Guillotine curious.
There will be a lot of mid-to-terrible takes from middlingly informed Anglo pundits about why Kast won the Chilean presidency, so instead, please read a thread from a middlingly informed Chilean (who voted against him). The TL;DR: Mandatory voting=Grumpy & Apathetic+Punishing Govt's Shortcomings.

The real lesson of Christmas is that if God had wanted to win over working-class Judeans, he should have sent down a less divisive Messiah.

I wish the neck beards writing for the Atlantic had the stones to actually write transgressive articles. Publish "Charlie Kirk was a piece of shit" or "Pete Hegseth should spend the rest of his life in solitary confinement" if you're really such a fearless truth teller.
“Those of us on the left should be fighting to improve protections for workers of all races, and thereby for the betterment of people’s material conditions regardless of their views,” Arash Azizi argues:
Why the Cinnabon Story Doesn’t Make Me Happy
The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

I think a good rule of thumb going forward is that, if you see somebody wearing smart glasses, you should probably beat the living shit out of them. If nothing else, permanently destroy the glasses. I think people should have a mortal fear of leaving their house while wearing them

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

On the night of January 6th, when the Congress was finally able to reconvene, the worst part was hearing Democrats making self-righteous speeches claiming "This is something that happens in Banana Republics".
Well, the Banana Republic just taught the empire a lesson in how to save a Democracy. 🇧🇷♥️✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿

Pardoning Nixon, moving beyond Watergate, brought us his henchmen for decades. Democrats aren't being magnanimous about letting bygones be bygones. They are being cowards. Holding people you know to account takes bravery, that they lack. So we need to make them do it kicking, dragging, & screaming.
There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Brought a little of unpoliteness to Toronto by audibly swearing to TheyLied fucker distributing propaganda for being an antivaxxer babykiller. Ironically, for people paranoid about 15 minutes cities, he rode a bike. Crossing fingers.

The Zohran press conference is your regular reminder that the entire administration folds like tissue paper at the slightest hint of confidence and conviction, and thus the fact that national democrats are playing a game of capitulation and weakness is exactly why they're all getting away with it

his sons are losers. zohran's a winner.
Not only has he never looked at Don Jr. or Eric like this, he’s never been so happy to bask in JD Vance’s presence either.

He looks giddy. JOYFUL even.

Is Zohran a witch

One of the things that's very difficult to really take to heart about MAGA conservatives is that you can't get them on hypocrisy about their children because they really don't give a fuck about their kids
Everyone who posts this should note that Megyn Kelly has a 14-year-old daughter. Do not let her off the hook on this.
This was always where this was headed.

This is actually a pretty perfect encapsulation of the abject media failure that got us here: a prolific sexual predator who had close connections to the country's most powerful people is "a guy" and a two-time president is just "somebody" so the things they said about each other aren't newsworthy.
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear:

1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people

2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Afrikaren Musk being decreed into a trillionaire by his paid minions is about as serious as when my mum told me I was the most beautiful baby she'd ever seen.
Except she's never said that, she thinks another baby is the most beautiful, making her more rigorous and objective than Tesla's investors.

Similar to the Nazi group chat semi-apology responses, I think it is remarkable that the “Groyper” war is being framed pretty exclusively in terms of antisemitism, while the racism is unremarkable for them.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Pues que quiero hacerme infame en #BlueskyÑ, así que ahí va una idea +-:
El próximo año se cumplen 10 desde que Bob Dylan ganó el Nobel de Literatura. El 2026 deberian repetir lo de dárselo a un cantautor, pero Hispano o Luso parlante. Propongo la Triple S (Serrat, Sabina, Silvio) o Chico Buarque.

Día triste para el teatro chileno, y para varias generaciones que se criaron con los personajes que entregó magistralmente en la "época dorada" de las Teleseries con temática social del Canal Público (TVN). Hasta pronto, Héctor "Tito" Noguera.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
