Want to see how corrupt the GOP is? Lisa Murkowski from Alaska didn’t like new cuts to federal programs. So Republicans just said “Okay, we’ll exempt Alaska from the cuts.” And so she voted for the cuts for everyone else. They’ll cut your benefits, just not their own.

Calling Mamdani a “nepo baby” is silly but I think he does have what Shamus Khan describes as “ease” — the ability to be comfortable in a number of domains and modes of expression — which Khan argues is the contemporary expression of privilege

[guy at the legislation factory] I guess we doin national suicide now

California NIMBYs 🤝 Trump killing construction jobs

Reporters do not write their own stories. They are mostly dependent on PR professionals and “sources” to pitch stories to them, complete with a folder of references and source material for them to use. It never occurs to them to take initiative to report on the budget bill

True reactionaries eventually realize that the US of the 1920s was way way too progressive for anything they imagine wanting so end up either blaming Lincoln as America’s greatest progressive monster or decide that democracy was a mistake

The Republican Party, a party of auto dealers, agricultural gentry, and small businessmen, are never going to support the tech industry. It was foolish to ally with republicans at all

I am annoyed at hotels and car rental agencies repeatedly emailing me to take a 10 minute survey about my experience where I rate 6-10 questions on a scale of 1-10. I really will never have any strong or important feelings about those things worth filling out a survey about

Matthew Zeitlin We should all aspire to being comfortable in many domains and modes of expression. That’s a good thing! The privileged can do it more easily but that’s something we should try to cultivate in ourselves

He really said, “These jobs are fake. But without them the economy would collapse” No one sees the contradiction here?

all the clips coming out of Zohran talking about seizing the means of production *now* just shows how hilariously lazy and inept the Cuomo campaign was. nobody has deserved to lose an election more than he did
