"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 11h agoI know it sucks, but Dems have got to be prepared to inherit a munitions-and-readiness hole that is going to be expensive to fill, but which will need to be filled. Hardly the only such hole, but it will be a big one.
my dumbass school used to be a nice place
David at FOIAball@foiaball.com · 3h agoThe school that spent $12,000 on golf carts was LSU. And as it is claiming financial hardship and maybe taking on $100 million in private equity, I thought the people should get a good look at ALL its inane expenses. Like the $64,000 football robot. www.foiaball.com/p/lsu-monthl...
the scariest part of this is the idea of a burrito made at home by a white republican, like some kind of racist sloppy joe on a wet albertson’s tortilla
huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · 12h agofor 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.

Congratulations to the Haley Stevens campaign on their crackerjack strategy of being super islamaphobic and weirdly antisemitic to Jewish people who disagreed with her policies
genuinely unhinged to ask if *anything* is better. more interesting question to me is, on balance (and even theoretically putting politics aside), would i rather live in the material conditions of 2026 or 2006?
Constantine@ajaxsinger.bsky.social · yesterdayFood, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Marx is the crazy guy who insists his stepfather made him kill a man when he was seven
Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterdayDepicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.
i know votes are still being counted but the more i look at this michigan senate map the more it becomes clear that it kind of looks like a mitten

Aaron Huertas@aaronhuertas.bsky.social · 2d agoOccassional reminder that bot posts with splitter / wrecker messaging will get a lot more common as the midterms ramp up. Recommend blocking them and moving on. Also suspect a lot of the “get every liberal to 1k follower” accounts were setups for this sort of thing.

watched Antonioni’s ZABRISKIE POINT (1970) for the first time tonight. I love a shaggy 70s movie with no plot, and i need to sit with it, but all of my initial thoughts are caught up in thinking everything I liked about it is done better in THE PASSENGER
to take an actual crack at this: requiring effort to access entertainment (set schedules, physical media, rare reruns, limited home access), often meant you proved yourself a fan by dint of the consumption itself, and I think that’s been replaced by toxic fandom to prove your bona fides.
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 3d agoIt’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

Santiago Mayer@santiagomayer.com · 3d agoSchumer and Gillibrand chose all-out war with Mallory McMorrow because they expected Stevens would win in a head-to-head. That calculus seems to be blowing up on their face.
