If I were Pusha T, I would become rap's Weird Al

No who is that

I don't particularly care about Platner discourse at this point but "oh sure, he owns the means of production, but" is so funny

I really like Nolan but trying to work with cowards is a sucker's bet, not because it takes them too long to get to your side, but because their inherent cravenness means they're never actually ON your side. Many such cases.

Whedon is the worst thing to come out of Roseanne

Even in just a realpolitik foreign policy sense, if you're a non-nuclear state and anywhere in the ballpark of getting a weapons program going, you'd be fucking crazy not to do it. And our leaders are just letting that happen!

Why spend all your time and energy as an elected official trying to get voters to understand the significance of war in Iran when you can just vaporize 100 school girls? Browww brap brap brap

Some Dems are just gross racists, but you can also see a commonality in what Dems tend to give up on: wars against Muslims, immigration, police, queer rights, all things that are low-saliency for the average voter and would require them to do actual political education. These motherfuckers are LAZY.

Yes. He can say all kinds of popular things now, but he's never been anything more than a ladder-climber.

I don't think people remember how Lamb actually used his power when he had it!

Just spreading this around for all the people who were talking out their ass about how "we really messed up not running Conor Lamb for Senate"

Who were you on the old site, coward?

Okay, maybe that's overstating it. I'm a veteran of forums.

There's no torture you could invent to get me to say that "We made social media."

I am a veteran of good, honorable forums.

Whoever is writing social for @markwarner.bsky.social has no poetry in their heart or sense in their head.

Everyone's going back to school until we remember how to write rhetoric without implicitly arguing for war crimes

I'm trying to understand this sticker but I only know conversational sarcasm

Not if you don't get caught, which is definitely a plan that is going to work

You should cheat on your spouse, feministly, instead of having a selfishly frank conversation about your needs and desires as a couple.

I find it irritating that the AI Centrists flatten the criticism down to just a question of Does It Work? without any concern for whether it works like those old cartoons where an entire tree is lathed down into a single toothpick.

AI will be used for terrifying purposes where accuracy isn't of concern, like surveillance, and for slapping together disposable software for doing weird little tasks. The future is janky.

LLMs are technically very impressive! It's wild that they can do the things they can do, even if they mostly suck ass at the jobs they're being shoehorned into. But that shouldn't lead us to some centrist AI position that any of this sustainable.

Anti-AI Position: AI has few real use cases despite the overwhelming hype around how it's going to change human life, it isn't financially sustainable once the AI companies have to turn a profit, and it's devastating to the environment.

Pro-AI Position: Actually, it's p good at coding.

9/11 took a big chunk out of the anti-war lib population, then we lost even more once their favs all voted for the Iraq War, and then Obama finished the job by heroically droning a US citizen and his teenage son

I don't know if this is literally true about these two, but they're the type to have big ideas about "positive masculinity"

I mangled that sentence in the editing phase but I trust folks to get the gist

two big lib accounts arguing that it is inherently selfish for people to agree to an open marriage

The liberal's paucity of imagination extends even so far as to imagine people with emotional intelligence

I'm at a loss for what else has to happen in America for everyone who isn't a fascistic freak to understand this. Everything is about the systems, and The American System is designed to create Trumps.

This is why there's always so much drama on here. Media people lack the poster's spirit.

like a week ago SOME GUY was going on about how "vote blue no matter who" encourages people not to criticize candidates. but don't you dare criticize SOME OTHER GUY'S nazi-adjacent faux-working-class white guy.
