Methinks the author overstates the influence of pundits (like him of course) on us “normies’” views. i occasionally read the opinion pieces and am usually unimpressed or annoyed.

Do you think she’d be doing better if she did campaign on issues like transgender rights? Weird take.

Congrats!

Well, chances of getting to 67 will be impossible so it's probably pointless. There are other ways to hold Trump's feet to the fire.

Let's face it--neither you nor I were there.

But you just said it was written after his death.

There are differing opinions on all of these assertions you make. You're no more right than I am. But you do seem absolutely convinced of your correctness, which seems hubristic on your part if I'm being honest.

But I do agree with you that it was written after Jesus' death. Thank you for confirming that.

You're kidding right? They watered the message down so they wouldn't be a threat to the state, unlike the Jews, who were completely crushed in 70 AD.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
That's a message that was created after Jesus' death by the Paulines to make Christianity less threatening to the Roman state. Jesus was less charitable and far more radical and violent that how he's portrayed in the New Testament, which was "written" tens if not hundreds of years after his "death."

And Dems would be doing even better if they followed the lead of noted centrists like Joe Manchin and John Fetterman, amirite Matt?

I don’t think this will have the effect s/he thinks it will.

Silicon Valley tech elites are in the midst of a mass delusion.

I feel like all your high expectations of a Trump second term are being dashed against the rocks, Matt.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Yawn

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Yeah sure.

Like @mattyglesias.bsky.social perhaps?

So is banning data centers smart politically, Matt?
000
nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Greg Abbott, Matt’s idol, is smart enough to see how popularist banning data centers, which Matt adores.

I don’t know or care who she is. Again, amongst Dems that count, they’re supporting Al-Syed.

Israel isn’t a lot of Democrats number one issue.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Couldn’t agree more. But social media wasn’t designed for good faith.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
And so do Cenk Ungyar and David Sirota. A few years Cenk Ungyar was supporting some weird fringe “horseshoe” candidates and to this day denies the Armenian genocide. All of these chumps chase clout. And they all suck.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
So why use the term “turncoats?”
110
nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
But that’s one person. Clearly the most powerful Democrats with the most influence are backing him. You can either be a glass half full or half empty person.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
That said, this post of yours is clearly rage bait as you’ve inspired the folks who have a “oppressed by the DNC” kink to react, so mazel tov I guess.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
How can an astroturfed group be turncoats? Implicit in the term “astroturf” is the fact that they working for the other side by design.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
It’s interesting how obsessed you are with Twitter-based factional disputes. I suspect it’s because you think folks like Sirota and Ungyar are influential, as you think you are. Newsflash…

No one knows this more than the current iteration of the Republican Party 🙄

How very uncentrist of you.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Yeah, the two concepts aren’t synonymous. The poll results seem pretty sophisticated.
020
nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Is capitalism synonymous with free markets? I don’t think so. Ergo, responses seem reasonably consistent with the ideological populations who were polled.

At this point Meta is still breathing simply because of inertia.

He’s also quite unattractive. It had to be said.

Thank God I’m nowhere near that

I can’t understand why people listen or watch any of that stuff—cable news, podcasts, talk radio. It’s all poison.

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
What are the outlets who agreed to this?

Starnes is the picture of male vitality…

I live in Texas and do not understand the obsession with Buc-ee’s. The big problem with it is they only ever have one exit for cars, and given the size and capacity of the facilities, it can take quite a while to get the f$&k out of the damn place. NEVER going to another one again.

Well according to the NYT he discussed the commutation with Van Jones but not with the Dem county clerks who have to deal with this stuff IRL. Seems like a weird choice. Dude is in an echo chamber.

Hey Matt, Jared Polis is your kinda Democrat, isn’t he?

Of course, but when that bill comes due for Waymo...

nickthap.bsky.social @nickthap.bsky.social · 11/05/2026
As a former Jaguar owner, I can say with some certainity that Waymo will rue the day they agreed to use those cars for its fleet...

Matt, it's 2026. I'm surprised that you're surprised that people question the motives of people in your profession, especially when it comes to the subject of technology and its alleged benefits.

Any initiatives from Glueskamp-Perez should be looked at as sus.

looking forward to your piece on how dems are on the ropes after that barnburner Trump gave tonight

well she looks like a dude so maybe they should revisit their commitment to each other

Maybe, but I refuse to stop using the term “bromakase.”
