polls like this three years out are the worst kind of tautological consent-manufacturing.
"Look at the front-runners, so popular! Clearly we don't need to look for someone else!" So they stop looking and start shaming dissent. VBNMW my rosy red ass

Wikipedia is the platonic ideal of the internet, and the platonic ideal of the internet isn't capitalist, and we are inured in a capitalist system, so to keep the platonic ideal alive, you have to give it some goddamn money

just downgraded the fit for tomorrow's flight from jeans to sweats lfg
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

this is why people very far into the upper middle class should support building out a proper welfare state like @reprashida.govpeeps.us proposed the other day. you'd pay just a little for a tremendous amount of material security www.peoplespolicyproject.org/2025/11/20/r...
Rep. Tlaib’s Economic Dignity for All Agenda Would Bring Economic Security for Millions
The agenda would lower poverty by 42% and child poverty by two-thirds.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

If there is a CEASEFIRE in place and a country continues firing, that is not a “test“ that is a violation. There’s no wiggle room here, that is the inarguable objective reality. This is, non hyperbolically, logic that a 5-year-old would understand. But somehow it cannot be said by mainstream media.
