i am still capable of being surprised by 1) how many users here think it’s not antisemitism so long as you insist you’re only applying it to israelis and 2) how many of these ppl seem to think we cannot see them

Sometimes an actor dies and I'm like, "Oh. That's sad." When I heard about Diane Keaton I went, "What!? No!"

the inability to view any stand you personally disagree with as motivated by anything except clout chasing is a true disease of the soul and the fact the sufferers walk around like asymptomatic carriers openly saying things like this and thinking they have been insightful is part of the pathology

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

The number of liberals who are so eager to be antisemitic that they’re falling for very obvious photoshopped slop is concerning

anyway, here’s another example of how if AI slop or photoshopped nonsense aligns with people’s ideological priors on here they are just as eager to believe and spread misinformation as right-wing people on Twitter do, which they will then justify on the basis that “it feels true”

they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

see you all there

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

I’m not an OB but if the baby is in the placenta, I think Tylenol is the least of its problems

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."

Can vouch for this. In Philly and literally walked 3 blocks to take my child to daycare and then stopped at the grocery store to grab a few things across the street before walking home.

How bad are tariffs going?

I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business.

UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me.

That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Screenshot of message from UPS:

The more I think about it, the more I don’t care for Actually Romantic. It feels unnecessarily mean? sympathy is a knife isn’t Charli dissing Taylor, it’s Charli dissing Charli so this just feels uncalled for.

A sex-blind admissions policy at selective universities will not go the way that the Trump administration thinks it will.

Under the compact, a mix of nine public and private universities would receive favorable terms for government aid if they agreed to conditions like banning consideration of race or sex in hiring and admissions, capping international undergraduate enrollment, requiring that applicants pass admissions examinations and suppressing grade inflation. Universities with large endowments would be asked to waive tuition for students interested in the hard sciences.

Abortion rights is one of the few things Americans actually agree on and yet alleged Politics Knowers refuse to update their priors on this.

Most red states are being run by madmen and becoming hellholes for normies who care about basic government services, the right to an abortion & LGBT rights

it’s time for blue states to lock in, build housing, build transit, and build state capacity so we can thrive from red state refugee migration

Regime Accountant, CPA ☠️🎢 @regimecpa.bsky.social · 27d

There used to be a sort of social contract that the PMC classes had with red states that has been completely ripped apart and I honestly don't know how that's going to feed into housing market growth and corporate relocations.
