Why why why are people just ignoring how much of a problem this guy is? It's like they looked at Fetterman and said "surely that can't happen again"

horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…

ever since my state government job got restructured out of existence I've been thinking about how I'd make a great addition to @cpsc.gov

hire me to answer the phone calls you want to avoid and I'll stock the office with really good snacks

Tonight in the ai reading group i was reminded of something that happened in 2006 after I dropped out of college, when I was living in a run-down old house next to jb alberto's in rogers park with a bunch of dudes.

it was, as you can imagine, not clean.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

"Where are all the campus protestors?" ask the grinning ghouls who cheered on the brutal suppression of campus protests

He literally said why he did it and this article is like "a motive hasn't been determined."
Lol

The US can automatically register men to go to war but can’t register them to vote.

They can afford billions on war but can’t give their citizens healthcare, housing, childcare or food assistance.

War is profitable.

People are cannon fodder.

It’s exactly how the ruling class wants it.

That is an excellent point

I think both things are true. I was deeply worried about what was about to happen and am also kind of amazed that even the best possible result winds up being due to his incompetence and deep personal flaws

Benjamin Ryan @benryanwriter Fresh off her loss to Daniel Biss, 48, in the Democratic primary for Illinois' 9th congressional district, progressive influencer Kat Abughazaleh crowd sourced tips on turning 27. "I'm trying to enjoy the time I do have," says Abughazaleh.

new personal scandal just dropped and it’s just the fact that I Have A Birthday

Every photo of Altman looks like he just got caught jerking off in the ball pit at Chuck E Cheese

I know it's late, but I need you all to realize that as soon as we started paying attention to these races, Moms for Liberty & their ilk, started losing. They exploited a window of apathy & did a lot of damage, but they just cannot win when actually opposed. No unopposed elections anywhere.

I went to Costco this week for the first time in years and am ready to turn over management of the country to them

A temporary ceasefire doesn’t change the fact that Trump threatened to kill an entire population via social media. 

Pure madness.

Trump must be impeached or removed through the 25th amendment.

There's an old Soviet joke: A man goes to a newspaper stand every day, buys a copy of Pravda, glances at the front cover, curses, and throws it away. After a few weeks of this the seller just has to ask what's going on: "why do you always look at the cover but never inside?" "I'm looking for an obituary." "An obituary? But those are in the back!" "Oh no, the obituary I'm looking for will be on the front page."

Feel like sharing this again for no particular reason.

I miss those days

Ugh. I'm sorry. His supporters seem almost as bad as him to me. I don't get it. There is very little to recommend him

Is this about Newsome? Because he's awful and it confuses me how people don't see it

The Sopranos and The Wire

Also all of the Aaron Sorkin TV shows should be in the same universe.

We've learned nothing from Fetterman's betrayal.

Generative AI has led to entirely new paradigms and unprecedented accelerations in the fields of fucking yourself over in public in the most embarrassing and humiliating way possible

Gross

The reason they think that is because it is a field that many women go into and because there is a pattern that takes place throughout history with such consistency that it is absurd - once a field/sport/hobby/anything attacks close to 50% women in terms of interest men stop doing it.
Men are dumb

Ahh yes because current events are in no way relevant and comparisons should never be made. How dull.

We have been fucking warning you! About the Nazi shit on the left! Platner and the shrugs at him and his blatant Jew hatred were frankly inevitable. Telling Jews our lived experience of antisemitism on the left isn’t real was absolutely going to lead to telling us a Nazi tattoo is no big deal.

The conversation about what has been allowed is definitely important - but probably not as important as not allowing it moving forward

I'm not saying it is a good or bad thing. I'm explaining an argument that goes beyond "letting people gamble on war"

But if you want to understand it instead of preaching about what people should or shouldn't do, maybe do some research into "wisdom of the crowd" and why it might be valuable 🤷🏼‍♂️

Okay that's fair.
