FFX is bold enough to ask questions like, “are we sure metrosexuals aren’t an alien plot to marry your crush who has heterochromia and is a friend to all living things?”
I’m against neocloud data centers just because I dislike the politics of the firms building them. It’s purely a hater stance on my part there’s no other reason. If you’re building out a warehouse of GPUs and the Feds are suing you for woke, you have my full support.
"but i thought president gold would lower my mortgage--" YOU STUPID FUCKING CHILDREN
i think people kinda overestimate the importance of arbitrary stretches of time as "real" distinct eras but i can't wait until this hell decade is over
Look all I’m saying is that if someone rolls up on Smallplace having killed their kids, they’re getting real killed not symbol of rebirth secular baptism killed
What’s everyone’s favorite dumb action movie (laudatory)

both Jon Ossoff and Chris Van Hollen have been opposed by AIPAC and backed by the much less awful J Street, but Ossoff is Jewish while Van Hollen isn’t so guess who gets the Evil Red Monochrome background
Sam@samd.bsky.social · yesterdaythis post really pisses me off for a few reasons: 1. People like Zenkus who treat the anti-fascist coalition as a murder-suicide pact are generally narcissistic idiots 2. Ossoff has voted against arms transfers to Israel and his donations are from J Street, which is very different from AIPAC
Come the network state I’ll be subscribing to the option with the loss leader hotdog
Alyssa Long@measuredandslow.bsky.social · 2d agoThinking a lot lately about how Costco has a lot of its own food safety standards that food manufacturers regularly try to start smear campaigns about because they hate having to adhere to them to sell to such a huge buyer. Costco is rarely on these lists though soooooo
i am not wading into “spreadsheet people” discourse, because all of you are freaks who use spreadsheets as databases and even an idealized form of ai wouldn’t save you people
I don’t think a newspaper from a country that enshrines a woman’s place as a homemaker in the constitution should talk about the excesses of woke
The Irish Times@irishtimes.com · 3d agoGood riddance to ‘Woke 1.0’, but was any of it necessary?
They don’t know how to appreciate a relentless world class hater
Salome@salome-gongadze.bsky.social · 3d agowhat is it with ex obama people and misreading the room lol? this whole thing sparked a news cycle and endless earned media, feels like a slam dunk to me
It was heartless for Trump and Republicans in Congress to kick thousands of Vermonters off SNAP – while also doing nothing to bring down sky high food prices. This National SNAP Week of Action, I’m recommitting to doing everything I can to restore food assistance for our neighbors in need.
OK. @jamellebouie.net has a great takedown of our pundit class. Exhibit 1 is David Brooks. Guess what? Yale just hired him to teach undergrads. 1/ youtu.be/46tpqFxfomI?...
The pundits have completely lost the plot

Reading responses to this there’s really just one conclusion. The contemporary left need to only use Wikipedia simple English and 3 cueing delenda est
Paul Crider@paulcrider.liberalcurrents.com · 5d agoAll the Fidel fluffing by DSA is egregious. You don't ever gotta hand it to dictators. Also, Rubio is not trying to destroy the Cuban people *as a people.* Not every war crime is a genocide. But the actual meat and potatoes of this DSA statement seems on target? www.dsausa.org/statements/d...
Gov. Phil Scott crossed a line when he urged Republican voters to try to disrupt Democratic primaries. Which he did, brazenly, in a Facebook video published five days before the primary. thevpo.org/2026/08/18/p...
Phil Scott Presses Thumb Firmly on the Partisan Scale
Here’s a screenshot from a recent hostage video political message posted on Gov. Phil Scott’s non-governmental Facebook account. And if there was any doubt about whether Scott is first …

The ag lobby really, really, really, really, really, really, really wants you to think AI is the reason reservoirs are going empty. It's not. It's agriculture.

Embargo was always evil, the current shit the Trump administration is doing is like 1000x worse, the list of things the DSA is demanding are good, Fidel Castro was in fact a totalitarian dictator, and that’s bad
1. I don’t think the small dollar donors are meaningfully different from the party 2. The scam PACs are a result of the Party not having the capacity to do the work of fundraising 3. The spam messaging and list sales are a way worse problem than either
Alan Elrod@aselrod.bsky.social · 5d agoI think I’m coming more firmly to the conclusion that the small-dollar revolution in political donations has been very bad Not only does it incentivize scamming vulnerable donors, but many of the most ardent small-dollar donors are also the most ideologically extreme. This is especially true for Rs
So we know in the last two centuries or so famines are a consequence of authoritarianism, but how far back does that go? Just, back to before there wasn’t authoritarianism?
Ah, bailiff you’ll note that the gold fringe on that flag indicates that this is an admiralty court and there are no speed limits in international waters. Now allow me consult my pocket Constitution to find the relevant clause at work and I’m sure you’ll agree I’m putting the whole *system* on trial
Doremus Jessup@doremusjessup.bsky.social · 6d agoWell, how is that tech enabled social control? I can't believe I've waded in to the debate with people who are pro-speed camera. What if I disagree 55mph is not appropriate for this stretch of highway?
We have reached the point of median voter stochastic terrorism.
Stephen Bush@stephenkb.bsky.social · 6d agoSo many things in the present moment are 'if you don't laugh, you'll cry', and that Mangione is basically just your garden variety 'I am vaguely centrist but I've rotted my brains online so I now make absurd connections and leaps of logic' but he went mad enough to pick up a gun is one of them.
