June and I had an idea for a bumper sticker and now it exists in real life

Actual hot take: saying some good macroeconomic numbers are false because your friend Dave is struggling to find a job right now is the same logic as saying global warming isn't happening because it was cold this morning out your window.

what i want to see out of future democratic party leaders is a recognition that federal spending is legitimately good, that we should do more of it, and that doing so will require collective contribution that many, many people are going to scream absolute bloody murder about

Israel planning massive ground invasion of Lebanon, officials say "We are going to do what we did in Gaza," said a senior Israeli official.

i keep thinking that there's got to be a capacity limit that israel is going to hit

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I Would Still Like The Gasket And Bulkhead Situation For The SUV Kit Explained To Me

it feels like a lot of Dems are suddenly trying "we can run a robust social safety net by only taxing rich people and corporations" messaging and that is

a) not a great message, in that we should all contribute

b) not actually true, math-wise

And the red and yellow are only enhancing the clown aesthetic

AI Didn't Break the Senior Engineer Pipeline. It Showed That One Never Existed. Most organizations never had a model for developing engineers. They had an environment that produced growth by accident. AI just made the luck run out.

the nitpick i have with this piece — which, at least from my perspective, rings pretty true — is that all of these critiques apply very broadly to org dev in general, with or without AI.

Wow I can really see why it’s so important to stay on twitter

a while back a guy I knew was trying to justify having gone to Curtis Yarvin's wedding, and his girlfriend said "Don't you find him thrillingly contrarian' and I said 'That's how boring people excuse being racist'

Why does America produce so many of these snivelling little goblin men who evangelise an idea of raw natural masculinity that doesn’t resemble them in any way.

Look, I never got around to changing my display name

Hey CENTCOM you’ve been planning for this for decades, you wanna dust off that OPLAN for Hormuz now buddy?

CENTCOM:

i think jamelle bouie is where i got this point from (though its obviously not unique to him): trump doesnt escape consequences so much as the institutions designed to impose consequences refuse to penalize him. this is absolutely not the same thing. hes not magic, people are just lazy and stupid.

ooooh temu figured out it's now shorthand for "cheap off-brand garbage" and is not happy about it

I’m sorry, you are right. I should have included the possibility of Iran mining the Strait of Hormuz in the war plan. It is a critical shipping channel that Iran can block and cripple the world economy. I failed to take that into account. That’s on me.

Yair Zivan @YairZivan Senator, I work for the Leader of the Opposition in Israel and I’m writing this from a bomb shelter with my children. Israel is under attack by fanatical terrorists who want to murder us. It never ceases to amaze that your humanity never seems to extend to Israeli lives. Quote Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders · 56m It’s not just Iran. It’s Lebanon. In less than 2 weeks, Israel has killed 570 people and displaced 750,000 — over 10% of the entire country. Residential buildings are be

This guy works for Yair Lapid and is complaining that Bernie Sanders isn't sufficiently supportive of Israel during a time of war that most Israeli Jewish politicians, including Yair Lapid, wanted and started.

If you think post-Netanyahu relations between US Dems and Israel will improve...

This is the foundational belief of almost every American outside of Manhattan and certain parts of the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens.

You have to make sacrifices for the very clear and articulated objectives of our War in Iran that is also not a war that we’ve also already won

“I am so angry that I am going to help Trump minimize the political consequences of his war!”

slopulism will kill the Democratic Party. no tax on tips, Cory booker’s plan to get rid of taxes on half the country. it’s all slopulist nonsense

MRSA, if you're listening,

there is an extremely long list of people who need to be held accountable in the next administration but sending the DOGE boys to big boy jail needs to be near the top of the list

Italy may have beat us in Baseball but we’re going to beat them in something they invented: being fascist.

We live in a world beyond parody. The United States has had four minesweeper vessels in the Persian Gulf for 35 years. Just yesterday these ships arrived in Philadelphia to be decommissioned, a day before Iran announces that they are mining the Strait of Hormuz.

This isn't funny. My CENTCOM gets very anxious when he has to do something besides hit empty patches of desert with TLAMs.
