Whoops

having an amazing dinner with my wife and we both reminisced about how much Bon Appétit we watched at the beginning of COVID and how that company fumbled the bag so fast lol

Hen is so evil lol

The vaccine whisperers: Counselors gently engage new parents before their doubts harden into certainty Counselors in Québec hospitals discuss vaccines with new parents, trying to inoculate against the misconceptions that might infect them online.

Doctors weren't getting the job done — they were brusque or judgy or assholes (understandably!). So the government hired a corps of vaccine counselors, who would take parents in and talk to them nicely and help them think about their options. Vax rates rose 20% www.statnews.com/2019/08/05/t...

Capitol Hunters confirms Platner lied about why he could not get back into the Marines in 2009. It was because of his Nazi/antisemitic tattoo. He blamed Marine policy barring sleeve tattoos, but Marine policy grandfathered sleeve tattoos. It barred symbols of hate, which is what the Totenkopf is.

I've been thinking about the Rangers' decision to display One Riot, One Ranger, and what it says about who this team is for. So I wrote about that. It's a big ol' bummer.

LEWANDOWSKI: If this is your first flight on Fuck Plane...you have to fuck.

DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.

A wide-angle photograph of the interior of the U.S. House of Representatives chamber, showing a group of people — some in suits, others in casual clothing — moving along the side of the chamber near the wooden gallery seating. Several individuals appear to be law enforcement or security personnel. An inset circle in the upper right highlights a man in a white shirt crouching or climbing over the wooden chamber seats. The scene appears chaotic and tense.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is the person tasked with leading DHS now that Noem is gone

I am begging guys that are earning enough money to buy several towns from a single income source to stop diversifying their portfolios just because that’s what they see the other wealthy sickos around them doing

Come in and say hi!

I’m sorry, but why does everything have to revolve around Platner? Most leftists I see and know are either 1) against him or 2) not even talking about him. Why is he somehow the main topic of conversation when my spaces are either disavowing him or focusing their energy on organizing?

I am not discounting those experiences. I’m asking why you are jumping to that when it’s very clear spaces to the right are objectively and statistically worse. And, as an ally who organizes in said spaces, I can give some credit here to at least one organization that stresses safe spaces.

But we all saw this and it was part of the opsec debate.

Speaking of putting words in mouths, I brought up supporting leftist ideas— which are objectively better than anything to the right, flaws and all— and you mention how the Left is sexist. Why jump to that?

DSA and leftist candidates do all of this too. just because I can’t fit them all, doesn’t mean they’re somehow negated or ommitted. The Trans Rights Bodily Autonomy group does immense work in DSA.

I also find this point interesting because Stancil finally got the media he wanted, and when it didn’t go his way, he and his liberal supporters and defenders on here dogpiled the journalist, who was a woman.

I’ve not seen any more misogyny from the Left than I do from any other group. The accusations mostly sadly reek of online Bernie Bro 2016 used to knock left ideas. I’ve been offline in Left spaces that have set up better guardrails and consequences against this, BIPOC misogyny, transmisogyny, etc.

I agree. People should join DSA and/or other organizations and canvass for candidates that push for single payer healthcare, to abolish ICE, and to end arms to Israel. They shouldn’t spend much of their time complaining about things they do nothing about themselves. It’s not productive.

Sorry, but I’ve a hard time believing Stancil doesn’t influence this. You brought this up to me before and he made it a big thing on here. Also as someone who has a stake in this, I can safely say that I wouldn’t want narcissistic online personalities obsessed with media attention near me or my wife

like what specific things?

if you said Gaza was the reason Harris lost before Feb 2026 you got called every name in the book

what would you think is good substantive change? i was telling people to canvass for Zohran and join DSA. i also see that a lot from fellow comrades. is that wrong?

the starter pack thing had such a detrimental effect on this place because it was not an organic construction of followers. people flocked to accounts they thought had the answers outside of X (because some people they knew told them to) while said accounts had a validated ego boost for nothing.

i think we need to be honest about the limitations of platforms, not as much solely on whether one is rightwing or leftwing, but rather how well you can spread leftist ideology and get people active in reform. otherwise, you’re just shouting into the void or tallying engagement on a Substack.
