This seems out of order to me (2,3,1) but broadly right

Governor Cook thinks the vibecession comes down to: 1) growing job insecurity from potential AI disruption 2) lack of affordability in big ticket items: housing, health care, childcare 3) persistently elevated inflation broadly for 5yrs + www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

Seeing way too much discourse about this rom com

Peter Labuza@labuzamovies.com · 2w ago

Do people just not write dialogue anymore? This entire scene feels like did a first draft with a bunch of "[insert joke line here]".

Any update

i'm hoping haley stevens concedes gracefully if she loses, but i'm also worried she'll come on stage with a pack of bacon and a drawing of mohammed

I guess the bleeding heart liberal stereotype didn’t come from nowhere but I really dislike how much of gambling discourse on here focuses on push notifications and ads and not making gambling addicts feel bad and dumb

WSJ story about a collectibles bidding app a guy maxxed out his credit cards, drained his savings, his wife left him, he lost his job, sold his house. he went $1.3mm in the hole buying baseball cards. the kicker? he's repaying his debt, back on the app and $37K down www.wsj.com/business/ret...

I’m not optimistic Spencer will do this seeing as his website is still called Forever Wars but it’s probably time to reevaluate how much money in elections actually matters

Spencer Ackerman@attackerman.bsky.social · 9h ago

@abdulelsayed.bsky.social triumphing over something like $60 million, $32-ish million of it AIPAC money, is not a "narrow" victory, it's a people's earthquake. This kind of spending is oligarchy in action, to smother democracy through its formal channels, and is getting normalized. Still he won.

Pleasantly shocking that just being a creep can still take someone down

Chuck Edwards says he will end reelection bid after censure recommendation

Hate takes like this! Political science has its problems but it has figured out a bunch of things that predict whether a candidate does well, based on both their biography and ideology.

It's "Electability" season once again so let me just remind everybody possessing this incredible power of foresight to tell us something useful like November stock prices.

Cori bush is not a normal person lol

You can’t go to Kyoto if you’ve had two drinks in one sitting lol okay

This is a pretty persistent belief that I don’t think is true

It's not cool to make fun of "junkies"

Too bad DSA hasn’t figured this out.

DSA-aligned Democrats are now the most pro-free-trade voting bloc in the United States, in an incredible turn of events www.theargumentmag.com/p/who-suppor...

that feel when you slander all of america's combat veterans to cape for a rapist redditor

CyberOtters@cyberotters.bsky.social · yesterday

www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol... Why would the New Yorker do a soft focus "Platner holds uneasy mirror up to America's veteran problem" while ignoring his PMC time? Seems like an important piece of his puzzle not shared by the vast, vast majority of the combat veteran community.

This is, respectfully, dumb as shit. Tammy Duckworth gave her legs and she’s not using that to excuse her bad behavior

Rick Perlstein@rickperlstein.bsky.social · 5d ago

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

Libs trying to pick a fight with Morgan Wallen is our version of MAGA saying the NFL is woke

Pop Crave@popcrave.com · 2d ago

Tate McRae to Variety on being labelled MAGA for collaborating with Morgan Wallen: “I like to say my piece through organizations I support and the environment that I have on tour. I think it’s pretty obvious what kind of person I am and the things I support.“

Doesn’t seem like that big of a problem if the 4th example you can come up with is someone in a ceremonial position

That’s how we got Feinstein, RBG, Biden, Eleanor Holmes Norton, etc etc etc etc etc

I never want to hear another goddamn word about Cheney.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@ocasio-cortez.house.gov · 2d ago

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines. I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan. The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

Incredible sanewash to say MAHA is about getting drug costs down

Michelle Wu for President@wu4america.bsky.social · 2d ago

“We need to get forever chemicals out of our water and drug costs down” is not Republican lite. Watch the video.

I’ve been bullish on AOC recently but this is incredibly stupid. In a vacuum it’s bad enough, you don’t need to pander to cranks. But also you’re just chomping down on GOP bait! They are relitigating COVID in 2026 so they can talk about something, anything besides how bad Trump is doing!

This is a correct statement but not really meaningful

1st Minnesota Volunteers Stan Account@himdogson.bsky.social · 2d ago

He is the most popular member of Trump’s cabinet

This guy’s only real principle is that people that dislike Donald Trump are bad

I don't like this, at all. But I get it. it makes more sense than courting never trumpers

this was the peak of woke 1 and the only thing I've ever thought when I hear 'wework'

amy brown@amybrown.xyz · 2d ago

i'm just in a really bad place right now (a wework)

The “you can’t buy high quality stuff anymore” seems a lot like the “air travel used to be so much better” where that level of good and service was the result of conditions that largely don’t exist anymore but it’s still available if you want it, ppl just largely don’t pay for it

I know why they want to pretend this isn’t the case but I’ll take anti-car people seriously once they accept that people really like driving cars

Jake Berman@lostsubways.com · 3d ago

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

This guy has anti-Semitic brain worms (among many other species of brain worm) and he needs to be treated as radioactive by every Democrat.
