Shit, that’s a good one.

He meant expensive.

Well, I wasn’t even thinking about that, but now I’ve got a whole new thing to be self-conscious about.

People are right in saying it’s context and consent, and it’s not completely gendered. Men’s swimsuits are basically just boxer shorts. Normally I’m not self-conscious about that, but a few months ago I signed up for a toddler swimming class with my son where I wound up being the only Dad, and suddenly I felt a bit exposed. I think the normalcy of walking around in nothing but a small pair of shorts kinda evaporated once I was the only man in the room.

Honestly, given how unpopular they are at this point, that might help him.

Great question, IT IS NOT! Only the NYC primaries and special elections are ranked choice, but the general elections are still first-past-the-post! So Cuomo and Adams will most certainly hurt each other if they both refuse to drop out!

Yeah, we started an unprovoked trade war with them, threatened to annex their country, and murdered one of their citizens in our Gestapo detention facilities. No wonder they’re being, “difficult.”

Honestly, I’m really liking how this race is shaping up. Adams is refusing to drop out because, well, he can’t; the second he loses power he stops being useful to the Trump administration, and then he’s vulnerable to prosecution. Cuomo is also staying in because he’s a narcissist, and Ackman is willing to throw money at anyone else who wants to run.

So that means the centrist shit-libs and conservative ghouls are splitting their vote between at least two, probably three candidates, while the progressive vote will go entirely to Mamdani. I’m still wary of DNC fuckery, but so far, so good.

It has a carve-out for medical masks, so get ready for ICE to abuse the shit out of that if it passes.

Yeah, I’m not happy about the Switch 2, but the amount of cope is unbelievable. I’ve seen multiple people claiming, “the Wii U sold out a launch too,” even though the Wii U sold worse than the Wii on opening weekend. The sales might still fall off a cliff in a month, but breaking the PS4’s record for launch sales is not a great sign.

They need to consider holding a new Chair election, because Martin sounded like whiney child in that audio.

That’s where I was gonna build the camps.

I want my son to grow up in a world with so much oversight and regulation that he takes government protections for granted and dismantles them for tax breaks. Is that so much to ask?

Found one for the camps!

Of course they’re not as burned out as us; they’re younger and haven’t been beaten down for as long. I’m sure they’ll get there in time, but we need to stop this intergenerational infighting and focus on what’s really important: putting everyone over 50 in camps and redistributing their wealth.

Yeah, but if Vegas ever starts taking odds on when these ghouls are gonna drop dead, or which ones are going to sell us out to the crypto industry, I’m gonna make a killing.

Agreed, bur let’s forget about her, and Dianne Feinstein, and Biden. Let’s ignore everything that happened before the inauguration and pretend we’re starting with a fresh slate. He’s the third House Democrat to drop dead since January. In five months, three Democrats have been assassinated by time.

Boy, I really don’t want to be disrespectful, but did I nail it or what?

So, I’m not a doctor, but it sounds like he’s showing early symptoms, he only has a 15% or living more than 5 years, and he’s more likely than not to die within the next year…I’m not trying to be cruel to the guy; cancer sucks and it’s awful he’s going through this. But given how narrow the Republican lead is in the House, it’s irresponsible to have him just stay in Congress at all, since he might miss crucial votes.

Not sure, though, how this ploy would work out for our fine fellows in South America and Canada, the ones currently belabored with being the closest neighbours…

Fuck Mexico, I guess.

Yeah, there have been a lot of attacks targeting AOC by faux-leftists accounts trying to sew discord. I’m not saying that’s you, but the discourse around H.R. 1449 was definitely part of that, so I definitely think you were exposed to some asroturfing on that, even if it was indirectly. In most ways, she has a stronger record on Palestinian rights than Bernie, who was slower to condemn Israel than many other progressives, and (to my knowledge) still hasn’t used the word, “genocide,” to describe what’s happening in Gaza. He’s still better than the vast majority of Democrats, but AOC has been an even stronger voice, and the attempt to smear her over one symbolic vote definitely seems like it was started by bad actors.

The problem with AIPAC isn’t just that it’s a powerful lobby, but that it’s one of several anti-progressive groups that the left has to contend with in Democratic primaries. Big tech companies (especially Alphabet) are huge spenders, as well as health insurance and big pharma, just to name a few. Fighting all the 150+ AIPAC- funded Democrats s would take a lot of time and energy, and probably won’t resonate as much with the average voter as something like health care would. I think the best strategy is to find the most vulnerable centrists and hammer them on all fronts. You’d probably have a better chance ousting someone like John Fetterman by pointing out that he’s taken money from the Pro-Israel lobby, Wall Street, the health care industry, and Google rather than fighting 17 Senate Democrats at once over AIPAC money.

The most important thing, though, is to defend progressives who are under attack from AIPAC. The next time someone like Cori Bush is targeted by AIPAC, people need to fund her, volunteer for her, and most importantly, refuse to allow the Israel lobby to equate condemning a genocide with antisemitism.
