Yo you posted this on the wrong social media platform. All we do is talk about how we're broken as hell over here. You're thinking of LinkedIn
New York Magazine@nymag.com · yesterdayOn social media, a broad consensus is that you can’t admit to struggle — at least not while you’re struggling. Doing so represents a failure so profound it’s almost existential. How did it become mandatory to demonstrate perpetual growth and progress online?
I have been lurking for over a year. Everything's gonna be fine tonight in the Michigan primary, yes? #AbdulElSayed
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
“What did they expect?” is kind of a misleading question. The people who supported them didn’t expect something very specific. They expected to own the libs. They expected people they resented to suffer. The expected the world to burn. It wasn’t about specifics.
The “methods for doing so” are (1) getting two thirds of Congress and three fourths of the states to repeal the 22nd Amendment and (2) declaring himself king. That’s it. Stop treating this despotic bullshit as if it’s some worthwhile thought experiment we have to consider as legitimate.
NBC News@nbcnews.com · last yr.President Trump did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term in the White House, which is prohibited by the Constitution under the 22nd Amendment, saying in an exclusive interview with NBC News that there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was “not joking.”
Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · last yr.Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

I keep thinking about the Matthew Desmond figure on how much it would cost to pull Americans out of poverty: ~175 billion. The 148 billion Musk is reported to have lost could have made SO MANY LIVES BETTER. Instead it's evaporated into the ether of him being a hateful dick, loathed by millions.
Charlie Warzel@cwarzel.bsky.social · last yr.It's probably premature to suggest Musk is cooked but I wrote about the dangerous game he's playing. how the protests are working, how people are mad, and how you can really see the contours of how the whole thing could collapse for him www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
Can’t believe Twitter keeps crashing despite Elon hiring the best 19-year-old interns that racism has to offer
i’m sorry, i’m tired of this shit. there was no pronoun policing. i have encountered exactly three or four land acknowledgments in like ten years, and the most you’ll hear about “intersectionality” is in liberal nonprofits. this is just freefloating resentment masquerading as analysis.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 30, the number is 100%.
Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired
It’s almost like these people were in the MCU Blip during Trump’s *first* term.
Amanda Terkel@aterkel.bsky.social · last yr.Laid-off IRS employee said he had voted for Trump: "I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/p...
Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize
It’s just bleak that there’s a considerable amount of people who are like “thank goodness the worlds richest human being is stopping the tyranny of the consumer financial protection bureau and that guy who collects atmospheric data”
if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all
25 Democratic senators voted to confirm this guy two days ago

donald trump and republicans are responsible for the plane crash and everyone should say it
Trump: What happens if I throw this baby off of a roof? Me: It'll die. Trump: [throws baby] [THUD] Schumer: Trump cannot throw babies off of roofs. [THUD] SCOTUS: Trump cannot throw babies off of roofs. [THUD] Me: You guys, he's still throwing babies. [THUD] MAGA: He's such a strong leader! [THUD]
the first fatal commercial plane crash in 16 years happened just days after Trump froze hiring of air traffic controllers that were already stretched thin
Just a reminder that there are real human beings, with families, who are having their financial and professional lives turned upside down tonight by the richest man in the world, who has a string of his own families he’s abandoned, and who was not elected to anything.
have democrats considered that maybe one reason people didn't believe them when they said trump was super-scary is because they appear not to believe it at all themselves
