There’s a kind of guy who loves the idea that ordinary conservatives actually care about “fighting billionaires” and I think it’s laughable. They keep voting to make your life worse because their politics are that they don’t like you, not because they’re under the spell of a trickster political god.
actually looking through Stoller's resume now, and he worked for Alan Grayson and Russell Brand in succession maybe he really did get some quality time with HR
also funny how many guys with hangups about "HR managers" have never once worked anything like an actual job in their life.
1) shocked, shocked to see that matt stoller is a vicious misogynist
2) it is no surprise that a guy who thinks we should organize the economy around the petit bourgeoisie is a bone deep reactionary
3) he is mostly already sidelined by people who matter because he is a gaping asshole
it does seem like a structural problem that the right has found a way to use misogyny to transmute anger at corporations in to conservativism
I do find it funny how many people basically mean “woman in position of power” when they complain about HR.

I’m sure if Jill Stein wasn’t in her non-election year hypersleep pod she’d have a lot to say about the war.
Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.
This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.
But he’s the one who is actually doing it.
I'm sure I'm just repeating old truths here, but: the older you get the more you appreciate someone who isn't afraid of eating shit, getting up, and moving forward. It's more trust-building to be someone who can show the scars of stupidity than maintain a kayfabe of Threading The Needle of life.
surrealistic screenshot of a bald white guy contemplating the small container of yogurt held within his trembling hand, nay contemplating the very firmament itself. the text reads: "unlock your inner yogurt male" with the headline "yogurt male affirmations unlock your power (asmr) Woe to you, oh earth and sea For the Devil sends the beast with wrath Because he knows the time is short Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast For it is a human number
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think
To get the memories from my mind
What did I see? Can I believe?
That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy?
The midterm gerrymandering war and the Iran war alike show Trump's inability to imagine that the people he's picking fights with have any agency, any ability to respond.
He loves his "you don't have the cards" metaphor but he's amazingly terrible at actually thinking about whether they do.
screenshot of WashPo editorial board August 20 2025 "The Texas Gerrymander freakout What's happening in the Lone Star State is not a threat to democracy"
screenshot of April 21 Wash PO editorial board: "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it."
listen hun if you can't handle the Washington Post editorial board at their the Texas gerrymander "freakout" is "not a threat to democracy" you don't deserve them at their "Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss"
You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...
just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down
AOC talking to RFK Jr. Her facial and hand gesture has the spiritual energy of that Italian hand gesture where you pinch your fingers and wave your hand (the "ma che vuo" gesture).
how it feels to say "sprezzatura"
Conservatives have been trained for decades to think of Constitutions not as agreed-upon rules for fair governance, but as a series of cheat codes and loopholes that let them hold power even when the voters want to throw them out. They won't accept anything less than permanent domination of us.
One big political divide is between people who believe germs cause disease and people who believe Those People cause disease. It was pretty evident right away during the pandemic
Wow.
Vivek has blown through $20M—including millions on TV—with nothing to show for it as Ohioans continue to reject his scams.
Now in full panic mode he’s about to burn through a lot more.
We won’t be bought.
The justice department literally choosing to sue a non profit on behalf of the ku klux klan in an election year is incredible.
Actually a fascinating decision to make.
Anecdotal but I have some racist family members who really liked the idea of mass deportation but being intensely dull were unable to actually imagine what that would look like in practice. So "they took him seriously/liked his goals but figured he would just magic it so" is another possibility.
remember when we dropped sanctions on iran oil like three weeks ago
I've long held that Project Veritas functions as a partisan intelligence service. If the MAGA-fied DOJ adopts the theory that such schemes, when undertaken by nonprofits like SPLC, are criminal conspiracies … MAGA just might come to regret that.
What we need is a cultural shift among the sophisticated away from reasoned, pleasant argument, to well-founded & unapologetic philippic. Al Franken won a Senate seat with his barbs. The conservative book industry runs on hate. Surely we have many fine souls ready & prepared to read them for filth.
