Every western country has absurd news bias that favors the ruling classes and yet Sheinbaum, Lula, Petro, and Sanchez were able to build leftist majorities. We don't need media hegemony to win and it may even be harmful to have our every delusion verified that way.

Workers: fuck you

Management: oh yeah! What if we shut the whole thing down? How would that feel, like if we struck the whole thing? Like a general strike?

Workers: *gasp* oh no not that

Spanberger sees the turnout in NYC (a district equivalent in size to the entire state of Virginia) and knows if turnout in VA ever approaches these numbers in NYC that her career and every loser centrist like her is over

Abigail Spanberger takes a swipe at Mamdani, saying "maybe he should be a Democrat" and that his campaign promises are dishonest.

Following the documented rape of a Palestinian prisoner in Sde Teyman, the military prosecutor ordered the arrest of the soldiers involved.
There was govt-supported riots trying to prevent their arrest. In response, she leaked the video evidence.
Now she has been removed by the Israeli govt.

if you're on the left in the US you need to build your own media apparatus (FDR or AMLOs morning pressers for the more recent example) bc the global media are slobbering hyenas and they can only be outmatched or outrun, you can't beat them at their own game

Me (before seeing Hamilton): I dunno this is kinda cringe, not for me, musical theater is hack anyway

Me (after seeing Hamilton): this show is racist as hell and it's encouraging white people to see other races as clowns and fools

Southern Jacobin @thomas26july.bsky.social · 1d

Hamilton is a modern day Vaudeville shuck and jive act. We can debate LLMs intentions but the way the audience acts makes clear what the show has become.

My play style for the Indiana Jones video game is I don't think about the game for weeks and then I see some shit on my feed and think "I'm going to go shoot some Nazis" and then I boot up The Great Circle and do just that.

Hell no I'm just negging you. Did a ride in coastal NJ last year and it was less than 1000ft over 45 miles and I was losing my mind at how boring it is.

I have to select a very specific route to be under 1400ft in 25 miles. Otherwise everything is 2000ft per 30mi minimum

Capitalists will move the skies and stars when their workers cry about the daylight going away before they give their workers more time of their own under the sun and sky.
