It was & I followed it but it appears to have deactivated unfortunately.

tbh, I think a credible, high profile case of the American left successfully policing antisemitism would ultimately do Palestine more good politically than one dipshit oysterman.

Listen to the crashed F-35 911 call: 'We’ve got a pilot in our house'
YouTube video by NBC News Listen to the crashed F-35 911 call: 'We’ve got a pilot in our house'

just reminded of the 911 call after (well, before) the F-35 crash. the dispatcher stunlocked trying to fill out some kind of standardized form, the helpful homeowner, and the pilot who talks exactly like a fighter pilot and starts to realize his plane is still flying www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCk3...

Their adoration of him completely gives away the game. All they care about are a few aesthetic markers of masculinity and a few populist buzzwords. Grow a killer beard, learn to shoot, and say "oligarchy" a bunch and they think you're literally qualified to be a United States senator.

Yeah I've never had a bad time going there, really good chili rellenos, & the puerco en adobo is excellent. Also saw Ed Helms there once..

Missed this last night, but if you still need recs, Sol Azteca on Beacon st near Audubon Circle is great, & if you want to go a pinch more bougie, Condesa at the Arsenal Yards in Watertown is fantastic (their puerco pebil is excellent).

Lots to say about antirenter prejudice, how it serves to bundle & obscure deeper biases re race & class & age, and about the electoral assumptions required for a councilor of a majority renter city to take this stance, but the thing I keep coming back to is just: what an absolute dick thing to say

Kamala Harris saying that she would follow the existing law about this was considered to be "throwing trans people under the bus"

It's standard rounding rules Figs, you round up when above .5, & down when below .5. Since you're less than half of 100 that means you actually haven't been born.

I believe Senator Sanders has a responsibility to recant his endorsement and campaign for the old lady he dislikes. Some things are more important than my Le Working Class Populism.

I think as a general rule it would be good for the Democratic Party to nominate younger candidates on average but we may have rung that bell a little too hard if people look at β€œis Old” and β€œis maybe Nazi” and see the first as worse.

Honestly this stuff he's saying now makes me wonder if we didn't get the whole story from him on that incident.

I suppose *I* could unblock him & track down the post myself but then I'd have to unblock him...

01.03.2026 21:25 β€” πŸ‘ 17    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Having trouble tracking down the screenshot now but yes. He's whining that folks are blocking him & talking about how he used to be a Republican behind blocks.

01.03.2026 21:24 β€” πŸ‘ 20    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Oh no Janus you don't understand, he was actually never a Republican now! Voted for Obama & Clinton dontchaknow. Please ignore the part of his bio that says he's in the DSA as "penance" for having been a Republican.

On the one hand, a sitting governor who scraps with Trump but is a lady and kind of old. On the other hand, a dipshit with no accomplishments who keeps tripping dick-first into Nazi shit, but he’s got a beard

A real struggle

The Platner pattern of getting caught doing something Nazi-adjacent, huffily disavowing it and then doing another wink-wink nudge-nudge signal to the extreme right is pretty much the Trump 2016 playbook

Remember when that politician released that statement about a current event (more than a week ago)? Remember the words they chose? How important the order of their paragraphs were and the future that could've been if only it had been different?

I keep being told that reasonable people can disagree on whether or not Graham Platner is *really* a Nazi

01.03.2026 19:54 β€” πŸ‘ 83    πŸ” 20    πŸ’¬ 4    πŸ“Œ 1

The two options at this point are (1) that Platner is a straight up Nazi, (2) he is the dumbest motherfucker in the state of Maine, the second is arguably better in some abstract sense but both are disqualifying

If you're madder at Chuck Schumer for how he phrased his condemnation of Trump's illegal war than you are at Trump for starting an illegal war IDK why you're even bothering to pretend you're not supporting Trump.
