Well it's a super weird day since I was on this page an hour ago and it shows up on my feed now. Simulation gonna simulation.

The cattle lynchings that BJP unofficially supports are another separate question There is, quite helpfully, a Wikipedia page devoted to these now which explains what's going on here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cow_vig...

If AES wins, Schumer should do to him what Pelosi did to AOC, which was to bring him close to protect him and teach him. AOC is now a mainstream politician with a national profile. ARS could have that too, if he wins.

This is the kind of stuff that is infuriating even to normal people who actively do not care about politics. Just say a thing is a thing. Yes, Obama won. Yes, Trump won. Yes, fucking Joe Biden won. Just because Trump is the most fragile, insecure narcissist on the planet you can just tell the truth.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 15h ago

holy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!

I'm sorry, wtf?

NEW: Meta has run dozens of paid ads that include explicit, AI-generated child sexual abuse material in recent months. Some as recently as this week. "These are ads that were reviewed, approved, and allowed to run by Meta, never encountering interference while the company collected the ad dollars."

This is only tangentially related to the topic of numbers, but yesterday I read that only 7% of people in India eat beef but that is 103 MILLION people. Numbers be crazy.

There’s this weird conflation of statistical mean and outliers in a lot of this, like it is true that I am taller than most women but that isn’t actually relevant to evaluating whether I’m taller than a specific woman, and there are millions of women who are taller than me!

oh this is great

Running Double@runningdouble.bsky.social · 2d ago

There is a new YouTube show that’s just confronting hubristic overconfident chuds with limits of their ability. It is my personal cocaine. youtu.be/86KuFq9SAiU?...

Started reading this screenshot without seeing who posted it or the quote and immediately thought "huh, that sounds like @iandunt.bsky.social" after the first sentence.

Mary Clarkson@maryoxford.bsky.social · 17h ago

As a local cllr, I felt quite insulted by the suggestion that all we do is ‘deal with parking & sorting out the bins’, suggesting that because we’re so trivial it’s OK to put up a convicted anti-Semite as a prospective cllr.

Important for all Democrats to unite around the simple truth that it it’s important for Abdul El-Sayed to win his election to help make Chuck Schumer the most powerful Democrat in the country

I first heard this yesterday, and now today... maybe I need to go pick some up.

I think I did and it’s good?

Oh god they're going to negatively polarize me into loving this, aren't they?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 18h ago

JD Vance: "We don't want the next administration, whoever -- god forbid you're gonna have President El-Sayed in three years ... "

This clears the bar of "good enough." If you held out in the fall, fuck you, you deserve what you get (and we all pay the price). But if you told people that they needed to back Harris, you're on the right side of the line.

Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 17h ago

His role was key in attempted to rally uncommitted primary voters to Harris for the general

"If you came across these headlines as a non-sports fan, it would probably be fair for you to assume that there's a trans woman playing in the WNBA, or at least one at a high level in college." Well said, @laurentheisen.bsky.social. Numerically a nonissue, but manufactured for politics and bigotry.

what did y'all think “vote blue no matter who” meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers

Sean T. Collins@seantcollins.com · 18h ago

I'm weirdly upset by Stevens's gracious concession, because it makes her lie from just a few days ago that AES harbors personal animus against Jewish ppl all the more transparent. We should discourage lying to inflame tensions against two targeted religious minorities for personal political gain imo

The Republican is always bad, therefore I vote blue no matter who. bing bang boom, done.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

What I don’t understand is why so many states have such underwhelming options in this likely very blue year.

Zoomer Antimillenarian@surcomplicated.bsky.social · yesterday

The truth is, both candidates are weak and the only thing that's gonna (and is very likely to) save the primary winner is the fact that Dear Leader is dedicated to Hoovering himself and his entire party.

What the actual hell?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterday

TAPPER: One of the files you released was an image of your daughter naked. It was available for a day before it was removed. Your ex-wife's attorney says it could quality as CSAM. That's shockingly reckless behavior MAX MILLER: I wouldn't say it's shockingly reckless. There was no genitalia exposed

If AES wins the nomination, I will treat him the way I treated the last guy to secure a senate nomination after I expressed serious reservations about them. It was better that Fetterman won than Oz. That doesn't mean Fetterman's good; it means in the general, you vote for the least bad option.

In 2026 the only "lab leaks" we're talking about are when a retriever pees in the house.

Ryan Marino, MD@ryanmarino.bsky.social · 2d ago

If you are talking about “lab leak” in 2026, I genuinely think you are an unserious person who does not deserve the respect of a debate

I think this is right and the only moral thing to do - at the same time I do get a little annoyed when the far left invoke VBNMW because I have never seen anyone do it seriously, only mockingly. It's so often "bend the knee!" and not "we gotta beat Republicans, let's band together!"

This is correct and brave. 🫡 @daralind.bsky.social

I am the same way - which is why for 2026 u set a goal of listening to 365 albums and it’s been a neat experience. Some songs are better in the context of an album!

Materialist Gnostic@walmsley.bsky.social · 5d ago

I don't "get" albums. every song I listen to because I like that song. I don't think I've ever listened to an album straight through

“Democrat base”

@brandtz9.bsky.social · 6d ago

"GENOCIDE is a good thing". Gee.. I wonder why that is not such a big seller among the Democrat base? Yet here people like you are praising the IDF and Netanyahu committing genocide in Gaza, then pretending to be shocked that the Democrat base is telling your kind to go fuck yourselves.

30. The current Knicks team is lovely - it’s just most of their fan base that is insufferable. I would’ve been cheering for them in the finals if there was a way to keep their fans from finding out they won.

22. Every city’s pro sports teams should have the same colors.

Odyssey this. Odyssey that. We Odyssey ICE abolished.

If you compare their policy proposals they are the same person. Both are progressives, but only one of them is one of the most popular governors in the country.

Also- *she had high approvals before republicans spent years targeting her with investigations & propaganda bc they knew she was going to run for president.* And Russia helped. Falling for a Republican op is not something ppl should so easily admit to

politiburb@politiburb.bsky.social · last wk.

This is the truest shit Hillary Clinton ever said in 2016 and even now, in 20-fucking-26, we're still not capable of handling it apparently

Pod Save Bros are Sanders- and Warren-obsessed Progressives™️.

it feels shallow and reductive to say that trump is the cause of why things feel so terrible, but it isn’t, he really is that bad, he really has made everyone’s life worse, he is bad vibes personified and he’s been an uninvited part of our lives for ten fucking years

GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · 2w ago

i think this is (mostly) true but that it varies wildly across age groups, but it’s *most* true for age groups who are most likely to be very active on social media sites
