People saying that AES eeking out the win is the worst case scenario and I disagree. Dude was getting WAY too big for his britches in the last week. Maybe barely beating Stevens woke him up to the fact that a general election win is not guaranteed and not won partying at a pool with LA influencers

YEAH FUCK YOU MO AND YOUR STUPID FUCKING TRUCK

Petty but I want Mo Seifeldein to lose tomorrow specifically for parking a giant LED billboard truck in front of people's houses outside the Alexandria 250th celebration. Thing was blazing on every side and was so bright it hurt to look at, 10 feet away from people's windows. Asshole behavior.

The fact that I have seen no NEET/CJP discourse on here is kind of a testament to how white and western-centric this site is tbh

It's not a coincidence that there is a heavy correlation between the toxicity of our politics and the rise of influencers in place of traditional media

"Why can Mamdani Just Fuckin Lie about unpopular beliefs while so many of his peers cannot?" Mamdani's leftism is more ruthlessly (laudatory) pragmatic and power-focused than theirs. He cares less about "winning the debate of ideas" and more about achieving power to enact his will

Just realized that there is perhaps no more hilarious place to run on this than Northern Virginia, a place unparalleled when it comes to the overlap between "people" and "defense contractors" Whaddya MEAN you won't listen to our Local Small Business Owners???

Putting this line under "Ukraine" - Dogwhistle, or bad design? You decide.

I could forgive AOC for the "look at this dirtwater!" stunt because if you squint there was an actual legit issue attached to it. "Reaching out" to MAHA people and giving them credence is outrageous, borderline an attack on disabled people

Some of us have known of Climate Defiance since their founder started Sephiroth posting after Pete calmly walked offstage while they screamed at him for supposedly not being a pro-environment enough SoT around that time they were also really bad at hiding that they were being paid by Ro Khanna

Come to think of it, the fact that even Hating Old Incumbents Inc. hasn't picked up on this house race is kind of telling

Not breaking ground with this sentiment but I call this "CinemaSins and their consequences"

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

We are in an environment where Texas and Iowa are competitive for Dems and there are people On Here smugly dismissing Dem politicians who publicly say that there are previously red voters motivated by anything other than Pure Evil These states did not get entirely new electorates in 2 years!

Rachel Hallie@dazedrachel.bsky.social · 4d ago

Tbh there are people on this site who reject "there is a secret majority of Good Voters in red states who have been disenfranchised" while also espousing "anyone who has ever voted Republican is bad, evil, and unreachable" without realizing the logical conclusion (this country is unsalvageable)

there are a lot of philosophical concepts that get egregiously misused out of the seminar room (and in the seminar room, to be fair). but in terms of sheer pernicious misuse "social construct" has gotta be top 5 somewhere and it's not number 5

Channel 4 has announced documentary “The Great ADHD Myth?” It “seeks to determine whether ADHD is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder, or a social construct.”

VA's governor just restored voting rights for more than 60k citizens, a reversal from the previous governor and a reminder of VA's harsh lifetime voting ban for any felony conviction The move comes ahead of a November referendum to end this system and start restoring rights when people exit prison

Virginia Governor Restores Voting Rights for Thousands With Past Felony Convictions - Bolts

This is the only state that, absent action by the governor, bans people convicted of any felony from voting for life. Virginians have an opportunity to end that system for good in November.

I mean this has been kind of obvious for months At this point most people who use hashtags are bots imo

Well, this explains a lot of your behavior. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/b...

So the UK is now also saying ADHD is fake. Good God what is going on over there??

Again, the prominence of 'One Weird Trick' politics is genuinely poisonous to our discourse and to actual governance, especially when it's accompanied by demands that only the One Weird Trick should be considered.

My confession is that whenever someone tries to sell me a book primarily based on its magic system, it is basically an anti-endorsement for me I just don't care to read a textbook of fake physics!

The guy sitting next to me on the subway is watching an AI slop drama show on TikTok. We aren't going to make it I fear

Old politicians I like are but spry spring chickens. Old politicians I don't like are decrepit walking husks with one foot in the grave. That's just science!

one thing that will jump out at you real quick in taiwan is that this is an independent country of 23 million free people

Sometimes you forget how out-of-touch this site is with the general population, and then a lib account posts something suggesting that two lib politicians might be popular

In response to a loaded question from Fox News meant to tee up an attack on Mamdani, Buttigieg instead says "there's so much that we do in fact agree on ... people can tell that the system we have is not just showing its age, it's letting us down"

When Matthew Vines published his (bad) "I'm not queer I am gay" piece in the NYT, I wish I had seen a lot more people saying it was wrong because there is no reason to pit subversive queer people and normies against each other and a movement can and should include both

I'm not trying to be "revolutionary" or "subversive" by being trans. I had gender dysphoria, and this is what fixed it. I wanted to be a girl as long as I remember. I'm way happier now that I can be. I'm not trying to make a political statement about gender by existing.

Yet another heinous action that if a Democratic president had done it, news media would be screaming at the top of their lungs about

POLITICAL. PARTIES. DO. NOT. EXIST. TO. GIVE. YOU. A. SOCIAL. LIFE. The goal of the Dem party is ACHIEVING POWER, not be an optimal social club for secular nerds. Go join the UUC or hell the Temple of Satan if you're edgy

You are looking for a church to join, not a political party to support. But all your friends are atheists so you can't admit you're looking for a church to join.

My favorite coffee shop to work in rearranged and now most of their tables are in the back that smells constantly of egg ):
