That’s the thing about us progressives. Progressives aim to blowout and barely win. Centrists aim to barely win and then lose.
Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

An actually underrated potential positive for Dems in light of Abdul’s victory is that it gives traditionally centrist or otherwise poor Dems on Palestine on an easy out for polarizing against AIPAC and pro-Israel politics— they’re trying to cost Dems the Senate.
Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:
we should hear MAHA out about this they might be onto something
New mosh pit move just dropped
Oh my god I think I found the video.

lmao no it is not. It just isn't. It is fully within the norm for a negative review where the writer feels strongly. This is Roger Ebert.
People don't seem to want to admit that "I would be ashamed to have written any part of this" is shockingly harsh language for the average film review. She's within her rights to say it, and she knew exactly the response she would get for it, but it's definitely an eyebrow-raiser
It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"
The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us
a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
What's tricky about the dual loyalty thing is that it *is* antisemitic to assume that every Jewish person, politician and institutional organization is loyal to the state of Israel. But also, a number of them...are! And pretending that they aren't makes the complaint look fundamentally disingenuous!
I think the thing is is that these people plainly do have a dual loyalty, they will openly state that they do, and it's just considered impolite to point it out.
Liberals: giving the New York Times money doesn't do anything to trans people The New York Times in just the last 24 hours:
"Being trans is sad Being trans is horrid." Shut up. Being trans is great. Look. I've got inner peace and a fucking scythe.
Today at the convent: the nuns have been teaching me to scythe.
this is extremely good, not because I think Harris is likely to be the nominee again but because this is how expanding the Court becomes table stakes for everyone who wants to run for President

I've wanted to draw @axellycan.bsky.social 's character Tybalt for ages, always thought a macro meet-cute between him and Senedjem would be fun! Tybalt carries a pomander-like hotel around between destinations like some kinda giant sexy talking ferry, and Sen is keen to scope out the facilities.
TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.
you shouldn't be mad about destroying books. you should be mad about who is allowed to have access to the scans, and why the public isn't able to benefit from this at nominal fee to be paid directly to the author, rather than the knowledge being rented from a middleman.
every way I try to solve this makes me laugh harder and now I’m dying
