Oh ok then. Problem solved

How do so many democrats still not understand that the ACA *was* the compromise.

What a day to be teaching classes on Gramsci’s notion of political hegemony. Optimism of the will!! 👊🏻

Zohran Mamdani caught lying when ten years ago he told his friends the cool bar he knew was "just around the corner" and it turned out to be three and a half blocks away

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

🍎🍊 The “far right” is often treated as a single family—but it isn’t.

🪄 The radical right is increasingly entering mainstream politics, while the extreme right remains isolated.

This distinction matters for understanding today’s party systems.

This isn’t a focus in the Discourse because the loudest voices with the biggest platforms are people who have never worried about their next meal. I’ve needed SNAP; I’ve used SNAP; I’ve lost it when it mattered. This is going to be a wave of mass starvation beyond living memory in this country.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Mind your business, son.

This also indicates the essential dishonesty of saying “it’s just a tool.” A hammer is a tool. Nobody writes about the “inevitability” of hammers. Nobody has ever studied the harmful effects of hammers on learning and concluded that teachers must all hit their students with hammers “responsibly.”

They're gonna perp walk a 120-year-old Italian woman who had dinner with Antonio Gramsci

oh this ep is a classic

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

From a poster called “just shower thoughts“ reading: when people talk about traveling to the past, they worry about radically, changing the present by doing something small, barely anyone in the present to really thinks that they can radically change the future by doing something small.

I may have found my defining quote.

Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

No words. I believed in Ryan. We moved to Oklahoma because he promised that my awful sons Enigmus Rex and Pance would be given handguns in kindergarten and then not be given any instruction on how to use them safely. I bought a shitty gray house in Tulsa because he promised they wouldn't be woke.

«Part of the misunderstanding of the deepfake threat stems from the idea that it is a problem of bad information, rather than a problem of desire (or the material conditions that shape desire). The deepfakes proliferating across far-right social media … are fascistic dream machines.» #MemeFascism

Nick Fuentes’ Plan to Conquer America For years, influencer Nick Fuentes was too extreme even for MAGA. Now he's working his way into the mainstream—and has a plan for his secret followers to seize the levers of power.

Charlie Kirk's murder has been very good for Nick Fuentes -- which is very bad for literally everybody else.

Great reporting from @davidgilbert.bsky.social

Olivia Nuzzi whenever someone runs the garbage disposal: I should call him

love olivia's carolyn bessette cosplay photo. christ. lmao, even.

if these companies would just put out a statement saying “we told him to go fuck himself” they would instantly have the type of loyal and dedicated customer base corporations dream of and spend decades trying to cultivate

I’m more used to saying this to people on the Left than people on the Right, but, “hate speech” is not an exception to the First Amendment. “Hate speech” is protected by the First Amendment unless it falls into a traditional established exception.

reminder:

if you rsvp for a protest you’re not only a mark but also a liability

If you want to figure out something productive to do in the aftermath of this horrific week, donating to @criticalinternet.bsky.social is a good place to start. I just did.

Not for nothing, I do think there's an argument to be made that political acts that can be roughly described as non-ideological* is a good example of why AI will never really be able to do systemic analysis of political violence and the trends that lead to it.
