My 4-year/old just learned about the concept of infinity and is now throwing a tantrum over it. “It’s weird! I don’t like it. I just want numbers to stop!”

I shit a lot on the Phantom Menace, but it did accurately predict how most journalists would react to fascism
microsoft funds genocide, fills their dev pipelines with ai slop and throws all the people who actually make the video games into the street. i cannot imagine, even if you are politically sheltered and just want your treats, ever buying and supporting an xbox game. theres no future here
A thing worth saying about El-Sayed winning is that every very publicized win like this for a Progressive convinces 100s of other good people to run for all kinds of stuff.
There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.
JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

Graduating high school before ChatGPT is like having a brain made of recovered steel from warships old enough to not have been weakened by atomic bomb isotopes.
this is neither here nor there but reading this made me think about how most adults very clearly remember McDonalds having a dollar menu and Dollar Stores selling loads of stuff that only cost one dollar
for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.
The media's takeaway from an El-Sayed win is the same as it would have been from a Stevens win, and the same as it will be if El-Sayed wins the general, or if he loses it: everyone, no matter who they are, needs to take several steps to the right.
I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50
PLEASE take it from this local weed grower with a LOT of experience with herbal remedies: DO NOT FUCK WITH KRATOM. It is as addictive as opiates and completely unregulated. Just look up people's experiences with Feel Free from Botanic Tonics, the company mentioned in this story. archive.is/QHqsV

again stevens losing with $60 million in ad spend suggests to me that she might actually have been a very weak general candidate

Congratulations @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Outspent 11 to 1, Abdul proved that people-powered campaigns can still beat big money. Michiganders chose hope over fear, and a future rooted in dignity, justice, and opportunity.
It's "Electability" season once again so let me just remind everybody possessing this incredible power of foresight to tell us something useful like November stock prices.
Per their statement, AIPAC is committed to backing anyone who puts the interests of Israel above the interests of working people in the USA. Even if that means supporting Republicans. This is why AIPAC sucks. Because they think they can buy our government. Fuck AIPAC. We need to win in November.
we need a real plan to stop racists. asking people to fix their hearts isn't going to work without pressure. one thing i'm a fan of is making the targets of bullies and bigots harder to mess with. don't let people just say shit about muslims or trans people or migrants. don't nod to avoid conflict
