On campus right now- it's weird.

PANEL 1: A mom, dad, and daughter are driving in a car. MOM: "Rita says the school is closed indefinitely and another chunk of the moon just wiped out the Dakotas... Thousands more will start hitting us soon, like Space Hail." PANEL 2: DAUGHTER: "Since the world's ending anyway--maybe I could watch an R-rated movie tonight?" PANEL 3: DAD: "Nice try, but we need you to die with 'chaste eyes and imaginings." PANEL 4: MOM (to daughter): "He just wants to make sure you'll go to Heaven to establish a beachhead for our family--we'll need you to petition God for our release from Hell." PANEL 5: DAD: "Kiddo, your mother and I have soiled minds that have conjured all manner of erotic fantasias. We are bound only for the pit."

anytime you make a post about how people should stop using Spotify because it fucking sucks, someone pops in from from the Discover feed about how there's no alternative and ignores that you can just buy music or use another streaming service that isn't doing this shit. Anyway, stop using Spotify

They fool us every fucking year. On the other hand, the AL east is pretty abysmal, so they might actually make the playoffs.

I believe that the word that you're looking for is "shills"

BREAKING: A new Gaza solidarity encampment is being built at Yale, one year after dozens were arrested here. They demand immediate divestment from Israeli weapons manufacturing.

Despite the Trump admin abducting activists like Mahmoud Khalil nationwide, hundreds of are here anyway.

literally every conservative whining about people not wanting to hear "conservative voices", in a nutshell

Came for the gaming, staying for the secondary political discourse.

Rest assured, none of this will matter once they find a way to monetize, and the only discourse that will matter will be about the goods and services that you should be purchasing.

Democrats have spent years carefully abandoning political positions it fears might cost them votes, each time getting closer to the ultimate goal: a political party that has zero positions and therefore cannot lose votes.

A lot of perpetually wrong shitforbrains are still pretending that kamala ran on some big trans rights campaign which clearly did not happen because what they actually want is for trans people to shut up & go away. They can't just come out & say that so they're forced to create this bullshit framing

Very bad that many people with some of the worst political takes have decided to migrate to this platform and subsequently follow me.

Collage of posts by American liberals after the 2024 election. Highlights include: "I'm done feeling empathy for these people"; "Well I guess the reasons their home countries are so crappy is that they're actually not that smart?"; "I guess I am for deportation now." Superimposed on the collage is text in the style of Dark Souls, reading "LIBERAL SCRATCHED", in reference to the saying 'scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds'.

Also, the best thing you can do is not take the bait when the shitheads come to troll you. Or just fucking log off.

The funny thing about my recent influx of followers is how they will inevitably unfollow en masse once they realize how depraved my posting truly is.

Twitter post from Ruthe Phoenix: Took the batteries out of the carbon monoxide alarm because the loud beeping was giving me a headache and making me feel sick and dizzy.

A classic post now lost to the sands of time.

the court overturned Roe because Trump delivered the court to the ideologues who helped him win, and he will dole out the executive branch to those same people this time. he is purely selfish and transactional, and that’s what allows people to see what they want to see in him

Last baseball related photo on my phone quote:

Why were Democrats unable to counter the idea that Trump was an economic savant? And why did most Americans vote for someone they believe will harm the country but help their own pocketbooks? The answer is the ongoing decimation of working-class institutions and civil society, started by neoliberalism, accelerated by the rise of the internet as a medium of interaction and put into overdrive during the isolation of Covid. The vehicles for building solidarity with others and for caring about strangers have been decimated. In crass terms, people have become more selfish. Union membership, for example, still makes voters significantly more Democratic than would otherwise be expected based on demographics alone. Even this year, Harris won union members easily while losing the popular vote overall. Unions and civil society organizations also provide a baseline of political education: members know their interests and which policies will help or harm them. Without this, Americans’ views are shaped by the algorithm. Perhaps most emblematic of this is at the heart of Trump’s campaign: his embrace of extremely online tech billionaires, crypto currency and online influencers. If the archetype of Trump’s win in 2016 was the left-behind post-industrial Rust belt manufacturing worker – or, perhaps more accurately, the car dealership or McDonald’s franchise owner in a left-behind post-industrial Rust belt town – this year it is the crypto scammer, the dropshipper, the app-based day trader, the online engagement farmer.

That embrace was Trump’s message, and at the core of his gains, especially with young men. Without civil society and without strong unions, people believe the only path to success is getting one over on someone else. And who is better at that than Trump? While the core of the resurgent-left generation of Sanders was downwardly mobile college-educated professionals, selling their labor for wages without the prospect of buying a house or retiring on a pension, the second wave of newly aging-in Trump voters entered adulthood without even those prospects, hoping only to grind out a living through scams. But this is fundamentally an anti-social and anti-humanist mode of economic activity that contributes nothing to society and offers nothing but alienation to its victims. The result is people willing to vote for someone they know will cause immense harm to others, hoping it will help them personally. While the new right has made great hay of returning to a communitarian model of politics, economically populist, socially conservative, and focused on family and society, the truth is that the Trumpist movement is the opposite. It is hostile to the very concept of society and community. To combat this, we need an unabashedly pro-society left.

This is, I think, the single best explanation of what's happening that I've read, to the degree that it not only explicates Trump's win but the society that made it happen www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

if it’s what it seems to be, it should go without saying that the Democratic Party needs a complete restructuring if it ever intends to hold real power again
