Framing airport employees solely as "TSA" while excluding baggage handlers, stevedores, mechanics & technicians, and *awkward cough* air traffic controllers is a credit-destroying act of dishonestly.

I think if Schumer gets tossed that’s fine, I don’t care, and I also think even if we install Bernie Sanders possessed by the ghost of LBJ we’re gonna be pretty disappointed in what the leader of 47 senators are able to accomplish, either concretely, or in terms of keeping everyone in line.

What life's like in Ukraine, from someone who is usually upbeat.

Because horny is unserious, you see.

what the formulation "israel has a right to exist" is meant to stand for is "the nation of israel has a right to define its electorate such that particular people are represented and others are not," which is something so plainly ridiculous that it cannot be stated outright.

The voices you get to do with that character type are a hoot

If you're going to only like art that has never been perceived by an icky person, you're going to do yourself out of a whole lot of art.

"Trump gives people permission to be their worst selves," is a true statement, but it isn't true solely about the right wing.

Something a great many users of this website have spent the last day and a half actively demonstrating.

I think we shouldn't discount the number of people who really do believe that the collapse of the United States is the objective, and are aware that they can't openly defend what that entails.

“We want the government to do stuff but fuck the people who do it” is not a coherent position in any way.

"i don't like the value judgment implied in 'that kid can't read so well'" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

my patience has increased but I will say, it is ok to have trouble reading, it is not ok to scream at people for things you imagined they said because you can't read what they actually said

I think part of the problem is that for all of the “even if it’s a fight you know you’ll lose I want to see you fight,” joining a fight implies in many (most?) minds the possibility of victory, and failure that was inevitable at the outset starts to look less noble than incompetent.

I mean this website thought people that needed to be dragged to the polls were the party’s base

Shout-out to Chad Mode Bard

He goes from dull annoyance, to dry amusement to, towering pride, to catastrophic wrath, and just nails it every step of the way.

Besides the Mirkwood guys, it also has an interesting Elrond design

“Hi. I am [Name] and my zip code is [ZIP]. I am a longtime supporter of [SENATOR] but am calling to express my disappointment at [SPECIFIC THING]. I would like the Senator to do [OTHER THING] instead. Thank you”

This isn’t rocket science

i am mad as shit about the democrats caving, have a very good memory, and if you quiz me on exactly what happened this week on election day 2026 i will get maybe 30% right

This seems almost impossible to miss the intent of, but if any platform or forum was capable of it, it'd be current twitter.

“Image macro” is a more accurate name than “meme.”

Married conservative: A woman's place is at home, not the office.

Divorced conservative: My ex-wife *chose* not to work.

I am a little concerned that Indivisible has gone from being the No Kings anti-Trump organization to the "it's not about left vs right" organization

I feel this too, and it bums me out. I have Some Thoughts on the deal and they’re not in line with the overwhelming consensus here, and I feel comfortable with them, but I don’t really feel like dealing with the shit it’d bring down if I shared them, and that’s a bummer.
