Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

Republicans are reportedly panicking after they accidentally spent money on ads supporting Susan Collins in Portland, Oregon instead of Portland, Maine. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Democrats have been running candidates using "faith-based" politics for decades now. It's just not the reactionary lunatic faith of the right that the press decided was the only religious belief that matters.

How about stopping the unhinged president creating problems that shouldn't exist? We need senators who can stand up to him, not find little workarounds. Hope you win, Mr. Jackson!

The press who were all in on "Hillary Clinton called all Republicans deplorables!" now granting allowances for unscripted speaking style.

A much-needed explainer from @citizencohn.bsky.social about those $500 checks (bribes) Trump is sending out as an alleged Obamacare "refund." Looks quite likely to be illegal. www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...

Donald Trump Is Buying Votes at $500 a Pop
He’s calling it an Obamacare “refund,” but it’s nothing of the sort.

Today is the 30th anniversary of the launch of Fox News, one of the worst things that has ever happened to to human beings. I will have a piece on this later.

I honestly don't understand why the press doesn't give admiring coverage to Troy Jackson like they did to the guy with the nazi tattoo. He's hitting the right notes against Susan Collins.

The reason there aren't any standing Conservatives vocally opposing Alberta separatism is that more than half of their base consists of treasonous scum. But this article misses the point. It's not about economics. It's about white Christian nationalism. #Canada

And yet every week I see pundits scratching their heads over why women don't want to get married and have kids anymore. It's a mystery.

I know a few Canadians in BC concerned about the number of Americans they see moving here. "There goes the neighborhood" vibes, but given Americans' apparent tolerance for violence and fascism, I don't blame them.

When I was young, if someone had predicted that masked goons would be snatching people out of their cars, holding them in camps, and disappearing them to other countries, I'm not sure I would have believed it. I definitely wouldn't have believed Americans would only sporadically protest this.

If there's anything girls in the USA don't need, it's an introduction to football. Any kid in public school is exposed to football ad nauseum. Taylor is just exhibiting the skill schools program girls to do: sit in stands and cheer on the boys.

Why? The administration barred reputable news organizations from the Pentagon and nothing happened. Trump has been kicking journalists in the teeth for the past several years with no pushback, no solidarity from the press.
