yeah but the alternative is a little old so imma performatively say i have to hold my nose and support the nazi guy because of how deeply i care

Like watching Musk try to invoke Iain M. Banks was like watching a turtle eat its own shit

This is only a minor point but this admin and allies (Musk) are, to a caricaturish degree, the dipsbits who do not understand the art, literature, and pop culture that they use to communicate

Where does Etienne land and relatedly who is the starting early down RB for the Chiefs week 1.

I didn’t think you were saucy; I disagreed w you on the merits but you were kind and thoughtful

*race AND gender

It's also ok to be annoyed that she's not shown a lot of interest in building a real org. It's a tricky dance to disentangle gender from those criticisms, I get it. Maybe I'm wrong, but there's a lot of people who are quite attuned to these things who agree w/ me.

I am 100% with you on HRC and, certainly, my instincts about how we apply gender-differentiated rules align. But nobody (to my knowledge) is demanding that she get out of the race but I think it's fine to be bummed that she's closing negative while seemingly behind.

Are people suggesting that he is pissing off the base? Maybe so, but I have missed that if so. (Meant genuinely!)

(in part because she has gone negative, in part because she has shown no interest in building an org that helps folks downballot, etc.)

I don't think Talerico is at any risk of pissing of the base, don't know why anyone would suggest that. *She* has decided to go extremely negative in the close, but that's on her. I mean, she is not popular w/ the folks close to this primary here.

the demos of early vote, without more context, seems to favor T - but like you say, i just don't know what to infer based on the totality of what we have. i guess we have to wait for tues.

Polling I’ve seen that likes her is RV with close dates before Colbert so ymmv on those.

All of the grassroots energy is T incl the precinct folks etc, and she has a ramshackle operation. This would be an upset and tbh prob pretty not great for the general as much as I hate to say it.

Most of all it makes me nervous that Crockett is going to win and she’s parachuting in late to claim some sort of credit. Most of the smart money was on T but I’m pretty nervous.

More broken cognitively or morally - an endless question

Some of the good ones here

Also I went straight for a haircut after seeing myself

I got to talk with @lawfaremedia.org and @rparloff.bsky.social about the subject of my article, Patronage Pardons (Duke LJ), which explains how Trump uses pardons to power a loyalty for protection racket.

NGL I feel like this is basically one long day at ACL music festival

uggghhh

Every proggy Jew will tell you we deplete our psychic reserves arguing w/ friends, aunts, uncles, parents, etc about how they need to see anti-semitism as a reason to stand with other vulnerable folks on the left - and then some of you pull this fucking horse shoe bullshit. A fucking Nazi tattoo!

Ana Kasparian & @AnaKasparian Hey, bitch, the goyim are waking the fuck up. Deal with it. 9:41 PM • Feb 25, 2026 - 361.1K Views

I'll be honest with you. I see stuff like Platner QTing a holocaust denier and Ana aggressively posting "goyim are waking up," and I try to spin it into something satirical and humorous, but I think of the lovely and vulnerable, completely innocent Jews of this country, and I'm filled with terror.

It is possible to be appalled at Israel without being antisemitic and a good test for that is “will I support the guy with the Nazi tattoo?”

i feel like mel gibson really ruins this meme tbh

today we read with glasses, tomorrow we prep for colonoscopies!

I love people that are like "having a milquetoast democrat in the primary forces me to vote for the guy with nazi ink" instead of "man I wish I didn't have to support a milquetoast D in the primary but the alternative is a fucking totenkopf tatoo"

Absolutely no fucking way, are you insane?
