*very small voice* Hasan Piker is narrowly correct that museum heists are way cooler than crypto theft

I think a lot of existing metastable communities are becoming a lot more visible and being confounded by online communication.

Supposedly Kamala Harris was wrong to advocate for building houses because there are already so many in New York

Induced demand is good when it's pulling people out of Hitlersburg, IN

The vacancy rate in New York City is 1.4%

it’s 2026, we’re doing fucking earnestness actually

the central issue people have with a lot of democrats right now is that they appear to have little conviction in much of anything, and i can think of one neat trick to moot this issue for 2-3 election cycles

These are terrible, horrifying numbers.

It should not cost a comparable amount or even more to service 10% as many people.

I mean yeah, true

Correct, it is the voters who have power in a democracy.

If they wanted to vote to strip Donald Trump and Elon Musk and David Perdue and whoever else of all their assets next election and it would happen.

But they won't, because they're evil people who empathize with other evil people.

I mean truly they're ultimately correct, they just don't understand they're admitting "yeah the racists over there just don't see as much point in hurting themselves."

Get your lighting and anatomy down pat...

But don't go drawing it TOO well. Folks might start noticing a pattern.

Yeah, imagine that, Republicans having human decency and self-consciousness, it would be a good bit.

A fun part of the Virginia gerrymandering thing is that we get to be the ruthless bastards doing whatever it takes and *still* be the more principled side because they have literally no answer to “ok so let’s ban gerrymandering for everyone then?”

There’s some striking similarities between Führerprinzip and unitary executive theory in that they are the same

Wow wow wow, well done congratulations !!

Good luck, thank you for all your good work so far.

really excited to announce that as of today, i will be the executive editor at @liberalcurrents.com. LC is a project i have been involved with for some time now, and it's really come to mean something to me: an ideal of liberalism with both discipline and convictions

what if you could impregnate a girl with scissoring

All our international adversaries now know they can defuse us as a military threat just by ensuring a Republican is elected.

Politicians should have strongly held values and should be open to a variety of ways of enacting those values as policy.

The conflation of strongly held policy views and strongly held values is very annoying!

My big irritation this cycle is just like - if every American currently threatening to throw the election if Gavin Newsom is the candidate were to vote in their local primaries we just wouldn't have to worry about it, especially if we can agree to tolerate AOC, Pritzker or Harris.

Logging in!!! 🌈✨

I guess I just thought when it became clear that the Republican Party was in fact deeply at its core incapable of delivering freedom and prosperity, we would realize in numbers that actually we would like good things to happen instead of bad things.

Revelation has been an ordeal.

I knew he would win the Republican primary right away, from the moment of the escalator because I could see that's all the Republican party was. Just seething, bloodthirsty resentment at the idea people might come here because they believe us when we say we value freedom and prosperity.

I guess like ever since I was 17, I've kept expecting the prominence of Donald Trump to just functionally shame conservatives out of existence having to witness how venal and insubstantial and embarrassing all their grievances are.

I guess this was very silly of me

I think I would refer to this as 'Presidential Absolutism.'
