They LITERALLY campaigned on making children go hungry as a political statement and they can't figure out why they lost.

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

every “hit piece“ makes me like him more

These cartoons are as convincing as your combover you absolutely ghoulish freakshow.

Ok in fairness to the media, "Man has extremely normal life experience, yet wants to become mayor of New York City, a job fit only for madmen and sex offenders" kinda is a story

I swear to god if Microsoft puts the OpenAI equity on their earnings as a positive event, or put their $250bn spend as RPO to boost the stock, I will become the joker fully, I will simply erupt the makeup from my face

The world's worst people are about to have an epic meltdown after Mamdani's win.

Their tears will be sugar for my chai.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Go to the meeting. Stay in it. When they ask for volunteers, say yes. Do the thing you said you were going to do. Go to the next meeting.

One reason I do not think Trump is going to create a 1,000 year reich is because he failed to cancel a middling funnyman and immediately pivoted to trying to outlaw not having a headache.

I think the answer to that is “yes”

a woman in an apron is talking to a man in a kitchen . Alt: Screencap of Arrested Development - Lindsay discovers ""cooking"" by putting ham in some hot water. "It's hot ham water," she says. "Just a smack of ham."

Vibe coding is like vibe cooking. You still have to know what you're doing, or what you make won't be fit for consumption.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

American politics has sides. There is no use pretending it doesn’t. But both sides are meant to be on the same side of a larger project — we are all, or most of us, anyway, trying to maintain the viability of the American experiment. We can live with losing an election because we believe in the promise of the next election; we can live with losing an argument because we believe that there will be another argument. Political violence imperils that.

ezra klein is a leading voice on modern politics who doesn't fucking remember the violent aftermath of the 2020 election that was stoked by charlie kirk himself

All while most modern (mass)shooters like this are the least coherent freaks available. that or just some flavor of right wing conspiracy freak

The people who cover politics cover the sport of politics as distinct from government. To them a very successful political influencer *is* more important than a state legislator. They’ve heard of him before.

(Because this is bluesky so it helps to be explicit — this is bad)

One of the major problems of our age is that Ezra Klein ascribes to Charlie Kirk a shared commitment to a free exchange of ideas which Charlie Kirk manifestly and expressly did not hold.

The president of the United States wrote a birthday card to a convicted pedophile about their shared love for young girls, in a deepening scandal that just forced the UK to fire their ambassador to the United States. And his party is blocking the release of more documents about it.

Two stories.

A bear in the wild, smiling and posing coyly

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

you’re telling me the trump administration was lenient toward someone accused of sex crimes against children? crazy

Seen plenty of photos of bumper stickers like ”No airbags, no seatbelts. We die like real men.”

we need to make it a right wing badge of honor to not wear seatbelts. “Real patriots don’t buckle up”

we aren't nice. our national conscience is rooted in a ceaseless parade of destruction. the best moments in our collective moral action still involved nightmarish violence against civilians. we just had two presidents who were able to sic the American people on deserving targets.

This is a cruel and violent country. you won't grab hold of power unless you wrench that cruelty and desire for kinetic action in the direction of someone who actually deserves it

Ideally, we'd be better people. There's a long road to that destination and it runs through ugly-ass terrain.

this guy is savage

Whining about crime is super effective for right wing politicians because there's never going to be zero crime, so it's a good way to constantly sell total bullshit to the two dumbest groups of people in the world: republican voters and the entire media

But who will they use to harass environmentalists now? Ice I guess?

It’s cool that a 19 year old charged with dismantling the federal government got beat up by children while doing something incredibly out of pocket/illegal is the triggering event for the roll out of martial law. Even our version of the Reichstag fire is low budget and ugly

A: "They're starting to resist more now."
B: "We're gonna end up shooting some of them."
A? (maybe C?): "Just remember you can smell that too with a $30,000 bonus."

my god dude fuck those guys
