when a progressive politician in the US refuses to engage with culture war nonsense and sticks to the issues in an interview you get people saying "centrist dems, take note! here's how you answer this question" & yeah they already know sadly. they like the right-wing setting the agenda
@thereactioncast.bsky.social's reveal of the texts about charlie kirk being a time traveler has changed the narrative. kirk didn't get kirked. kirk got billy pilgrimmed
The insane thing about the debate about Democrats supporting trans rights is that it supposes that trans rights are a weight on the campaign, but the Democrats already have a massive anchor on their campaign which is continuing support for Israel.
really funny time for my internet to cut out

sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.
we live in a world where Coyote vs Acme is the 2nd biggest release around while the execs try to kill it off for personal payoffs meanwhile that dipshit podcast the WaPo opinions does is in like its 800th episode with 1 listener

Got 'em: The @thebulwark.com added an editor's note to the review, acknowledging that the author's direct affiliation with the Foundation for American Innovation ("the foundation shaping the tech right," according to Inc.) created a conflict that should have been forthrightly disclosed.
![Editor's note from Bulwark: 1
Editor’s note (September 3, 2026, 1:10 p.m. EDT): In a response to this review posted to social media, Gil Durán, author of The Nerd Reich, has highlighted that the reviewer, Jacob Bruggeman, is affiliated with the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI). Durán mentions FAI in his book, once, in a sentence that reads as follows: “This merging of tech and far-right networks—hosted by the Foundation for American Innovation, which Inc. later described as ‘the foundation shaping the tech right’—seemed like a live test of [Balaji] Srinivasan’s theory.” Bruggeman’s affiliation with FAI is an unpaid, nonresident fellowship (in other words, it is not his day job), and while it was mentioned in his byline beneath this review, we should have made a point of additionally disclosing it in a footnote like this.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:waplkqr2wuy2c4qbge6h6ed4/bafkreibcuvk2l4qvhmrnxzd3edhu6ncq3ljzmn42hpcijr6imlkimnowle)
Gil Durán@gilduran.com · 2w agoSomeone finally wrote a bad review of my book! Its argument: The tech bros are not fascists and we need not worry about them. Its author: a fellow at the Foundation for American Innovation (FAI). FAI's ideological godfather and treasured idol: Peter Thiel. 🫠
found this in the top posts and it succeeds in being very funny while also inducing a borderline homicidal rage

Returning from mare fair. @moonatik.bsky.social suggested I bring a sketchbook but I felt that was improper since I didn't draw. However, I still brought a book for others to sketch in and I'm happy with the results.
*putting on annoying communist hat* the bourgeoisie is concerned with control and the accumulation of capital, and then afterwards creates the moral justification that permits their material reasoning.
Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 2w agoThere are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”
I’m sure most of you aren’t watching the US Open right now which means you missed this instantly iconic moment, now available in gif form

A possibilidade histórica do Proletariado Internacional se esvaecendo em brigas de bar nacionalistas, é o cão chupando manga mesmo...
LOWρUFO 🇺🇦🇵🇸🌍@lowrhoufo.bsky.social · 3w agoIt's so funny to pretend to be centering some grand theoretical framework when your actual complaint is "they don't tip enough and complain when we want to invade them"
we have finally built the rainbow factory from the classic story 'Don't Build the Rainbow Factory'
Energizing win for (any team playing against Falcons). You really hope to see (any team playing against Falcons) have strong showings, especially against opposition like this. Again, it was a good match, and I’ll definitely continue to support (any team playing against Falcons) in the future.
i think my favorite kind of political wonk is the “centrist guy whos job is paying attention to politics but doesn’t understand anything”, easiest gig in the world. collect money from wealthy elite and just write “this just doesn’t make any sense!” articles every week
is everything just completely insane and incoherent now
