Another fantastic playtest with some very smart people at Game Kastle in College Park 🎪
Bye bye bowser, you won't be missed. At least I never have to worry about accidentally having to see you on a bus or metro car.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

"Trump is a fucking idiot who gets rolled by anyone who's nice to him" theory remains undefeated, putting someone like Mamdani in there is like having Randy Johnson sub in for a 5th grade Little League game
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?
TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person

Of all my posts, this is the one that I wish would be shared widely. I hope people will donate to Bryan's legal defense, but even if you don't, it's important to be aware of the human rights horrors that are going on around us on a daily basis.
Please help Bryan, a decent and hardworking person who was just kidnapped off the street in DC. He has been in this country since he was a child. He has a business and a family. He does not deserve such shameful cruelty. Please share.

I am begging Democrats to run a very simple presidential campaign of "I will throw every one of these criminals in jail and reverse everything they did"
NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

I'm not a massive fan of the "how does it poll" approach to reporting the Epstein stuff. Maybe I'm just a nerd, but I don't think that analysis tells us anything of any real importance.

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Live your life in such a way that the things you say when you're the highest you've ever been don't get archived by the FBI and later circulated widely on Bluesky for universal and deserved ridicule

One of the upshots of metapolitical culture in the US is it devalues the ability of people to simply believe in things and pursue them, because stuff like electability replaces that.
When you say "we are going to win" to people, you give everyone permission to believe that

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win. Please do repeat this insight.
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.

The notion that government subsidies or credits can only ever be morally justified when used "the right way" is a tightly held principle among the class of people who will use any loophole possible to reduce their income tax liability and then say "don't hate the player, hate the game"

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

everyone talking about Frieren's demons has missed a better comparison, so-called "AI" like Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, a thing that mimics human syntax brilliantly, isn't capable of human thought or emotion, but merely preys on people

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

In general I think a lot of people go around with an idea in their head that wages under capitalism are determined by how much people need when the reality is that they are determined by a labor market where firms attempt to pay the lowest wages possible even if they are unlivable.
