A little frustrating that bsky moderation prevents us from seeing violence like this

Interaction between Derek Guy and Matt Stoller on X, the Everything App. Stoller: "Your weird insecurities aside, you consistently lie that native born Americans can't and never have made clothes, and push offshoring in sleazy ways. Then when confronted you have to talk about your left wing views. You're slime."

Not going to believe you are 'crazy on wings' until I hear a Quaker Steak & Lube report on the pod.

I am getting a little chuckle at the idea that an ivy encrusted hack falling their way upward because they oil up the worst excesses of amoral corporatism is a new phenomena.

Fun day for folks that used to excuse his shitty politics becuase they argued he was an intelligent writer on the arts.

I'm sure she'll be fine - she's already learned the most important thing watching you, which is to tell everyone you were the leader of a social organization when you were clearly number 3 or 4 at most.

The most important thing about the Mamdani campaign was finding out who he is. The second most important thing was finding who Brad Lander is. He needs to be running for a state level or higher office ASAP.
