Dare I argue that not hearing "Choosin' Texas" is actually an amazing flex that someone has found a corner of culture that speaks to them, rather than having culture speak for them???

So, maybe “I’ve never heard of ‘Choosin’ Texas’” is not quite the flex that some think it is. Instead of claiming ignorance of the song on social media, why not try a swift Google search instead. It just might open your algorithm — and also your mind.

Oh, so this writer does know that monoculture is dead, but they think that's a bad thing lol No, it's a freaking great thing! It means culture is vibrant.

That lack of monoculture is part of the reason why some were reticent to declare “Choosin’ Texas” the song of the summer when it was clear there was no viable competition (in chart terms, at least). We’re all living different summers at parallel times, with social media feeding back to us only what we want to hear and see. If you care to live in a silo, rent is free.

LGBTQ Rights is barely even charting on "the most important issue to me" The idea that this is a wedge issue is an astroturfing campaign by fascist billionaires like Elon Musk and JK Rowling

Devin Chaloux @devinchaloux.com · 09/09/2026

The idea that trans issues drive people to the polls is laughable. Elon and the GOP obsessing over this have terminally online brain rot. And it's worse that Dems think they have to respond to this. They should start ignoring these talking points. Americans *do not care* about this culture war.

A Gallup data table displaying recent trends (March through August 2026) for the prompt: "What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?"
Key highlights from the most recent date (August 2026):
Economic Problems (Net): 38%
High cost of living/Inflation: 16%
Economy in general: 14%
Non-Economic Problems (Net): 70%
The government/Poor leadership: 25%
Immigration: 10%
War in the Middle East: 5%
A footnote indicates that asterisks represent values under 0.5% and percentages total more than 100% due to multiple mentions.

It's NOT the way.
Are you a user that has single replied to a post, or quote reposted with the text or a gif that only contains the trademark Redditor mandalorian phrase "This is the way"? Well, congratulations! You've contributed nothing to the conversation, and have earned your place on this moderation list.

So fucking tired of people who say "just move" about any problem. Exactly to where? There isn't a liberal bastion anywhere in this damned country and you're telling people to move from one of the few places that is about as close as you're gonna get?

Devin Chaloux @devinchaloux.com · 21/08/2026

And yet... When the nuclear block is deployed, these folks get mad? I think there are a lot of folks who really just think of Bluesky as a designed leftist enclave (which is why that caricature is effective) when it's actually not designed to be that at all.

Trump has absolutely torpedoed JD Vance's prospects (likely with the Iran War)! In February, the gap between Vance and Rubio was 46%. It's now ***10%*** It's being driven by the libertarians in NH rejecting Vance wholesale.

A horizontal bar chart titled "2028 Republican Presidential Primary Preferred Candidate" comparing polling data across three dates: October 2025, February 2026, and July 2026.

The chart tracks voter preference percentages for 15 candidates alongside "Another candidate" and "Don't know/Undecided" across the three timeframes:

Really unsurprising that a NYT reporter flattened fair criticism of the journalistic practices into a cartoonish reply and then get mad when folks like me called him out on it.
