Election season is a lot less stressful when you know what each party is about, and stop being obsessed with personalities over ideas.

“‘He would get in trouble and just—nothing ever seemed to happen,’ a former Shaker Heights High School classmate and baseball teammate of Miller’s told Politico in 2021 for a story that documented no fewer than four arrests between ages 18 and 22 on criminal charges…” prospect.org/2026/08/11/m...

I definitely went to school with a guy like this. Lots of money and powerful parents who blame everyone else for their kid getting in trouble because they decide it is just normal kid stuff.or that their precious kid must be falsely accused.

Based on the attract screen, you won't see the name of this 90s arcade game coming...

Lol US flag officers aren't as well read or competent as Cadorna was. We built a military of Schörners, and we will go to war with that army of Schörners.

Calliope@calliope5431.bsky.social · yesterday

Again, "there are mountains" is a problem for US logistics, but we do not live in 1915 and US O-10s are not Luigi Cadorna. It is in fact possible to go around or over mountains in 2026.

"Can you read a topographical map" is also one of the great filters for people who talk about a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

Alistair Davidson@moh-kohn.eurosky.social · 2d ago

You, a genius: "If the US had popular support for a ground invasion, the Iran war would be very different." Me, an idiot: "God that's a lot of big hills are you quite sure?"

People, don't fall for this subtle indoctrination anymore. Chamberlain is correct. Egging Czechoslovakia on is criminal.

The Browns QB competition features the three people you meet on X these days: ➡️ DeShaun Watson: Unrepentant misogynist pervert. ➡️ Shedeur Sanders: AI-generated wish-fulfillment avatar. ➡️ Dillon Gabriel: Hasn’t figured out that he’s in the wrong place yet. too-deep-zone.ghost.io/quarterback-...

The Browns, Falcons and Vikings illustrate the old adage: "if you have two QBs, it means you are totally boned."

Just a reminder that simply disbanding ICE will result in a mass exodus of these men into other security services at best, or outright banditry and insurrection at worst. You can't just disband and walk away.

There was no era of American socialism, my dude. Literally every moment America has existed at the same time as socialist ideals, it has stood against them, outside of WWII when it was forced to support socialists to keep Germany from taking too much power.

Millennials, who never lived through an era in which there was widespread socialism, are soon going to find out about the heavy-handed socialism of the politician they worship.

the poverty in which Charles Bronson was raised was profound and this story is wort my hearing

Republican campists leftpunching a campist is an example of pot kelling kettle black. You really have no moral high ground to claim give your median foreign policy views on Middle East.

Remnick: So we shouldn't send weapons to Ukraine? DSA co-chair Megan Romer: No! Remnick: So, just allow Russia to overrun Ukraine entirely? Romer: We should be sending huge teams of diplomats. We should figure out how to negotiate.w

“Who wants to get rid of the status quo” “Who wants to give up their rents gained from the compromises made to achieve the current status quo”

It's amusing to me that the Republican Party was the group that drove me away from fascism, and the Democratic Party was the group that drove me away from any thoughts of liberalism.

Guys just one more personnel change just one more and then our systemic problem will be fixed I swear bro we just need new eyes on it come on bro just one more

Don't forget that the Democratic actions of 2021-2024 were their direct response to a right-wing mob trying to outright murder them at the Capitol. That's the measure of their resolve.

It is a humiliation, and it will lead to a worse global position for the United States and its allies/vassals. But hey, guess what? We did it to ourselves. We don't get to complain about the unfairness of the war we started for no reason is going so poorly that now our opponents want concessions.

Gareth Watkins@garethwatkins.bsky.social · 3d ago

I think that the tiny number of people who are actually in a position to make geopolitical decisions would make better geopolitical decisions if it wasn't widely believed that a country of 350 million people will be collectively humiliated if they stop a really stupid and weird pseudo-war.

Gentrification is inevitable as the amount of housing stagnates, prices go up, and the poor are steadily pushed out of any urban areas considered valuable enough to live in. You can get mad at gentrification, but it's not the disease, it's a symptom of the disease, which is refusal to build homes.

Plan for Deadlands today is as follows: 1) Have gang of Maze Pirates show up and start muscling people in town. 2) Have ostensible authorities refuse to send additional aid. 3) Force players to make deals to get help to get rid of the Maze Pirates.

The "trade union consciousness" is one that actively breaks apart the working-class, creates a group of less-exploited workers who are moderately comfortable, and still keeps a sizable underclass that can be brutally exploited by capital, but now with the support of the labor aristocracy.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 3d ago

Lenin’s “trade union consciousness.” Real material improvement for workers is bad, because it makes them less likely to violently revolt. In other words, “the people I supposedly care about should suffer more, because it makes me more likely to get more power.” Among the reasons Lenin Was Bad.

1/ Why do other Europeans so dislike Russia? Russian drone developer Alexey Chadeyev explains that it's not because of anything the Russians have done to their neighbours – far from it – but that it's simply the result of "the very fact of their existence." ⬇️

Trump agrees with a startling number of people on this site.

Trump: "They say 'Social Democrat.' No, a Social Democrat is a communist."

Not choosing a side in class politics is still choosing a side in class politics. It's just choosing the side of the class that wields the most power.
