I am very curious how The New York Times, our paper of record, arrived at the claim, in a reported piece, that “many “ leading activists in DSA do not pay rent. If you can believe it, Jeremy Peters’ article offers no further details on this. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/22/n...
Folks we're very strongly summoning Yog Sothoth and maybe even Azatoth who people are saying is dreaming but we're waking him up. We're waking him up very much maybe too awake but the Deep Ones are saying "sir this is the greatest summoning circle" and we're looking into it and the straight is op
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom woke protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom woke binds but does not protect.
RE: The Atlantic, a few months after this issue a guy in El Paso went on a rampage targeting people he thought looked "Mexican"; he shot 45 and killed 23. when I read some journalists lines from his manifesto and Frum's essay and asked them who wrote which, they couldn't tell, I couldn't blame them
While it's true that these are all easy layups, that's only the case if you're normal. And the parties have spent the last 40+ years of politics selecting for the most alien creatures on earth to represent us.
Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · last wk.Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.
It's actually good to cancel military exercises with South Korea and not be pointlessly belligerent with North Korea. 🤷♂️
Accept every right framing and apologize for it. It's amazing that a professional communicator is too stupid and incompetent to phrase things positively about what they actually believe and what they actually want to get done when given the opportunity. Just a complete embarrassment.

I wonder if $6 gas is enough to get Trump to throw ships and men into the meat grinder of the straight. Do the hog 30 percent ride with him then?

Amazing Kevin Federline erasure. This is so funny in light of the much-publicized article about loser boyfriends mooching off their much more successful girlfriends. This shit hasn't been true for a very long time.
Judah Grunstein@judah-grunstein.bsky.social · 3w ago"I want to touch on what you said: .. the economic challenges facing young people impact men and women. One hundred percent true. But this is the bottom line, and I don’t think we like to admit this: Beyoncé could work at [KFC] and marry Jay-Z. The opposite is not true." I heard the record scratch.
I think a good faith reading of this impulse is that ivory tower editors at the New York Times are genuinely baffled at the typical Hog-American's decision making and want to know more. They absolutely know why left wing candidates win, and do not want to examine that all.

Pretty sure it was the Biden, Harris administration helping Israel blast munitions into the people of Palestine related to thousands of Michigan voters, Tom.
Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 4w agoI love the "nobody will remember any of this" argument, as if ad-makers didn't weaponize Harris's old statements on trans issues and blast them into Michigan. "No one will remember" is the hand-wave people do when their candidate steps on a rake.

Oh look. Another survey of incomprehensible hog-American political views that confirm the priors of centrists, who still manage to lose running on this same messaging garbage time and time again. How valuable.

As horrible as it is to say, Iranian resistance and blood is likely forestalling the Rubio Colonial administration of Cuba
