Does everyone have their schadenfreude right wing accounts picked out for election night? I have like three guys bookmarked, you want that set early.

You are getting mad about the Within Our Lifetime protest against Mamdani because you think it's wrecker behavior. I am ascended, scouring pictures of it for new, even more Maoist ways to spell ∆m€®|KKK∆.

I think the liberal response to this desire ("you are not supposed to look to politics for meaning and trying to provide that via political association is cheating") isn't sustainable and will lose long term. The high points of socialist (and liberal, even) movements have been able to do this.

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

Can DSA’s rank-and-file strategy rise to meet the challenge of Mayday 2028, or is a new direction needed? Join the debate on October 18th. Speakers from Marxist Unity Group, Bread & Roses, Communist Caucus, and Groundwork will debate their visions for labor strategy in DSA.

I do like when you get a no governor on the engine article out of Bhaskar

I need Chris Rufo to ask a Norwegian what they think about Danes, very badly

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

Newt Gingrich has wanted to make the Mr. Show sketch about blowing up the moon real since like 1979 so this is big for him.

Kind of insane that this guy is in charge of all of Israel's state owned corporations and also antiquities in the West Bank, that's probably going great.

This week Tennessee plans to execute Christa Pike, a woman who became so infamous at 18, her own defense attorney was planning to write a book about her while failing to adequately represent her at trial. New from me @theintercept.com:

The “Satanic Panic” Made Her a True-Crime Obsession. The Truth Is More Haunting.

After 30 years on death row, Christa Pike faces execution for a grisly murder she committed at 18.

My sister in law is a public defender and I think most people I have met who call themselves abolitionists are to her right on law and order issues? Just an odd result I keep pressing up against.

This point l overall is good, however I do want "run the damn ball" to catch on as a political metaphor for just doing the obvious right thing and that's what this is mostly about

With the Strait of Hormuz closed, Iraq has resorted to moving its oil across the desert to Syria in hundreds of tanker trucks, in true Mad Max style. From there, it will be shipped to worldwide markets.

Me and my three roommates, who are all broke enough to need roommates, are starting a bar we're calling "The Most Severely Under-capitalized Business On Earth"

marxuckerberg@marxuckerberg.bsky.social · 3w ago

Read the story about the bar and blue-hair bashing aside: 1) these people shouldn’t have ever gotten a loan from a bank 2) you can’t change society with your business 3) one of the things you learn from political organizing is how to sniff bad faith people out and how to tell them to fuck off

Why is no one having kids? GAS PRICES. Today it cost me over $100 to fill up my child

We need a separate Internet that Ted Cruz doesn't get access to where I can talk about the many Last Ditch community meetings I went to over years growing up in a Unitarian Church. I should be able to talk about how funny woke 0.5-2.1 were somewhere it will not make Fox News.

Last Ditch gotta be the greatest ROI on a domestic CIA operation in like 20 years, congrats to all agents and students of advanced clowning involved.

Ben Shapiro doing a whole episode about how Islam is "incompatible" with the West and a lot of it is about how Christian expansion by conquest was actually better.

i’m sorry but you don’t begin your argument with “fe fi fo fum” unless you’re arguing in bad faith

Highly recommend, especially if you're too young to remember how insane the country became for several years and arguably remained to the present.

If nothing else, this book deserves your attention because it refutes what is becoming an alarming consensus talking point in the center that 9/11 brought out the better angels of our nature - a delusional distortion of reality that is true only for one value of "our."

A fantastic book about living in the world (and the culture) 9/11 made was published a couple years ago and I felt fortunate to review it. And disappointed that the book didn’t get the attention it merited. newrepublic.com/article/1852...

I was today years old when I found out that the Mandarin that the American English expression "gung ho" is based off of literally means "industrial cooperative". I am passing this information along in the hopes that someone will write the thinkpiece that this deserves en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gung_ho

It feels spiritually incorrect that they are bringing Erewhon to Chicago. Is this revenge for sending guys from the Midwest to become comedians in LA? How many improvisers do we need to take back to halt the project?
