midnight jon, Tired™

I don't think I've ever seen gears shift this fast before.

I'm in the middle of a cluster of creatives for some reason

SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG: I just love Latinas, Sonic

what it's like 75% of my feed is right now after the halftime show

the modal Social Media Rhetorical Maximalist is the equivalent of a very particular unnamed Thavnairian NPC

incidentally he just lied about my skeet in another crashout thread and then blocked someone who brought it up lmao

a literal despair hivemind looks at her phone and thinks this is a bit much

me when this person quote skeets calling everyone replying to them "locusts of math explainers" because they are asking what impetus a republican trifecta (that just signaled not 100 days ago that they were okay with starving children to get a CR passed) has to listen to maximalist demands

If you were serious about wanting better things you would've primaried enough D and then proved you could win enough elections to get the Senate out of its Brainrot Period

Trump has "done stuff" by having governing trifectas during years 1-2 of his terms willing to ignore their own prerogatives

If I squint I can maybe find 4 direct replies out of 34 that even look like they're gloating. Since they said they weren't being hyperbolic I don't know what to think

1 other person says he "can't wait" for the budget debate to ramp up and whether he can pin it on Adams. sure, count that

1 other person says they're confused about what even triggered the OP

1 other person rather blandly says he'll have to make compromises with Hochul

note that both that user and the person that directly replies to them are saying they are *concerned* about the "political compromises" period, which is presumably not something you would say if you didn't want Mamdani to fulfill his promises

probably referring to this, which is "cope belaying (sic) extreme frustration" in largely the same sense that a personal trainer telling a beginner not to intensely strength train 7 days a week because they'll probably injure themselves is "cope belaying (sic) extreme frustration"

the complaint will boil down to "Democrats are never loud enough about ostensibly-good things that they pass" (which I agree with) once anything that involves tax changes and/or the MTA starts happening

the guy in the replies going out of his way to make up liberals to be mad about certainly isn't doing anything to dispel that

they can't relentlessly post on social media about how morally superior they are if the liberals don't actually hate the guy trying to govern well and being loud about it

i guess, fundamentally, i am just anti-crank. if your position is that normal, everyday people getting out into the streets to protest in the tens of thousands are doing it wrong, you’re a crank, and i assume you believe a lot of other crank shit i don’t care about.

bring back the hats and leave everything else there

the biggest red flag of them all (because doesn't this site literally let you turn those off?)

Shout out to all the amazing Black game developers, media, and creatives across every part of making games. I’m rooting for y’all year-round.

Go follow Black folks making games. We’re often ignored, then imitated. Tag some Black devs below and follow the ones you don’t know yet.

christ, I get less blowback for working *in the actual DoD*

contemporary to 2026 is one thing. the Confederate army at any point in the Civil War would've lost to a minimum of 3 different European powers at *any point in the Civil War*

a bunch of them got hired by egypt a few years after they lost the first time and then proceeded to lose to ethiopia

"I take no solace in knowing this person exists"

[I read this post]

"My only solace in knowing this person exists is that I will permanently be above him on the kidney transplant waitlist"

the way they act entitled to be in everyone's mentions is cop behavior tbh

it seems to me that "voting in an even hypothetically-sympathetic majority will make achieving your 'change' policy goals about a million times easier" is a no-brainer but that presupposes that these people actually have policy goals

THE ICE BREAKER SCHEDULE IS OUT
oengus.io/marathon/ice...

Join us on Friday, Jan. 30th starting at 11:00am ET for a weekend full of the best speedruns we could find in support of Minnesota against ICE!

we should reward Democrats when they say the right thing, and this is the exact messaging I want to see. A+, no notes. More of this, please.

Democrats • @TheDemocrats • 52m You're a fucking liar with blood on your hands. Stephen Miller @ @StephenM.3h A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists. x.com/thedemocrats/s...

my gut tells me american politics are about to shift radically within the next few days, as this rubicon crossing event occurs with both sides heading toward snowstorm-induced isolation and online algorithms

(this is a scam PAC with no actual discernible ties to the party. everyone needs to be boycotting ActBlue until they start giving a shit about those)

Best of luck to the illness

"they can't sever DHS funding from this without the House voting to concur" is the slightly less Words You Will Basically Only Ever Personally Use in Model UN version
