I wonder if it’s as simple as “Ready Player One made over 600 million, and if you squint, this established IP is similar!”

Gross! Good to know the rancid vibes I got from him were correct! Also, morbidly curious where these ghouls think you could even PUT a “poor farm” without all the townies complaining about how it hurts the character of their neighborhood

Not sure why there's suddenly a complete freakout on the far right about bloodlust from liberals for revenge come 2029. Could be mirror propaganda to stir up preemptive crackdowns or just a realization of how hated these people are.

Matt: Democrats should move rightward on their views

The "groups": You mean in terms of taxes?

Matt: LOL no...no not those views

The "groups": So....the regulatory state?

Matt: Haha no not those views either

The "groups": Which views, exactly?

Matt: Oh, you know the ones

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

This is the coolest idea, and I’m so mad that it doesn’t exist. I want to hidden blade Forrest on behalf of secret-assassin Grant, damn it!

You would be amazed at how reactionary a lot of the union membership and even leadership (who should know better) is locally. I had a rank-and-file guy complain about city property taxes being too high to me. You are a public employee! How do you think you get paid?

If I were Republican leadership, and I had made gains with young Hispanic men in the last election, my message would definitely be “we hate and want to ‘deport’ insanely popular American Citizen global superstar because he speaks Spanish!”

The man wrestled multiple well-received matches for WWE! How are they trying to say he won’t appeal to “real America“ or whatever?

For almost 20 years, I’ve occasionally thought about the incredibly, incredibly awkward appearance when Daddy Yankee endorsed John McCain in 2008, so I guess him?

His bigger problem is not wanting to work with people he didn’t know as he got older. You cannot convince me that the UNC thing wouldn’t at least be less of a tire fire if Lombardi wasn’t on his staff for no apparent reason

I think Portland is correct. Based purely on vibes, I think the Upper NE divide is set too high in Massachusetts though. I’d maybe do north of Pittsfield? On a diagonal until you reach the Winchendon area?

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 2d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

I still can’t believe they designed the courthouse that way. Didn’t the same thing happen a few years ago?
