Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
Wait, no. “One Week” by BNL.
Oh this is a good one.
I’d prioritize distractingly weird for the moment over thematic, so maybe Spice Girls “Wannabe.”
I see we’re fighting about ultra-processed foods. My main thought is that if you’re a trust-the-scientific-literature sort of liberal (I am!) and you’re accusing the concept of just being hand-waving nonsense then you’re misinformed or a hypocrite.
Absolute 🔥🔥🔥 of a thread.
Kind of nice that the Chiefs got Kenneth Walker because it makes it even easier to despise them.
If you make the claim “Democrats are/are not doing X” and what you mean is “I’m told Newsom specifically and exclusively did/didn’t do X” then you are engaging in an act of intentional dishonesty aimed at harming the party that is the best in the world on this specific issue, it’s reprehensible
“Late stage capitalism“ is one of those phrases that automatically makes me take someone less seriously, it’s “we live in a society“ for people who voted for Bernie Sanders
MSU is not little brother.
It’s the drunk racist uncle. Enters your presence a few times a year to make things worse. You have to interact because of incredibly poor decisions made before you were born.
Motivation to lift is at a low this time of year. I wanna spend my free time outside.
I disagree with the prediction but I don’t think this is good behavior and we should discourage it.
I suspect it has something to do with pervasive context collapse. People can’t distinguish between the existential threat of fascism and standard corporate greed. Appropriate responses differ.
I do actually want to balance the budget. Raise taxes on the rich, yeah, but you also have to cut military spending and Social Security and Medicare to do that.
If you don’t want to do all those things, fine. But then don’t talk to me about deficits.
A wildly underrated source of political problems is that important swaths of the American public have no idea how the federal government spends money.
If you think 20% goes to a line item “waste” then a lot of bad ideas can seem reasonable.
We need to deal with the influence of billionaires in a ground reality way but I will never lose sight of how their power is mediated through the morons who vote the way they wanted.
Sure, capital has no value without labor. But Musk’s contributions only matter because some racist Ohioan agrees.
A lot of comments suggest this is intrinsically terrible but it’s really only terrible because of who is being victimized.
I want every Trumpist and collaborator to die of cancer but if we can’t get, eating their guns is great.
This is an actual Pentagon press release. “An Army believed to be casualty…the believed to be death”
So glad I lose an hour of sleep so that I can also spend the next month back in the world of late dawns and waking up to real darkness.
Weight feels heavy this morning (lifting). Just one of those days.
Damn close. 💪 Great effort and well-controlled failure.
if Democrats vote for war they are the same as Republicans. if Democrats vote against war, they're just doing it because they support wars and know they will lose, and are the same as Republicans. I am a very serious person
Lou Holtz was fired as head coach at Arkansas because he kept taping campaign ads for Jesse Helms.
He was too racist for Arkansas. In 1983.
💯
Strong religion weirds me out too. I’m an east-coast secular Jewish liberal member of the PMC.
Oh well. Take elections in the country you have with the parties you have at any moment and work for long-term structural change.
I didn’t follow TX closely but the bits I picked up make think I’d have voted for Crockett.
Still, if you’re considering sitting out a general where there’s a D and an R and the D isn’t like a fake who changed parties in the last few months just to sabotage shit then you’re an idiot.
