an obvious spam bot, And what happened to the vaunted seal of quality from Shah? You little fucking chicken shit, can't stand behind anything, never can admit you're wrong.
I’m going to spoil the ending and tell you that the housewife and stay at home mother does in fact have a boss: her husband.
She should stop quoting people who don't follow her, then. If you want to be a NYT writer, and you want to say "bipartisan" doesn't include Democrats, they stop repeatedly engaging with people who correctly point out that's fucking stupid.
lol, this one didn't get quoted!
Looked at the likes on her breathtakingly stupid response and it's all mid-wit professors who apparently circle the wagons almost as fast as mediocre journalists.
Think you had something there, huh
Yeah, I quoted. Are you dumb?
Actually the deranged behavior on display is claiming "bipartisan" does not include Democrats. You going to defend that one, sport?
She locks replies for people who don't follow her.
Hey, what two parties does "bipartisan" refer to in an American political context?
Yeah, you can't admit you're wrong but you also can't let it go, so you keep doing this but locking replies. It's not a great way to interact.
You can't act this haughty and lock replies. You're admitting she got your ass.
No you can't
“We feel totally blindsided,” Cynthia Olivera’s husband — US citizen and self-identified Trump voter Francisco Olivera — told the California news station KGTV. “I want my vote back.”
I do, in fact, despise all people who support forced birth.
Iranians are not edge lord commies doing a death to American circle jerk - maybe do the pretense of reporting you fucking twerp.
We just bombed them but you want them to still like us. Fucking babies.
welcome to Bluesky, where randos helpfully inform Ilhan Omar of the existence of racism and sexism in the US
Fuck you
This isn't a scoop. You gave anonymity to a notorious racist, you dipshit.
