That’s it. This should be Gamergate 2.0. They took away a game where you could basically play Django, because “some” people might get offended.

This made me think of something - I know the Left doesnt celebrate nationalism in the traditional sense, but there’s something to riding the nostalgia/“the past was better” wave. Teen Vogue has existed since 2003, and the parent mag for a lot longer. Why not elevate something that already exists?

"where's the left media?" "where's fact-checked reporting?"

lately @teenvogue.com has run profiles: of Assata Shakur's revolutionary history; a 23-year-old Palestinian journalist; what's happening in Chicago's ICE protests; and organizing supporting LGBTQ+ youth

Good take. Wasn’t it Aaron Sorkin of all people that suggested a free for all convention, with debates led by Taylor Swift? They wanted it to be a carnival, which would have still been a Dem loss, but at least they would have gotten their ratings

That, but also these Gen Z cats never had Nick at Nite - a glimpse at the “heyday of America”, at least by television standards. My Nick at Nite was I Dream of Jeanie and Dick van Dyke Show. Kids today think Friends is nostalgia (and last I checked Friends was on the current Nick at nite)

#PSU I’d hear people say that Franklin was more of a figurehead and not an every down coach. I guess we can put that to bed, because this game looked (sounded, I could watch) like many others I’ve been through over his tenure

There’s also the bigotry. “Well we know you don’t earn it based on your accomplishments, so be thankful for OUR charity. “

A lot of anti car stuff focuses on the societal effects; we need to show people that cars are payday loans with wheels attached to them.

+1. Americans care about their social status, but they also care about their money. In the same way that housing experts show that spending more than 30% of your income on it is a problem, we need to break down the individual costs of car ownership and show how it traps regular Americans

There’s a whole cottage industry of “ I did didn’t leave the Democrats, they left lme” pundits who say nothing but this again and again. There’s another cottage industry of centrist pundits who claim to not agree with the bigotry, but advise Democrats to accommodate the bigotry, again and again.

Kerri Coombs @kerricoombs.bsky.social · 8d

If anybody was actually saying "I will join you if you accommodate my bigotry" it might at least make some kind of cynical strategic sense, but nobody is saying that.

Rollins: "It's Biblical - we've got to produce our own food. The president has talked significantly about the importance of onshoring our manufacturing. We also have to onshore our food. We have over the last decade begun to import more than we export, whether it's citrus or berries or even meat."
