This is really really bad. Like, you think sponsored ads on Google are annoying? Wait until ISPs throttle load speeds to websites that don't pay them for higher speeds.
A direct consequence of the Supreme Court overturning the Chevron doctrine in Loper Bright Enterprises last term. We are seriously fucked.
A federal appeals court has struck down the FCC’s net neutrality rules that prevented internet service providers from throttling or blocking content or charging more to deliver it

Imagine shooting a friend in the face and it’s so not nearly the worst thing that you did

Putting everything else aside, I cannot tell you how much it irrationally pisses me off that people post this stuff when Mamdani is Shi'a.

GOD DAMMIT THE ISLAMIC STATE IS FUCKING SUNNI
Joe Gebbia, a billionaire, is the co-founder of AirBnB, a presidential appointee and a Tesla board member claiming ISIS waited until the last minute to endorse Mamdani.

This is sick.

Corporate Media & their Reactionary Centrist Pundits/Strategists: Democrats need to support policies that are popular and do things that relate to real Americans

Mamdani: let’s do this!

Elites: oh, no, not like that, we meant centrist policies and by Real Americans we meant reactionary white males

Back for Day 2 of Sandwich Guy’s trial. In government opening statement: “This case is about the fact that you can’t go around throwing stuff at people when you’re mad.”

So, even if Kamala Harris ran the centrist campaign of their dreams featuring police officers, Liz Cheney, no Palestinians, and a pledge to build the most lethal military in the world she did it Black-ly and woman-ly so actually it was a “far left” campaign.

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Perhaps relevant today, a framework for understanding how many election rumors mislead.
The 2024 election is upon us. Millions of ballots have already been cast. Mail-in ballots are being returned. Early voting is taking place. And dozens of rumors are spreading. So, let me re-introduce our framework for diagnosing how many “evidence-based” rumors mislead:
Bluesky readers, I need books please. Here are authors I love. Can you recommend anyone similar?

Fantasy: T Kingfisher, VE Schwab, Katherine Addison

SciFi: Becky Chambers, Martha Wells, Ann Leckie

Romance: KJ Charles, Cat Sebastian, Courtney Milan

Here’s an enchanting scene to say thank you!

Agent Lairmore is done with his testimony. Prosecution asked further about the condiments and he said there was mustard on his uniform and an onion hanging on his radio antenna. Don’t think defense was going for a pun when she called him a “seasoned officer,” but you never know…

Part of what’s happening here is the idea that supporting candidates like Obama and Harris is itself somehow “far left” as if they never won contested elections or had any political talent of their own and supporting any prominent Black person is somehow “radical”
yeah their premise only works because theyve convinced themselves the democratic party has been catering to far left goals despite all evidence to the contrary

But no matter who wins, 2025's predictive power over 2026 is limited. The winner will claim the national wind is at their back; the loser will say there were candidate- and race-specific factors at play. Both will be somewhat correct.
Nobody cares about Charlie Kirk enough to make this kind of joke, especially since the news cycle has moved on, especially not a bunch of fucking math teachers, COME ON.

They have more important things to worry about, like EDUCATING CHILDREN

I don't think people outside of NYC fully see how incredibly RACIST Cuomo's campaign has been. It rivals any of the most racist campaigns of the 20th century. Just racism all the way down.
