No, fuck you.

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top.

just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

sadly, the propaganda machine works.

i often think abt elf and the way the us govt squashed them and any similar sort of civilian resistance to the destruction of the ecosystems in "north america" and elsewhere. if you don't know the history, do some reading. it's well documented. and a good situation to learn from.

good time to consider the misinfo you've been fed abt movements like the earth liberation front. why they're positioned as both silly hippie bleeding hearts & also dangerous ecoterrorists.

anyway. comment! but don't expect it to save us. look for Indigenous-lead resistance. prepare for a fight.

I am still mad about Dairy Queen discontinuing my favorite Frosty, the Banana Cream Pie flavor.

The face is also way too flat.

Gecqua’s head is far wider than that.

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

Me after eating:

Like, how tf are you going to claim that CBS hasn't been "captured" when it has journalists running for the doors basically saying "hey, CBS has been captured!" bsky.app/profile/oliv...

I’m told they have good deli sandwiches.

I want to like Gecqua but the shape of its head kinda bothers me.

I got a laff, at least.

Like come on, @brianstelter.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/junl...

Hard to see this as anything other than Stelter sucking up to his future bosses over at Paramount

# = The Present Age Subscribe Sign in What do you think happens to the next story about immigration enforcement abuses? Or the next investigation into deportation policy? Or any story that might embarrass the White House at an inconvenient time? Some of those stories will still get pitched. Some will still get made. CBS will still do critical coverage of the administration sometimes, if only to maintain the pretense of independence. But the calculus has changed. The risk-reward math is different now. And at the margins, that means stories that should get told won't get told. Not because anyone explicitly killed them, but because they never got started in the first place.

Orbán analogies abound, but... Today's Washington Post quotes an anonymous CNN employee saying uncertainty is, well, paramount: "Is this a Viktor Orbán-style takeover of a network, or is it not? We simply do not know yet." Margaret Sullivan also cites the Orbán model in her new column titled "Trump just got much closer to bringing CNN to heel." So, for a refresher on "Orbánism" and how news outlets in Hungary were "captured" by Orbán's government, here's my story, from last September. Some longtime media critics are making the case that it's currently happening in the US: Victor Pickard tweeted yesterday that "the new Ellison-controlled media combine will check the boxes for all three types" of capture, "capitalistic, oligarchic, and authoritarian." However, CBS News has not been "captured." I suspect liberals who claim CBS has gone MAGA aren't really watching the network. Tomorrow, "60 Minutes" is scheduled to air what sounds like a hard-hitting Bill Whitaker piece about federal judges being "under siege." CBS says the investigation "found that judges who have ruled against the Trump administration have become top targets."

Here's what I wrote in December about what CBS is going to do to try to fool people into thinking they're still a legit news outlet vs. @brianstelter.bsky.social writing that CBS doing that is evidence it hasn't been "captured."

You can't really be falling for this? www.readtpa.com/p/the-kill-s...

Bull. Shit.

I just noticed that people are using the term "Pokemon wiwa" for Winds & Waves.

This strikes me as weird. I can't put my finger on why. Too close to "wiwi"?

Same! I voted for the less bad option in the general. I just think they could have won if they had listened to progressives.

I am so fucking tired of the US and Canada having no actual progressive, anti-war political parties.

So we were all thinking the same thing, right?

...Right??

I got into an argument with someone like two months ago where they refused to admit that Israel's destroying the farmland and wouldn't believe a major military figure in Israel saying bluntly "yes, we're destroying the farmland and preventing it from being used."

There were a lot of factors at work, and progressives were right about every single one of them.

This is going to sound conspiracy-brained, but I do think that Harris going all-in on a pro-status-quo, "the other guy is worse" sort of campaign in a year that EVERYONE KNEW was exhibiting a wave of anti-incumbent fervor, indicates that that may have Democrats intentionally thrown the election

Really amazing how pro-israel neolibs are going with "Bombing iran is bad, but Israel bombing Gaza is good" without an ounce of self awareness.

"morality in the fandom party is next door"

god the discourse really is eternal huh?

Say it with me: Neoconservatives are not our friends.

David Frum tweet, Mar 1, 2026: According to the self-proclaimed experts who get quoted at times like this, the corpus of international law can be reduced to one simple rule: "Terrorists and communists are always allowed to strike democracies, but democracies are never allowed to strike back."

Why do we act like David Frum has knowledge or expertise when he's barely at the level of your dumbest uncle posting his shower thoughts on FB?
