Mind you, Richard Tice would have lost when he threatened to sue the BBC for calling Reform Far Right. But still the BBC caved: it's strong with the weak and weak with the strong.

Seeing JCO absolutely light Musk up really makes me angry. The Path of Exile community should have bullied him WAY more when he was caught account sharing. Let ourselves down.

But also, I told you when used effectively shame works. The problem is Elon isn't shamed by normal things like the weight of being responsible for the deaths of 600,000 people, or being a white supremacist or whatever. Oates just landed on a pressure point.

Your colleagues promised us — promised activists, promised social media influencers, promised organizations — that they were actually going to fight for the ACA, that it was non-negotiable.
You lied to us. You betrayed us. And this is your plan? I know you're not this stupid Sheldon.

The Maccabi Tel Aviv event embodies what I call ‘Kayfabe politics’. Key to Kayfabe is not simply those performing in the ring pretending something false is real (here politicians) but how spectators (media +) also ‘keep Kayfabe’, playing along as fans-who-believe to sustain the spectacle they enjoy.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

We handed them a sweeping victory and they do this and if you say the parties are functionally the same in many ways you get yelled at by the dumbest people you know
Reminds me of when we gave obama a sweeping victory and his war criminal ass talks “bipartisanship”

At this point, waiting to vote these senators out of office is a moderate position. People should ruin their lives on a daily basis. They shouldn’t be able to step foot in public without people screaming in their faces.
