I'm and introvert and all I want in the world is to be warm. Give me spring and summer all day long.

Keeping the worst one alive is a part of the curse.

I travel a lot and I've never been inside one of these. How are they different from just finding a seat at your gate?

โ€˜They roll right overโ€™: Many Democrats call their party weak and ineffective, AP-NORC poll finds A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that many Democrats see their political party as โ€œweakโ€ or โ€œineffective.โ€

This shouldnโ€™t be surprising. The only way to fight back is toโ€ฆ actually fight back.

If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism.

We already know how this ends though.

I want to see Julius personally square off against 20 Gauls.

"We don't need socialism. We need public-private partnerships."

After Zohran Mamdani's historic primary victory in New York, establishment Democrats are already copying his signature videos. Zeteo produced our own (fake) centrist Democrat featuring Zeteo senior producer @heycappello.bsky.social.

You're a living embodiment for trying to create positive change from within a corrupt system.

That's lawful good 101.

Also, purity tests are not what got us here.

The Republicans endlessly and shamelessly serve their base. When we ask the Democrats to use the tactics that Republicans win with we're accused of demanding purity tests.

Insane double standard. Fuck Liberals.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

In light of Mamdani's performance, is astonishing there aren't more insurgent primary campaigns. Democratic establishment is discredited. Power is just sitting there like a mountain of gold but instead of being guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, it's fossils like Chuck Schumer

Thank you for this perspective. It's so hard to know what other people are seeing these days.

It's easy to be a doomer when you see people interacting with AI generated posts of LA burning.

To be clear, it doesnโ€™t make you a visionary or genius to want to discard the incredibly complex and special planet we have, in favour of a staggeringly less habitable planet that only the mega-rich could hope to get to. It takes a superhuman level of lazy, toddler-like selfishness and squandering.

I had grandparents that embodied this lifestyle. My grandmother was the most kind, intelligent, empathetic person in our family.

My grandfather was a giant man baby who didn't understand how to do anything on his own.

I wish more men understood how unfulfilling living like this really is.

Nothing you can say about Connolly is meaner than his decades-long "friends" on capitol hill refusing to stage an intervention when he decided to run for oversight while terminally ill

Yeah unfortunately I'm pretty convinced these problems will take generational healing to get over.

The real problem is how do we start that healing process while the disease is still raging?
