It’s really funny what gets picked up on here and what doesn’t. I spend months talking about fascism, labor, and baseball—crickets.

I post one (1) joke about how the Brits pronounce “tacos” and I’ve got em in my mentions instructing me in the finer points Spanish dialects and European geography.

I would simply have some fun on the internet and not take everything you read on here—or yourselves, for that matter—so seriously.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

I think the way British people pronounce “tacos” is racist. Like c’mon folks, you use the rounded A (a) sound for just about every voiced A you’ve got. But suddenly “tacos” gets a short A (æ)…

Feels deliberate.

Initially, Perez spun a convincing Democratic rebrand, one that was perceived as an honest departure from politics as usual and resonated with the working class. Now, she has proven to be just another example of the kind of politics we need to get rid of. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-bet...

The Betrayals of Marie Gluesenkamp Perez

The representative from Washington has been hailed as the future of Democratic politics. But for those of us who actually live in her district, she’s just more of the same.

Greta Thunberg has more courage & moral clarity than any world leader I have ever seen.

Bar none.

Period.

That tiny 22 year old is often accused of being annoying, but what she is, is unyielding to moral ambiguity. If it’s wrong, she says so until someone listens.

She deserves the Nobel Prize

If anything, a more biased shift toward pro-Israeli and pro-Zionist coverage at CBS under her direction will push the public leftwards even faster. People have now been thoroughly primed to detect the hasbara bullshit when they see it—imagine seeing it on “60 Minutes.”

Birds lost, Phils lost twice. Rough couple days.

But the Chiefs just got beat by Jacksonville in one of the funniest ways possible and have a losing record again. Maybe there is some karmic justice.

Thinking about a NYT article from June 1881 reporting on a New York brewery workers strike that sided with owners because it described the strikers as “socialistic” and “indulging in liberal potations of beer” at their union rallies.

Let us all indulge in liberal potations of beer, socialistically.

Identifying public officials isn't "doxing." People have the right to know who is working for their government. Nor, for that matter, is it "radical left-wing terrorism." So it's frustrating to see platforms caving to these bad faith characterizations. www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/06/1...

Another effort to track ICE raids was just taken offline

People over Papers was removed by Padlet, the platform it was built on, yesterday.
