@Wilson__Valdez @BernieSanders He called for Platner to drop out.

AIPAC is now spending 8x as much as Abdul El-Sayed's entire campaign on the MI Senate primary.
This race is not between Abdul and Haley Stevens. It is Abdul vs. AIPAC.
A billionaire-funded Super PAC shouldn't determine American elections or foreign policy. Let's support Abdul.

@EsotericCD When I (m40) have epileptic seizures in my sleep, my dreams (and subsequent confusion after waking) are remniscent of Myst.
English
It's impossible for people in 2026 to realize how badly this stupid click-and-solve puzzle game one-shotted an entire generation of boomers (and their Gen X kids) in 1993.

Nabokov reviewing comics
Tintin: A masterpiece. His spectacular adventures delight and inspire
Astérix and Obélix: A puffed up nullity. They mean nothing to me
The Smurfs: A favorite from the age of 3-15, but not thereafter. Their prose and style are really quite turgid and dull
English
@Bisky1505 @paulesq711 Yeah but they are different kinds of insanity.
Are there 100 million people in this country, totally undetected by the census or anyone else?
Or are 100 million of your friends and neighbors secretly here illegally?
Spooky either way!
English
@ATwinEarth @paulesq711 Tbf atp you debate 1/3 or 1/4
Either number is insanity
English
If you actually think there are 100 million illegals, you should be involuntarily committed.

@InhaeGL @jusmas27 @trouble_man90 @ryangrim @neeratanden I don’t know if your inflammatory description of voter preferences is quite right
🙄
but you have to meet the voters where they’re at. Not swing far left of them. Otherwise you lose 🤷
English
@ATwinEarth @jusmas27 @trouble_man90 @ryangrim @neeratanden Voters believed that because to them if you wanna trans people to live and immigrant to be treated as humans beings, so you’re far left.
English
According to @ryangrim, after multiple scandals Platner was the safe, obvious pick for the general. Maybe people should be a little suspect of your push for candidates who have never won any primary or ever faced a Republican in their lives.
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
According to @neeratanden this is the safe, obvious pick for the general

@r_b_242 @jusmas27 @trouble_man90 @ryangrim @neeratanden So you think she was perceived as too far left nationally, but perhaps too far right in Georgia and Pennsylvania (Nevada, Arizona, whatever.)
That’s your theory of 2024?
English
@r_b_242 @jusmas27 @trouble_man90 @ryangrim @neeratanden They usually swing in tandem. Nationwide it’s not even close.

@jusmas27 @trouble_man90 @ryangrim @neeratanden Check the polls—“do you think Kamala Harris/The Democratic Party are too liberal/about right/too conservative”
It might surprise you!

@Downsouthshib @JoshuaHerr6 Right? Greeks have been considered “white” in every sense for a hundred years
English
@JoshuaHerr6 Trad white? Exactly what does trad white look like?
English
Illiterate rage-bait. Modern Greeks look & sound nothing like Homer’s Greeks, and they’re hardly traditionally “white.”
Nolan’s cast looks & sounds like modern Americans because he is claiming that America is the inheritor & torchbearer of Western Civilization.
Jon Del Arroz | Sci-Fi And Fantasy@jondelarroz
The fact Moana used cultural consultants and a fully Polynesian cast and Hollywood bragged about it and required it for the film is a stark contrast to The Odyssey. There's zero Greek actors in leads, they say it "represents the world," and in doing so it's an intentional erasure of culture. Then they'll call you names for noticing they're doing it. It's intentional and it's about destroying western and white civilization. When are white people going to stop cheering on their own genocide?

@waltnewberry @mattyglesias People will not build housing if it doesn’t make them money.
English
@mattyglesias “Spending money on housing for the poor is good-except it’s not going to make people money. Smart to never do it wherever it exists.”
English
Spending money on creating housing for the poor is good but — inclusionary zoning is not that, it’s a targeted tax on new housing. Smart to roll it back wherever it exists.

Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler
Great news: East Palo Alto has eliminated so-called “inclusionary zoning” for projects under 20 units. This should be a model for statewide legislation: paloaltoonline.com/housing/2026/0…

@ATwinEarth @AgentWofICPO @Vibutler_ no I don’t even mean policies, just listen to how they talk about it
English
Max is right and he should say it louder. If DSA wants to be taken seriously it should probably stop giving platform to crazy people
Maximilian 🥰@MaxMaaxMaaax
This kinda stuff is why I don’t really vibe too strongly with DSA anymore y’all, I’m sorry. I’m not touching those 26 replies with a 100 foot pole, no thanks lol
English
@MancoNumberFive @AgentWofICPO @Vibutler_ They’re sometimes at odds with the majority of the country, or with a majority of their own party—but not usually to the right (pro-Israel side) of 90+% of Americans.
English
@ATwinEarth @AgentWofICPO @Vibutler_ given that we’re talking about people with platforms, look at how moderate dems talk about Israel lmao
English
@MancoNumberFive @AgentWofICPO @Vibutler_ Maybe I can’t tell (being a centrist myself) but I don’t think there are too many wild-eyed lunatic moderate Democrats.
English
@AgentWofICPO @Vibutler_ Have you ever seen the Republican Party? Or hell, the democrats even?

@joewrote @besttrousers In electoral politics if your goal is something other than winning, you'll achieve something other than winning.

@lion_tender @AdrienLE Imagine jailbreaking an AI to get it to reveal its cure without having to incur the expense of building a railroad, only to find out that it never had one. Like Al Capone’s vault
English
@AdrienLE Entering AI Box territory here probably. Could it convince the right people that it had a cure for all cancers which would only be unlocked with proof of HSR?
English
Could a superpersuasive AI get a high speed rail line between SF and LA constructed for under $50B and under 10 years with existing construction technology?
