economy so bad i’m thinking about buying a dj mixer

genealogy guys are going to be so good!! so many mormons

definitionally, the social basis of right wing populism

"I should be allowed to kill the people who annoy me" is the most foundational belief in the reactionary American mind. There are a LOT of right-wingers celebrating Mangione and Penny because they hate healthcare bills and homeless people. You're not gonna build M4A out of that, sorry.

it just doesn’t feel like a soulsborne experience

dressing like 2007 stephen colbert, but unironically

the central problem with “elites” discourse is that half the time people are talking about billionaires and the other time people are talking about mid-career lawyers and professors

The way republicans kept hammering on isolated instances of crimes being committed by migrants in the hearing(Laykan Riley et al) to evoke a strong emotional reaction really underscored how much this shit is being driven by the same lynching/pogrom mindset of an early twentieth century mob

frankly, penny, rittenhouse, trump, and mangiano all reflect the roiling populism in the american psyche. people want some macho heroes--left and right. the actual policy takes second place to the aesthetic

“blm era is over” is just explicit support of white supremacy

how long until they blame the fact that he’s italian?

britain has had local control on development and its resulted in economic stagnation everywhere but london and the increase of rents in london to £3000 for an apartment

like do people not remember he did the rally to restore sanity

people don’t want cyberpunk, they want to live in hong kong in the 80s

a political party made up of the most anti-social people in your high school graduating class

i can’t believe we’re experiencing what it would be like if dpm had a twitter account and was like 15 iq points dumber

culture is going to get so so bad over the next four years

i was thinking about doing an ma in accounting but i’m probably going to do an mlis because even tho i’ll make less money, i’ll enjoy my work more

it’s also that they tend to be annoyed by their younger coworkers and interns who are to their left, and therefore see right-wingers as kindered spirits

Next Democratic nominee must be a beastmode ultralib who understands that the Republican base mainly consists of hateful people who live in hellholes of their own making working rent-seeking jobs and spending their nights staring resentfully at the lights of the cities we have built.

it’s not a coincidence that the people making this argument are male academics who grew up pmc and work at coastal universities because it’s emblematic of an ennui that stems from the inability of them to be “working class” in the way that the men in the past they write about were

much like everything else populists say, it’s a way to complain about the feminization of labor and the labor force without making use of explicitly anti-feminist and right wing rhetoric

These folks believe that people actually want to live in Asbestos County Ohio population 28 and so they need to invent reasons for why they aren't moving there in droves

i just don’t understand why someone would do it because it’s a super confined are and you don’t have wifi. for like commuter rail or coach buses where you have more room it seems fine, but the thought of typing on a keyboard on the bus is so offputting to me

convinced that there are people who love trump for no other reason than that he gave them a personality, however rancid it might be

that looks divine omg

Watching Dune: Prophecy for the plot

whenever i fall asleep, i need to be this cozy

people without papers mad because people who came later have papers is a death nail for any soliditistic politics
