Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

The NFL is the most toxic American sports league by a country mile. Enablers, abusers, grifters, and psychopaths at all levels, and that's before the repeated head trauma!

One of the reasons I insistently call it X and not Twitter is because X is quite literally a propaganda platform run by Elon Musk and heavily utilized by the Trump administration and that is notably distinct from Twitter

The right has AI slop, the reactionary center has “Ordinary,” and the rest of us are listening to tons of new and weird stuff that has about as much success breaking through the mainstream as left ideas have of getting covered in mainstream media

I'm not sure I like having people who say "it felt more different" determining the fate of my 401k

Once upon a time, the social media accounts of federal agencies weren't a stream of fascist, white nationalist garbage interlaced with whiny culture-war posts. Earlier this year, even!

This should be an unremarkable streetscape found in nearly every decent sized city across the country.

I finally found some genuinely well-designed shared streets here in New York City.

Broadway in NYC. People sitting outside and bikes going by.

Someday, I'll have enough money to afford a tract of wooded land, and then it's OVER for you bitches (because I'll be in my cabin sipping tea by the fire)

There are now two Americas when it comes to housing:

In one, people work multiple jobs and still can't afford a home.

In the other, housing isn't a place to live but a portfolio to grow.
