Any Dems who don’t have this attitude should exit politics now:

Kirk for DK straight up, who says no

Ok also AOC and Elon Musk are not in a “tit-for-tat feud.” AOC is a duly elected member of Congress who operates under an oath to our constitution and Elon Musk is an unelected Nazi billionaire whose wealth makes him think he’s above the law and empowered to illegally torch our government.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project

What kendrick did to drake, I need bill burr to do to ben shapiro comedically and professionally

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

There’s something happening in this country.

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Alien Clay is?? If you haven’t read it yet I highly highly recommend Doors of Eden by the same author

Update: @schatz.bsky.social didn’t do this after all. He chickened out. Still has this reposted on his timeline though. 🐓

Hey @rokhanna.bsky.social , we know you rep Silicon Valley — but care to explain? 🤔

They’ve lost Jeff Tiedrich!

i love that in addition to everything else, elon musk is the dumbest asshole on the planet

Can we expect anything from party leadership other than tweets though? What are Schumer Jefferies et al actually doing?

Chappell only artist with balls, only real person.

Raptors fans boo the hell out of the Star-Spangled Banner (video via the Toronto Star)

if democrats promise to throw elon musk and everyone in DOGE in jail on day 1 in 2029 they will win a 50 state landslide

Jesus christ, do not make me run for office.

Obama/Biden didn't do nearly enough rolling back even the most unpopular excesses of the Bush/Trump admins when they had the chance. 2028 candidates need to be willing to threaten prosecutions/retribution. The GOP only understands blunt force, and dems need to be willing to punish them accordingly.

one of my strongest held beliefs is that we will not fix any of our most serious problems unless we are willing to hold a Nuremberg for social media executives, funders and engineers

78 year old Senator Richard Blumenthal's hand is literally vibrating during the Kash Patel hearing today.

Really tired of media pretending this isn't happening even after 2024.

If Joe Biden fired 100 FAA employees and a plane crash happened just a few hours later, Fox News would bring Lou Dobbs back from the dead with wall-to-wall coverage blaming it on Biden.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

“the vibes have shifted” is passive voice. “tech oligarchs made deliberate changes to social media algorithms which altered the way most people perceive reality in a successful attempt to engineer business-favorable outcomes” is more EW WOKE CRINGE but it’s also direct, accurate, and meaningful

just for clarity this one will be a death camp and it is incumbent upon all of us to do literally whatever we can to stop this and gunk up the gears of this death machine

Chuck Schumer retire bitch

Hey @chuckschumer.com maybe use this in messaging and not more useless platitudes. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social here’s some free advice run against this message
