The fact they treat prompt writing as a coveted skill is such a tragic self-own and they don’t even get it. Society is being pressed through cheesecloth by illiterati.

Once they found cultural rage bait was more animating to their constituents they never looked back. The war on Christmas stuff seems quaint now that they're doing an ethnic cleansing, but it was an early stop on the way to where we are now.
In retrospect the Bush-era War On Christmas stuff seems more ominous than it did at the time. It was just cable news guys crying about dumb/fake shit, then and now; I mean the campaign to turn Christmas, which most everyone likes and feels warmly about, into just another thing to get mad about.

people who have no problem exploiting others don't have empathy or purpose in their life outside of obtaining wealth and power. He's spending his holiday confirming he has power to get attention, he sees no criticism or data to refute what he is saying, because he never cared. He can't.

one lesser awful thing about the Epstein files is that genuine crimes against a huge number of children are being morphed into fuel for the influencer industrial complex who don't care about truth or accuracy and just want grist for the content mills

Donald Trump is a pedophile and every person who voted for him, ever, should be required to reckon with that.

People have got to realize that just talking about rowling gives her at the very least an ego rush.

We need to simply pretend she doesnt exist and wait for her to die. That would arguably help trans people more.

democrats are very capable of fighting to defend their core principals, like 'insider trading'
A discharge petition to advance a policy ending congressional stock trading was finally moving forward when Hakeem Jeffries sucked the air out of it. By proposing his own bill that no Republican would sign, Jeffries effectively made consensus impossible. From @ddayen.bsky.social:
Jeffries Undercuts Congressional Stock Trading Ban - The American Prospect
A bipartisan solution was gaining momentum, but the House Democratic leader just issued his own bill that will prevent consensus.

I find it odd that centrist beanbags like Yglesias think that the electorate's views and opinions are immutable and must be catered to, rather than shaped through leadership, while they themselves make a living attempting to shape views and opinions.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Lol one time I had a post go extremely viral over at the Nazi bar. Like picked up in the UK gossip rags. It was about hard boundaries with racist relatives and *this fucking guy* Friedersdorf slid into my DMs *just asking questions*. I told him to get fucked. Highly recommend if you get the chance.

David Brooks, who wrote in the NYT last month, "The Epstein Story? Count Me Out" is... in the latest Epstein photo dump published by @oversightdemocrats.house.gov.

He should absolutely be fired by NYT for this. Major conflict of interest that he didn't disclose.

You all literally gave up on the shutdown with the understanding they wouldn’t vote on health care you lied to every American to get nothing out of the shutdown and now you are playing optics to try and claim you didn’t give away healthcare for nothing.
You and the Democratic Party have sold us out.
Today, I stood with @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @housedemocrats.bsky.social to demand an immediate vote to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

What’s the hold up, Speaker Johnson?

The astroturf campaign happening on Bluesky by Newsom's team is fucking gross, hypocritical, vulgar, and generally horrible. I wish Gavin Newsom has such a horrible Xmas it kills him.
