Dude needs to take a number and get to back if the line. We’ve got plenty of other shit to do before we have time to listen to his bullshit bluster.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Those guys are still the worst if the worse who couldn’t make it in the military or traditional law enforcement. The only thing blue states should be doing with them is thinking about reducing their sentences for naming names and spilling dirt on Noehm and Lewandowski’s illegal orders.
That Malaysian dude needs to stop popping off about american politics. If he shows up to meet his Right wing heroes, ICE will just disappear him so like why stan them so hard?

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.
Bold choice on their part to bring back the death penalty at the same time they’ve chosen to commit and confess to every crime there is.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

A symptom of this is how we’ve redefined “successful business” from “making more money than it spends” to “making more money than it did last year”. We’ve lost the concept of being satisfied.
The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Trump was 43 years old when Nicolae Ceaușescu happened; people have short memories.
starving over 40 million people right before major holidays + massively upping healthcare costs does strike me as a rather bold move this early in the authoritarian consolidation game for any given fascist regime, but I guess we’ll see what happens

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Portland City Councilor @counciloravalos.bsky.social woke up to her car and home engulfed in flames late last night. She had to grab her cat and escape to safety.
