There's a lot of attention on the boat strikes, understandably so, but beyond that there is an undercurrent of "government in waiting" in the discourse around Machado that is unmistakable to anyone who remembers the names Ahmed Chalabi and Hamid Karzai

If you take the deal you're a sucker and Trump will dunk on your ass while he's arresting you. This is the only time you've had the upper hand. So do what you do best in this moment. Do nothing at all. Let them sort it out.

America 2025:

"I support the military occupation of my own state" is a wild wild thing to say.

We could hear him singing and she said his voice is so annoying- I'm going to look up where he was born and blame that town. Of course, he was born in and spent his early childhood in Evanston.

This summer I accidentally went to a bar near Wrigley on one of the nights Pearl Jam was playing with a friend who grew up in Evanston.

Jack Tramiel and Mikhail Kalashnikov being alive and active in their professions at the same time makes me want a buddy comedy where they use AKM's and Commodore 64's to save the day from a Texas Instruments project gone rogue.

I was very young, only 21 but at 53 I bike 7 miles to work. I‘m lucky -I’ve had a very healthy life.

Good luck! I had my aortic valve replaced 32 years ago. May your recovery be speedy!

Move over “Slouching Towards Bethlehem”, there’s a new three word phrase in the zeitgeist

i've pointed it out elsewhere but the best way to understand Moldbug is essentially as a right-wing Althusserian who is convinced that the ideological state apparatus is not upholding capitalism but rather liberal equality

remember when the streets didn't run red with blood cletus? where the only criminal you thought about was the hamburglar? i wish we could retvrn

i will say this again:

if there are not consequences for shooting people, they will continue shooting people

Do you know what the distinction is between photography and camera work is?

I don’t see any reason to believe that they won’t keep going bigger, harder, more violent until they finally cross some line. I guess that line wasn’t shooting & killing an immigrant in the street. Idk what it will be. I just know each week, they keep escalating.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Delightful thread

thanks to this outlet for not treating this as a three-line joke article. she'd just lost a baby the year before; she'd had a traumatic C-section; she almost didn't go. as long as the kid was okay, fuck 'em up, queen 🤜

Democrats, your messaging is pretty easy here.

"Republicans control Congress, but they can't agree on a budget. And we won't support their proposal that would hurt so many people.

Now Trump says he'll shut down the government, and cut benefits you depend on. We won't be part of it."

Envious of everyone in NYC.

Anyways, if Mister Rogers could learn how to breakdance we can all learn how to not be dicks to people we don’t like on the internet. Rant done.

The narrator has to look up the definition of the word fear. That is some utopian fantasy bullshit.

If you want more of those bus jobs, that means more buses, which means cheaper buses, which means imported buses. They’re still green jobs, often union, but in most places they aren’t local. Building buses is much less labor intensive than operating them. It just is.

It is. The city told them to take it down but after the shooting in Dallas they say they have to keep it up.
