Yet another op-ed in prestige media pretending racism, sexism and transphobia among Republicans is a response to Democratic overreach www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/o...
got jury duty. let me see check what polymarket is predicting about the verdict before making up my mind
I think I’d have a much higher chance at AI psychosis if AI talked like a cringe tumblr user rather than a linkdin dweeb, and that’s given me some perspective and empathy
Look, The New York Times can't report on *everything* Yes, yes, this Republican congressman urged a military-backed coup to overthrow an election. But did you know that a gubernatorial candidate said she didn't like Thanksgiving? You can't cover it all. It's all about priorities, people.
Mark Jacob@markjacob.bsky.social · 2d agoRep. Ralph Norman, who’s in a Senate runoff with Lindsey Graham’s sister Darline, secretly urged a military-backed coup in 2021 to keep Trump in power. But the NY Times thinks it’s no big deal. In its last 92 stories mentioning Norman over 3 years and 7 months, it hasn’t stated that fact once. 1/7🧵
School meals should be free for everybody. Charging children to eat somewhere they are legally required to be for the entire day is crazy!
must’ve been terrible to date AOC as a regular man because one minute you’re dating a bartender who’s a bit out of your league and the next there are tabloid stories like “you’re not gonna believe how ugly this guy is”

if i were a dem politician asked about hasan piker i would simply say “i will answer your question about the twitch streamer no one has heard of but first i would like to point out the president was best friends with the worlds most notorious child rapist and yall stopped asking him about that”
"the israelis will continue prosecuting a war of extermination against the palestinians even if they are sanctioned, which is why i don't support sanctioning them" is not actually a coherent worldview on any level, sorry
Don't get me wrong, I lift every morning. But being a man is not really about how you show up in the gym. It's how you show up for your family. It's about how you show up for your community.

I don’t like when people think Being A Dick is the same thing as Having Balls. It’s not. Not even close. In fact there’s a Vas Deferens between them.
i'm tired of restaurants treating fries and tots as equally valid choices for a side. tots are an iterative improvement over fries by any metric we can measure. fries are a fully outdated technology. if you're still playing the fry meta in 2026 you're already behind the competition
hard to find a more succinct description of the line between the two parties than “Dems forced Platner out of the race when sexual assault allegations dropped and Republicans stood behind Max Miller after child abuse allegations”
Bill Kristol@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social · 6d ago"GOP may be stuck with Rep. Max Miller in Ohio" This piece is written as if the GOP were a passive bystander. But Republican leaders could have told Miller to get out. The could have said they wouldn't endorse him, or fund the race. Instead they enabled him to stay. www.axios.com/2026/08/09/o...
a large part of being a conservative is pretending they are “pretending” to be a prick to prove a point when they really just want to be a prick because they are pricks at heart and thats who they are
Forbes@forbes.com · 7d agoWBNA eligibility rules don't use any external measures to say what defines a "woman."

Wealth needs to be understood as the power to direct human labor toward your own aims. Billionaires can put thousands of people to work doing almost anything they want whenever they want, and they do. That’s near dictatorial power over a population.
one throughline of the coverage of the Michigan primary aftermath is that national Democrats+Stevens are mostly swallowing their pride and going all-in for El-Sayed while the worst Democrats in Michigan politics throw tantrums
