I know I am way behind, but I can not believe y'all had no comments about that raft they crafted to pull Arthur in the water. I was laughing so hard I had to pause the show. When did they have time for that??

In generations to come, you will be asked: Where were you in the meme wars? Were your signs punchy enough to win the battle? How often did you reshare ai coffee shop chalkboard signs? Were you even in the fight???

When what you're doing is indistinguishable from what a paid troll would be doing to hurt Dems, probably a good time to pause and reflect

Demanding purity drives apathy, one of the most successful voter suppression efforts that Dems do to themselves

I could care less what she says, but know that if Dems did this 4 yrs ago for Biden nominees, the media would still be talking about it as a massive scandal today

Unless there was a massive trade in the last few minutes, I think you're talking about tomorrow nights game

Which other mayoral races should they be endorsing?

Do you want Legislative leaders deciding who should be elected?

How many mayoral races have they endorsed in the past?

jaysyk @jaysyk.bsky.social · 3d

Who? Name names or you're just generically pushing Dem infighting

Also, how many other mayoral races should they be endorsing? I thought we didn't want the 'big Dems' telling us who should be elected

I think folks that are criticizing Dem responses to this admin need to get more specific about who and what you're complaining about. If you're mad at minority leaders in legislative bodies, that have no power, then say so

There are +50M 'Dems', it sounds like you're ignoring the rest of us

Shapiro was the top reason I had to stop listening to ME. Every political interview was based on either letting GOP air talking points unchecked, or using them in bad faith to make Dems respond. Absolute garbage

This is slightly misleading. "Excited Delirium" isn't real, but it was invented by a Medical examiner in the 80s to incorrectly explain the deaths of sex workers. The cops and taser companies just latched on and ran with it for everything else

And if it was, and the media discovered it now, it would be treated as a giant scandal

For folks that don't know, these Rx discount card programs are not insurance. They use PBM riders to give cash payers, i.e. uninsured folks, a rate less than the absurd listed cash price. It's all a gimmick and scam by the whole industry

Everyone is caught up on the social post bit, but this is also affirming that the US has basically nothing to do with any agreement to end bombing of Gaza. It is and always has been Bibi's war

He's been a game changer since he debuted, excited to see how he impacts games all season after sparse mins in playoffs

Surprised y'all didn't speculate that Blue Dragon did the switcheroo decades ago and that's what he was about to tell them, but maybe that's just me

There are currently elections happening. Like right now, there are states with open early voting

Surrendering before the fight helps no one but the oppressor

If you're looking at this visual and realizing that this is the exact same message a bunch of people on this platform fill your feed with every day, you just learned how to spot a doom grifter

We're a week away from them marketing this to kids as 'real' imaginary friends

I think a leading indicator of that could be responses to a question not asked, "Has sports betting made your enjoyment of sports better or worse?"

There are former die hard fans that can't even watch games anymore bc of how much losing money has hurt them

jaysyk @jaysyk.bsky.social · 16d

Equally, it's bc enough people that don't really pay attention were fed a steady diet of 'Prices Are So High!' and were never told there aren't magic buttons to lower them

The sad thing is it's soooo much stupider than that...the article is just an attention grab using Swift to try to get some clicks

It amazes me that 4 GOP Senators could align as Independent, caucus with Dems, put a halt to all this bs, and be the most powerful Senators there are

Yet, nope. They like their power and attention, but it's not stronger than their cowardice

Did you have to search to find a third one? Or were those off the dome?

I did not know that was still a channel

I just associate that with reruns of quantum leap, macgyver, and old game shows
