wow cant believe they lied and will face no repercussions for it! totally crazy that keeps happening

i feel like anything in 2029 which is not us having massive tribunal-style trials for all this means we're just right back here in another few years but it'll be worse.

because she was a 2018-style identity politics candidate who was alienating to lots of other groups and said that hispanics had a "slave mentality".

she was going nowhere.

crockett is very pro-israel and talarico...isn't. so that is probably a big deal.

he also could actually win where she was guaranteed to lose by 10.

HW bush also clearly used it sarcastically and jeb! didnt pick up on that.

also i think people on x, the everything app, might legitimately have brain damage and be stupid. they need grok to explain things because their brains don't work correctly.

my favorite part of owning an electric car (woo chevy bolt!) is that every time there's OMG PAIN AT THE PUMP!!!!111 stuff i just laugh because it has almost no impact on me. i have no idea why electric cars haven't been pushed by policy makers on this front. sick of gas prices? go electric!

I have never seen a politician more directly copy this speech in my life

you are one of the best journalists around these days, you should feel very proud of the work you do!

he didn't do shit! why is he in the locker room partying with them. this is so cringe.

im so glad i have no idea what any of this is talking about

so long as you use the "not interested" button it becomes very, very good at predicting stuff and not giving you anything insane. i suspect lots of people dont know that button exists.

Elon musk would shit his pants and cry like a baby if he ever faced actual real danger. He's such a cowardly little worm.

Don't you dare besmirch the inter county connector one of the greatest road engineering feats of all time

Awesome writing as always!

Well it's kind of hard to argue since she got demolished in the primaries which thus proved that she couldn't win the general. If she mafically won it then we're in a whole other universe and it's tough to make any calls.

Fwiw I like her and voted for her in my primary.

These people make me want to believe hell exists.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

One of the best parts of GOT was the Gothamist/DCist network doing a weekly write up on the episode. They were hilarious and comments were always very fun.

Christian nationalists aren't Christians. They're heretics. Mainline denominations need to start calling them out as such.

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question


McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

Conservatives are not well in the brain

Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

that guy's speech was great. thank you for highlighting it.

You can see this in gen AI discourse. Tons of people going "lol 8 fingers" when I don't think an AI image gen model has screwed up on that front in years. There's a lot of people who set priors once and never ever update them. See also "cities are scary and crime ridden" for Boomers.

My personal theory is it's just right wing Christian rapture theory realigned on to left wing beliefs. You don't have to do anything "The Revolution" will come and all the bad will go away and the good will be rewarded. It's a very comforting myth.

which is especially funny because if there was a violent revolution in this country i'm 99% sure it's not gonna be LEFT-wing.

agreed. even JFK conspiracy stuff is complete nonsense when you actually drill into the facts of the case. Oswald previously tried to assassinate someone else! He worked at the book depository! It's not that hard to pull off what he did given his means, motive and lack of security.

yeah it's kinda wild. i am not out there doing much community activism anymore due to life constraints but i did a lot of door knocking for elections in my younger days and that shit makes an actual impact. None of the Walmart firebombers could even manage to do a single day of knocking.
