Imagine not showing up to a battle with strategic-range munitions. Couldn't be we

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

incredibly nuanced takes here

it would restore a lot of faith in america if we gibbeted him on the washington monument

he can be beaten but when beaten must be destroyed

one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl

My landlord just fucking cancelled my rent increase because there's a new apartment building going up near me! They SAID it was because of the new apartment building!!!

The fact that the only way to meaningfully lower housing costs requires letting capitalists make a lot of money building expensive new homes kind of breaks a lot of people’s brains.

Like for real one of the main things that's hard to get used to is people talking about the category of people you belong to as An Other. It's a weird feeling, like you're a zoo animal being judged. But they aren't talking about YOU you - they've never met you, never heard of you.

It ain't about us white people at all. Rather, it's a reminder to people who aren't white that white people like us who are actively grappling with our whiteness as A Thing We Are/Have are still people who experience whatever advantages brought on by that. We still get some power out of that.

Cool so everyone will keep buying the same amount of oil. Meanwhile there’s 20% less oil. I wonder what will happen next!

That's incredible. Genius work

This is a pretty normal thing to have happen during a war. It's a good reason not to do war, especially surprise war.

I've basically gone full Schmittian when it comes to these cretins. Ogles and his ilk aren't counterparties in a democratic system; they are sworn enemies of the American republic who are working to destroy it from within.

she's too powerful

The problem with this “sacrifice for our freedom” language is that the Trump administration cannot articulate a single half-plausible reason it did this, didn’t bother to explain to the public it was starting a war in the first place, and has changed its explanation for why three times in a week.

If you get into a “who can cut taxes more” battle with the GOP, you’re going to lose because they are far more shameless and antagonistic to the idea of living in a functioning society.

Don’t concede to their framing that taxes are nothing but a problem to be solved.

Tapping the sign

my prediction is this kind of gleeful anti-social, low-trust behavior is going to be stigmatized by Woke 2.0 www.curbed.com/article/whol...

You could probably crash Leavitt's brain by asking "Is anything off the table?" And when she reflexively says no following up with "Even the president jerking off the entire Guardian Council of Iran? That's on the table?"

To be clear, the DoD does not actually want your good for nothing kids, we love the AVF, this administration just says crazy shit. They just thought this would sound cool as part of their "nothing is off the table" talking point.

We encabulating more turbo than ever before

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”

international women’s day

i don't care about any arguments against this. right now the sum total of my political advocacy is: crush the Republicans and make them pay. i don't care what comes after because until we do that nothing better is possible.

this was the IRA, which every senate democrat voted for and every senate republican voted against

this is also very stupid because the totenkopf, specifically, is maybe the *single* skull and crossbones design that you could pick which is *unambiguously* nazi shit, out of the infinite number of skull and crossbones designs you could get tattooed, that's the *only* one that has *no* other meaning

real talk I can't tell if you're doing a Bit or not. I can never tell if anyone working with generative models is doing a Bit or not.

i don't get it. you can lift at the gym. being a softhanded scribe is like the pinnacle of civilized life, tens of thousands of generations of your ancestors would have murdered to be a softhanded scribe

a lot of what has made discourse insane is that there's an entire crop of guys who live in dc, do a ton of uppers, and have massive gender insecurity around the fact that they're soft-handed scribes
