Dear elected Democrats, STOP TRYING TO PLACATE MAGA VOTERS INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN!
"The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends, 'T is not too late to seek a newer world." We need not always mourn what is dying. Fairly erudite. More than fairly iconoclastic. I adore Jade.

Dear elected Democrats, STOP TRYING TO PLACATE MAGA VOTERS INSTEAD OF YOUR OWN!
It still boggles me that so many elected Democrats are more concerned with placating base MAGA voters than they are in placating base Democratic voters.
That is correct.
I've learned that even most small tasks are not something an LLM can consistently do right.
Whhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?
Honestly, anyone who brings AI-generated slop into a professional setting needs to be kept in a holding cell overnight as a "don't fucking do that again" slap on the wrist.
I think it means that someone online is trying to lecture me on denotative and connotative definitions in imperfect syntax.
(hangs head) I don't know any industrial whatever bands. I am culturally inept.
People obsessed with this country's "heritage" are violently opposed to ever actually addressing its real heritage, so all they're left with are consumerism and symbols chosen for their plausible deniability. Imagine claiming the Cracker Barrel logo as your birthright.
Aaaaaaaand you're a Russian troll.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
I understand that it can be very helpful to know that the exiles kept their cultural identity alive by adhering to, and refining, a nationalism centered on a specific place and mythic past. It doesn't make Adam & Eve real, though, nor any of the other stories they invented (or cribbed, honestly).
Dear Trump/Epstein apologists, You can't pay a minor for sex. They can't legally consent. There is no such thing as an underaged prostitute. By definition, they are victims of sexual assault.
If it were 1066 they would be catching arrows with their face and presumably still single lmao
Neither did Gilgamesh or Achilles. Calm your tits, Ivan.
Yes. But they're not history.
A fervent Jew talks of Christ? Pfffft. Obvious Ivan, your "I'm pretending to be Jewish to get screenshots of antisemitism" is wearing thin.
Jews are great. Get your history about 'em right, Cooter.
Bruh. Both the Babylonians and Assyrians famously kicked the living shit out of the upstart city-states of what is now Palestine and dragged the inhabitants off into exile.
Pfffft. Judeans didn't exist during the Bronze Age, Boo-Boo Bear. They only emerged after the Bronze Age Collapse's arrival of raiders and settlers from the sea destroyed the previous city-states of the area. LIKE JERICHO.
You've been shaking your itchy ass at him FOR WEEKS???? Bruh. Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. Log off and go find your dignity.
Since when did he start talking shit on dickless Russians?
And have fun with the original flood story that the Pentateuch scribes totally fan-fictioned. www.worldhistory.org/article/227/...
Here ya go, Cooter. www.worldhistory.org/article/225/...
K. Compared to the Mesopotamians, the Iron Age Judean hill country folks were just babes in the woods... specifically they were plagiaristic babes in the woods, stealing whole swaths of their nationalism from nearby, much more ancient, and much more advanced civilizations like Sumer or Ugarit.
What you did was link to a Wikipedia page like a little bitch who never went to college and doesn't actually know shit. Let's not pretend that the backwater settlements of the Judean highlands were ever a threat to the empires of Mespotomia. You might as well pretend New York's scared of Scranton.
Maybe mind your own fucking business, then? Do you, like, not have a job? Or is bitch-internet-troll your actual employment?
Jericho's one of the oldest settlements on record. It's been built upon over and over again, like most ancient sites. It's definitely a real place. The story in the book of Joshua, though, is ludicrous fiction. You might as well have thrown a great wooden horse into the narrative, for fuck's sake.
He's. Not. Going. To. Take. Your. Anal. Virginity.
Moses is as real as Achilles as Beowulf as the Monkey King. Myth is myth. Cope.
He's desperate for engagement from you. He's not critiquing in good faith. He's just some bitch-loser-boy, almost certainly not an American one.
Dickless social media trolls aren't "men," Billy Bob Mikhaelovich. It's not that you're a third gender. More like a... non-gender... somehow.
(raises hand) I'm definitely more concerned with mocking you on the internet. You're making it so fucking easy, Cooter McRuskieFarm.
Your "what can I say to get a rise out of this guy" is getting desperate at this point, Trolly McBitchfeels. Like... did you learn how to internet from 2015 Twitter? Because "you mad online, bro?" is a little like "where's the beef?" or "wazzzuuuuuup?" these days.
Ooh! Ooh! I can say whatever defamatory thing I want about you? Excellent! You need to stop fucking the neighbor's dog. It's not right. The poor thing is traumatized.
Bruh, the Exodus is a fiction. The oldest parts of the Old Testament were a nationalist mythical narrative constructed by Judahite hill country scribes to make their backwater city state feel special. The Moses story never happened. Not a shred of archeological evidence for any of it. Pure myth.
Lying is literally Constitutionally protected. Jesus, you're bad at this.
So what I'm hearing is that you're definitely not an American and didn't know about federal holidays us Estadunidenses live our lives around.
Hey boy, Ody here. I'm tagging in, partly because I like the guy whose leg you're trying to hump, but mostly because I'm a sadistic bastard who loves it when evil stupid people try to pretend that they're also evil formidable people. I'd love to hear about your legal threats for myself. Go, bish.
Odd. I'm pretty sure that, as a father, protecting my children is all I think about all day every day.
Jesus, kiddo, he's not going to put his penis inside you. Quit begging so damn loudly.
Bruh, no offense, but I can smell your try-hard dicklessness from here.
Or its opposite.
This is precisely that.
I believe we could dramatically reduce dis/misinformation if we collectively agreed to ignore any news article with a headline or lede following the general template of "[name of individual or organization] says" "Elon Musk says ..." "Experts say ..." "Trump official says ..." "Critics argue ..."
Sigh. This. This. This.
(pokes dickless troll with a stick) Hey. Be funny. Go.
It's obvious that this three-brain-celled troll doesn't even know what the book is about, much less ever read it.
Tell me you've never read The Handmaid's Tale without telling me that you've never read The Handmaid's Tale.
These people are somehow both 1000% insane and 1000% liars.
Why do you hate me so much?
NEW: A week or so ago, one federal agent kept popping up in videos from Trump's violent DC crackdown—so @jsweetli.bsky.social and I investigated. Turns out he's a 26-year-old US Parks Police officer, a lesser known law enforcement unit currently championed by Interior Sec. Doug Burnum. Our report:
What I'm sensing is a long pattern of the most performative cops also being the most chickenshit.
It took cops three hours to finally go into the Pulse nightclub the night of the shooting. If you wander near a crosswalk in Florida with a piece of chalk right now you'll have four cops on you in under five seconds.🤷♂️
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Like Shreveport, Lousiana.
The fallen system will need to be mostly swept away and replaced. We can't keep going on like this.
"I watched Snow White when I was a kid and I ain't gave a bitch a poison apple yet." is an all time bar
(Looks up from reading about Tiresias, the transgender prophet who appears in so so much classical Greek literature) What now?
She can go fuck herself. Signed, The City of Los Angeles
"I reject reality and substitute it with my bitchfeels!"
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
Yeah, the President of the United States is a child rapist and a dictator. He's also dying.
Sure, maybe ten years ago it was, for some, a considerable accusation to make – but not any more. Not for a long while. You'd have to be willfully ignoring so damn many things not to see it now. It sure AF looks like we have a pedofile sexual predator for a president. Release the Epstein files.
we can just keep saying he's dead and refusing to credit or acknowledge anyone who refers to him being alive, this will work, trust me and just follow my lead
She was always nothing more than a rodeo clown begging for attention.
The day will come when we will tear Confederate monuments to the ground with our bare hands... and not just their monuments... but their public image, that pocket of acceptability in the American imagination. That gets shredded like an old terrified witch at the hands of enchanted children.
Because it was.
Yes. That. 😁
Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
😅
How long do these assholes think they can stay there? As soon as they're gone, the community will rechalk the crosswalk like it's supposed to be.
Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:
Thank you for bringing this rat bastard to my attention. My sadism meter was running low.
It's not quite as easy to kill children with disease as it is to kill them with weapons of war, but ol' Bobby's tryin' his best.
Y'all thought we were JOKING when we said there'd be a line four states long to piss on the Mango Mussolini's grave? No. That wasn't a joke. It was a prophecy.
Going after "divisive" speech is absolutely 100% code for "in authoritarianism, only the dictator's opinion on anything matters."
Jesus Fucking Christ he IS dying.
It cannot be stressed enough JUST HOW FUCKING CRINGE the tech-bro oligarchy is.
I'm not here to tell you how to feel one way or the other about Taylor Swift but next to Disney and maybe Nintendo I think she is the last entity you want to cross legally and I hope she fucking destroys Meta
But they love guns and are terrified of the gay sex they're attracted to.
(interjects) Hi. White guy here. It's absolutely about race. SO SO SO much of the MAGA core is motivated by a belief that their ought to be permanent hierarchies in this country: male always above female, white always above non-white, rich above poor. But those hierarchies are IN THAT ORDER, too.
😏 Well, now that just feels like a challenge.
I forsee about a dozen other Orlando crosswalks getting painted in rainbow colors by the end of the Labor Day Weekend.
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
Can I call you other things?😏
(grins) You have impeccable taste.
Oh, I'm definitely not going to @ you on that one. :) Dickens is easier to read, absolutely. The flow of his syntax feels better, if that makes sense. But yes, they both are social critics. Scathing social critics. (looks around) It feels like we could use some literary heavyweights these days.
Hahahahahaha! I love it. I'm most familiar with Huck Finn, which feels like SUUUUCH an indictment of America. Every single white person in the book is hella racist, violently racist, and the narrative gets us to hope that maybe? somehow? ONE little white boy MIGHT half-figure out that Jim is human.
Not just fired. Prosecuted.
Hahahahaha! Is it a discussion you wanted to have?
"The enemies of a free society—the enemies of limited government and the rule of law, the opponents of political liberty and human equality—don’t sugarcoat what they’re doing. There’s surely no reason we should sugarcoat what we’re seeing."
