I understand that this is frustrating & I feel the same frustration at times

But I really do think (regardless of current events) that it's the duty of the people in a democracy to be pushy assholes to their officials at all times. Make them be better. Make them hate their jobs.
Everyone from Gallego to Pritzker is screaming that ICE as it stands needs to go, then Bluesky got mad that they weren’t at protests, then Klobuchar got attacked *for attending a protest* instead of Doing Something, the Senate Dems Did Something and a major tactical win and it gets branded a cave.

i've been watching the coyote on Alcatraz's progress with great interest. a week-ish ago, a coyote SWAM to Alcatraz for the first time and looked fuckin rough after the dangerous swim. but the coyote is doing fine now, gorging itself on unprepared birds & rats who are dealing with a sort of Godzilla

the tension between the "this is not who we are" set vs the "this is exactly who we are" set (tabling the "who do you mean we" thing for now) i do think misses out on the "who we pretend to be" angle. i do think it's probably at least somewhat bad that we've completely stopped pretending

I guess what frustrates me about the assertion that "all politicians lie" is ppl think the next sentence is "and that's fine" & not "and we should catch, fine, & publicly humiliate any of 'em who are bad enough at it to get caught"
One of the most toxic ideas I encountered across basically every reporter I worked with when I did the job was "all politicians lie"

Something so plainly false (mostly they are telling you the truth) that somehow came to be the "smart position".

Its not smart and it ruins news coverage.

I fully believe Mr Big cheated on Carrie throughout their relationship, met Natasha when he went to Paris, and only stopped cheating coz his dicky-doo quit which is why Carrie says they were at their happiest "at the end". Lol she watched him die. Good.

I'm sorry but the "urban/rural split" is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard & it's such a blatantly engineered part of the culture war that it's genuinely embarrassing to see people engage with seriously

Maan, I already don't like the idea of even giving auto pay my info tbh
"the ai agent can pay your bills for you!"

cool like autopay

"It will navigate to the sites itself!"

ok a less convenient, more expensive auto pay

"it can log in with your information!"

a less convenient, more expensive auto pay where I give you my personal information

WHAT

Punishment by death is inescapably wrong.
Yoon Suk Yeol should not get the death penalty, because (complicated legal explanation coming up!) absolutely nobody should get the death penalty.

Its kinda really funny that the biggest cultural impact of the Charlie Kirk assassination is that his name has become something middle schools yell to piss off their teachers

Honestly though if you're buying fucking Eric Adams' NYC Coin, you should've seen this coming
Eric Adams, former NYC mayor, launched a memecoin (cryptocurrency) today. He marketed it as an “NYC Token” and used media appearances and his social media to promote it.

Within hours, Adams then drained its liquidity, apparently having scammed investors out of $3.4 million—a move called a rug pull.
