In general it’s fine to post “we’re fucked” on your own account because you might feel that way and it might be therapeutic to say how bad everything is, but it’s not fine to reply “we’re fucked” to everyone and everything because that might not be what other people need to hear all the time

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

My biggest WTF nowadays is why so many men are out here yelling I GET NO PUSSY at the loudest volumes and like on social media and on TV and in the paper.

Trust me. We know. This is not and should not be a point of pride. Having no game and telling everyone is not good.
Fascinating reading stuff like this by right-wing pubs (this one written by a guy who has "two AI girlfriends") because it's the same thing every time: people were mean to me for exhibiting loser behavior, please don't look at the actual usage stats.

Crystal Palace have done it. They have won their first ever major trophy.

Are you kidding me? 86 means you're tossing someone from the bar or if you're back of the house it means you're out of something, but I'm gonna need some context about this also being slang for killing someone because I've never heard it
Trump officials accused former FBI director James B. Comey of threatening President Donald Trump after Comey posted a picture of seashells on a beach arranged to spell out “86 47.” Trump is the 47th president; “86” can mean banning or removing someone, but it can also be slang for killing a person.
Comey under investigation for ‘threat’ to Trump on social media, officials say
The Trump administration accused the former FBI director of insinuating a call to violence in his Instagram post, which he denied.

Criticizing the pope for "suicidal empathy."

Yeah, man, Christ definitely said there should be limits to our empathy. You fucking nailed it.

unstated by Dimon but this is as much about why they were so desperate to crush the booming Biden-era labor market. Desperate to end the "perk" of WFH but they couldn't while employees were hard to hire and could leave for better jobs. Now that the labor market is frozen up, the chains tighten
I enjoy the implication by Dimon that this wasn't happening before WFH which uhhhhhhhh was not my experience

People calling him the Woke Pope and he was like fuck yeah on the way to the grave
The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

Frost: You want to talk about courts but the highest court in the land told Donald Trump what to do. Facilitate him coming back to the country. And guess what they did? They flipped the bird to the supreme court. That is not the rule of law

two things that bear repeating:
- we're still not even past the first 100 days
- the tariffs have only just this week started to nibble, there are a lot of very big bites coming, and they're coming soon
Over on Xitter, James Lindsay and Curtis Yarvin are currently in a competition to be more anti-Trump.

Panic is legit setting in among the intellectual (for lack of a better word) fellow travelers.

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth is equally responsible and owns this. Your confirmation served as a stamp of approval and your judgment shouldn't be trusted. This goes for every failure of any official confirmed by the Senate.
