I get it. But also the American media environment is completely dominated by conservative propaganda so there really is no reason to think that this won’t continue for a long time to come.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

I love when leftists who openly don't vote demand you take them seriously, like bro you're declaring openly you don't play the sport we're talking about how to play, you are not relevant.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Exactly

Do people really think that Dem candidates are not already doing and saying those things?

Kansas voters do not make decisions based on policy choices; they vote Republican bc they are terrified of all the other things that come out of the mouths of east coast urban progressives.

So CBS settled Trump’s lawsuit where he frivolously sued because they edited Kamala Harris’s interview so it would fit into their air time.

Then CBS does a 73 minute interview of Trump where they made big edits from the version that was broadcast.

They aired 28 of 73 minutes.

Now that I'm using Godot and am migrating to Linux I might as well just switch wholesale to open source tools while I'm at it. I think the one big remaining thing is that I use Studio One for composing and occasional sound work, so lemme know if there are alternatives worth checking out

Yup

FOX: “We attack Democrats, but from the Right!”

CBS: “We attack Democrats, but from the Middle!”

Leftists: “We attack Democrats, but from the Left!”

…the onus is on him to do it. If he wants to claim to be a leader then he needs to show that he can win over skeptical members of the party that he wants to lead. He seems like the kind of person who could do it so I hope he does.

…activist mindset to a governing/coalition building mindset and then you blame everyone else for your failures. Mamdani-who I want to win-needs to understand that his behavior during the last presidential campaign is going to require him to mend some fences for those wounds to heal. And, yes, …

Should we sue them?

David Pakman @davidpakman.bsky.social · 21h

Trump sued 60 Minutes for editing a Kamala Harris interview to “make her look better.” Yesterday, 60 Minutes edited Trump’s interview, removing numerous outrageous claims, which made Trump look less insane. Will Trump sue them for it?

Terrapinion @terrapinion.bsky.social · 21h

The Democratic nominee in the last presidential election.

Of course Mamdani is the Democratic nominee for mayor.

The New York Post is not a journalistic publication and it amazes me that people are stupid enough to think it is.

New York Post @nypost.com · 23h

Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting mass exodus: poll

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday's mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, a new poll warns.

This market is a soap bubble and we all know it. Claims of the capacity to obviate or automate human labor are absurd. We know this. But that won’t stop them from disrupting labor markets and, with them, human lives. pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

I am genuinely curious why so many people think that a Mamdani-type candidate could win an election outside of the unique urban setting of New York City. Districts like that are in the maybe low-single-digits.

Ginny Hogan @ginnyhogan.bsky.social · 22h

After Zohran wins by double-digits, Abigail Spanberger wins by 4, and Mikie Sherrill wins by 1, I’m mentally preparing myself for a dozen headlines saying “Why Sherrill & Spanberger are the REAL future of the Democratic Party”

Terrapinion @terrapinion.bsky.social · 22h

I mean, you just admitted that Mamdani supporters already loathe Dems, so snark seems kinda appropriate here?
And Bernie has never been a member of the Democratic Party?
And Mamdani refused to endorse the Democratic nominee?
But, sure, you guys are the aggrieved party here.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

Politicians like Zohran Mamdani get out there and mingle with the people they want to vote for them. These politicians are more in touch with voters and their concerns.

Self-important, unstable Nancy Mace, on the other hand, uses cops to keep voters at a distance when she goes through an airport.

South Korea has mandated solar canopies for large parking lots. It's a no-brainer. We could offer firms incentives to do it here, or they could just friggin' do it! (H/t @assaadrazzouk.bsky.social)

Here's a little sumptin' I put together a while back...

What if Walmart turned its parking lots into solar farms?

We asked experts to help crunch the numbers.
