I want to read it but I’m already subscribed. Just FYI

This is important stuff. Every Centrist is simply an above-it-all, know-it-all jerk off reinforcing the status quo. Wrote them all off and move on.

Centrism Cannot Fail, It Can Only Be… Oh, wait, it’s totally failed.

Reactionary centrists generally act as if they are always the outsiders, always giving the Democratic party a path away from its failures. But in fact we do have examples of reactionary centrism in practice. And…it’s success rate is not impressive.

It’s a real blow!

I need to give it another listen. Tbh, I just never considered buying it
back in the day. I started buying Pete Townsend CD’s once the 80s hit and never went back.

Back when there were TV movies about suburban women losing their grip, they would style them like this in the scene where the family can no longer deny there is a problem.

I think it’s that AND being a dumbass. But Yes!

REDHEAD: Is this to be our end? The last two members of the Prince Valiant Hair Club for Men, fighting against hopeless odds! But I WILL! NOT! YIELD! You'll get my blunt cut Pageboy when you scalp it from my cold dead head!
GRAYHAIR: This is why everyone else quit, Rick. You're too intense.

I feel like maybe that’s a spit take? Perhaps not cruel?

Amen

ENDING A FILIBUSTER TO SAVE THE FILIBUSTER IS THE DUMBEST ASS SHIT I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!

Bravo 👏

If Democrats release files showing that Trump was complicit in Epstein's pedophilia, and Trump tries to distract from it by starting a war with Nigeria or Venezuela, then Democrats will have blood on their hands.

at no point while reading this did i have any idea what the next word would be

i think my favorite part about elon musk is through joining up side by side with the far right, he revealed himself to be a completely tasteless loser with absolutely absurd beliefs that doesn’t really care about anything real at all other than ruining peoples lives and power

I guess “Fascism Happens” is AN argument.

Hmm. Disappointing. The ACA was a win. The argument has always been it’s the best that could be done. I don’t happen to agree, and I’m not a Bernie Bro. The ACA did little to stem the tied of fascism in any case.

Now we’re splitting hairs I guess. You challenged my assessment of Obama’s record.

What makes you think I haven’t read the piece? Plus there’s nothing here that Paul Krugman didn’t cover at the time in defense of Obama. You may be too young to remember the whole first year of Dems getting played by Olympia Snow, Susan Collins, and that shit Joe Lieberman.

This rise of Fascism began with the Southern Strategy. Trump jumped out in front of the parade. Odd to give everyone a pass for decades of going along and getting rich in the process. There were many good articles on the weak sauce of the Obama years in Harper’s Magazine. Not easy to find them.

She continuously voted against banning trading for members of congress. Neoliberal policies are corrupt in and of themselves. I’m not saying she’s a scumbag, I’m saying she was happy to take corporate money and pretend being neoliberal was in the interest of her constituents.

Not seeing the decades of complicity in the rise of fascism. Her love of insider trading and doing Wall Street’s bidding. What role did she actually play in blowing Obama’s mandates (I know he worked hard on that, too)? Seems relevant these days.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

esquire article with headline “why does gen z love rumours so much?”

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

“Biden officials worried that attaching their names to a recommendation to limit American support for Tel Aviv would hinder their future career prospects, the former senior official said, ‘which is in itself appalling.’”

In this Ohio diner, Greene still means Mean Joe. But they do know this: if MTG visits the White House, some kid will give her coke.
