Monitoring the Situation kids had their fun already. Now it’s Crunching the Numbers men’s turn

The one app everyone had in the summer of 2022 sending a push notification at a random time of day or night:

Peacock airing Rob Rausch foot content you are SICK for that!

The Olympics loves to be “I’m 2800 years old btw”

I finally watched Ella McCay and first of all you could easily recut that movie into being a horror movie for that 34 year old woman,

The J Crew rugby shirt in me recognizes the J Crew rugby shirt in you

thank you!!

Trader joe's chicken caesar wrap has got to be the most "what the hell, sure" lunch in the world... everyone involved in this is absolutely phoning it in, myself included for eating one

🚨 NEW — The Middle Seat Union just officially ratified our new contract, securing wins to continue making Middle Seat the best workplace in the biz. This is major, long-awaited progress for our workers and for the progressive digital industry!

One of the incentives for reactionary centrism is lobbying campaigns inventing compromise positions and trying to will them into being via bad punditry.

Democratic MoCs should have done non-cooperation with Rs until the pro-J6 guys were out of office; could still take the same stance now on ICE.

In some ways it adds insult to injury that after you’re murdered by the state within hours everyone up to the President and VP is slandering your name. But it also reveals that they know how precarious a situation they’re in

They are going to continue shooting people in the streets because that is what ICE as an agency has been formulated to do

i’m not particularly attached to “abolish ICE” as a slogan but as a policy it’s mandatory

Every single decision about prosecuting Trump and holding him accountable has been made not with the objective of maximizing the odds of conviction and consequences, but minimizing the odds someone will say Dems are being political or targeting Trump. Consequently they failed utterly at both.

Trump is a megalomaniacal, criminal madman, he is the singular force that is destroying the entire world order and the whole American system, and rather than acknowledging him as a crisis, our institutions are still, STILL determined to relentlessly normalize him

I'm finally free

That having been said, because politics is timing, now is the time to start hammering that message while people are agreeing with you to associate yourself with it.

Democrats so often forget that they can influence public opinion.

Why did someone review my local post office in what I can only describe as NSFW Holiday Copypasta language

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

cell phone video still of ice agent murdering woman, paused to show him switching hands

0:31 in the video, car totally motionless, and he switches phone to his left hand to free up his right. that's when he had already decided.

Matthew Yglesias O @mattyglesias • 14h I think Democrats should decide what they want to do about interior enforcement in some level of detail first and then decide whether or not they want to characterize that as abolishing ICE rather than starting with the slogan and reasoning backwards. X G Elliott Morris • @gelliottmorris • 17h I'm looking at the data for a column, and "abolish ICE" is both a lot more popular than you probably think, and a lot more popular than it has been in the past, including 2018 63 L7 64 © 771 1l.1 72K 企 Matthew Yglesias • @mattyglesias •14h g • •• Greg Bovino of Customs and Border Protection is the guy in operational command of these sweeps but "abolish CBP" doesn't have juice as a slogan. Either way, you need to figure out the substance of what you want to propose. (my ideas here)

the fact that this is Yglesias’ only post about ICE murdering an American really just goes to show how his excessively poll-tested popularist philosophy completely fails when faced with a rapidly shifting public narrative

it’s an entirely backwards-looking worldview

Pipe burst and flooded my gym and it’s been closed for all of January… how am I supposed to make this My Year

Good balloon day

Miguel pointed to a painting of Jean Jacques Rousseau and said “why does he kinda look like Kip Heated Rivalry”

This is absolute bullshit. There are numerous videos of the murderer, which show his build, gait, and top half of his face. Every state/local law enforcement agency has records at their disposal (including facial recognition) to find criminals who mask their faces.

Pathetic honestly

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.
