It is very annoying to me that you cannot argue that x person would be better than Trump without getting berated. Depending on how far left you go, you can’t even argue that Biden would have been better than Trump so… yeah if those are my only two choices I am also going with Vance
Despite the headline, this story is basically arguing “Hey, maybe it’s good that troops are in the streets because carjackings are down.” I don’t think anyone was saying “There no way this will reduce crime”! That’s COMPLETELY beside the point!!
Anyone who’s ever read even a single book on what happened to European nobility when there was a war or revolution to occupy them knows exactly what’s going on here
Yes
“The receiver caught the ball, crossed the goal line, but then handed the ball to the referee, clearly losing possession”
That’s what I saw too
Ok
Bro, thank you. In November there were two parties supporting ancient, sundowning, physically frail candidates. One party got rid of their candidate. The other party didn’t. The media only cared about the former. I’m still struggling to make sense of it TBH
How is she of all people completely unfamiliar with 4chan ?
Still reeling from Charlamagne calling Hakeem Jeffries “AIPAC Shakur”
This happened to every show for a while there. Activist knew they weren’t going to have any effect on Last Man Standing so they went after the most diverse, inclusive shows over bullshit always
What was the show about the Afghani interpreter coming to live in the U.S. and people trying to get it pulled from the schedule because guy was played by a Pakistani or some shit?
Y: The Last Man choking itself off trying to be inclusive of every gender was also flabbergasting
cummerbund
…
Oh SNAP
This is a great time to recommend one of the best shows ever made: a Korean period zombie show called The Kingdom.
You mean like that one movie where Sinbad kills the president?
Ocean’s 9 but it’s all these women suing the shit out of Meta and taking control of the company
Homer you’re a godsend. I can’t deal with these DIEHARD fans
I think the REAL story here is that Taco Bell has a Chief Digital and Technology Officer…
Dang. Ah well you’ll get em next time. Can’t complain about a 300% profit I suppose
What SHOULD the price have been?
Wai till you encounter the guys who muse about how easy and endemic life was under Stalin
These are rookie numbers we can do better
27% of the country will support literally anything so… I don’t think it is
It’s not going to crater until the economy does. Thats just the nature of political attention in the U.S. electorate
I stand with Trey!
I got a tip for the FBI about Scientology…
Well if the public hates it so much then how come the AI companies are making so much money then, huh? Explain THAT
Because by tyranny all they ever meant was “freedom to discriminate against blacks, and for the past 50 years or so, gays also”
Update: it got funny again
“Surely this young lady who majored in creative writing at Oberlin and then took a year off to travel can help us connect with the average voter.”
What the Democrats need is new guys with fresh ideas (who have also never worked a real job in their lives)
Seek God
Can anyone in economics or policy BlueSky explain why tourism from Mexico is up 14% year over year?? Am I misreading this?
Just glancing over the news today and think about how, in the run-up to the election, many publications, including my own, repeatedly and gleefully referred to anyone scared of creeping authoritarianism under Trump 2.0 as a “bed-wetter”
It would behoove the “I will never understand any circumstances vote for the current favorite for the 2028 Dem nomination” to start making a POSITIVE case for their preferred candidate because this shit does not work
Fair.
Before the iPhone X, every single disabled person was basically in Dachau
Not my point at all but good for them
I am once again calling for a badge like a blue check but it just verifies that you are a parent and are therefore minimally qualified to talk about issues that affect kids and parents.
There are also plenty of other devices that can do that, tho I’m not sure whether that can also access Instagram. But anyways: diabetic kids were in fact able to attend school without immediately dying in the age before smartphones
This is truly insane. I absolutely must see the evidence for her claims,
This is her weirdest crusade, among many. Chaos lol.
So who is leading the charge to redistrict California and Illinois? Or does that not count for some reason?
Someone should! Just not the people trying to win an election
Link?? Book recs??
But if you actually do CrossFit you will get healthier. CrossFit’s “innovation” was just turning serious strength training into a group activity (and also making it cheap to open a gym). Are you blaming it because it’s easy for guys to “stolen valor” CrossFit?
You should get a job as a strategist. Voters love being talked down to
*your fighting back doesn’t count if you once did an ill-advised podcast with Steve Bannon
If you all are going to insist on litigating the 2028 election in mid 2025, then maybe make a positive case for the candidate you want instead of creating a list of people who you’ll never ever vote for?
Seems we have still not learned the “Walter Bloomberg” lesson. Sincerely, Pete Businessweek
You cannot understand this except in the context of the very successful campaign by prestige media for most of the last decade to render the concept of "moral judgement" illegitimate.
Insane. I am literally at a loss. I know there’s that one brewery type place. What else do they mean? A gas station?
The fact that someone from Elmhurst is shitting in OP, just… 😘👌. Buddy your downtown is anchored by a combination CVS/Panera please be fr
I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.
Someone run this guy’s stuff through a plagiarism detector please
Lived in eastern LA for 15+ years and gotta say the amount of illegal dumping is really wearing me down. I don’t give a fuck about trash from encampments—that’s a city problem. I’d simply like to walk 2 blocks in my neighborhood without having to step over a mattress or broken TV.
Odd combination of songs in my head right now: Tool - Forty Six & 2 and everything from Kpop Demon Hunters
Lady at the car wash is playing a 20 sex clip of Christian music ON A LOOP very loudly from her phone. Tempted to start playing Ozzy at the same or louder volume.
This is the first time in history that young people have done something they regretted immediately
It bothers me that you can’t read, either words or context clues, and are very confident about you ability to do both.
How do these people function and why did they all come here??
One of the more notable things about our present political moment is that former Republicans like Joe Walsh or the folks at the Bulwark have a more clear eyed understanding of political strategy than a significant number of long-time, moderate Democrats.
Her husband is the guy from S Town
Didn’t the just publish a big story on Trump Epstein on A1? (I mean the story should have been published in 2015 but…)
campaign ad cut. 0 edits required.
Eh. Depends on how badly he's owned IMO
Oh wow the "Not believing in astrology is white supremacy" lady has entered the chat. The gang's all here!
Had to triple-check that this exchange is happening on Twitter and not BlueSky but... let them fight?
Trying to imagine how Fox News would have covered it if in May 2024 Kamala Harris took a secret day trip to visit the head of CNN. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
I am as cynical as the next guy but I do sincerely believe a “Trump best friends with America’s most notorious pedophile” News cycle would have allowed Hillary tor eke out a win
The gang’s all here!
Hochman blocked me years ago. Has he completed the arc?
One reason I don't hate Yglesias as much as everyone says I'm supposed to is that, unlike many putatively leftists, he managed to correctly answer the most important moral question of our generation up to that point, which is "should you openly support the Democrats in 2024"
Somewhat remarkable that had Trump’s DOJ not botched this whole thing, the Times never would have written this story, which they probably SHOULD HAVE written in, oh, July 2015?
The least popular dudes in NYC are all convinced of their incredible popularity
The issue with this is it assumes that as LLMs get better, they will need the exact same amount of compute, so cheaper and more efficient chips will make the whole enterprise cheaper. But they will not need the exact same amount of compute…
Literally never for a whole host of reasons! OpenAI could get people to watch 3 minutes worth of ads before entering every prompt and probably still lose money
I know this is a joke but the lack of imagination by gun control advocates never ceases to amaze and frustrate me. They basically have two ideas and have been hammering these two ideas for 30 years. Guys there are lots of other things we can try!
I’d wager less that 1% of this website thinks that
CNN putting this behind a paywall is crazy
the list of things I hate Trump for is long but rising quickly is the extent to which he is making me into an Epstein conspiracy theorist
The r/chatGPT subreddit is the most frightening place on the internet
French foreign minister take note: ban everyone in the Trump administration from ever setting foot in Paris
I honestly didn’t think they’d do it. I guess I still have new levels of cynicism to reach.
Obtuse humorlessness has NO political party!

mien = one syllable mores = two syllables Fucked up situation, that
I never said it was unreasonable! I am just surprised that people want to fight about this in June 2025.
That’s not really a counterpoint. I agree! But if you’re on record as stating that there’s literally nothing a candidate could do to win your vote, you should expect to be ignored.
Ok
Sounds like a plan. Caveat: I was referring specifically the the idea of emphatically declaring, 3.5 years away from an election, that you would never ever vote for someone no matter what. 3.5 years is a long time! A lot can happen! Circumstances can change! Candidates can change! YOU can change!
What a way to go out
Wired is definitely punching way about its weight scoop-wise but overall I’d say the NYT, WaPo, and shockingly the WSJ have all done their fair share of good reporting. [ducks]
I think July 2025 is too early to be fighting about this
Never heard of them…
One of who?
Christmas Creep but instead it’s declaring you’ll never vote for someone a full 3.5 years before the election in question.
