Look out, here comes the Spider-Cat.

i think how we got here is that the right's favorite move is working the ref and the radical centrist's favorite move is self flattery that they could never be worked

My favorite part of this is that Bill and Hillary Clinton have this kind of gas for NYT but they don't tweet it out lol

I can see all those positive headlines really bought them a lot of headway with the admin.

An award-winning university professor got fired for posting a screenshot of a Newsweek article that directly quoted Charlie Kirk without any additional commentary on his personal social media

All my characters are volcel lol

I was at a discount store today and I saw a book by Greg Gutfeld called "The King of Late Night" (2.99) and I was like "Oh cool he must have done a biography of Carson or Arsenio or Conan or something" and then read the back and realized it was about him and I had to hold back a massive laugh.

Powerpoint slide showing Republican Rep. Michelle Steel with a group of people, one of whom has a tattoo on his arm

There were also tips on removing tattoos with AI if your candidate takes a photo with someone who has an "unwanted tattoo."

Stone, 45, said he lost his government contracting job abruptly in July and had been hoping to find another position in the Washington, D.C. area. But so far, he has not been able to do so. "I pressed ahead with the campaign, expecting it to be a short-term issue," Stone said in an email to the Prince William Times. "But now that our family budget is tight due to no income, I have to do what's best for my family and take the job I'm offered."

The GOP nominee in a Virginia state House race this fall has dropped out. He says he lost his government contracting job and has no income, so he's had to take a job out of state & move away.

That's... literally what Dems are campaigning on to win VA. www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/gop-nom...

Which is why Schumer will pass it and his only asked concession will be 2-3 years of ACA subsidies, a thing Republicans are trying to change so they don't lose their 2026 elections without their fingerprints on it, and Schumer will be doing their jobs for them, without extracting concessions.

You can actually watch Theil talk about his ideology in depth on older podcasts, he believes the nation needs to be put through a massive economic upheaval on the level of the Great Depression but this time to have it swing the other way towards technocratic fascism. Him and Andreeson are explicit

This is the first time in my lifetime where a government shutdown is not only preferred by a large chunk government employees as many lose their jobs if this budget passes, but also the incentives are so great against it passing for Dems they're very little reason to not just hold Republicans to it.

Just a wild guess but based on how LLMs are trained, the vast majority of speaking online about Depreciation by volume is going to be about car ownership.

kind of unreal watching JD Vance host the charlie kirk show. there’s long been complete unity between the right and their media propaganda apparatus, of which kirk was a massive player in, but then ending the show by telling that audience to thought police fellow americans is psychotic

G because I'm a contrarian.

YouTube video by Edward Niedermeyer #TeslaTakedown: The Strategy

A lot has changed since I hurriedly recorded this back in February, most notably Elon's departure from the Trump administration, but the underlying material conditions that make this strategy possible are all basically unchanged.

Hate Elon? Go after his money. Here's how:

the reason you keep seeing the same names in major Trump administration failure before the courts -- the reason Emil Bove did everything -- is that they have entirely destroyed the DOJ. they don't have enough guys.

Kash Patel on a note the FBI ‘believes’ existed: “The written note we believe did exist.. evidence of its existence we now have learned existed before the shooting… even though it has been destroyed we have found forensic evidence of the note…”

Great news, everyone: We found evidence that evidence once existed.

Truly, this is the Car Dealership Presidency

CEOs and small business owners united as bosses against the class interests of investors and workers, very cool society we have going on.

How big a solar battery do I need to store *all* my home's electricity? I have a modest set of solar panels on an entirely ordinary house in suburban London. On average they generate about 3,800kWh per year. We also use about 3,800kWh of electricity each year. Obviously,...

It is a pretty shocking that near-complete energy independence through home solar+storage is inching towards viability. If you're an eccentric affluent person you could probably afford to pay $200k right now and live a normal middle class life off-grid

The American right fell in with a cult run by an effete NYC theater queen and now they're all unironically these guys.

I can't imagine it not being. People change pretty drastically based on medium even outside of dating arenas. For one thing I talk less and listen more while dating lol.

I'm launching my Patreon soon and honestly thinking of changing its name to this

Has there been a study on methods of meeting in the last 5ish years and rates of success?

I have zero experience in online dating but like I cannot imagine it being more successful for any individual long term than just meeting people because vibes online are not vibes offline.

I feel insane posting about it so much but it really feels like the country is committing suicide and I don't know what I can do BUT post some days (please don't tell me just to do local charity or get involved locally that stuff is great but it doesn't help all this)

Our system values land more than people irt representation, and in 2020 the dem voters made a faustian bargain realizing Joe Biden was 100% too old to run already, let alone 2024, hoping that the leaked 'one term president' rumors were real because they're collectively idiots.

notice how no one who actually likes charlie kirk quotes anything he’s ever said
