someone on marketplace has been trying to sell this couch for weeks and the price keeps getting lower and I just don’t think thats the issue
Like this is the electoral environment where you run on the absolute wokest of Woke 2.0, because voters don't give a shit right now and will crawl over shattered glass for the chance to vote against Trumpism
For the life of me I cannot understand why Ds are trying to out-Republican Rs on taxes **in this particular moment in time**
That's the sort of thing when you're getting blown out and desperate, not when you're looking at a D+13 or more midterm wave
your vote is rarely the single decisive vote
but sometimes it is! and you never know when that might be
If you find yourself following someone who is called woke ginger or pissed off nurse or whatever, they’re not your ally. Your ally is someone with an obscure Pokémon avatar called like ant piss aficionado
“Fuck! I’m dying!” during a press conference. “Fuck! I’m fucking dying! Oh God, it hurts! Ahhhhhhh!” Trump said in response to a question about the ongoing war in Iran
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."

June and I had an idea for a bumper sticker and now it exists in real life
Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
same pretty much, grad school is a pain in the ass but hopefully I'll be done soon :)
btw how have you been doing bennyboy! we haven't talked in a while it feels like
it's a horrid term when used sincerely. ironically? it's absolute gold
"A Porno" is an awful horrible phrase. Porn is good and should be accepted, "Watching a Porno" should be made illegal.
Porno is such a funny word, how is it so much more crass than just saying porn
post i made that goes over the character limit where i say "i think ppl should talk more about how california is named after an island of pagan black amazon ladies who ride griffins into battle to help muslims take constantinople in some 16th century spanish guy's adventure story. it's like if we discovered a new continent and hundreds of years later the most economically advanced region of it was called westeros"
what makes RimWorld so special is that its storytelling system allows for it to emergently confront the player with hard-hitting questions like "what if the SCP Foundation had to sell crack to afford food"
genuinely no clue that the thing he just said out loud on TV is specifically, definitionally ordering a war crime
Hegseth 100% thinks that "no quarter" is just a thing you can say that makes you sound ruthless and badass lol
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
lol. Panera Bread reaps what they sow.

This is crucially important point.
1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term
2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post
No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK
i hate that living in Groyper America makes me genuinely nostalgic for all the excesses and little annoyances of Woke
i miss pronoun circles. i miss land acknowledgements. i miss D&D podcasts where everyone talks like they go to therapy. i miss pride flag discourse
i think people on the ostensible left are trying to bring it back specifically because it hearkens back to the past
having done more thinking on this issue in recent months i think another big component in the rise of Chud Lexicon on the "left" is just simple irony poisoning. we start affecting a voice to make fun of right-wingers and we do it long enough we forget we were doing a voice at all
"moralfag" is a vacuous term with no meaningful purpose or point outside of sounding chuddish and if you're adamant on using it i don't really have any respect for you
my favourite Fan Theories are just when nerds discover basic literary theory all by themselves but can only express it through the language of Fan Theories
