There is a Hallmark movie this year called She’s Making a List that does have its main stakes that the naughty and nice list is being reduced to an imperfect ai based algorithm. But also about hooking up with a hot widower because Hallmark.

“Look reporting from mom and dad is clear that Santa leaves all our presents. So— it’s not really a question of if those are the boxes in the top of the closet are the Christmas presents. It’s why mom and dad are so focused on keeping us from them.”

CK was the biggest comedian in the world within the last decade pre-sexual assault revelations. He won a Grammy in 2020. He still dominates comedy discourse.

My issue is that blue city administrations are by and large not run by leftists whereas historically I’ve seen leftists on principle support YIMBY ideas even if you might disagree with the efficacy of their proposed solutions.
December 19, 2025 at 7:48 PM
I feel like a lot of your thinking operates with this theory of Leftism being in opposition to YIMBY-ism, and like why? I genuinely don’t understand that premise.

But like I get along fine with rednecks as a trans woman and I don’t even know if Matt Yglesias would know how to talk to them.

A lot of elite male commentators really are these mealy mouthed dorks who are scared to stand up for something. They’re for lack of a better term, pussies. And they project that outwards. They see themselves as stoic thinkers wrongly associated with feminizing forces.

I believe God created the challenge for me to suffer through gender dysphoria, to see myself as more than my material body and love the me who truly exists. God gave man the wisdom to create medicine to ease my pain through gender transition. I am in no way saying God made a mistake. She is.

Louis jerked off in front of women not as successful than him, had his people threaten them after the fact, pretended that he was a stupid baby who didn’t know that was a weird fucking thing to do, and then a lot of folks pretended most men don’t know that’s a weird fucking thing to do.

I am genuinely begging ya'll to look a bit deeper. Look at Burlington, NC. Look at the precincts that turned. Ya'll are flattening this to these big races, and you're sanding over Democrats showing they can turn red precincts.

in Alamance County, NC the city of Burlington went blue and it's rightfully being seen as a big fucking deal. Describing Tuesday night as a half-dozen scattered elections ignores what is happening at the local level. Typical elitist intelligentsia refusing to see and just guess at this nation.

Fucking Just Green Goblin'ed his ass

I beg of you to please just go get a real fucking job, Matt. The party more than anything doesn't need losers.

The issue isn't that you're transphobic or white washing climate catastrophe--I think you're naive on trans issues and you are doing the latter thing-- but the bigger issue is you're a bore. You still represent this condescending asshole-ness that is what people hate about Liberals.
November 5, 2025 at 4:55 AM
And it's just obnoxious. You have AOC literally saying the same basic message you have more succulently then you've said anything. Your calls for a big tent and moderation aren't unique and your martyrdom over them is embarrassing.
November 5, 2025 at 4:53 AM
That's not to say every politician should run as an open Leftist. The point is you talk about winning but when we see a Democrat catch lightening, when we see one of them win the attention war, you've been there wringing your hands with your mealy mouthed bullshit while rambling about needing to win

Bro-- a super attractive, charismatic candidate who is grasping the attention of the public talking directly about affordability, positioning himself as the perfect foil for Trump, and not talking down to conservatives (Go see his abortion video where he acknowledges a conservative talking point)

Okay but the Michael Jordon joke in the sequel is pretty good

Obama held a reactionary view of trans rights, you come for us and we come back. But institutions like the NYT and the Atlantic have laundered ignorance that it was the Dems offering aggressive takes instead of mostly protecting gains that just happened under the radar.
November 2, 2025 at 3:25 PM
The issue is moderate elite collaborators who have fostered the lie of trans rights being a novel pet cause of the last decade instead of a decades long battle that must people never gave a shit about with even the most controversial point of sports inclusion being a half a century old.

Also as someone with a Jewish wife and a Jewish son facing raising antisemitism, I can hold nuance, but I don't think I'm crazy for having a pretty stringent policy against guys with Nazi tattoos. I'm not crazy or woke. Just don't want my family to be persecuted.

I… I thought your quotations were you being hyperbolic
October 24, 2025 at 12:43 AM
So annoying that MTG’s blatant antisemitism or conspiracy theories are not an issue. But her fairly being concerned about people having to access to healthcare and actually standing up for her constituents is her being craaaaaazy

Trump is waiting for Zohran to be mayor to attack NYC. Zohran has a pretty clean past, is handsome, young, charming, and knows how to use social media. He could be the perfect symbol of resistance against Trump, but Trump is betting on mealy mouth dweebs and moderates to be useful idiots for him.

I mean let’s be real, there were a lot of people who were horny as fuck to go on rants about pronouns and DEI regardless of data or reality.
