This is how you felt about Democrats three years ago
The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA.

If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

There's funnier tweets out there but the perfect buildup to the last minute ridiculous swerve into complete pointlessness is so perfectly my sense of humor that it's nearly supplanted the actual lyrics to this song in my head

As President Trump prepares to deliver his State of the Union address, he gave a little glimpse on Monday of what to expect. “It’s going to be a long speech,” he said, “because we have so much to talk about.” nyti.ms/4qWNrEZ

I think some people understand the world as a series of systems that mesh together in ways that make everything better or worse, and other people understand the world as a big stage for them to perform on

Doing an OJ used to mean running through the airport to catch your flight.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

47. As Amory Lovins has said for years, no one wants a lump of coal, or a barrel of oil. All we want is a hot shower and a cold beer. And if we can get that heat and light and chilling without paying for (or burning) fuel, we're all happier... with one notable exception.

‘Buddo’ - a rare representation of a human figure from the British Neolithic, dating to around 2900-2400 BC. Discovered at Skara Brae in the mid-C19th, it was re-discovered amongst the archaeological collections at Stromness Museum in 2016. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Archaeology

most people do not establish and maintain online identities

This reminds me of Cardinal John Henry Newman's book Definition of a Gentleman. I often cite Newman's book because it's so instructive. The term gentleman is so overwrought and frequently abused, but to the degree it means anything at all, I think Newman captures it here:

HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING:

-the public has beliefs about the world

-history tells us those beliefs can be anything, from mundane to horrific, from rational to deranged

-those beliefs are mostly formed by people talking to each other a lot and deciding what feels right based on what they hear

Actually, seeing a man of color, getting scared, and calling The Police, is pretty typical racist behavior

This all feels so right on the fuckin money and I say it tracks for pulp fiction and reservoir dogs too
tarantino films are inert,safe,as long as you believe they are set in their specific time periods and nowhere else

the same is true of star wars,if you think that the galaxy far far away is merely a fairy tale

but if you think there’s a big shared story made up of symbols,they become live rhetoric
