this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

He’s directionally correct on the “no interference in Venezuela” thing, but man is it sobering to think this is how people will respond to the next administration trying to restore USAID.

I had never paid to subscribe to a YouTuber until I started watching @memoriamatters.bsky.social, who is, I think, the best I’ve seen. Extremely charming little perk here.

You should follow her here and on YouTube. youtube.com/@memoriamatt...

I am not a categorical pacifist and would face a hard test of my ideals were my nation ever involved in a conflict I thought was just so I guess it’s fortunate that this is an idiotic and immoral war of choice that absolutely no one should support.

Don't take our word for it! The illustrious mayor thought so highly of the Wide Awakes' gift to him - a twist on a genuine, celebratory flyer upon 1860 Lincoln's election - that he included it in not one, but of his videos!

This, and SO MUCH MORE at wideawakes.army 👁

One of the biggest quality plunges in comedy but honestly six excellent seasons is a lot. Even in S6 where there’s already some Flanderization going on they’re knocking out bangers like Scott’s Tota
I think the reason I end up hating THE OFFICE is that it does have these moments of intense and bitting satire and then it ditches all of that in favor of a false and sacrine ending for most of the cast. I mean Jesus fuck this bit referenced is just so fucking biting.
very bizarrely, one of the few things I've seen that captures the rhetorical effectiveness of historical fascism is the bit in the Office where Jim gives Dwight one of Mussolini's speeches to deliver to a paper conference and it absolutely kills.

the no tax on tips thing getting no serious pushback and the growing right-wing opposition to property taxes is a dark omen for the future of political economy

paying your taxes is good and that includes you (yes you) not just "billionaires"
The year is 2035. California's entire base of taxation is young renters and their entire budget goes to insuring suburban McMansions built in fire hazard regions. Half of Florida is underwater financially and the other half literally. Illinois is fine but still fucks up transit funding constantly.

The thing that bothers me about our post-pandemic COVID discourse is how much of it isn't about how to do things better next time, it's playing Monday morning quarterback. It's not about learning, it's about spending years trying to win arguments that people had online from March 2020.
this is a good response to In Covid's Wake

what Kucharski gets right, crucially, is holding in tension the fact that the shutdown was brutally and inequitably costly, and the fact that not doing a shutdown would have been even more brutal and inequitable

“The true champs of safe drunk driving.”

And there it is.

So much anti-social behavior boils down to, “But I’m More Specialer than everyone else and their rules shouldn’t apply to me!”
I have a bunch of intersecting thoughts here but basically 1) excessive alcohol consumption is an urban activity, 2) we shouldn’t legalize drunk driving and 3) we should more heavily penalize parents whose kids abuse alcohol in such a drastic fashion.
