So here's the thing - a burrito is basically bachelor chow in pill form, making it the most likely foodstuff to cause discourse on the Internet
Fellas, is it good that the 2026 GOP on X, The Everything App is stuck in the same discourse cycle as 2024 Bluesky?
huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 5h agofor reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.
I have never, not once, seen someone miss the point of a question I've posed online in good faith more than this
Karoli@karoli.bsky.social · 2h agoExcuse me, but this is solely a Republican problem, created and exacerbated by Trump. Democrats would actually need power to have a solution, which they do not have at the moment.
If you are tempted to see the Sex Purge movie because of the premise, please watch this clip, which was officially released to promote the Sex Purge Movie, and reconsider
Peter Labuza@labuzamovies.com · 2w agoDo people just not write dialogue anymore? This entire scene feels like did a first draft with a bunch of "[insert joke line here]".
i'm under the impression that the spacex chunk hitting the moon is accidental which, if true, is a genuinely impressive failure in as in the context of how large space is, statistically, the moon arguably does not exist
Honest question: What's the Democratic solution to this problem? I think they need one because this is likely going to be a problem until Trump's not in office, and nobody's going to be able to put the toothpaste back into the tube.
Sky Marchini@sky.skymarchini.net · 5h agolol. lmao, even.
Live Nation cutting down Brooklyn Vegan is crazy because Brooklyn Vegan is one of the few ways I learn about Live Nation-promoted shows
I also have a very specific contempt for the kinds of people who yell "vote blue no matter who" and then turn around and try to knife the other side of a primary in the back. We're in this together and we have to learn to live with primary outcomes to win.
Cooper Lund@cooperlund.online · 5d agoI'm tired of people who feel threatened by the DSA controlling the discourse about it, because even though I'm not a member, I can recognize that the DSA's good for all of us and for the Democratic Party
This is bad, but it also gets rid of my biggest New York fear - getting hit by a bus in a way that "MUSEM OF SEX" is the last thing I see
Second Ave. Sagas@2avesag.as · 6h agoThe MTA is bending the knee to the same people who fight literacy requirements in Yeshivas because a bunch of people who live in New York City can't stand seeing the word "sex" on a bus ad. Ridiculous. 5townscentral.com/2026/08/04/a...
As long as we're talking Michigan: Has anyone ever met a Yooper who wasn't really weird? It's been very consistent in my life that the isolation up there breeds strange folk.
I biked past a dude in Williamsburg wearing a trucker hat with bleach-fried hair who was wearing chunky sunglasses and a pink women's VEG❤️N t-shirt, and I think it's fascinating that those guys exist again
The good news: Musk is finally listening to a trans woman. The bad news: it’s Brianna Wu.
Given that these are basically touchscreen Windows devices, you could do some cool stuff with this

i support [$democratic_candidate] for [$public_office] and believe that their politics is a perfect fit for [$state]. I would drag my [$genital] over [$harmful_object_or_substance] to vote for [$democratic_candidate] this fall.
Keith@mosheroperandi.bsky.social · 19h agoI support the winner of the Michigan Democratic primary as the future senator from Michigan.
It’s only 8 AM and I’m already tired of takes blaming voters for going out and stating their preferences in a primary election. Getting mad at voters, hundreds of thousands of them, for voting for who they wanted and not who you think was “savvy” is foolish.
What is truly "shocking" about the polling miss in Michigan is that it is completely average for a primary "The expected error on the margin between two primary candidates in a race for governor or U.S. Senate is a whopping 13.0 points." blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/2026-texas...
Do we really know who's leading the Texas Senate races?
Primary polls have historically been rather unreliable, and a surge in new primary voters means turnout assumptions matter more than usual

Midtown Square is just about the deadest mall imaginable, but it’s got a cool elevator and also I learned karate there as a child. They cut the Old Country Buffet in half and now it’s both a Somali restaurant where you can get camel on Thursdays and a florist. I think there’s still a gym there.

Is Madden, FIFA, and Battlefield enough to pay $1.8 billion a year in interest? We’re all going to find out!
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 20h agoEA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest
If I time it right I can go all the way to China for a thousand dollars and I’ll have access to the Internet the whole time, that’s crazy. Imaging the past was better is neglecting that you would never be able to afford to be able to do any of that.
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 17h agoSo this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary
There’s gotta be a better photo to use here, guy looks like he’s surprised he won

A narrow AES win is easily the worst outcome for The Discourse, right? Like, I don’t think it matters for November either way, but it matters for the sanity of the next three months
Played like half an hour of Big Walk and I’m already convinced it’s a GOTY contender. Get friends together and play it.
As someone who thinks the issue with Adult Catholic Converts is that they all think they’re St. Augustine: Yes
Root Beer Man@root-beer-man.bsky.social · yesterdayaugustine, as a poster, would at least run some risk of being rather similar to rod dreher
The point was that it was a surrender offering! It didn't just appear there! The betrayal of the trust of the Trojans is, like, the point of the story, especially in the movie!
Seth Masket@smotus.bsky.social · yesterday1. How long did it take to construct a detailed wooden statue of that size? 2. Didn't the Trojans have, like, scouts?
