"The DSA—the official organ—is forking nuts. So nuts that if you told me that the DSA was a false flag operation run by the Heritage Foundation in order to discredit the Democratic party, it would make sense."

Is the DSA a Republican Psy-Op?
If I told you the DSA was secretly run by Roger Stone to hurt Democrats it would make more sense than . . . this.

Doing some quick math on their self-reported 4% error rate in optimal conditions. If flock had nationwide coverage, there'd be at least 9.6m of the 242m american drivers having their plate read wrong. When you account for Roseville PD's 71%, that 9.6m jumps to 171.8m.
In one California town, Flock misread license plates in 71% of the time.
Out of a sample of 1,427 alerts that Flock sent to police in the town of Roseville, alerts that flagged vehicles as stolen or used in a felony after they passed one of the city's Flock cameras, 71% were inaccurate.

Listening to audiobooks is 'reading', it's not 'cheating'.
To think that absorbing information through your eyes carries more moral weight - or is somehow more character building - than through your ears is weird as f*ck.

Not a conspiracy. Not pattern matching. Mention a document that makes people look silly, and they will wipe years of documents and paid-for research to save face. Only some forward thinking to save a copy prevents oblvion.

The real little mermaid IS a queer story, Hans Christian Andersen was a gay man. He wrote it as an outlet because he was in love with his straight friend and couldn’t tell him, and watched him marry another woman. She doesn’t end up with him. She dies and becomes an angel for her sacrifices in life.

This piece ignores that the wealth of the economy's decision makers ultimately comes from labor that the rest of us provide. The economy probably looks great from that top down perspective

"but republicans will never vote for impeachment" is a sign you just don't understand this shit.
democrats need to fucking fight for what is right. what is right is removing a criminal corrupt president and his cronies.
if the gop wants to go on the record backing this, LET THEM. over and over.

everything I say is an artfully veiled sarcasm, a joke of such sophistication that anyone who falls into my meticulous trap of belief immediately reveals themselves a boorish rube of the highest caliber. whereas everything you say is an honest admission, a disgusting truth borne of an ugly soul

everything about Hasan clicks into place when you realize that everyone in politics/media is a lifelong nerd, while Hasan looks, to them, like a big strong scary jock who might shove them into the lockers of their youth
hasan makes an obvious joke and has generally good politics and the media is like we need to drown him to prove he's not a witch. meanwhile tucker carlson goes live and talks about how demons are real and one tried to eat him in his sleep once and the media is like he seems trustworthy

The sitting US president has more felonies than fingers and toes. I read this whole thing and it's fine? HP is the one steering the conversation towards connecting the overall anti-social sentiment to leftist literature, which I appreciate. Just read the whole thing and then get mad

The bastardization of unc is what you get when white kids see black culture as a minstrel show. It's not only a co-opting of language but a degradation thereof, since they've managed to turn it from an honorary to a pejorative.

This makes me wonder: what is the strangest recession indicator that you are sure of?
The most obscure thing that you're *sure* is a recession indicator, something which you don't hear basically anyone else mention?
