"The Left" gets smugly dismissed for being ignorant of political realities, public opinion, etc. but you tell me who's out of touch? Centrists constantly shy away from-or outright oppose-popular policies in order to side with concentrated wealth

This is just straightforwardly insulting to anyone who hears it
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

In this clip from a right wing radio show on Friday, Trump claims that on Christmas Eve the US “knocked out” a facility in Venezuela from which the supposed drug boats launch. Has this been reported anywhere else?
The station’s write up doesn’t mention it: wabcradio.com/2025/12/26/s...

Fascinating that WCYB declares the RNC/DNC pipe bomber “was not motivated by the certification of Biden” when the documents show he literally says believing the 2020 election was stolen is exactly why he did it. 🤔

Despite threats, billionaires don't leave the largest population centers, because it's where there is the most money to be had from the collective value generated by human beings, and despite what they insist, they don't generate wealth; they collect it.

You can notice this real quick if you play it enough - your first board or two after not playing for a bit will tend to give you exactly the cards you need, but each subsequent run the odds of you getting the cards needed get more and more remote.

People were asking if there’s Solitaire behind the dark patterns and… not really? It’s more dark patterns - the Solitaire framing gives them a bunch of unrevealed cards they can determine the value of as needed to either make you win (feels good) or lose (forcing you to spend money to keep going)

So glad to see this written about. It takes 4 - 6 (or more!) human labor hours of editing, mixing and mastering to make a 90 minute conversation flow nicely and artfully. Video-forward shows tend to excise this process entirely and the resultant conversations flow and sound like shit as a result.
