James talarico and Mamdani do the best job I’ve seen (in the last few years) at stating their beliefs very tangibly while not alienating the other side. We need that.

Me: there’s no way they could mess up the men’s and women’s teams winning the hockey gold medals

Trump (but certainly not kash): hold my beer

Will see yall at the Costco food court this weekend

THIS ISNT TRUE

Mike Macdonald does not strike me as someone that’s going to deny a White House visit. But the great thing about Mike Macdonald is he’s probably not even the one making the choice. Leadership counsel!

Seahawks not visiting the White House is case study in misinformation. Was literally all over my x and Bluesky… 70% they do visit on kalshi and no official reporting on them being invited or making a decision.

The turning point halftime show being on one of the live tv channels that comes with your Samsung tv is the most on brand thing I could think of.

Shitshow

This is awful and it’s sick that it has taken tragedy after tragedy for the masses to stand up. But my timelines, across social media, are in a completely different spot than a month ago. A sliver of hope in these incredibly dark times.

My friends that aren’t on Bluesky/twitter are finally catching up to how scary these times are. This app isn’t perfect and x is a worse version of hell but I do appreciate both of them for staying truly up to date. Feels like the new news.

I like nothing about what Alex honnold is doing in 2 hours but hell yes I’ll be watching.

An underrated factor going into this weekend? Lumen field. It 100% lost its juice in the last 5+ years… but when you’re there and it’s at its best the team almost feels invincible.

It was back in full force Saturday… and rams fans travel worse.

#gohawks

I am so tired of nfl football analysis and predictions. I will never understand people basing entire predictions based on the previous games from entirely different parts of the season.

As the guy gets crazier, more of “maga” isn’t gonna necessarily support trump. If we continue the shit talk, the polarization will stay. I agree on the insane ones applauding his every move!

I think the most practical case right now on the internet is im seeing a lot of former trump voters admitting they made a mistake. I’m still on the x shithole. The majority of comments on those posts are demeaning those individuals for voting for him.

To me, that feels so clearly counterproductive

No the government for decades. Trump pinned those issues on those things. Because he is truly cancer. And they stupidly went along.

I hear ya - it doesn’t make sense. But if you’re a farmer in Mississippi and you’ve been entirely forgotten about by the establishment… for decades… can you see the temptation of something new and different? Even if he’s a filthy liar. Maybe not and that’s okay. Appreciate you talking through it.

Interesting - my (admittedly more optimistic) take is that many of these people are people that feel wronged by the system. And so when this trump guy comes up and pins all their problems on things like immigrants… they’ve latched onto that. Pretty much people that have been wronged… then deceived

Agree to disagree! I just hate the anger. And truly think it will destroy this country. So I personally don’t play into it. But do you, incredibly frustrating times.

Love your enemies is a great book on this topic!

In other words, many of them aren’t pieces of shit. Their action to vote for him was shitty… but I’m not going to demean someone for a bad action.

The racist, sexist ones we see on the internet? Not talking about them, though I would still argue the name calling is going to get us nowhere happy

I hear you. I think when we imagine a trump voter… the person that comes to mind is misaligned to the reality of the majority of them.

Many that voted for him, especially the first time, may have also voted for Bernie. Lower middle class people that have been screwed by the establishment.

I work remote and mainly out of coffee shops. Have become an expert conversation snooper. Not one table has missed out on talking Seahawks today. Maybe this state a little bit fair weather… but i don’t care, it’s alive again for the hawks!

Re iterating that I am not speaking to the truly racist, fascist-like ones. But that’s the point - they arent all the same, just like we dont want other countries to think we are all the same.

I mean it’s a selfish choice - I want to live in a country where I can get along with someone that votes different than me. Putting myself in the shoes of a trump voter… it would be pretty hard to even open my mind to dipping out if im being asked to join the people calling me dipshits and fascists.

I think we should take some responsibility. For example, calling everyone that voted for him the first time fascists wasn’t the right move to lower the temperature. We gotta stop with the hatred for the other side, aside from the true fascists. Or we are 1000% doomed.

Emphasis on the slushy dear lord he’s unwell.

This trump presser is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen and that is probably understating how bad it is

Just presented at our marketing all hands to my 75% SF based company..

“Im Colin on the campaigns team. For the San Francisco based contingent, go Seahawks.”

What’s the latest on the turning point halftime show? 💀
