"A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel." — Robert Frost A tired, hoary old cliche perhaps, but painfully accurate nonetheless.

Whenever he does this I think of how freakishly terrifying those body proportions would look on a real person. Children would run away screaming.

Mamdani should have taken the Irish Prime Minister to McDonald's yesterday. It's got a "Mc" in the name so it must be what those people eat all the time.

The "Sister Souljah moment" wasn't a moment; rather, it has been the essence of Democratic Party strategy ever since the days of Reagan. These people have been in a defensive crouch for so long they couldn't stand up straight if they tried.

Reminds me of the "coming Republican crackup" that I've been hearing about for as long as I've been aware of politics. Because the coalition of so-called "fiscal conservatives" and neocons and Christian theocrats simply can't hold together indefinitely. But of course it can and it has.

She was all for it when it was Venezuelans and Guatemalans getting thrown into concentration camps. She's only mad now because recently arrived Cuban immigrants are being treated just as horribly by ICE as everyone else, and no longer get special treatment.

But if we allow Lukeist ideology into the classroom, where does it end? You send your sweet, innocent 8-year-old Benjamin off to his elementary school one day and he comes home and says "Daddy, I want to be a Luke." That may fly on the coasts, but the good people of the heartland won't stand for it.

Look, if you don't actively cheerlead for the people who want to take away your rights, you're effectively ceding the election to people who want to take away your rights. Why is this so hard to understand?

My cousin's best friend told me about somebody who ate some Tillamook cheese and immediately ran out and voted for Zohran Mamadani that same day even though the election happened last year and they don't live in NYC

Wow...to have this on the same day as Bret Stephens' "All the ordinary working New Yorkers hate Mamdani but they didn't vote against him in the primary because they were summering in Greece or on the Vineyard"...it's like five Christmases rolled into one.

From Wiki: "Salazar was born in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood, the daughter of Cuban exiles." Yeah, what a surprise. She's just mad because Cubans are being treated as shittily as all the other immigrants, rather than getting a special carve-out like they have for decades.

I've seen the idea floated that they're planning a surprise party for Ian's wife and that seems highly plausible to me.

Thank you so much for this. It's been sadly revealing to see so many ostensible small-l liberals prepared to throw a minority that is literally fighting for its right to exist under the bus.

Women claim they don't like being ogled and slobbered over and objectified, but they're lying. Brooke understands women better than they understand themselves.

I'd like to see a fraction of this kind of righteous rage directed at transphobic Dem candidates, as opposed to the people who are calling them out on it. I see way too many people here who only talk about trans issues when they're telling trans people to calm down and vote for people who hate them.

Once you understand that "boomer" is not a generational label, but merely a way for people to shit on anyone older than themselves without being accused of ageism, it all makes sense.

But he would never embrace the r-word itself. It's more a case of "It's not racism if they really *are* inferior." Cf. The Bell Curve and its many defenders.

LOL -- "we killed Osama Bin Laden." Who the fuck is "we," Rod? No mention of the fact that that killing was the work of the Evil Kenyan Usurper, who, Dreher regularly insisted, despised this country and everything it stood for.

Uncle K 🏳️‍🌈 @unclek.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

This is accurate as far as it goes, but there's a crucial omission. Given that our Mayor is a woke communist antifa probably-gay Muslim, we have to find time to pray to Mecca five times a day in between all of the stabbings. Violators are subject to punishment by stabbing.

There are not one but two Springfields in suburban Philadelphia, in two adjoining counties. I know because I spent part of my childhood in one of them. But I think the consensus is that the Springfield in the show is meant to be in Oregon.

I can't tell you how reassuring that latter figure is. Watching from the US it has felt like the UK is in the grip of an obsessive frenzy of transphobia, even worse than what the right is trying to drum up here.

You have to read all the way to the end of the article to get the gist. Sounds like somebody is in need of a new career and has decided her best bet is "right-wing grievance peddler."

From the linked article: "Eddy’s contract with Angel City is coming to an end, having re-signed in 2024 for a contract that ran through the end of the year. She hasn't started for the team all season, and Angel City failed to make the playoffs, which start this week."

I grew up in an environment where people would say "There are black people, and then there are n******s" as a way of showing how *not*-racist they were.
