  1. Just so everyone's expectations are clear, this is the way it'll always play out Day of: wall to wall media coverage non-stop social media anecdotes and commentary from public figures all politicians extending thoughts, prayers, and offers of assistance Day after politicians on the scene, photo ops, press conferences making all kinds of promises wall to wall media coverage hundreds of different charities and GoFundMes up and running, donations pouring in Week after media coverage mixed with newer unrelated stories, in-depth stories from first responders and victims social media attention drops off charities still seeing support politicians continue with thoughts and prayers, but all commitments if any are made are vague and noncommittal Month after no more mainstream media, any media attention will come from partisan sources making a story of the government failing to honor its promises to help the affected people and communities social media will consist of people sharing the partisan stories donations will have slowed to a trickle politicians will stop talking about it, and when asked about it will have a canned response that in no way, shape, or form, helps anyone Thereafter no media at all basically no charity at all politicians will neither lift a finger nor spend a dime on rebuilding or helping any of the victims victims will try to speak out about how the safety net wasn't there when they needed it, and their stories will be ignored
  2. My favorite part about Mamdani's campaign is that it is based on building coalitions of voters, not politicians or blocs. He will have a massive base of supporters to mobilize (not unlike the base Trump built in 2016) to bully and intimidate the people who stand in the way of Mamdani delivering what he promised. This hasn't been seen from the Left since FDR (arguably LBJ). Mamdani has spent enough time in Albany to understand who the enemies will be and how to overcome them. I'm going to watch his first moves in office with great interest.
  3. sorry but the real emergency is the "invasion" of brown people, we need every available resource to support the gestapo
  4. They say those tolls are bitter and a bit salty, but full of protein
  5. I saw it in Axios I believe.
  6. Travis County presser ongoing
  7. Well that election is already over. The NYC mayoral election is still underway and Mamdani is the only candidate on the ballot with a problematic past.
  8. "Our 2nd and 3rd units got a lot of valuable playing time" [Editor's note: the final score was 65-13]
  9. 5 hour, 49 minutes, 50 second mark more or less
  10. Pretty sure it was uninhabited keys. Lighten up.
  11. If only Tom Arnold Schwarzenegger had access to the wisdom of 2020s thought leaders
  12. Pope Leo addressed this tragedy in his mass today They care much more about this than Sandy Hook because Sandy Hook was a secular public school. This was a private Christian camp.
  13. This is the movie where they nuke Florida if memory serves
  14. He selected a field that said "Black or African American" because he was born in and grew up in Africa. He also selected "Asian" because his parents are Indian. What is the scandal here? Are we going to chastise every white Moroccan and Egyptian who checked the same box? White Afrikaaners? The box did not say "Black AND African American" did it? So this is not even a nothingburger. It's not even a concept of a nothingburger. It's transparent favoritism from a right wing rag masquerading as liberal media.
  15. We are fucked.
  16. I've had enough of this jagoff
  17. Yes it's horrible to see this "factual information" suppressed by getting published in the most widely circulated newspaper in the nation.
  18. "Trump and Musk might have killed them, but it was an accident and better than Biden sending them to be trafficked by illegals and killed with fentanyl"
  19. To all of them who kicked the can, and every useless politician since then who could have fixed it and didn't:
  20. People want affordability. Nobody cared that he opposes Israel's genocide, and they won't care how he filled out an online form when he was 17
  21. Watching a livestream, and there's a comment "God sent the floods" That's a dipshit thing to say, and yet I'm certain people said that for Superstorm Sandy and again when people drowned in their basement apartments due to a similar tropical remnant torrent in 2021 (Hurricane Ida). Supposing you were the sort of person to believe that natural disasters were a sign of God's wrath, what message would God be sending and to whom?
  22. This is offensive. Stop. Do you have any idea how high Ted and Heidi are lifting them up in prayer? Still think they're doing nothing?
  23. Those taxes were bravely and patriotically diverted towards lining the pockets of megadonors securing the border with no-bid contracts badly needed private sector solutions to build concentration camps increased capacity to process people we must ethnically cleanse criminal illegal aliens because nothing is more important than the Replacement Theory Joe Biden opened the border for four years.
  24. the dark money focus groups are working overtime on the talking points. they will be unveiled on the sunday shows, and they're going to point the finger at the few civil servant climate scientists who weren't DOGE'd or bullied out yet.
  25. Kristi Noem didn't give a shit when it was happening (twice) to the RGV I'll tell you that much
