it's not that stunning. in fact this seems fully in line with the thinking of this modern robber baron class we have today.

this is where our obsession with ai is leading us. it's all follow the machines blindly and trust everything they tell us without question. it is a dangerous place to be.

all of these videos exist and they're still blatantly lying through their veneers without so much as a second thought. and it's fully picked up and loudly amplified by the right wing mediasphere. and that's all people inside that bubble hear.

this is a memo to anyone who wants to run as a progressive or dsa style dem. follow what this man is doing. learn how he communicates. this is what won him this election in a city that can be openly hostile to dsa types. so many of you never ever learn.

loved hearing one of the marching bands play knights of cydonia by muse. great song for a marching band to adopt. it's my favorite muse song by a lot. also one that's ripe for a synthony style orchestra outfit to properly adapt and cover.

this doesn't matter. it will never matter. even if they are embarrassed by what this administration is turning into, and the end of the day, this is what they wanted. they want the cruelty and the punishment of the "other". more importantly, denying dems matters more than anything at all to them.

why are we not just calling this the miller doctrine? trump didn't think any of this up. miller has full control.

i visited pike place when i was in town (in fact here's a silly selfie of me in front of the sign like every tourist) in january 2020, and it did seem odd they let cars get down there. you can see cars right behind me! these sorts of places should be pedestrian only!

following a "blunt instrument" strategy has worked for them for 10 years at this point. why change what works for them? threaten, bully, and subdue.

you start fixing this by actually allowing a new generation to take control of the levers of party power. the current gerontocracy that runs the party is stuck 30+ years in the past that thinks that a good hit on cnn or a nyt op-ed remains the best way to get the message out to to the voting public.

again, seeing a LOT of discourse here from people that aren't from and likely have never visited maine slamming people for "defending a tattoo" and missing the point about what actually makes this guy popular with actual voters in maine. we'll never learn. ever. we'll just forever point fingers.

i'm amazed at just how many people on this app have such strong deadset views about a candidate in a senate race when they don't live in that state. i say this because actual voters in that state seem to be all on board with said candidate. like a real political poll showing the cancidate with...

honestly, jj watt's look with the hairdo and the old school glasses just *works*. he looks like he got lifted right out of '75. they needed to give ian a matching pair of old school glasses. the modern rectangular ones don't work with the throwback look.

was all of his "advice" basically bullshit free market techbro bullshit where the real fix is taking away regulation and letting the techbros "reinvent" society in their image? because that's how they ALL operate and then throw hissy fits when they don't get their way and then back conservatives.

i FULLY expect the rank and file are over this and say trump won. and it will overwhelm the parts of maga that are angry at trump, because the only recourse they truly have is to stop supporting him, and they won't, bc owning the libs is more important to them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

if anyone's surprised by the diddy trial outcome, go on max and watch s1e2 of the boondocks, the trial of robert kelly. that was 20 years ago and the sentiment in that episode is still the exact same one that we have in this country. i'm honestly surprised he got convicted on any charges at all.

i love how for a number of years, the #apple approach has been to make macos more like ios. this year, they've finally realized that it's better to make the ipad work more like the mac, esp given that the ipad is basically a macbook air in disguise. that's going in the right direction.

this is such an example of how broken we are as a society. look, sydney sweeney is a beautiful woman. no argument from me. but soap made with water she was in for a commercial? this is gross, and creepy, and an indicator of how fucked up our treatment of women is. and i'm a cishet man saying this.
a very gross twitter ad from soap brand doctor squatch showing a soap product made with bathwater sydney sweeney was in for a commercial for them.

i mean egg prices have stabalized and dropped a bit. i did get two 24 packs at costco recently that worked out to around 3.85 a dozen. but that still isn't back to older prices of around 2 bucks a dozen before this. i miss the days of the 99 cent dozen for sure.

they know scotus doesn't want to directly take this on if you ask me (hence why the orders about this were done in a way that told the govt they had to make the efforts to get him back but also put most of the onus on the district court). unless scotus slaps them back directly, nothing will change.
