he's bored and angry and all he wants to do is stand in front of a crowd of people cheering for him that's why he did the midterm convention, that's why he's doing this, and he's well beyond giving a shit how it affects any other republican candidate I love that for all of them

We very badly need to marginalize these people and treat it the same as following Hanania or being a Tucker fan, and we equally as badly need to have a position on owners of the tech that spreads this shit (social media) bribing the pedophile president so they wouldn't be held accountable for it.

This is the thing about AI that I love so much. Think of all the morons you know (many on this site!) using and swearing by this tech that can change the output depending on who is controlling the AI. And those dumbasses still believe it should be used for anything regarding data!

Incidents still happen now and again, but it is *extremely* established that the government cannot force kids to make religious or patriotic displays they don't want to, and reliably results in humiliating legal defeats, with damages, when it does happen.

One, this hilariously outs who all got the talking points in advance and how blatantly they parrot those. Two, Schmitt really thought today he'd launch himself to the VP nomination and with that a decent shot at the presidency down the line. Instead this is the only thing he'll be remembered for.

it’s a combo of not having had to run competitive *general* election races and typically focusing on the *primary* electorate. these guys could say whatever shit they wanted before because the republican base doesn’t really care, but having to run against a dem who could win is unknown to them

If the trans panic stuff bombs in 2026 (as polls indicate it's going to) I wonder if they're seriously going to try making Furries the new culture war.

I tried Sweet Shop on my ipad, but why does it display comics in vertical scroll instead of letting me swipe right to go to the next page? Is there a setting I'm missing?

One thing that’s interesting about this is that it shows that despite insisting the wokes overinterpet everything, conservatives are actually aware of and agree with their critics about how coded racist appeals work, they just like them bsky.app/profile/newr...

it's a little frustrating the extent to which people cling to doom. ask yourself, how is trump actually going to steal the election? what would that involve? what actions could he take? what pushback would there be? 1

Measuring actual prices is a better way to tell what prices are than asking people to tell you what they think prices are.

It's very possible that there's a material economic story not being captured in price data, but the solution is not "throw out all the data and replace it with fake data to match the vibes".

You can kind of see the electorate coming into focus at around D+7-10, which is an *extraordinarily* good place to be at as a baseline, but should also make you very skeptical about the D+5,000 polls that keep getting released.

The White House just tweeted "Touchdown" and showed a bunch of clips of guys getting hit trying to catch the ball. Literally the opposite of a touchdown. The only people who write that sports are right-wing coded are people who don't understand the right wing and don't watch sports

Your options are corporate slop that means nothing or stuff made by actual human beings that has meaning but also might have parts that put you off or make you uncomfortable, you can't have it both ways

The issues people have with random encounters are *Transition animations that add up fast *High encounter rates/multiple fights in rapid successions *Encounters interrupting puzzles and making you lose your place I feel like these are all solvable problems without tossing the baby with the bath

There's no real point in arguing with his mouth noises, particularly not when preaching to the Bluesky choir, but this is *noteworthy* nonsense. If the revenue were real (it's not), then it would be revenue *of the United States government,* equally available to a Democratic Congress to spend.

It's legitimately incredible that Swan Boy has made Noel much more likeable and thus more able to serve as a protagonist in storylines with emotional stakes, without making him any less of a douchebag. His "redemption arc" starts with him murdering a dude to drink out of his skull!

My other, even hotter take, is that if Republicans go all in on trans panic, eat shit, decide it's a losing issue and move on to something else as the culture war du jour, then the Democrats will become a more pro-trans party.
