leftists on here hate charts when Stancil posts them, but gleefully share charts showing Abdul El-Sayed beat Haley Stevens in the Senate race. Hypocrites much? 🤔
every person that's lost a general election won their primary lol
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 15h agoregardless of which candidate you support I really hate this bit where pundits pretend being electable in a primary makes you electable in the general election just ask senators Hershel Walker, Blake Masters, Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, and Sharron Angle how that worked out for them

No, they are not "locked in a tight battle." The campaign is over and now election officials are just counting the votes.
when was the last time you guys put out anything that was relevant?

Kingdom Come makes this explicit by having older Batman end crime in Gotham by having endless drones patrolling the city at all times and overseeing a surveillance state! The "Batman who actually solves problems like the real world" is a dictator Batman!
how has no media outlet dubbed this the Yentervention yet?

Solar output in the UK recorded an all-time high in July, reaching 3.2 TWh. 33% higher than July last year. Accelerating solar deployment coincided with a historically sunny month to produce this record. Solar power is delivering when heatwaves are at their worst.
I need to do more reading about Japan's economy because it totally defies my understanding of how a country's look and feel and infrastructure relate to its macro picture.
something that's become evident to me is that you can just say "Person who says [A] is wrong and a nutjob (even if A's tightest definition is right and sane), instead we need to focus on A (slightly modified)". don't say "actually there's legit grievances in A" bc that's not what people *hear* in A
SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social · 2d agothere is literally nothing so cut and dried that this type of wingnut will not demand the right to fuck it up. you can try to peel their soft supporters by addressing legitimate grievances where they exist but the actual people involved directly are irredeemable

extremely hot take is that it *would be right* for Batman to kill, based on his circumstances- and that he doesn't- that he has this ethos against it, formed of his trauma and fear of his unrestrained self- is what makes him such a compelling character.
Robert Black@hurricanexyz.bsky.social · 2d agoA thought I keep having about these superhero stories is the role of ethos When we say it is wrong for Superman to kill, the "for Superman" part is really important! It would be false to who he is
it's actually disgusting how many people in the quotes and replies to this did not actually engage with the content and simply assumed he was talking about bringing in conservatives. you bastards have a responsibility to be better

I feel like when I travel with others, it's just really hard to match other people's energies closely enough. going fully at my own pace, not stopping to look at things I don't want to- so much more tangibly gratifying than I was expecting
Zander🚈🔰@kohiwonomu.bsky.social · 2d agohell yeah dude, traveling with a friend is fun but solo travel is just so liberating and you can do whatever you want
ok maybe I love solo travel and am going to turn this into my new thing?

Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.
