Definitely the huckster who’s famous for saying through a shit-eating grin that it’s “wonderful” that people are desperate and poor has some very useful and non-partisan advice.

All I want to hear from Kamala is an apology for running a bullshit campaign and then going radio silent in the face of her fascist opponents victory. Fuck all these Democrats and their cynical book cash-ins. So so fed up with this.

Nate Silver & @NateSilver538-3h0... The thing about Peak Woke circa ~2019-2021 is that for every person who really believed in it, there were probably 3-4x as many who sort of nodded along because of peer pressure, didn't want to on the wrong side of history, etc. That latter group likely has some immunity. Noah Smith • @ @Noahpinion • 6h Makes me think that the Return of Woke is a dead cat bounce. The antibodies are in place now, the outbreak will be mild. For the next 2 or 3 decades it'll be an endemic seasonal thing, like Covid or th...

Noah Smith? & @Noahpinion Follow back Kind of hilarious that woke's big comeback moment was an all-out attack on a blue jeans ad. You'd think they'd have started with something more solid and defensible, since rightists are doing and saying actual racist stuff every day. But nope, they just pretended it was 2020.

it’s crazy how many pundits had their brains turned to jello by 2020

I genuinely do not care about any of this discourse. Nate and Noah need to touch grass.

the only thing I really care about is stopping fascism (and building housing)

Incredible mainstream Dem copium

Incredible film. The best in the “floral horror” genre.

I’ve worked in customer service for a lot of my life and hands down the rudest, most entitled, most likely to completely blow you off even if you speak to them, are boomers. Tell me again about the “Gen Z stare”? I manage a whole team with a lot of Gen Z folks and don’t experience it.

The “Gen Z stare” strikes me as little more than a new way for people to complain about service workers not being cheerful or deferential enough at their shit jobs. Pump the brakes on the moral panic. I greet dozens of people a day at work and boomers just ignore me like I don’t exist all the time.

"No amount of cheering will cause [Hogan's] desiccated, drug-addled corpse to 'Hulk up,' turn back time, and re-insert you into childhood. But the return to childhood is what the impulse to fascism is always about."

I love when this specific groceries discourse comes up every few months and people just go around outing themselves and privileged fucks who don’t know anything about how most people live or spend money.

Bad day to be a racist orange-tinted buffoon.

lol you’ve got an AI girlfriend?? ur putting techbros in charge of your relationship??? ok buddy lmfao ok champ

Depravity, even

The Mehdi Hasan vs. 20 far right conservatives (read: Nazis) was truly pointless, and probably bad. You cannot and should not debate Nazis and fascists especially when they won’t honestly name their ideology and feel free to fabricate as they go.

Cool to see that Goodreads spiced up their logo but as usual did nothing to improve their clunky ass website

Agreed. I am an absolute curmudgeon about the beach. I’ll do it and make the best of it, but know that I’m dying inside.

To be clear, I also do not think this is really possible.

Exactly. It’s a completely unachievable goal and I’m reaching for it, I fear he will peddle a bunch of myths like he ended up doing through Shelby Foote in the Civil War doc.

As John Lewis Gaddis points out, every moment in the past is infinitely divisible if you want to look closer and closer, so at some point in the process you must decide which levels of analysis are worth giving. You cannot recount everything that happened, it’s impossible, you must choose.

Burns may want a sort of unreachable objectivity in his historical work, but as we have seen, he can’t achieve it. Even if he tried the people he bring in to discuss the issue do not. Shelby Foote is example #1. He was allowed to propagate outright myths.

“Simply showing what happened” can only be a dry and heartless recounting of only the objective facts with no analysis, no interpretation, and no editorializing. In other words, it ain’t history.

I don’t get the cilantro soap taste, but when I’m working with 20lb cases of it the soap smell is often overwhelming.

Idk what the fuck Stephen King is thinking and I hope to God he’s not on the Epstein List (which I seriously doubt), but all the people claiming that scene in IT is cp or that it proves anything are fuckin idiots.

Critiquing how occupied peoples practice self-defense is purely a function of privilege

They’re trying to set a record for the most white guys in suits in one shot ever

Slipknots self-titled has never been topped by another nu metal record, right?

Trump Says ‘I Absolutely Love’ That Stephen Colbert Got ‘Fired’ and ‘I Hear Jimmy Kimmel Is Next’ Trump weighed in on CBS's announced cancelation of Stephen Colbert's late-night talk show and is seemingly hopeful Jimmy Kimmel will be next to get axed.

again, no mention at all that the incoming new owners of CBS are the Ellison family, billionaire friends of Trump, who are already shaping the trajectory of the new CBS via Skydance execs before the deal ink is dry

that's apparently just not relevant enough to mention

All the reason republicans hate it
