The United States of America's Government's official opening remarks for the 250th birthday of America included the word "libtard," and people are surprised that we haven't come together in unity to celebrate

I'm not running for office. But if I were, these are some of the lessons I'd take away from what happened in NY yesterday.

1. Authenticity is measurable. Voters can smell a focus group from a mile away.

2. Endorsements from the current Democratic leadership now read like warnings. The establishment wing of the party is no longer a sword. It's a question mark.

3. Conviction beats caution. The candidates who said hard things about rent, about who pays for what, about Gaza, they won. The triangulators lost.

4. Cost of living is everything. Everything else is wallpaper.

5. The middle is not a strategy. It's an empty room. Voters reached past the establishment to grab someone who actually believes something.

6. Don't fear the base. Court it. The Democrats who ran from their own voters lost. The ones who ran toward them won.

7. If you want to lead a party you have to be willing to fight inside it. Mamdani didn't ask permission. He took the field.

The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led.

we cannot look at housing or transportation in a vacuum. connecting them creates a flywheel effect where land value funds transit expansion

this was common sense a century ago, as subway lines were built in tandem with brand new neighborhoods. glad to see we’re bringing it back

on the other side of “inconvenience is the cost of community” is learning to be ok w being an inconvenience. i told a friend that i had an early flight + have been trying to figure out how to get to the airport for 3am w/o spending £60 on an uber + he said that he could drop me

Basically not interested in the opinions of anyone who doesn’t recognise Edmundo González as the legitimate leader of Venezuela. If your starting point on this is that Maduro is legitimate, sovereign or democratically elected, then you have no business commenting on the matter.

[Paul @WomanDefiner]

Capitalism has mainly become siphoning as much money from the margins as possible. They are nickel and diming people to death to bring profits to shareholders no matter how much damage it causes to everyone around them.

It needs to be curtailed. Companies even have their own tax system in fees.

There needs to be some civic responsibility beyond shareholder profit.

New York/L.A. limited movie releases are funny because on one coast, a highly touted work of global cinema by a major auteur will be playing only at the Angelika (TV screen at the end of a long hallway on top of a subway line) and on the other, it’ll be only at an AMC at a mall

⚡️This email is one of the most quietly revealing artifacts of the entire post-2008 era.

Peter Thiel isn’t predicting socialism here. He’s diagnosing the terminal logic of late capitalism: when ownership becomes inaccessible, belief in the system dissolves.

He’s mapping structural inevitability.

The key insight is in that last line:

“If one has no stake in the capitalist system, then one may well turn against it.”

Every economic order survives only as long as its participants believe they have a stake in its rewards. When that belief breaks, when capital accumulation is delayed beyond a generation, the feedback loop collapses.

In plain terms:
•Boomers owned.
•Gen X still managed to buy in.
•Millennials rent the world their parents own, and Gen Z is now locked out entirely.

The result isn’t ideological socialism. It’s resentful capitalism - a system where people still chase wealth but no longer trust the architecture that allocates it. That’s the precursor to all great systemic transitions - Rome, Weimar, post-Soviet Russia, even 18th-century France.

Thiel’s email is almost tragic in tone because he’s speaking to the very class - Zuckerberg, Andreessen, Sandberg - who became the gatekeepers of the new digital feudalism. They turned “ownership” into platform access, and “opportunity” into subscription. The economy was financialized, then digitized, then moralized - and in each step, capital got lighter, faster, and further removed from the people whose lives depend on it.

What he’s really saying is this:

Capitalism doesn’t fail when the rich get richer.

It fails when the poor stop believing they can join them.

That’s the pivot we’re living through right now. The “Millennial socialism” he mentions is the immune response of a generation whose time horizon was stolen.

The irony is that Thiel, the ultimate capitalist contrarian, saw it first.

And he was right.

The generation that couldn’t buy the system will end up rewriting it.

🚨NEW: Jon Stewart:

"I’ve got people in my family that are to the right of Attila the Hun. And when people tell me, like, 'How can you platform that person on your show?' I go, 'I platform my uncle every f*cking Thanksgiving.'"

"And by the way, I love him. He’s a three-dimensional human being who has qualities that I really admire — things about him."

"And we’ve lost that. We’ve lost the ability to love people because we litmus test at every point, in every single moment."

I’m so sorry but if you believe in letting people die in emergency rooms because they don’t have proper worldly documentation it’s an affront to God.
