“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Jd Vance posted an AI video of trump as a king. Complete with crowned and sword. They fucking love their kings..

Really think the biggest win today aside from just numbers is negatively polarizing the regime of 12-year-olds into fully adopting #YESKINGS as their official stance.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.

Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.

This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Women don’t like the vehicle

the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on

dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works

Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!”

Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”

And sometimes the causes pile up enough that they approach inevitability.

Nothing is inevitable, but almost everything is caused.

I don’t think the pattern will hold. He’s had a lot of influence for much more than the last 3 months, and they seem to have Trump fully captured now in a media environment that will not expose him to “President Miller” types of rhetoric.

You can do literally anything other than publishing golly-who-can-say headline and a tight-angle photo that only shows the Feds and omits the calm, not-on-fire city around them!

The media has failed us, not because they’re bad at their job, but because their job isn’t what we’d like to think it is.

“Comparative Calm or ‘Hellscape’? In Portland, Depends on the Narrator”

No, it fucking doesn’t! It literally does not! You can look and see which of those narratives more closely approaches the truth. You can collect facts and build a narrative of your own that reflects reality!

Meme of the History Channel guy who holds up his hands and says “aliens” but he’s saying “baseball”

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Realize it’s become a meme at this point, but:

I agree with both of these assertions. Fortunately, there’s a Gordian knot type of solution readily available.

What do we want?

A producer!

When do we want them?

Did we ever write that down? Where would we even write that down?

I don't know I just memorize them

That makes sense

What were we talking about?

I dunno

Probably not that important then

If only we had someone who knew

Time to repost a classic.

As a result of filtering everything that happens in American politics through the lens of “They represent authentic America, we are imposing liberals who need to plead with the Volk,” leadings Dems/libs constantly lend legitimacy to the Right’s claims and sabotage their own response.

Even the ppl I hate are still ppl and I want them to have full rights as such. I also want them to come to a bad end and face consequences for their actions. But I want them to have full rights as ppl the whole time. I want everyone to have that, period full stop.
