I hate taking that stuff, but sometimes it’s the best/only remedy. Feel better.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for usβ€”who else is there to cheer for?

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

I am currently watching my partner play the sims, and had to ask what you might have meant. I’m getting an earful.

They have not incentivized these young people to have kids and they know it.

They neglected us Xers, snatched the rug out from under the Millennials’ finances, traumatized Gen Z… now they want the birth rate to go up?!

Give folks single payer healthcare, UBI, housing & a year or two off. Or STFU!

The modern university was a bureaucratic creation, a true modernist project despite medieval trappings and early modern traditions, and as such always contained seeds of its own destruction.
As @lollardfish.bsky.social says, only labor solidarity (sometimes disguised as intellectualism) will save it

The most interesting thing about the DC police takeover is the Epstein files haven’t been released

i think the worst thing that happened to RSS was people believing that Google Reader WAS RSS

Google Reader died, RSS did not

Bar chart titled β€œMotivating Issues” showing how different Democratic policy priorities motivate voters to support Democrats in the 2026 elections. Top issues include affordable health insurance (62% very motivated), tax enforcement on wealthy cheats (62%), preventing tax hikes on working families (60%), and lowering prices by stopping price gouging (60%). Bars are color-coded by intensity: very, somewhat, not too, and not at all motivated.

Bar chart showing reasons Biden skippers cited for not voting in 2024. The top reason (16%) was that Kamala Harris lacked a strong plan to lower the cost of living, closely followed (15%) by concerns she didn’t address poverty and inequality. Other reasons include weak leadership, courting Republicans, and stances on Gaza, immigration, guns, and transgender rights. A note highlights that Republicans, Latinas, and middle-aged voters were most likely to cite these concerns.

Fascinating survey data on the missing Biden voters by Lake Research. The voters who sat out in '24 weren't looking for a centrist or turned off by trans rights. They want a genuine economic populist agenda: take on corporate greed, lower costs, and make the wealthy pay their fair share.

And if you want to understand why it’s important to have an independent news source that’s not owned by private interests… see CBS/Paramount

Met Ice-T at a Bodycount show in the 90s. He told me to watch out for the criminals out there. The ones with guns…and badges.

β€œIf the region was such a threat that Trump felt the need to deploy the military against its own citizens, why has the Vice President visited the area twice over the past several weeks, including taking his family to Disneyland this past weekend?”

If I could define my disdain for mainstream media in one way it would be this: no one gets smarter or more informed about policy/history/procedures from watching CNN. If you forced someone to watch CNN cover a bill for a month, 99% of viewers wouldn't be able to answer basic questions about the bill
