Defies description. Am assured that is a compliment. Occasionally, with truly backbreaking effort, manages to make a funny.
In a country with a president who is such a destructive sore loser, politicians who are both helpful and gracious in defeat is a greatly appreciated novelty.

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe
They’re calling it the most theater kid story of all time
Pixie Casey@pixiecasey.bsky.social · 2d agoin insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...
Been a while since I reread the Federalist Papers but I’d swear that’s not how this was supposed to work.

it's helpful to make a practice of saying to yourself, "okay, the perfect solution you want does not exist and therefore isn't one of your choices. here are your choices. here are their upsides and downsides. pick one."

I’m not saying anything new here but I really feel like, aside from making actual nuanced discussion virtually impossible in way too many cases, one of the most toxic features of social media is how it can drag you into a place where you like your own heart no longer belongs to you
Would be really cool if the organizations that could call out actual antisemitism centered around the state of Israel - migrants as pawns of an Israeli-led Great Replacement conspiracy - had not burned all their credibility defending Netanyahu and the IDF from highly credible war crimes charges.
Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 2d agoA shocking number of people believe, with zero evidence, that Israel is behind Moroccan migrants into Spain, which is just the Great Replacement conspiracy. Meanwhile, US Jewish orgs have declared war on Mamdani for accurately describing Netanyahu as a war criminal. www.haaretz.com/world-news/e...

Catching a bunch of stray references to "Holland Spidey" and have to remind myself it's not some sort of exorbitantly expensive all-boys prep school.
I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

It is funny that “constitutional monarchy” is something that can include anything from Japan to Bahrain
One day this'll be rezoned and converted into an outpatient treatment facility. Mark my words.

The number of so-called progressives on here who are happy to parrot “Muslim Moroccan migrants into Spain are an invading force of Israel,” just because it allows them to maintain “Israel is bad” as the highest political principle of all, is really dismaying!

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

I think I need to subject more opinions I encounter to the "would anyone be saying this off the internet?" test.
