@amandalitman I’ll need to see some evidence that he has any significant influence on young men. That is a laughably ridiculous thing to believe.

On Hasan Piker: He's not on the ballot! And no one is arguing candidates should *be like him* -- but rather, I'm arguing that's it's good politics to reach his audience. If you disagree, tell me your alternative plan for reaching anti-establishment young men.

A full breakdown of my thoughts on the bigger tent discourse, The Groups, litmus tests, "the party," Hasan Piker & more.
1) The problem is, per usual, with the candidates.

Now this is one wild story. The amount of lawsuits coming down the pipeline with stories like this is going to be astronomical.

@Lauren_V_Egan We would lose far more ACTUAL voters than we'd win by trying to get Hasan to support a Democratic candidate.
English
NEW: I wrote about the Hasan Piker debate and how it is testing the limits of Dems "big tent."
If democracy really is at risk, do Dems have the luxury of alienating someone like Piker, or do they have to make political alliances with people who have said questionable things on the internet?

The evidence of 30,000 deaths straight from the horses mouth - and verified by hospital reports.

Democrats spent the last year asking where their Joe Rogan was. Hasan Piker is one of the few left-wing figures with the audience they covet — but the party is deeply hostile to the spontaneity and independence that make figures like him appealing. jacobin.com/2026/03/democr…

I don't think I had fully appreciated how this works, but it's obvious now. NASA is aiming for a point in space where they know the moon will be. Like throwing to a receiver, but on a somewhat larger and faster scale.

If you are using the earth as a reference frame, the moon is actually doing a close flyby of Artemis II.

@hey_now81 @itsmezina__ That's a video from May 2018 of Karam Qawasmi being shot with a sponge-tipped rubber bullet. He survived and the border patrol officer was charged and CONVICTED of assault.

Sorry that your oil is super expensive right now but the Islamic regime just executed three young men for the crime of protesting.
One of them was Saleh Mohammadi, a 19-year-old wrestling champion.
So ya…priorities…

@jonfavs Again, not a Nazi but he’s someone who really likes Nazis. Or maybe he just likes what they did. 🤷🏼♂️

Wow I guess they don’t make Nazis like they used to huh

@dilanesper I’m sorry, but the vast majority of Americans could give a shit about what goes on in the West Bank.

A lot of people are giving Matt crap for saying "Democrats should take a more popular position and criticize Israel", but it's very relevant that Israel under Netanyahu made choices to sideline the PA and support settlers that have DECREASED its popularity in the US.

One way I’ve integrated AI into the classroom is that I begin each class by having students take out their laptops, open up Claude, and talk to it about whatever for 45 minutes while I go outside and vape.

Well that ends the debate on deaths in Gaza.
Hamas itself is admitting that 80% of casualties were combatants.
There was never a genocide.
You have been lied to and manipulated.

You know what really pisses me off about Chapstick Roan? She’s a shitty drag queen.
There’s no performance of femininity, no heightened femininity, no political statement, just clown make-up and an attitude. If you’re going to steal drag culture at least do it fucking well. 🙄

What kind of political movement would even *want* to harass worshippers and schoolchildren on their way in and out? It was only 14 days ago that a Hezbollah gunman tried to commit a mass casualty attack on a Michigan synagogue and daycare center.
Jacob N. Kornbluh@jacobkornbluh
🚨 Breaking: The NYC Council voted to pass the synagogue protection bill with a veto-proof majority of 44 of 51 members. The bill to create a buffer zone for protests outside educational centers also passed, but only by a 30–19 margin — Mamdani could veto it if he chooses.

A little "developing story" that I've been inadvertently following on here for some time now is The American Prospect's investigations editor (and co-founder of Jezebel) cracking up and going down a conspiracist rabbit hole. Rare to see an establishment-ish progressive doing this
