y’all say it’s weird to be into silent movies and then go cry about a final fantasy vi cutscene

Meet me at the point where the flow of timespace turns to the opposite pole of the void 🥰

Zohran says you’re trans now

"barely scraping 50%" in a three way race, where, in all but party affiliation you weren't even the only member of your own party on the ballot? the year after we all had to pretend the current president winning by 1.5% was some kind of crushing mandate? Gimme a break.

Maybe don't start destroying the White House right before an election. Things the consultants don't tell you.

...have the Republicans won anything of significance tonight?

some fucking UK general election type shit

We are in a completely different country tonight.

I’m really enjoying the universal response to this being “you know what, maybe one person really did earn a billion dollars”

Can the James Baldwin Typebot Tell Us the Meaning of Life?

James Baldwin parceled out into AI-selected therapeutic memes, stylized via a typewriter interface: the “people-centered” AI future made possible through $500M in philanthropic funding. Without such technological advancement, we’d have no other means of accessing Baldwin quotations!

If fucking only!!

I'm going to bed, let me know when Jessica Telephone finally gets an at bat (iykyk)

remember when people said no one would be willing to apply

The Dem tea party moment is No Kings.

This is fundamentally indistinguishable from what the Chapo guys were saying about Fetterman before he won his senate seat. I'm reading this in Felix Biederman's voice!

Someone threw a brick through the overton window and now Jon from pod save america sounds like Virgil Texas ca. 2019

Since when do the pod save guys stick up for cryptofash Bernie bros?!

the panting over-enthusiasm for Platner is another example of how you should never be horny on Maine.

i think if i was a campaign manager, one of the first things i'd ask is "do you have anything racist permanently affixed to your body"

Graham Platner, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Maine, took the unusual step of disclosing that he has a tattoo that has been linked to Nazis. In an extended interview on Pod Save America that first aired Monday night, Platner said he and some fellow Marines got a skull tattoo while drunk on leave in Croatia in 2006, without knowing that it was associated with the Nazis. "We got very inebriated, and we did what Marines on liberty do, and we decided to go get a tattoo," Platner said. "We chose a terrifying looking skull and crossbones off the wall because we were Marines and, you know, skulls and crossbones are pretty standard military thing."

"I got blackout drunk in Croatia and saw a scary looking skull and bones and was like oorah that's soldier stuff I want that on me!"

Truly the judgment of a prospective member of the world's most august deliberative body.

I feel the need to clarify I was being extremely sarcastic, because I'm hearing rumblings this is his actual excuse?!

Wait I said this as a joke did he really say it was death in june

Say what you will about the wisdom of running an elderly woman for the Senate, but preventing some cryptofascist mercenary from getting the seat is already a massive service.

Nuclear take: I wonder how much of the depths of Platner's moral rot would have gone unexposed without Janet Mills entering the campaign and having a staff who knows how to do oppo research better than Platner and his camp know how to avoid it!

the other thing i’ll say here is i am a bit frustrated with the narrative of online radicalization that treats it as akin to brainwashing. it lets individuals, families and communities off the hook for the choices they make and the environments they foster

But this does make him make more sense: a former Marine who then went to work for Blackwater, who seems to have socialist economic views? That's just a strasserite!

Nah, you see, he's not a Nazi! He's just a big fan of Death in June! Good *grief*

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"
