What a lovely pool of young, eager, talented workers deeply fed up with their country's crap, happy to emigrate if given the opportunity.

Why is he using a sword and not a spear?

How the Virginia GOP could've won:

>Don’t target rural areas, focus on suburbs

>Demand Musk not to be an idiot with DOGE

>Don’t siege state elections, rig them immediately

>Zurge rush NoVa to cut off woke

>Ally with laid-off government workers against Spanberger

>ignore bad national brand

I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Suburban Living the Worst for Carbon Emissions — New Research A new study indicates that people in urban areas, on average, have the smallest carbon footprints, while those living in the suburbs have the highest.

Do you realize that dense urban living is the most sustainable way for humans to exist?

Not living in a highly urbanized place *is* selfish and bad for the planet, and we should stop buying the romanticized bullshit about the supposed purity of unsustainable lifestyles.

people when a driver hits a highway barrier: "It's a good thing that barrier was there, that probably stopped a deadly pileup." People when a driver hits a city bollard: CHANNEL 17 NEWS, features old man labeled as Holden Bloodfeast, Opinionated bystander. Three bullets below him: -Wants to remove 118 bollards. -Please god just let us kill more pedestrians nothing else matters, I'll do anything please I just want to see another car drive through Ballard library before I die. -Respectable city councilmember.

thought of this at work

There is only one working class, the Professional Managerial Class. There is only one working class party, the Democratic Party. There is only one working class newspaper, The Financial Times. There is only one working class heartland, Northern Virginia

The whole thing about the Virginia gerrymander would be less annoying had the Republicans not egregiously gerrymandered Virginia themselves after the 2010 census, only to lose control anyway because the state shifted so hard to Ds

What if we kissed… in the Arlington Lobstermander…

The Japanese scientist who painstakingly reconstructed 1,200 years of data on peak cherry blossom blooms in Kyoto to show the effects of climate change has passed away; fortunately, another scientist has volunteered to continue his project.

they won't let me have one based on my surname, unfortunately (I'm several generations disqualified)

Note: I am fine with nuclear power plants as long as they are not mismanaged (including large delays and massive construction budget overruns)

Accelerating the switch to renewables + EVs is necessary for ecological, economic, and national security reasons - but a large part of the population (and politicians they elect) consists of conservative idiots who prefer resource dependence on authoritarian shitholes...

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

The end of the beginning, as people realize “oh i can’t just throw ~10000$ worth of tokens at every problem, i actually have to use this new tech thoughtfully”

Hey, @washingtonpost.com: Fuck off. Repubilcans started this. You thought it was fine when they did. Oh, and you don't beat a bully by giving in. cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thu...

Zelenskyy played hardball & it played off. Get wrecked Fidesz

”How is this legal” is a really funny thing for a republican to say in 2026

which is why it's very important to organize in advance, especially if it's Vance on the ticket

what if we made an entire administration out of nixon and herbert hoover

This is remarkable really

And the worst aspects of John Adams and Woodrow Wilson to boot!

I keep saying it: it’s impossible until it isn’t

you could never have imagined in 2002 that Bush would become persona non grata no matter what happened

Trump has better infrastructure, but… he’s also fucking up even worse

that’s multiple polls this week with his approval in the low - not mid - 30s

if republicans get absolutely wiped out in november, which seems likely, this could really fall completely apart as they desperately try to pivot to something less toxic

The impression I get is that anglosphere masculinity is simply becoming increasingly restrictive as women get a better shot at more and more things. Because it's fundamentally negative in definition, the more equal women get, the less space masculinity has to occupy. And well, then you get this shit

well played Mike

i think if you want to say that the VA plan is vengeful and Becoming The Monster and all of that you need to explicitly grapple with the 2031 reset to nonpartisan redistricting.

otherwise i just kind of assume you don't realize it sunsets

Hakeem Jeffries naming specific representatives that they're going to destroy with counter-redistricting (in response to a GOP led initiative in FL) has real "I'm not fucking around, I'm gonna shoot the hostages" energy (laudatory)
