Sure. I said in numbers. Not every single one.

“You were right, but in the wrong way.” That’s what RW war supporters like McArdle started telling the hippies (not really) who opposed the Iraq invasion, after it all started going to shit after 2006.

Here’s my formula for number of senators: States over 20M: 5 States btwn 10 & 20M: 4 States btwn 5 & 10M: 3 States btwn 1 & 5M: 2 States under 1M: 1

There are small but encouraging signs popping up in reports from across the heartland that even former MAGA faithful aren’t buying his shit anymore. The GOP is toxic now. Maybe they won’t vote Dem but if they stay home in numbers it’s still a win.

Ben Wermund. Another journalist with a Bluesky account who chooses to post instead on a hate speech disinformation site owned by a white supremacist billionaire.

Marie Antoinette has entered the thread.

Frugal me has, because I use it so rarely.

Like I be said, low-engagement. Not people worth chasing because they’re unreliable voters. Dems will win without them.

It’s always about you, isn’t it?

A lot of these billionaires are simply investors benefiting from a rigged game and not innovators at all.

The political situation in the US is very much Canada’s business. Trump’s people are threatening us and supporting the separatists in two provinces. Thank you for participating.

Anyone who’s tried to explain an issue to a tech support chatbot and finally asked for a live agent who immediately understood and offered a solution in a couple of minutes wonders wtf this person is talking about.

Almost as much oil, maybe, if you squint, but at a much higher cost.

There really is no vindication for helping mainstream a hate-speech disinformation site. You and your considerable influence should be leading an exodus away from Twitter once and for all.

Circumspectral @catpushmike.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Wish people would stifle that instinct and not be on Twitter at all until it became just another fringy fash site like 4-Chan or Stormfront that decent, intelligent people would never consider visiting.

I’m sure there are millions of decent working class people who actually would have better ideas about organizing society than most of the ivy-educated toffs who act as spokespeople for the establishment.

Except they’re finally noticing their own asses are getting up-shoved too.

Efficiency should never be the primary goal of good governance. Services should first be designed in a way that’s best for *all* of society. THEN find the most efficient ways to deliver those goals, accepting a certain amount of waste and overlap as inevitable, but a small price to pay.

Guy gets rich off a planet-destroying Ponzi scheme and declares himself god. Time to criminalize crypto.

The people whose very job is to be extra skeptical turn out to be the most gullible.

We need modern day luddites to blow up the data centers.

Circumspectral @catpushmike.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Why is the right never asked to break bread with the left? Why is their incivility never the issue in mainstream discourse? Why is their constant demonization of liberal tolerance and decency always given a pass in these articles? Why do centrists keep pushing the polarization lie?

No Elmore James in their data base. I’m out.

Why it’s imperative the D’s don’t fritter away the gains they achieve in November by defaulting to bipartisanship and refusing to hold the regime criminals accountable. A post-26 backlash is entirely possible if moderate Dems continue their feckless ways.

Hey Yggy. You’re muscling in on David Brooks turf.

After the midterms… “A hundred bucks?? I never promised fifty bucks! And now you want what? 25 bucks? Ok, ten bucks it is. In two weeks.”

Maybe he should ask his bosses what to do next. He obviously doesn’t have a clue.

Easy mistake to make, Sgt. Scold.

Please tell us you’re being sarcastic here?

What are these most optimistic visions, anyway? All I see is a planet-destroying, anti-working class, mass surveillance machine.

Yeah this. Who the eff was ever asking for mass layoffs?

It’s always the left who are implored to bury their values. It’s always the left who are asked to show civility and restraint. Centrists may have constructed a house of mirrors, but decent people aren’t buying it.

Hmm. Maybe someone should tell the Secretary of War about his party’s color-blind meritocracy.

Pretzel fucking logic. Who but the most bad faith beltway cocktail party centrist would ever frame it as approval?

I knew back in Oct. of ‘24, when DOGE was first floated, that it was never going to be about efficiency. Did anyone at Wapo even *read* Project 2025?
