"My [relative] taught me this" and "I learned this from a [some profession or person from another country]" should be bannable language on TikTok and all reels-style formats from now on.

We should set up an exploratory committee for Stairs 2028.

"How dare you say some genocide is better than lots of genocide!"

Well, I think you know that's not a fair version of what we're saying, just like you claim "how dare he condone rape in some cases" isn't a fair version of what he was saying (though I'd certainly say fairer).

The rape/class thing is interesting to me. Even when it's just edginess, judging the relative "badness" of a thing by the type of rape occurring, is pretty close to the thing we're accused of when we say Biden or electing Harris wouldn't save Palestine, but would certainly be the better option.

The fact that the "'excusing rape' thing" can be plausibly traced to multiple origin points is a big part of the problem here.

^outrage fallacy bait for people who expect just the slightest honesty in discourse.

I, for one, learned something today about the noble hearty ex-oyster farmer community, and their plight against saying the wrong thing* sometimes.

*: slurs.

She botched the "even the SCOTUS oral argument chamber has the cuck chair" line.

Complete with regular complaints about how people just aimlessly drift through shifts as if there's...not enough to do...

I misinterpreted the plastic seam as the card having been, like, folded in half, and was very sad.

Amazing!

There's an occasional silver lining to the cloud of him being in charge that he's spending his remaining years doing something that he's clearly miserable doing half the time.

Lmfao

"have become involved" does so much heavy lifting in that tweet.

That's really great, and a statement that also seems to miss (or deliberately deflect) the point entirely.

Some of your finest work.

Wow! So simple! Hey, you know I'm not the one who "runs the candidates," right?

Hey, you know winning a primary goves a reasonable case to make that one's positions are popular, right?

Hey, you realize these hostage threats are being made before anyone's stated anything close to a platform, right?

Cool 👍 And part of how human discourse works is that many of us are going to criticize that behavior, especially the asinine way it's been stated by many where there's no negotiation or compromise (or outright lies to exaggerate the problems), just a petulant, selfish refusal in advance. Sorry!

The version I've seen typically swaps "people won't be compelled to" to "I won't," which is both definitely more hostage take-y (especially from people whose statement will be seen as guidance), and pretty presumptive given that the winner of a primary just had lots of people vote for them.

I would think a lot of the "left" who didn't support her would want her to run again, since it seems like grandstanding was their highest priority.

not the Bluey chair!

(but yes, the Bluey chair)

I figured that's what all the boys in the yard were doing. Thanking them.

I have some bad news about ever winning back the Senate then.

"Democracy dies in darkness" became aspirational at some point.

This was after several tweets about how he had acquired the tree and had it in custody, only to realize it was a shrub or deciduous tree, and release it.

Three out of five stars.

👏👏👏

Screenshot of an advertisement link saying "These Are the Coolest Gifts on Everyone's Wishlist in 2025" by Tech Gadget Trend. It shows a staircase, and on that staircase, unevenly spaced across two steps, is a person standing on an object that looks like a skateboard, embedded in a "Little Tykes"-style car or wagon. The person's legs are facing forward on it, the object's front wheels on a higher step than the back wheels, as if the object will be able to roll up a staircase.

When you scroll down too far on a local news article:

No doubt. No doubt in my mind.

No one in the public is served by this framing.
