Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

Maybe I'm wrong here, but I'm interpreting this differently from how a lot of others are. I don't see what he's saying as "We need more Nazis on Bluesky", rather "We need more non-politics stuff on Bluesky". That said, I know nothing about this guy, so I'm still gonna be vigilant about all this.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

Dark Souls 2 features a coffin that changes your gender when you rest in it. Said coffin is guarded by two ogres and a miniboss who's name is a synonym for "Chaser". What did FromSoft mean by this?

I love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...

Amy Acton is the 3rd most evil Democratic candidate to make it past their initial primary date this cycle, after Maureen Galindo & Graham Platner. Her comments on trans people make Gavin Newsom look like Bernie by comparison. She crossed a red line — we can’t let her infect the Democratic Party

2. Earlier this week, Ohio's Dem nominee for gov, Amy Acton, made headlines for calling trans girls "boys" and declaring that she would enforce Ohio's sports ban, which she cast as a matter of "fairness" and "kids' health and safety." www.erininthemorning.com/p/dem-ohio-g...

A lot of the quote tweets are clowning on this by pointing out the negative parts of China, but I don't even think that matters. Even if China were a The Culture-level utopia, it'd still be wrong for them to go around conquering other places.

Honestly if China was invading that would great. The best railway in the world, Healthcare is affordable, Housing that gets built, 9 of the 10 best Universities in the world, the fastest advancing country... And so much more. While the West decays under billionaires GREED.

Worth remembering that Talarico raised so much money he just gave some away to other Texas candidates and Mamdani raised so much money during the primary that he told people to donate to Adrienne Adams. People aren't giving up on Ds. They just don't like the DNC. The DNC should think about that!

can my comparative politics folks come up with any other example of the opposition party being $2m in debt when the incumbent government is ~20 points underwater on approval?

Elliot Page is in the biggest blockbuster of the summer, Hunter Schafer is in the new Blade Runner. Keep up the pace. Inundate the normies with trans representation until the regressives pop like a balloon Alex Jones style. Trans people make up 1% of humanity. Get us in 1% of pop culture.

Putting aside the shitstorm of the past 24 hours, I do think the DSA does more good than harm for progressive causes in this country. Regardless of how much Campism there is in their FP platform, I don't really see it reflected in the stances of the actual candidates, and I think that matters.
