i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
clinton's plan to beat trump was to elevate him above the rest of the republican field and then coast to an easy victory. i don't think she was right about that
Paradoxically, this too makes you lose your mind
We need a name for this, something like vice-signalling, where people, usually in or around tech or finance, claim to do some quirky bullshit that patently doesn't work just so they can post about it to build their personal brand.

I don’t think losing an election means you were “right about everything” or “tried to warn” all of us
Picard: It's a computer simulation of thoroughbred horse racing called Umamusume Pretty Derby. The program was quite popular in the 21st century.
Riker: Mm. 'Pretty' is accurate. That Goldship is quite something.
Picard: I hadn't noticed. I enjoy the simulation's tactical qualities.
Riker: Yes, sir.
I make jokes about Paradox gamers, but even they could have told you that!
That big scary survey about Gen Z men being more regressive than Boomers is so flawed. An image of young men is being manufactured in the media and we should be very concerned about that.
Why do pollsters keep doing this???
I hate the American century of humiliation shit so badly it's a dogshit right wing nationalist framing of imperialism in China and then Americans are using it when someone embarrassing happens to the US and it's like buddy tens of millions of people Died
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Hope they include the first recorded instance of a man getting pegged

My favorite opinion that is unique to and localized to bluesky posters™️ is, “the internet used to be great, and now it sucks, because there are people younger than me who are on it”
IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care
BECAUSE my position is immutable
i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

Kamala Harris: I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. I'm not into saying 'I told you so', but we did see it coming. she’s speaking at rev jesse jackson’s funeral on live TV
she just did this at a man's funeral

Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people.
damn it’s crazy how the slurs filled the chat all by themselves. couldn’t be helped i’m sure. chats are always devolving of their own accord
everyone thinks they’re shadow banned whole time they’re just annoying
