I have never fully understood experiencing joy. You expend hours, days, and weeks of your one life on earth accomplishing literally nothing. At the time you achieve joy you are neither better for it nor have you solved anything.

I have never fully understood videogames. You expend hours, days, and weeks of your one life on earth accomplishing literally nothing. At the end of beating a game you are neither better for it nor have you solved anything.

if a bunch of progressive candidates run and lose, that's proof their approach doesn't work, and so we should keep the wise centrist leaders. if a bunch of progressive candidates run and win, that's proof the party is doing well, and so we should keep the wise centrist leaders

people who give schumer and jeffries credit for victories that they either had nothing to do with or actively worked to prevent really piss me off. any success their party is having is happening despite their efforts

I get it, doomerism can be annoying but there was a literal coup attempt in 2021. Not unheard of to be frightened about a dismantling of democracy. I dont know who this poster is, so I'm just screenshotting, don't want to be combative.

We are TIRED tired. We’re past converting people, coddling people, and convincing your racist and bigoted meemaws and peepaws that the collective WE matter. No favorites. No putting politicians on pedestals. No hero worship. We did our jobs getting them in there— SO. MAKE. THEM. DO. THEIR. WORK.

And also fuck this “too big to fail” shit. No more wasting time w/ political theater. If they dont do what they were elected to do make their lives as hellish as possible. Aint nobody got the time patience for the prev shit anymore not that time or patience ever should have been given to begin with.

Celebrate — then hold everyones ass to flames. All dems combined. If they don’t prosecute all these assholes to the fullest, abolish ICE, rid us of data centers/AI, stop funding Israel, and protect Trans and Black lives then what is even the point. No backsliding. No Fettermans or Synemas allowed.

I am so fucking tired of "seeking justice" being framed as "getting even." Arresting and/or impeaching people who are legitimately guilty of actual crimes is not revenge. It is justice. Innocent people should be released from detention and guilty people should be in prison. Again, that is JUSTICE.

Blue no matter who was always just a blatant lie, eh?

liberals have more empathy and more grace for trump voters than they do trans people who are hesitant to vote for candidates who hate us. they are more willing to do outreach to someone who voted for fascism three times before this year than to someone who has always voted D but is now hesitant

there’s no middle ground position on this. either musk is forcibly rooted out of government infrastructure or every war proceeds at the whims and dictates of a generational buffoon

I don’t vote for people who aren’t avid open socialists so I never have to participate in these silly debates. No of course I’m not voting for a transphobe. Are you insane.

For my American counterparts who may not understand the full context of what's happening here, this is deeply embarrassing for Adam. Danielle Smith is the skidmark of Alberta, a premier (governor) who is vastly disliked across the country.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 4w ago

My first stop was Alberta, the only province not boycotting Californian wines. I spoke to provincial leaders about the importance of the Canadian market to California farmers and the importance of continuing close collaboration on dairy, beef and energy trade.

Lmao yes Adam, the US is our only source of wine, we are dry without US wine. Californian wines are mostly dogshit anyway. Don't know if I've ever elected to buy an American wine.

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 4w ago

Without American wine on Canadian shelves, Canadians are also missing out on tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue they would obtain from selling our wine.

It's just loser shit for losers

Alex Hern@hern.bsky.social · 4w ago

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist

If this is going to be the discourse for the next 2.5 years, I'm almost certainly deleting Bluesky.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4w ago

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Gyms for our brains

"Don't worry, we survived Covid-19, we'll survive the next pandemic too!" First, thats not how that works. Second, millions of people died.

I love all these fuckin conservative boomers patting themselves on the back for saying shit like "I've voted conservative all my life, but I know Mark Carney is the right guy for the job." like Mark Carney is any further left than fucking Harper lmao

Today's reminder that the UAE is currently engaged in a genocide in Sudan using weapons they receive from the US and Israel and money they receive from our tourism dollars, and every celebrity who lives or vacations in Dubai or Abu Dhabi is knowingly funding it.

Tech dorks freaking out about sentient Ai eliminating humans when we should actually worry about an inept text prediction algorithm running air traffic systems.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

Hey, I notice you're trying to influence political candidates during an election. That's really inconvenient, politically speaking. Wouldn't it be better to wait until after the election, when the candidate has everything they need from you, and you have zero leverage?
