Crazy when it's us here on BS who are like "k maybe let's tone down the rhetoric"

This is why I'm pessimistic. Any kind of thinking I follow that starts with "well this is why we just gotta..." doesn't go anywhere in the face of this reality.

To be fair he's not just straw-manning based on vibes; he cited his sou- O WAIT

Tweed holds up SO well. I don't even look at "new" for these. Vintage market is loaded with great ones that have character.

Yeah. There's a problem with trying to discuss this, which is "that's not funny" has come to mean "I find that offensive". We're not saying that. We're saying they suck at being funny, morality aside.

I was like "the human is in odd shape for a fighter" then the word "influencer" appeared and I gave myself permission to love this video

Ok but I don't have to change my teaching practices because of advancements in artificial bull insemination. AI matters more, good or bad. It's a fair point to note that many public commentators lack firsthand knowledge of what they're criticizing.

@atrupar.com please let your family know this work means a lot to us. If and when this presidency ends, you deserve all the vacations.

Something just clicked for me: as soon as the bunker (ballroom) is complete, he's launching nukes. I generally avoid predictions but I'm making this one.

I want to live in a world in which this ruins Benny Johnson's career. That would not be a bizarre world. Very normal ask, I think.

In a previous era it would not be out of bounds to consider this disqualifying for all Republicans running

That was my block in the mid 2010s! Bought my bed from that furniture store. They delivered it and the sales guy was there and said "Steve, don't be a stranger, we're family now!" and I remember thinking "We are? Wait why are you even here on this delivery?" Anyway I never went back. Bed was fine.

Can someone tell him he's wrong? Like, I get it. Thought experiments are fun. But evil is not good.

Embarrassed that it took me this long to pay up. I've been relying on Aaron since 2020. Anyone who doesn't follow him literally cannot understand who Trump is. Posting to encourage anyone else who's been putting off becoming a paid subscriber.

I was so baffled, I couldn't even parse what was going on here. I thought I was missing something. But you're definitely right.

They wanted to add the jet. They got other weird stuff as well. That's AI for you.

It is. Kinda left field here, but it reminds me of getting sober. It must come first. The good things cannot happen unless the root problem is first dealt with.

i don’t know how to make it any plainer that the vast majority of dem voters believe holding people accountable IS part of “getting back to work”

It's refreshing/reorienting to mention these disagreements to Normies, like at work, and have them be like wtf are you talking about, and then I remember "o right that's just Bluesky"

I do enjoy walking around there like every ten years and pointing out what's new since the last time I was there

That would explain this "please regulate us" posture. They mean "before Lina returns to her office"

This is how every young male SNL host has dressed for the monologue for 5 years now. You won. You're wrong, but you won.

Again, DEI is something we think is good. I don't understand allowing it to mean "unqualified". You're conceding the point to them.

My first question was "why do you say sex cult" and I am fully satisfied with your answer. No follow ups.

In his defense, how can one say positive things about women without commenting on their appearance? I defy you to name one way. I'll wait.

We on the Left hate what Republicans say and do. Those on the Right hate imaginary things they make up. That's what makes our era so frustrating.

He doesn't know what these words mean. I do not mean that in some complex or nuanced way. He does not know. He is very very dumb.

Forgetting where you were on 9/11 is so universally understood as implausible that it's the basis of a Portlandia sketch

Thank you. Coworkers were bitching leaving work today and I was making outdoor patio reservations for my family. Love it. 😎

Yeah this is basically like "ok but devil's advocate: maybe Google hasn't heard about the name change yet"

Maybe they're "hot ones" types and they're about to have a type of fun that I just don't understand.

I think they're doing incredible work but, yes, they helped organizations that elicit donations disproportionately from elders (using scare tactics) and only pass 1/4 of the dough to Dem candidates. They intimidated the NYT into pulling the story. data4democracy.substack.com/p/with-fear-...

I think some of us folks entering their comments to register that we think what they did was shitty is a fair consequence.

If all they get are some negative comments on Bluesky I think they'll be ok

Hey you should use those scammy robotext elderly-gouging PACs you defend to raise funds. Nothing wrong with those, right?

Multiple Mark Twain books. Taught me that there were wise-asses like me, questioning things and humor-obsessed, long before I came into this modern world.

Watters ends this exchange with "Michigan's not goin for that" - he cannot imagine that a candidate is saying what he believes rather than what he thinks voters want to hear

I think you're right and I'm still amazed by reporting that assumes that he understands anything.
