Even with no end in sight
And though my feet are on the ground
The wind has left me light
And suddenly, I feel spellbound!
We are unique, like two bright stars
And in this world, we will be loved
For who we truly are!

I have become fully convinced of this. More live sports posting, more bird content, more threads about your Frasier rewatch, etc.
i think this site really needs to figure out how to grow the non-politics verticals (the baseball moment was a good thing!) because i suspect a lot of the bad clusters come out of the political clusters driving 95% of ENG-lang posts
I'd be happy with big non politics accounts.

If the biggest donor to the DCCC/DNC ran a website where you could use AI to take women's clothes off I feel like there'd be a demand for Dems to give the money back.

Now it's true enough that, back when Congress *did* exist, it often did bad things!
Because the People (or at least those who were allowed to vote for Congress) wanted bad things to happen.
That's not the fault of the form of government, it's the fault of the American People/political class

There's a SPECIFIC failure mode we're experiencing right now, about the form of government
It's "Congress doesn't exist anymore"
Which has reached its apotheosis this year, but had been true in weaker form for ~ten years before that
This, imo, is bad. It makes the whole system fall apart.

Why didn’t they see signs of how McSweeney’s lads would behave in power, in the idiotic stitchups, playground bullying and relentless lying? Because left wingers are inferior people who deserve to be stomped. They see no continuity from that to how Labour now treat real people who matter, like them.

I don’t like begging citing ill health (or at all) but I’m still recovering from the pneumonia and having trouble walking with my messed-up foot… if anyone can please spare a gift to help me keep a roof over my head, I could really use $95 for the 6th to the 8th to cover both room and deposit.
I have a room until the 2nd, trying to arrange another four nights after that (still the cheapest option), that’s about $200 I don’t have plus another $50 for deposit (I won’t get the previous back the same day).
I know everyone is poor but please can anyone help me? 💕💸💸💕 #transcrowdfund #mutualaid

My strategy of making my enemies irrelevant continues to win. Especially on a personal level.
Spend more time n energy with the people making a positive impact. Ignore / block the folks you don't like. No need to waste resources on them, especially when it's trivial beef like "they post bad takes".

There is no practical purpose to declaring, loudly and often, that the 2026 election will be unavoidably rigged. It helps nothing and no one. It's also not true, but that hardly matters.
The sole virtue of such proclamations is feeding the expectations of one's fans and generating engagement.
