the problem with Dan Goldman saying this is that he’s lying
It's not their first time doing that either: Sex-negative feminists have always been willing accomplices and unwitting pawns in the hands of evangelic Christians for decades.
correct
there is no reason for a single one of them to vote for Mullin (yes, Mr. Fetterman, that means you) and they should make this as embarrassing as possible - which, given Mullin’s extensive track record of putting his foot in his mouth, shouldn’t even be that hard
I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.
“I’d rather get bombed than pay taxes” does seem on brand for these folks, can’t question their commitment to the bit
General elections stay mostly close but goddamn in a primary one of you can be Alabama and one of you can be Mercer
Primary night is awesome because you can watch people absolutely get trashcanned straight to hell
Thom Tillis is threatening to use procedural moves to shut down every Senate committe he's involved in if Kristi Noem does not respond to his inquiry
This is something the Democrats could have done at any point during the last 14 months, but chose not to
Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina is up on stage as the last event of the day. He cites being anti crypto, anti prediction markets and anti gambling as why Democrats are losing young men. Messina is on the board of Blockchain .com and lobbied for the American Gaming Association
the "boys are back in town" may be a happy anthem but its very pleasure also depends on sorrow. for while we celebrate the boys return we also know they must leave. even now the hour of their departure draws close. perhaps we ourselves will be the ones who drive them away
OK then
10/10 No notes.
look man, I get why you would vote for Platner in the primary, I would vote for him in the general, but this performative sneering is so fucking dumb. the guy is a Soviet military parade of red flags at this point, don’t insult people’s intelligence by acting like it’s incomprehensible why the worry
This bit in the From Russia With Love game made me laugh out loud. You've got a fairly grounded, low key fight based on the one in the movie, then the most video game looking fucker of all time slides into frame.
From the folks (no really, the exact same people) who will use any excuse to sideline voices from the wrong side of their prep school fences in the name of “objective journalism”
Obviously it puts the cart ahead of the horse, but I'd be very happy if Chris Van Hollen were a senate majority leader or better. Says the right things, seems to walk the walk, and has a moral compass.
A 3x3 grid titled "Is it a library? Alignment chart".

Eh. Again, ~90% of the reason it's all politics all the time is <gestures at the daily onslaught of lawless authoritarianism>. This is not a Bluesky problem. It's a society/polity problem. We will all go back to sh*tposting about TV, cocktails, sports, music, food, & puppies in the after-times.
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
I haven't seen that spelled out explicitly, but I like the framing
76 is currently easy to ease into. 4x division opponents, 3x non-division conference opponents, 2x other conference
the most notable part of the far right buying up legacy news media is that liberals generally always trusted legacy media far more, aside from places like fox news. the downstream effect of this, maybe intentionally, is to have more people distrust media. misinformation will spread easier
It is not something that is often remarked on, but it is increasingly difficult to just have a spontaneous gathering in an urban area and not have the police attempt to break it up.
I hate how Florida being the closest state to Cuba means "98% probablity of government goons with bad idea / 2% probability crypto bros from Miami being idiots"
superb piece. among other things a really useful look into how apartment investing actually works www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/aft...
I will add my name to the class-action lawsuit we file (I blindly assume my data has also been breached by this company)
I actually welcome these hacks. I've made roughly $300 the last two years based on being a member of class-action settlements due to data breaches. I've been able to afford SEVERAL cartons of eggs as a result.
Never forget
I like "Adding it to the evidence file for our investigation" as a formulation of intent, and would like to see it applied methodically and systematically.
For this, but also for some of the more serious harm-inducing crimes.
