We need to be FIGHTERS who take MONEY from PALANTIR and DRAFTKINGS

this is, as we say in the business, a lie by a liar

No they're not. That's not true.

Democrats are on the path to winning this year, but it is by default. The party has done a horrific job on politics from almost the minute Trump was defeated in
2020. So, sure, they are winning right now - but it's because we have no other choices. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

This world weary cynicism poses as knowledge but it’s actually just the mirror image evil twin of Murc’s Law. Only Democrats have agency *when they lose*, but when they win it’s only by default and because of Republicans’ agency.

There is a scant but extant historical record of Jesus that roughly, though not exactly, comports with the Gospel record.

That is the most common kind of war, to be honest.

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.

Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

really difficult for me to read the quoted tweet as other than implying that DC does not deserve respect or representation

if iran has drones that can fly 7500 miles undetected and unintercepted, we should probably give up now

It is funny that Tim and co. ran off to Toronto under the guise of β€œoh they’re definitely coming after us” and nope, the administration has gone after exactly who we all thought they would, the most vulnerable with the littlest resources possible

No one wants to confront the fact that the ideal fiscal policy for the next Dem President should look almost identical to Biden's but with the addition of confiscatory taxes targeted at top earners that get dedicated exclusively to paying down the debt to offset inflation.

it is easier for americans to imagine the end of the world than the end of the party system which began about two years before the median american was born

it's great that this guy went from being the most hysterical centrist on earth to being a wailing turbodoomer without ever once producing a single sentence which was of any use to any person alive

I think people are overrating the odds the ayatollah is a purely rational utility maximizer and underrating the odds the guy is rather upset about his father, wife, and daughter being incinerated and wants his pound of flesh.

Heated Rivalry but it’s a Sea Flanker and a Super Hornet pilot who meet on shore leave in the Gulf. Make them lesbians and have the American played by that transfem naval aviator who got into activism because fuck you, thatβ€˜s why.

The thing that really gets me about this is that it reveals how fundamentally incurious, and frankly, stupid Schlossberg is

it’s impossible to address the conservative structural bias of the senate without DC statehood. A supermajority of DC residents support statehood. It’s a no-brainer.

Reboot of the Terminator where he travels back to 2006 to show Republicans future-footage of the shit they'll be saying in 2026, and then just silently hands them a loaded gun.
