Saying progressives & leftists to “reach out” to conservatives annoys me as much as those saying nonbelievers need to “reach out” to believers. Today you gotta be in an impermeable bubble to not know believers or conservatives.

Starting to think the best way to address MAGA is to also make shit up. “I can’t address Chip Roy’s comments because I can’t see him; like all Republicans and their tiny king, Jesus F. Maloney, he exists on a microscopic plane undetectable to human eyes. They murdered Gandhi for saying as much.”

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

“How can I be a good white ally?” “What do I do?” “How do I show POC that I’m one of the good ones.”

Be like John Brown!

John Brown didn’t ask enslaved people how to be an ally. So why do y’all keep asking us? The question itself is the violence.

I may be getting the timeline wrong, but it seems to me that Carlson doubled down after the Jon Stewart “Crossfire” kerfuffle

Listen to me:

Our profit from the post office is the post office.
Our profit from a library is the library.
Our profit from a school is the school.
And our profit from our lives is life.
Our life. Ours.

The adamant elite refusal to call bullshit is a big part of How We Got Here.

The prevailing cultural attitude for years is you must not, under any circumstances, treat anything as bad faith. You are obligated to find some reasonable idea and engage with that, even if you distort to get there.

Belief is really the wrong framing when it comes to fascists and grifters.

They don't really believe anything, they just tell stories

A decent example of a genuine public apology. Contrition, acknowledgment of the consequences of your actions and a pledge to do better. He still hides behind passive voice here and there. But I am hopeful that he won't do this again

May 18th was a very difficult day for me. That day, MLB announced the positive result of a doping test conducted in March 2025.
I am fully aware that using prohibited substances is wrong and I would never intend to do so because I have always had great respect for the game, my organization, my teammates and the fans, all of whom I want to offer my sincere apologies.
I made a mistake and therefore, I have faced the consequences set forth by MLB.
Going forward, my focus is on working hard to help the team win.
Once again, I offer my deepest apologies to the Phillies organization, my teammates, my family, my country Venezuela, the City of Philadelphia and the fans who have always supported me, especially the children and young people.
There is always a lesson to be learned in every mistake.
I thank God for giving me the strength to overcome this situation. I am glad to be back and ready to support the team.
José Alvarado

one of the stranger phenomena in American life is that hate is supposed to flow in one direction (rural people get to hate urban people, Republicans get to hate Democrats) and if the hate goes the other way people pretend as if this is very upsetting.

Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social · Jul 4

The media made a HUGE deal out of "basket of deplorables" and "cling to their guns or religion."

But, of course, it will totally ignore Trump saying he hates Democrats: "I hate them. I believe they hate their country."

in addition to his "shylocks" comment, i can't imagine the media backlash if Biden said anything like from this screenshot - that he "hates Republicans" - and i'm also tired of having this "IMAGINE IF BIDEN!" thought experiment but it's just a constant reminder of the double standards

In the comments of their Spelling Bee Buddy page, NYT said they’d glitched somehow and posted the wrong letters initially. (An old Bee combo maybe?)

I’m ingratiating to people to a fault, so I might be biased towards pleasantries. But when I was a credit union teller I appreciated the niceties. I felt like I was being treated as a human and not as a server. Maybe I’d feel differently if I had a tightly defined task where I need the info NOW
