I think I’m to the left of most of the organization, but DSA needs to split entirely from the democrats and run their own candidates. They’re the biggest left organization and have some mainstream buy-in. It’s the only electoral path forward.

Someone should put this on a work camp meme

A striking moment of self-awareness from David Brooks

Public education has very purposely been decimated over the last decades. It leaves us with the broad decision making abilities that we’re looking at here. Combined with overwhelming propaganda and the obscuring of information, Americans are barely aware of actual politics.

Tim Walz’s instincts were correct in calling them all weird. JD Vance is a fucking weirdo. You’d want to throw yourself out of your dorm window if he was your roommate. It needs to be combined with a legitimate left economic alternative though.

People aren’t going to want to hear it - but the Chapo Traphouse dirtbag left was how to keep young men out of right-wing politics. Problem for the establishment was that their beliefs are ACTUAL left politics, not corporatized and sanitized “left-wing” capitalism.

It’s fascinating to live through a real-time political shift where the democrats have allowed the neoconservative fox into the neoliberal hen house, leaving the republican party or whatever replaces it to pursue whatever is still to the right of American mainstream politics.

This honestly almost hurts more than the Cheney endorsement.

Now that artists are sampling songs that I danced to in college, they all sound like silly little novelty songs. Is this how older people have always heard hip hop?

Alright alright I’ll say what everyone else is thinking: cyber truck looks stupid.

This headline is a perfect encapsulation of the fact that we are not a country with a government, we’re all just subjects of an amorphous group of Capitalists. The US is companies and companies is what we are.

The Abu Ghraib scandal sent shock waves through the Middle East with repercussions to this day. What's happening now is on a far larger scale than Abu Ghraib. This will be Biden's legacy.

And the worst part is that the dad in the video did exactly what you should do to help an autistic kid regulate himself. They’re all tripping over their dicks to say he’s a dismissive parent or some bullshit.

Every once in a while I’ll stumble upon a TikTok with a total fucking cess pool in the replies. Just hundreds of fucking gen Xers blaming gentle parenting for an autistic kid’s tantrum and not a single one of them being able to recognize it as autistic behavior.

This is one of the so painfully obvious things that an actual functioning society would do without even thinking about it.

Oh. I went to block him and it turns out it was an ad, just not labeled as such until you reject it.

Why the fuck is Tucker Carlson on my feed? I only use Following, and I am not on For You. It doesn’t appear to be an ad or a promotion.
