I don’t know. I’m at the crossroads of “Bernie Would Have Won” and “Marx was right.”
Oh so we CAN honor sacred places and not disturb them with infrastructure projects as long as "sacred" means "important to the fictitious canon of a racist transphobic fascist's children's book series." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Please don't blame Fetterman's racism on his stroke. He held a Black man at gunpoint for no reason long before that happened. Lots of people with strokes don't become genocidal monsters. He's just a racist asshole who also had a stroke.

Don’t know who wrote this — it was posted on Instagram by “Warpaint Journal” in April 2025 — but it’s making the rounds today and is pretty great. I dream of this too ❤️
Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.
Boutros acknowledges 'mistakes' in 'Broadview 6' case but says sanctions, special counsel aren't needed

This is the dumbest bullshit the neoliberals have ever invented. “We should firebomb a Walmart while shopping at a Walmart” is just a random thing they say whenever criticized for anything.
this is actually the wife-beatingest reply possible. this is the platonic ideal of how a guy who beat his wife would respond to a question about beating his wife.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · last wk.Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."
Why is this capitalist propagandist so popular according to my popular with friends tab?
This is what “no ethical consumption under capitalism” was meant to refute. This is not a moral system. This is a capitalist fiction. Notice the trick of making capitalism blameless, making it an individualist blame game. It makes the system immune to criticism and change.
The answer here is that most of us intuitively understand that we have to stop actively doing “the stupid shit” and the AI bubble represents that.
"fart"@jonhendren.com · 2w agothe cat's out of the bag with the technology and whether its openai and anthropic running it or guys in their garages, everything's fucked forever by ai regardless. so i dont really get cheering for imminent disaster other than for hoping some asshole billionaires get fucked, that part is good.
Using the word "genocide" over and over again doesn't cheapen it, doesn't reduce its horror. Conducting so many genocides for so long that we now argue over whether a particular mass murder qualifies as one *does*.
In 2008, Clinton vs Obama in the primaries, Obama ran to Clinton’s LEFT on international trade and to her LEFT on military intervention. He governed to the right, but he CAMPAIGNED to the LEFT. That’s why he won and she lost. People have been lying about this and gaslighting since.
I think Ken Jennings is correct that volunteerist individual boycotts of the NYTs is fucking stupid and does nothing, and trying to shame people into it is worse than worthless.
The smug voluntarism individualists forget that they’re still trapped in this collapsing biosphere with the rest of us. Do they think the starving hoards they taunted are going to respect their private property claims or “rational” arguments about who deserves to watch the rest of us die.

This, unironically, is what we should be doing to the rightwingers. We should have them on a list, and hunt them, ruin their reputations, destroy their lives, ostracize them from society.
@carmenlynn.bsky.social · 2w agoThe Koch Nazis are back “A shadowy network of conservative activist groups, backed by Koch-linked dark money, is deploying hidden cameras and mass public-records requests to hunt down and destroy the careers of college professors and administrators — and it's working.”
Trump abolished the first amendment by executive order, and basically no politician or news organization really cares.

Presidential “elections” are bad. Even in theory, they’re bad. But in reality, we don’t even have them. In the U.S., we don’t vote for president. We vote for “State Electors” who then select a president by parliamentary procedure. And “primaries?” They’re purely informational and non-binding.
“Violence is always wrong” and website Terms that ban “advocating violence” are really saying that when vulnerable people are being attacked, and their safety, their lives, depend on you defending them in the face of violence…you should just let them die, and never publicly advocate for them?

I wonder how many “gangsters” and “mobsters” were actually just socialists who were framed and slandered by the FBI.
We're in Texas and we went to a Sonic for the first time in like ten years and got cherry limeades. They no longer have (a) the good ice, (b) limes, or (c) cherries. Do I even need to say that they got bought by a private equity firm?
