I love when you tell people how terrible Newsom is, they're always like, "Well, it's nice to have ideals, but if it comes down to him or the Nazi in the general, *I* am going to vote for him"

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

I'll admit it's very dower on this bitch
The only platform more anti-art and anti-pop culture than bsky is LinkedIn.
Bluesky is the worst place I’ve seen for discussing pop culture. It’s anti-art but also anti-schlock! Someone once explained very seriously that I “communicate differently because I listen to music and watch TV, the way many in Gen X do” and I started laughing at this but was also kinda horrified

it’s a good thing this guy was born now and not the early 1800s or he’d probably run a “sustainable” cotton business
I say this with utmost respect, but Taylor is an absolute tool for saying this privately or publicly.
I can say on good authority that it takes 7 to 10 years to develop game development skills to “good enough” to produce commercial game content. 7-10 years plus the cost of a university education.

this is absolutely part of the equation. Look at how virulently angry they are at Renee Good and her wife.
I've been telling people that the reason this is happening in no small part is because they see urban white Minnesotans as race traitors. For having a semi-integrated society at all, but also for 2020.
