Brooklyn-born transplant to San Francisco. Not clever enough to be a shitposter, not smart enough to be an expert on anything, not funny enough to be a comedian. Basically mid. Pro-Bay Area sportsball. Anti-GOP, Trump, Nazis. No DMs. Slava Ukraini!

This is a must-watch.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

"You guys"? What is that supposed to mean? And why do your warnings about Fetterman have anything to do with Platner? Just because he hired people who helped Fetterman win a Senate seat for the Democrats? Is there some kind of transitive property I'm not seeing here?

Late Boomers, too. I starting using computers (for work and pleasure) in my late '20s-early '30s. There were other things to do back then, phones were dumb, and I didn't spend 24/7 on a computer or a phone.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

This is why those “who’s surprised?” comments really don’t move me because we act as if this is sectioned off into “politics” or “culture wars” and don’t affect the bedrock institutions in the society.

This is a fake account.

LOL. Again, your gripe is with PA Democrats, who overwhelmingly voted for him. I'm in California. I think Fetterman should resign, as he's clearly unwell. But that's not my concern.

Oooh, damning with faint praise.

I love this "people who helped the Democratic candidate for Senate win in PA" now have the mark of Cain and are never to be trusted again, because they didn't know Fetterman would become a totally different person after his stroke. Someone said that Conor Lamb would have been far better. Well...

Results for the Democratic primary for Senate in PA, 2022:

John Fetterman 753,557 votes 58.65%
Conor Lamb 337,498 votes 26.27%
Malcolm Kenyatta 139,396 votes 10.85%
Alexandra Khalil 54,460 votes 4.24%

And I think I don't just attempt sarcasm, I succeed at it.

Ed "Big Spooky Bones" Costanza @gojira65.bsky.social · 5h

Who cares who endorsed who? Fetterman won the goddamn primary, by a 33% margin. I guess your problem is with the primary voters in PA.

Ed "Big Spooky Bones" Costanza @gojira65.bsky.social · 5h

Fetterman won the primary. He got 59%, Lamb got 26%. Why don't you get in your time machine back to 2022 and warn everybody away from Fetterman, like Paul fucking Revere or something.

Ed "Big Spooky Bones" Costanza @gojira65.bsky.social · 6h

I'm not a "far leftie." Fetterman had a stroke which fucked him up royally and he should resign. I guess "she" (actually a guy named Brandon McPhillips (who was also Biden's PA state director in 2020) should have seen that coming. Also I guess PA would be much better off with Dr. Oz in the Senate.

What they will do instead is run puff pieces about Bari Weiss and publish TERFs like Helen Lewis and Jesse Singal and idiots like Liz Bruenig and Conor Friersdorff.

Ed "Big Spooky Bones" Costanza @gojira65.bsky.social · 6h

Yes. And?

Ed "Big Spooky Bones" Costanza @gojira65.bsky.social · 6h

Oh, yeah. Six months as a contractor with the former Blackwater, before getting disillusioned and coming home. Big admirer of Hawley and hater of Dems. Without any caveats whatsoever.

While Platner is critical of the Democratic establishment, he said he has faith that the party can be turned back into one of and for working people. And despite his critiques, he does believe there are people in the Senate doing good things.

Smoking outside after the town hall, Platner rattled off some current U.S. senators who he admires: Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Democrats Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Ed Markey of Massachusetts. On the other side of the aisle, Josh Hawley of Missouri.

“We don’t see eye to eye on a lot of things, but he has been fighting for stuff,” Platner said. “For instance, trying to ban stock trading. Yeah, I’m into that,” notably the opposite stance Collins has taken.

But what Platner is not interested in is being what he considers a “reform candidate.” Even the politicians he likes he doesn’t believe are thinking big enough.

He’s pitching a return to a Democratic Party that backs major structural change. As an example, he pointed to his personal hero, Frances Perkins, a workers rights advocate who served as U.S. Secretary of Labor under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the first woman ever to serve in a presidential cabinet. She wasn’t “looking to make little changes around the margins” or “trying to figure out how to use a tax credit here or a block grant there,” he said. Perkins, whose family had a homestead in Maine, invented something entirely new: Social Security.

Thanks for the confirmation, shitheel.

Apologies in advance: I'm in a bad fucking mood today, and people are pissing me off, IRL and here. Just started watching the original Dexter series (yeah, a few years late) and thinking about what I'd like to do to bad people.

Dude, he worked for the successor company to Blackwater as a State Dept. contractor for six months, before getting disilusioned with the military and coming home. You're talking like as he was shooting up civilians in Fallujah. If mildly "praising Hawley" is your litmus test, you're an idiot.

Some people here are saying it was a thing in the '90s, but I've never encountered it in the SF Bay Area.
