  1. For the most part, sure. But that doesn’t matter, does it?
  2. I think you missed the context here, so let’s move on.
  3. They do that anyway. What I’m referring to is the charge that “Democrats are celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death on social media.” It’s not 100% false, as much as I wish it were. There are some people celebrating, and they are getting a lot of attention, and because there are, Republicans will believe that Democrats, broadly speaking, were happy about the assassination of Charlie Kirk, that’s just where we are. But it’s not because of some label or purely propaganda.
  4. I get the distinction, but I’m talking about real people, celebrating. And I agree there’s not a lot of it but the algorithms are boosting it. A local activist in Dallas I grew up with was like “rest in piss.” Really embarrassing Agree, that this is most of what actual Democrats are doing. But that’s the thing- Republicans and MAGA types don’t make any distinction between the knucklehead fringe of the online left and “Democrats.”
  5. A text to my daughter. She sent me something from IG about Charlie Kirk saying gun deaths were “worth it”, and how he had opposed gun regulation etc. what I posted here was my response to her.
  6. You are incorrect, there are in fact lot of progressive-aligned idiots celebrating on social media, particularly Twitter. That doesn’t say anything about Democrats at large and represents tiny numbers, but he’s right that it’s happening.
  7. So…I feel like political assassination and terrorism, particularly if it winds up being the justification for an authoritarian crackdown or more organized political thuggery, goes well beyond the scope of either the gun control discourse or FAFO territory. I guess it’s ironic that he said it was “worth it”, and there’s certainly dark humor in the fact that he was shot under a sign that said “prove me wrong”, but none of this shit is going to be funny and nobody is going to care about memes or social media dunks when the tanks roll. I’m very worried about the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. It’s not the Reichstag fire, but it certainly takes us a step or two closer to the endgame.
  8. Especially the ones who aren’t actually disabled. Or Vets.
  9. Off topic, it does anybody remember the Shoal Creek Groper back in the 90’s? for several years women jogging on shoal creek were getting groped on the trail and the dude ended up raping a couple of women. IIRC they never caught anybody.

  11. It’s pretty safe at night too. It was 10X more dangerous 30 years ago.
  12. Reagan didn’t act like that, but Trump is very continuous with Reagan. Im not sure if you were one of the Reagan Republicans who believed in all that nonsense and are still trying to rationalize your support, but there’s a straight line between the two. Reagan was just far more palatable and his administration was held much more in check by congress, which in those days was elected in mostly competitive districts by communities of interest.* or “communities of interest,” as @Ag with kids likes to call real places and people with things in common, as opposed to preordained partisan outcomes.
  13. Ok but 1) Reagan was fucking terrible in multiple ways, some of which he shares with Trump, like magical thinking about the debt and 2) Bush II was even worse, because not only did he destroy our last best chance at fiscal sanity he put us on an irreversible course towards the end of empire by getting us into our own version(s) of of the Boer War. Trump is a worse human being and more brazenly corrupt and abusifr of the powers of his office. But I’m not going to pretend there were good old days when the GOP meant what it said about fiscal discipline or good government, because except for a short break from 99-92, they have been at this since 1980.
  14. I don’t love Mamdani but that shit is hilarious. 5/5
  15. Does he think of all the education that he missed?
  16. This will never not be a great album
  17. It’s awful, but Shanty Micks from the racetrack are only “white people” on a technicality

  19. My favorite Wendy Davis story is how her team was pitching a movie to some producers where the big victorious finale would be her filibustering the abortion bill until the session ran out of time, and the filmmakers were like, “uh… but didn’t they just pass that bill like 2 weeks later?”
  20. I remember we talked about this around 2012 when I was piloting my SaaS startup into the side of Bootstrap Mountain. When you described it I said something about how much more fun your company was than mine, and you basically responded that it was destroying your life.
  21. I get it, I’m just saying 340 is nothing to sneeze at.
