Staff sausage. I talk about Detroit too much. I hope that you have a nice day. And that we all don't die. But mostly the other thing.
Right? Things can be horrible in different ways and that can have different implications and require different things to deal with. Like, sometimes the distinctions are actually both legally and morally important, resist the urge to flatten everything into "bad thing" and every crisis to omni-crisis
Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2d agoi’ve seen this take a lot today but i really don’t understand the point of it. obviously there are material differences between this situation and police murders, which makes this type of argument just feel like semantics.

Emmy Cumslutress@coyotegirl.online · last wk.my most correct yet inconsequential take is that toy technology really peaked with the invention of the super soaker 50
I did not expect the landing page to be a picture of a child face down (unsure if alive) on a frozen lake and a suggested prompt of “how can I invest in my child’s future”. This is higher level comedy than I am capable of on my own. This is incredible.

Everyone wants to hear something about the Middle East. My bet is he got some hapless moron in the oil industry to freeze diesel exports and he is going to flog that as if it is a good thing.

Or, to put it another way: "Name a single decade in the last 300 years or so where Russia was not involved in expanding or fighting to maintain its empire"
Sam (ABeardedPanda)@abeardedpanda.bsky.social · 2w agoIt is genuinely not hyperbole to say that the primary takeaway from Russian history *up to* 1989 should be "imperialism is an inherently Russian trait"
As a PMC, seeing Kat Abughazaleh aggressively pushing for discrimination scares me.
Not a change of heart, a change in circumstance.
James Myall@jamesxmyall.bsky.social · 3w agoPaul LePage was proud to racially profile people of color as drug dealers (“the enemy”) but when ICE comes for someone in his extended family, he has a change of heart #mepolitics www.pressherald.com/2026/09/21/l...
This is correct, but the underlying assumption is that Cenk did even a "cursory reading" of history and didn't just hear the name "The Young Turks" associated with revolutionaries and thought it sounded cool. Cenk is, to his very core, a barely literate moron. This is not an excuse, but still.
The Pines@thepines.bsky.social · 3w agoAny cursory reading up on what the Young Turks actually were and what they actually did would make any reader appalled by their violence, evil and brutality. It is not a sort of history a decent person would associate with.
But what if being an insufferable pedantic scold is my method of coping?
I’m not reading about Aella. There’s enough going on with national security. I don’t need to experience a voluntary psychotic break.

Really feel like the Left gave a huge shit about Abdul during the primary, and have now moved on to the newest big thing (wherever they get to punch moderate dems next), and that feels kinda shitty. Because he very well might lose this race. MI needs some hair on fire help, and I see nothing.
It ain't much, and I don't have my people around me...but Shana Tova, y'all
See this is how you vastly oversimplify US history but for a good cause
Abdul El-Sayed@abdulelsayed.bsky.social · last mo.This country was built on the opposition to tyranny...so ICE must be abolished.
The correct Democratic position on every issue is “I will undo everything Donald Trump has done, I will destroy everything he has built, and I will impose consequences on him and everyone who helped him do it.” No negotiation. Rip it all down.
Book people are fucking weird about Dungeon Crawler Carl. "It is pandering to millenial nerds" No shit. It is not supposed to be some memoirists exploration of the themes of emotional openness through the lens of unhealed trauma. Just let shit be fun sometimes. People like Marvel movies too.
this has been a devastating week, but the one thing I keep coming back to is how the people we lost were empathetic, kind, creative, and generous and 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 wishes they were still here, that there were more like them the world will be eager to be rid of cruel men. but kind souls can never die
Really wish people had listened back in the primary. This race did not have to be a tough uphill battle.

Correct. A company should pay me money for my time - that is it. Everything else, all "benefits" should be provided by the government, for free.
Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 2mo agoHot take: fundamentally the employee/contractor distinction should be much less important because we should not be using companies as a benefit delivery mechanism for their employees
OK, but every week this headline comes out and every week his approval is exactly the same 34%-38% approve. Look, it is great that undecided people are making a choice, but wake me up when his core base of 33%-36% erodes.
