‘Ouch’ is a one-word sentence which a man may volunteer from time to time by way of laconic comment on the passing show.

[Kill Tim Faust 💀 @crulge]

ME: His name was Sean Moorhead. He knew Japanese and had an anime avatar but he was one of the good ones. [sadly] He logged off after he threatened John Ganz
TIFFANY, MY NEW CHINESE GIRLFRIEND: I'm sorry to hear that. Your LinkedIn profile said you worked at Anthropic?

It’s so cool that Jensen managed to find a way to betray his family, company, and country in one fell swoop. Even Trump has only managed to do these separately.

@areyousurebruv Come here…

mr president sir i baptize you in the name of bari weiss, and of the singularity, and of adolf hitler. amen. im the reverend ross douthat for cbs news.

[Leah Libresco Sargeant @LeahLibresco]

If you just want to see the moment when Ross Douthat earnestly tried to save Trump’s soul, here you go.

There's this mythology that develops like a game of telephone where:

-The American voter is demanding socialism, which has something to do with democratic control of companies maybe
-To show how socialist they are, they stay home or vote for Trump over Dems
-The Dems don't build socialism while they're in power
-People get mad and turn to the far right as a result

Basically none of these make sense or actually hold, but it's a popular story that makes you feel virtuous and deserving of power so it catches fire and more people say it without actually being able to justify it at all

I almost completely forgot that Matt Yglesias and the Abundance liberals had a big “whatever you do, don’t challenge Trump on Immigration because everyone loves what he’s doing” conference in 2024

It doesn’t count because it’s for people with degrees and women (increasingly the same category) rather than the blubbering slob oafs who say this shit.

[Dominic Pino @DominicJPino]

The "we don't make things anymore" crowd starts with the premise that the things the US is really good at doing – software, oil and gas, finance, venture capital, higher ed, logistics, retail, pharma, media, defense, food, tourism, aerospace – don't count.

It's unfalsifiable.

It’s so cool that you can pay a monthly fee for a badge that indicates you’re a spineless buffoon

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

Hakeem Jeffries has gotten donations from big companies and that’s how you know “the Democrats” are existentially evil. Sent from my account on the Nazi pornography website I pay a trillionaire for monthly.

[James Rehwald @JamesRehwald]

When you defeat fascism & imperialism by voting every two years

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

I think if you post this shit on here with a bluecheck the odds you are being paid by the GOP is probably about 90% or more.

[Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries]

Stephen Miller is a dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist who has American blood on his hands.

His presence in government should be eradicated like a malignant tumor.

Fire him today.

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

@MetaReflexive @CatholicClod I don’t think those things are the case, nor that the Democrats should really be considered a “party.” However, even if they were, it would still be true that the popular front argument won’t hold any water when the openly fascist party is demonstrably out of power.

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

@CatholicClod Okay. What I’ve seen is you and noted moron Henry Wallis and various loonie tunes on Bluesky denouncing, like, Sam Adler-Bell.

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

@CatholicClod 1. It *is* automatically our gain, because fascism is not good for the left.

2. Can you point to a clear example of anyone taking the position that the left’s specific faction within the Democratic party is automatically going to win now?

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

@CatholicClod [d-day happens] Why are you happy about this? Don’t you know that there’s forced labor under Western capitalism too?

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

@CatholicClod Let me put it more punchily: If you want to be able to dismiss arguments about the “popular front,” nothing could be better than Democrats taking power. Policing whether people celebrate this happening or just get mad about D-D-Democrats seems like textbook cult behavior.

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

@CatholicClod I hear you, but this is a good example of what I’m referring to as depression. People are celebrating because new possibilities have arrived and fascism is in trouble. This seems more like treating depression as the only seriousness than a meaningful analytical tool.

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

@CatholicClod The alternative position as far as I can tell is “I spend all my time in group chats with depressed anarchists and I think the Democrats are something existentially evil”

[karl rove knausgard @uhactually2]

@CatholicClod To me this is a good reason to think it will happen
