Cloud's Strife

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

an updated debbie downer sketch but it's friends showing her funny videos and she has to respond like this to every single one like this:

If the communist position is "well, sucks to be you" yes I would agree, it odes; but also, I am free to do something about it, like voting for policy accommodations like the the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990.

Just as I'm not sure how I'm supposed to interpret glib replies to the political victories that gave disabled people such as myself agency, other than derision; how am I supposed to seriously consider a plan for mass communist politics with no viable leaders or plan for people such as myself?

It's really not ok for me, who has to remind midwits like yourself that the disabled are real people, with agency and a functioning political constituency.

I was born with a disability older than the ADA, so, unfortunately, you're going to have to develop a dog that will actually hunt.

If I had no viable political leaders, I would reconsider how my policy program is actually going to get implemented.

Tweets from John Bresnahan, @bresreports: An angry Bernie Sanders won’t drop his support for Graham Platner despite a Nazi tattoo on his chest 2/ Sanders said Platner “as a young man” went thru some really difficult experiences” in Iraq and Afghanistan. 3/ Sanders: “I personally think he is an excellent candidate and will support him, and I look forward to him becoming the next senator from Maine.” 4/ When pressed on Platner’s Nazi tattoo, Sanders lashed out at the “corrupt campaign finance system” adding “We don’t have enough candidates in this country that will take on the powers that be and fight for the working class.”

like 3 months ago:

Do not regret to inform, that we are going to break them.

excuse me, it's *aioli*

Yeah like I've said several times: I understand Stancil isn't everyone's cup of tea, but there are people on this site who have a level of hate toward him that is only appropriate to have toward people like Nick Fuentes

i think we need to make a social shift. instead of proving how cool you are by knifing someone on our team, what if you proved how cool you are by taking the fight to the enemy. crazy thought

nice get!

The Columnist I perceive myself as being someone who takes the agency of individual people very seriously, and think that It’s important to remind ourselves, continuously, that our choices actually do matt…

i've always wondered what the job of newspaper columnist is like, so, for this month's WORK IS FOUR LETTERS, i decided to go ask a newspaper columnist about it. @jamellebouie.net was kind enough to make time to talk to me about his work, and i'm really pleased to share it with you.

Who would win? A Soviet army that just declared war on it's main source of supplies? Or one shiny boi?

“the problem is stalin stopped at berlin and didn’t get demolished by the countries who actually wanted to fight fascism” - yes, i actually agree, we could’ve saved ourselves a lot of headache over 50 years

world class dipshit

For those who aren’t as painfully online, Rose is a former Euro leftist who went off the deep end and has cultivated a following of far-right misogynists in recent years — including hanging out with Curtis Yarvin — and now she’s shockingly enduring misogyny from those same people lol

I think the parasociality is an extremely powerful part of this too because a lot of podcasters explicitly model themselves as "dudes shooting the shit" that isn't all that different from what you and your friends did back in college on xbox live

Bouie's whole thing is like "things are bad, here's some historical perspective, don't lose hope, we can still win" so it's always startling to me when he's main charactered

Taking politics to a bold new direction; calling progressive liberals effeminate and weak.

'This guy is different, he has metal rivets vital at the stress points!' discourse is one of the many, many ways in which politics is just another stalking horse for gender aesthetics.

Guys, just buy yourselves some gender-affirming Carhartt Duck Bib Overalls. I promise you, the tough-guy yearning will wane as soon as you put them on.

There's very little education, in the second kick in the head

If you're reducing the way you think about any political actor or political choice to a "like"/"dislike" binary you're doing it wrong, basically. It's reductive to the point that you end up with no meaningful beliefs at all.

For what it’s worth, I don’t have any tattoos.

I quit drinking so gg ez, to be honest. (I can pound Bud zeros/Athletic Lights no problem.)

One of the great tragedies of this here website is that it just leads to consternation if you try and hold two complimentary but slightly competing positions at the same time.

Things can be both "bad" and "not actually the end of the world" at the same time.

Re-upping this one, which is straightforwardly correct.

My favorite reply in here is the person saying they don’t hate Hillary Clinton because of right wing media, they hate her because of the scandals
