Noting you approve of teasing to enforce certain norms and then flipping the fuck out and crying discrimination when you are challenged in perhaps the most kind way possible is so much of their entire ethos in one distilled bit.

I love whenever articles like this are all “SEE THE UNREASONABLE ANGRY DEMANDS OF THIS SJW TEACHER” and the teacher’s comment are always “please actually cite sources and try not to call your classmates demonic”

It’s literally giving “strong butt no brain” which seems on brand for current Dem leadership
The funny thing about "Strong floor, no ceiling" as a slogan for the Democrats is that I'm pretty sure an LLM could come up with something significantly better in 2 seconds.

the interesting thing is that Dems actually do have a track record of trying to correct for what they think the errors of the last admin were
so it’s very important that the next standard bearer believes that error was “not going hard enough on Trump” rather than “centrism was failed”

The thing is that Doing What Must Be Done is genuinely really hard and requires extraordinary political will! Biden tried to at least make a stab at it, but fell way short.
There's SO much inertia in favor of "ignore it and hope it goes away"

I’ll put it this way: I have significantly more optimism that we can beat this particular set of fascists than I do that Dems will do what is necessary not to hand the country right back over to the next batch four year later
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Mark Kelly says Pete Hegseth's reported double tap strike on a boat "seems to" be a war crime, and adds, "if what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We are not Iraq"

There is a whole mini-youth subculture that reads one Wikipedia post a day and share the obscure things that they learn with each other. Often, it ends up on them going down a weird research rabbit hole, which is pretty neat.
I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...
