While women’s and gender studies programs are being closed down all over the country, the work feminist scholars have done has never been more important.

I just can’t get over this man. Schmitt and his dipshit staffers thought they fucking had Jack Smith, all because they got “Hawkeyes,” and “Hawks” mixed up. All because they lack actual ball knowledge. Like this is a Veep bit. Unreal.

Nightmare series for Spencer Anderson. Hold negates the biggest play of the second half, gives up a strip sack on the very next play. This is the same team. Only thing that’s changed is the head coach’s last name

Once again, this was how the Economist characterized the American economy on Election Day in 2024. We had a country on the brink of stunning success, but the Republicans knee-capped it with trade wars and real wars of their own choosing.

That's an incredibly mealy mouthed headline that manages to downplay a Republican candidate's extreme racism *and* insert a "both sides" frame that diffuses blame even more.

this sounds awful but that’s because she’s actually mocking Trump and Mr. Smoothgroin deceptively clipped it to own the libs
TAPPER: So, it sounds as though he's saying Democrats would allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. He's also saying, of course, the war is going to end after the midterms. What's your
response?
PELOSI: Well, first of all, let's just say it's not about always responding to Donald Trump. I know that must attract advertisers, but it doesn't win the election. We have to talk about what we're going to do for the American people. Hakeem Jeffries is going to be the speaker. He is preparing how we win, how we protect the election and what we're going to do when we win.
Our country is at war. We always root for our country under any circumstance. So, let's get this done, Mr. President. You said it would take a few weeks. Clearly, you did not know what you were talking about. And you're sounding like Richard Nixon when you say you're going to end this right after the election. But okay for that.
The fact is so sad about this war because it was could've been so totally avoided. President Obama was masterful, virtuoso diplomatic accomplishment when he did the Iran nuclear agreement. And they had stopped -- we accomplished all of our goals. Except this one comes in, tears that up and now says he's going to stop the development of nuclear weapon in Iran, which he hasn't.
So, it's really sad, but our troops are in harm's way, and this is not a small potatoes thing as that person you had on the screen might refer to it. Small potatoes is not how we describe our men and women in uniform risking their lives.
So, this Iran war is taking a toll on the nation because people don't like us going to war in the first place. Second of all, it's increasing the cost of price at the pump, gasoline for farmers, increasing the price of food and groceries. So, this has an impact right at the kitchen table of the American people, in addition to not protecting the security of our country.

a lot of people genuinely place more value on politicians saying the right things rather than doing the right things which is dumb normally but especially dumb two months out from an election when politicians will say shit they don't believe on national TV to try to win undecided voters (morons)

the speed at which everyone forgets is utterly shocking to me - it's basically just a single election cycle no matter how bad the damage is george w bush ran the country into a ditch, covered it in petrol and set it on fire and two years later republicans gained 63 seats in the midterms

Slowly working through it, about halfway through season two now. It’s not as good as season one, but the general joy/ appeal is still there. Loving meeting more of the 110th and seeing that camaraderie in action.

The US media cannot comprehend a southern belle country singer who was unapologetically "woke" because that goes against all the narratives they've been reinforcing. So Dolly has to become "neutral" despite her vocally, repeatedly taking the progressive side in the so-called "culture wars"

I did this back on Xitter back in COVID days and saved screenshots when I left. It's got worse since.
I keep thinking about what would've happened if I'd pitchec a 2020 novel to an editor in 1998.

There's a global pandemic. Starts in China, spreads fast.

"You can't stop it, right?" editor says.

"Nope. You can't stop slow it. Masks like 1918, etc."

"Flu pandemic reference is nice," the editor says. "Wevdo this while we work on vaccine or cure?"

"Mostly we don't. A party makes it all political. If you do it, you're on the wrong side. So the virus spreads."

"Don't they come to their senses whrn it gets out of hand?"

"Not well. 2020 is an election year. And Internet talk is a big deal then. Everybody has a cell phone like a little computer...""Don't they spread information fast?" the editor says.

"Information. Misinformation. Disinformation, too."

Editor frowns. "This is pretty dark."

Me: "Oh. I forgot to tell you--while all this is going on, Donald Trump is President of the United States."

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY OFFICE!!!!"
