not to be all i freaking love science or reddit atheist about this but i think it's probably bad how much space obvious quack shit is on the left. like you wanna play astrology that's fine but as soon as you claim you're healing people with zoom reiki sessions you shouldn't be taken seriously

i was perfectly willing to admit that joe biden had severe cognitive issues and that his people covered it up, so trump guys are gonna have to admit that grampy president genuinely thought that he was rolling out a landmark program of socialized tanning beds that cure cancer

STOP IT. These people are so fucking weak, and this shows it. Stop this!
This whole thing just horrifies me in more ways than I can quickly articulate, so if someone else out there feels the same way know you are not alone.

An stupid ideology formed out of loser shit is not an incoherent one! Just admit you aren't familiar with that type of too-online freak.

The apologists are straight up ignoring the opportunity cost of that labor and investment going to waste here - a person in the progressive/liberal lane that is cowed by the police means that the lane isn't open for somebody actually willing to take on that fight, while the pro-police side is free
Mamdani apologizing to NYPD and distancing himself from defunding the police shows why electoral politics risk burning people out. So much labor, emotional investment, and sacrifice go into politicians who deliver business as usual when the time comes.

You don't have to dance about it publicly but the hand-wringing from the cowards about Kirk being shot is pretty much disgusting at this point.

I've gone so far as to push my YT/Twitch subscriptions through my RSS reader, so that I'm not browing those sites for videos. RSS rules.
Here's this week's Better Offline. I'm joined by @molly.wiki to talk about how RSS can purify your news experience, the challenge of the newsletter economy, and what gives her optimism for the future.

This may be the most hit dogs I've ever seen holler in the replies, holy shit.
Please understand that if you air even a single ICE ad on your program, on your podcast, on your stream, you will never, for the rest of your mortal life, receive another dollar or another second of attention from me, or from millions of others.

I promise you, it is financial suicide.

I lived in SD for half a decade and have a soft spot for the Dads, and I personally think it's good. Flags fly forever, the Dodgers will never go away, who's got time to wait for a prospect to develop. Go big or go home bsky.app/profile/davi...
I don't think I'd love it if I was a fan of his team I really admire what a fucking wildman AJ Preller is at the trade deadline. Imagine being on a flight and looking out the window to see the pilot replacing parts of the plane in midair, or like painting flames on the fuselage. He is doing that.

I'm still salty about how much he fucked all of us over by prolonging the NHTSA investigations irt Musk because he wanted him as a 2028 donor, as well as his terrible changes to track tie downs on roads and the Flight Controller bullshit.
If Dems want lessons from Mamdani applicable across the country “it’s less about the ideology, and more about the message discipline of focusing on what people care about and the tactical wisdom of getting out there and talking to everybody,” Pete Buttigieg says on NPR.

I find it bizarre that we're forced to accept live-streamed genocide and are told that it's illegal to be opposed to it, but anyone who says the obvious about these guys is at best putting their account at risk and at worse potentially facing legal charges. and the obvious is: we need to kill them

This discourse is weird because I don't know why you're picking up the phone in the first place if you're not intent on saying something like "hello". Voicemail works
I have learned that Gen Z expects the person calling to say "hello" first, instead of the person answering; upending a century of phone norms. You know what? fine, I say. Phone calls aren't what they used to be anyway www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-phone-...
Gen Z doesn't say 'hello' when answering the phone. I'm concerned.
Gen Z is making up its own etiquette rules when it comes to answering the phone. Some of them aren't saying "hello." They want you to first.

people know they don't *have* to clap like a seal and condemn any blowblack towards the pro-israeli people, right?

Like you don't have to cheer it on either (and shouldn't, really), but come on if you're this sort of weenie 18 months into a genocide how could I trust you about anything else.
