Our revolution endorsing Tom Steyer is good, of the candidates with a shot I think he’s probably the best one, it reflects well on them and shows policy seriousness. All that said: it’s still pretty funny.

Why doesn’t California build more condos?
Damn tech bros really do ruin everything.
‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there
My hottest, most scorching airport take is:
arrive as early as you want, no one can task you when you’re there. Responsibility doesn’t exist.
Oh, there’s an ask from work? WiFi is down. You’re boarding. You’re disembarking.
Airport is suspended animation. There are no rules, you survive / enjoy.

Tired: Corporations are people

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
Trump will serve up the sloppiest crap and then tell the audience, “you idiots really love the sloppiest crap, don’t you?”
He doesn’t talk like a politician, I guess.
no one will ever throw people under the bus like this guy, the best ever to do it
I mean, not impossible. So much of our understanding of women’s health is basically this meme.
“this free service that i don’t pay anything for is having intermittent infrastructure issues, likely due to upstream platform providers like AWS”
“better blame it on AI, harass the infra team, and continue to post on this free site when it is back up”
Good for him but I am tired of learning about all the ways a 41-year-old candidate for U.S. Senate supposedly has a lot more growing and learning to do. Maybe do that before the Senate? And maybe try out a lower office before then?
Or maybe we just watch him blossom into another Sinema/Fetterman.
just incredible that while the last shipments out of the strait are finally rolling in and there’s nothing coming behind them, the entire executive branch are obsessed with winning online flame wars with the pope
Pinochet was literally voted out of office in a referendum he supported, bc he didn't imagine he could lose. Apparently Pinochet wasn't an authoritarian!
Referring him as somebody who decides he's "going to opine on matters of theology" is somehow an even funnier way to describe the pope.
The Pope is soft on heresy

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...
For many years people have avoided fucking corpses. Jeffrey Dahmer is taking a different approach.
"Nice as it would be to confront the climate crisis without having to make tough judgment calls, the energy transition is littered with messy, subjective decision-making," writes @sammyroth.bsky.social: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/soda-mount... 🔌💡
They have picked the exact wrong Pope to fight
The trouble with betting on the support of Christian evangelicals is that their faith tradition around The Rapture (at least the one requiring Jews in the Holy Land) only really got mainstream in living memory, and there was really no reason to assume it would permanently keep the same shape
THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.
The only lasting way out of the fossil dependency is shifting electricity generation to renewables and nuclear.
And electrifying the economy as rapidly as possible.
We will present our electrification strategy before the summer.
Electrifying Europe means making Europe more independent.
He's gonna crack
Nonchudly Americans have a fond positive bias toward foreign-born folks and assume they are generally nonchudly. But I guarantee that some of the Brazilian folks who drove around my area with pro-Bolsonaro bumper stickers and flags have been, to their own amazement, picked up ICE.
Kamala did not win more votes than Trump in 2024. Trump won by a couple million votes. She was not even close to Joe Biden’s 81m in 2020. (Trump 2024 was 4m short of Biden 2020. 2020 was a high turnout year.)
The predicate in your question is just not true.
