I’m just glad we finally got to the bottom of it.

stand up for us before it’s too late, cis folks.

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Third Way and other "moderate" Democratic groups and elites constantly bash progressive politicians and ideas. But moderate Democratic VOTERS really like raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations, Medicare-for-all, and Bernie Sanders. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

“We should have worked around the school’s schedule when bombing it” what a take

It doesn’t matter. What a nasty question. Wasn’t that nasty? We’re going to drill bigger and better than ever before. We’re going to drill bigger, we’re going to drill in places you never ever thought of.

I always hate when a random, short-lived character joins the ensemble in season 5. Who is this? Why is he always around? He’s not our friend, he hasn’t been through what we have

I always say ‘let sleeping dogs lie’: no one should be held accountable for what they say while dreaming, not even dogs

We should start modifying more words with “yester.” Yesterday and yesteryear—fine—but what about “I finished this yesterweek?” or “I told you yestertime that the yesterchance was your last.” We’re leaving so much on the table.

It’s different and not bad. But I think it gets bonus points for being different while avoiding being bad.

If it is a misrepresentation, that’s fair

And it’s not a war. Proof? Wars require us to ask permission from Congress. We didn’t ask permission from Congress, so it’s not a war.

I wasn’t aware the argument was because he said “they’ll move into analogous positions in the private sector,” I thought he said they should become farmers and roofers

Yes, if you change the entire dismissive language of telling people to go into hard labor to a completely different scenario that’s reasonable, it sounds more reasonable

Do you think roofing companies need a laid off government’s worth of payroll guys? What’s the confusion here

Clocking in

52 year old, showing up with a resume boasting a BS in statistics and 17 years in govt payroll middle management: yes I’ve always been interested in roofs, like what’s going on up there?

Real friends let their friends know when they’re being lame by crushing their soul for the rest of the day

Same. I don’t hate people, I just hate how short they’re falling of how great they could be. I’m a hype man that uses insults.

Took the letter to the post office, dim and uncleaned for years. The post man at the desk woke up, looked scared and confused, but after you passed him the envelope, he held it up and his face donned an expression of calm remembrance, and he looked almost like he might speak but could not

They were so afraid of being called woke by Nazis that they became Nazis, and now they just get called both things

He didn’t die or anything he just looks uncomfortably warm most of the time

John Fetterman’s body is still warm and you all are glazing a cool rough around the edges progressive with a very suspect history and politics smdh

Worst*

Parasocial bond-forming toxic word strings that make you suicidal in disguise

its kinda funny that, as we are re-running the 80s (iran, dementia president, culture boring, etc), the big technology upending everyone's worldview is......Transformers......

We are running out of “fell for it again” awards.

I feel like everyone is automatically assuming the worse about the NYT, simply because they’ve reliably been a shameless water-carrying trash receptacle for fascists

Props for using a clip of Walter White: the aging egotistical drug dealer driven to madness by feelings of inadequacy and increasing irrelevance, who ends up destroying the lives of those he purports to be “doing this for” in a self-destructive quest to compensate for his masculine insecurities.

afaik this video was cut after they killed over 150 children by double-tapping a school

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
