When somebody points out that you’re behaving like a maga chud, maybe telling them to “calm down” isn’t the best way to disabuse them of that notion
"Vote blue no matter who" isn't just a cudgel to smack the left when they're undermining centrist candidates, it applies the other way around too.
I have never been more certain that I could, in fact, take someone in a fight
Dan of the Year@downwithdan.bsky.social · 2d agoHe will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"
>DSA recruiter comes up. >"Want to join our new progressive movement? >I ask: "progressive movement or religion replacement" >He's confused. >Pull out charts showing line between radical reformism and secular utopian millenarianism. >"It's a good movement sir." >Joins >Religion replacement
Never apologize for another person's interpretation of your actions. The Internet is your abusive boyfriend, it will not end well.
Come on, baby. Tell us more about how much you like Hasan and how Bernie gets to elevate whatever racist/rapist he wants because the Holocaust, you fucking ghoul
Hyde T. Voltyge@hydevoltyge.bsky.social · 4d agoI am very unsurprised you don't know what "in this case" means
It’s bizarre to “pretend” that children can still spread disease? Somebody had to interact with his children for the first time and realized he couldn’t hack it
Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 5d agoI’m sorry the chances of school age death from Covid was vanishingly small. It’s bizarre we pretend otherwise.
Personally I think people are responsible for their own actions and that attempting to hide shitty behavior behind those murder by the Nazis in genuinely fucking ghoulish and outright antisemitic. But tell us all more about how great it is that Bernie cozies up to racists all the fucking time.
Hyde T. Voltyge@hydevoltyge.bsky.social · 4d agoBernie Sanders had family in Poland killed in the Holocaust. What is wrong with you, truly?
This tolerance policy of "Oh, but they're *funny* and they have Good Poasts, so I can forgive the fact they constantly talk about Will Stancil like he's the BTK killer and Worse Stephen Miller combined" needs to end. The whole tolerance of DATs and cool kid's cliques needs to end.
In summary: Holy Fucking Shit. They managed to do absolutely every single thing wrong they possibly could and are lucky to be alive and that some of them will ever see the outside of a prison cell again.
I don't think anybody who is that a gun owner can understand just how angry I am at the absolute fucking negligence and incompetence demonstration by the Prairieland assholes.
After my parents were visiting set for the first time, I asked my dad what he thought. He said “I didnt realize, it’s like you’re building a house, and once an hour good looking people run in and put on a play for five minutes. Then they leave and you go back to construction.”
Alvaro M. Bedoya@bedoyausa.bsky.social · last wk.People think "Hollywood" is rich and famous. The reality? Film and TV is a national industry. It's a blue collar industry. And it is an industry free fall. My latest for @newrepublic.com on how the Paramount merger would crush blue collar workers who can not afford it newrepublic.com/article/2136...
It not resulting in a ban is exactly why this place will be forever juiceless
Matt Baldwin@thisbrokenwheel.bsky.social · last wk.A prominent, large-follower account & recent candidate for federal office willfully inciting a bad-faith dogpile on someone for the sake of drawing attention to her fundraiser is *gross*, just incredible noxious behavior that should result in a ban.
Unrelated, but I always heard that Bowie was supposed to have Leto’s role in Bladerunner 2049 and I can’t help but be furious at the world that was taken from us
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · last wk.Was kind of amazed to learn Jared Leto’s music sales are 15 million. I’d always assumed the music was a vanity thing and that his true passion was shitty acting.
Crazy what they’ll do instead of fixing their shitty app so I can use it on my chromecast
The Verge@theverge.com · last wk.HBO Max is putting on vertical shorts
so I just want to emphasize something here that non-media people might not pick up on: Marisa is an independent journalist and is taking on the risk of being sued by Moraff here without any institutional backing. That's admirable bravery - and also means being very, very certain of the facts.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last wk.Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:
OK, this is a particular lane of slopulism that I’m passionate about, and it’s actually really dumb and bad and doesn’t understand how groceries work at all.
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · last wk.Mayor Mamdani: Since 2019, food prices have soared at grocery stores around the country by roughly 30%. Wages have not kept up. Today, I am proud to announce a collection of essential staples that will be predictably 30% cheaper at all five of our city-run grocery stores.
Stephen Miller is a European moderate on immigration is a true and utterly unthinkable point on this site because it requires them to deal with real Europe, not the fantasyland they made in their heads.
Yu-Ming Liou@yumingliou.bsky.social · last wk.If you want to feel good about Americans (and bad about our government): Look at the number for mass migration. With our government and “center-right” party having been taken over by white nationalists. Now look at the numbers for European countries with “mainstream” governments. JFC Germany.
“The people who work in USAID, who funded it for years don’t care about it. It’s the people who demanded its abolition who *really* care about foreign aid.” The DSA have been decrying USAID as a tool of empire for years.
Mikhail Gorbaechev@mikhailgorbaechev.bsky.social · 2w agoAlso notably the Blob doesn't give a shit about USAID. To the extent anyone in national politics gives a shit about foreign aid dollars it's the left.
Don’t use a movement founded on racial resentment as your barometer for how much economic resentment you think you should feel, this is my blunt message
