If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

As I look at the news, I've been thinking about this quote a lot. The only thing I can't figure out is what's the actual end goal. Is there is one? Where does the ladder lead?

Listen I know what the song is about, but taking it at face value, the narrative as told by the kid in "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" sounds like the setup for a Stephen King story

A just society will remain out of reach so long as the majority of us continue to treat politics as a sport rather than respecting it as life or death policy making.

This is a really important corrective to a lot of reporting today. Trump did not—and cannot—federalize MPD. The police force remains under the ultimate control of the mayor.

Right now everyone should be listening to season 3 of the REVOLUTIONS podcast by @mikeduncan.bsky.social to see exactly how things went down in France. If you listen to more than one season though, the patterns with what we're currently experiencing become much clearer

The fact that, even the next day after voters in New York's Jewish enclaves clearly backed Zohran, legacy media is still trying to act like he's a terrifying anti-semite for having the most boilerplate critique against a genocide is infuriating. Cope! youtu.be/Q8CPgqlXqOs?...

Surprisingly effective things Zohran Mamdani ran on: -free buses -rent freeze -halal cart for $8 instead of $10 -taxing the 1% -no cost childcare -city-owned grocery stores -a Department Of Community Safety for mental health programs and crisis response -building affordable housing -why Cuomo sucks

Maybe I'm crazy, but for years I've been thinking, that with their giant footprint of surface parking in Jersey, Patco actually has an opportunity to spurn a lot of economic growth, including increased ridership, by converting those lots into garages and mixed use development.

Y'know if States and local municipalities would just commit to having circles where it's feasible instead of convoluted infrastructure to accommodate traffic lights, it would improve travel times and reduce backups. Here's an example: youtu.be/_F6xKd7AGKs?...

"Balance in journalism doesn’t mean giving equal weight to truth and lies, it means giving weight proportional to credibility... If one doctor out of a hundred dissents from the consensus, that’s not a “side” deserving 50% of the story. The era of false equivalence needs to end."

This is going to be a controversial opinion for some people: Most of I-95 (as with all highways) should be demolished, buried, and/or capped wherever it cuts through cities. We had all the money in the world to destroy cities for cars and arguments that we can't remedy that are bs

Members of Congress were also there, but were not arrested. One reason why? It's literally illegal for DHS to bar any member of Congress from entering an immigration detention facility for the purposes of conducting oversight.

SEC. 527. (a) None of the funds appropriated
or otherwise made available to the Depart-ment of Homeland Security by this Act may be used to prevent any of the following per-sons from entering, for the purpose of con-ducting oversight, any facility operated by or for the Department of Homeland Security used to detain or otherwise house aliens, or to make any temporary modification at any such facility that in any way alters what is observed by a visiting Member of Congress or such designated employee, compared to what would be observed in the absence of such modification:
(1) A Member of Congress.
(2) An employee of the United States House of Representatives or the United States Sen-ate designated by such a Member for the pur-poses of this section.
(b) Nothing in this section may be con-strued to require a Member of Congress to provide prior notice of the intent to enter a facility described in subsection (a) for the purpose of conducting oversight.

It was clear in the original article. At the same time, if people can't comprehend how these corrections completely change the context of story, then that's a literacy issue

They say that revolutions eat their children, and being a leftist means living in a revolutionary mindset. Our lack of progress is in no small part because, in thinking this way, some of us become intractable absolutist who do not know how to work with other human beings. Y'know, assholes.
