Liberal democracy remains a towering achievement of humanity and it is worth fighting for.

The long-serving strongman leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in an election that pitted him and his right-wing party against a diverse student-led opposition movement that spent two years protesting his government.

I have a theory that all "Great Men" of history can be sorted into either "and the device shows me boobs?" or "the moon in the fucking sky?" Lenin, Trotsky, Adam Smith, and George Washington are all "went to the moon?" Ben Franklin, Hamilton, Socrates, and Bakunin are instances of "shows me boobs?"

how all of these conversations would actually go

Star Trek! I’d immediately greenlight more seasons of Star Trek Academy and also that Captain Seven of Nine show teased at the end of Picard.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

Another reason why the current wave of Left antisemitism hurts so much is that we just spent the past 20 yrs with DEI, antiracism, intersectionality, microaggressions, minority/indigenous/immigrant rights, etc. except now we see that NONE of that applies when it comes to the rights of Jews.

One of the reasons the Green Party motion hit so hard is because it confirmed something for Jewish ppl like myself that until now was mainly experienced in our personal lives, namely, many progressive friends going down anti-Zionist propaganda rabbit holes

As a Jew I think what the Greens have done is appalling. As a political commentator I think Andy Burnham is a lucky man.

Schmitt: And you, Mr. Hendrix, are yourself a homosexual? Jimi: Well… I’m sorry, what? Schmitt: Because we have the song here. The lyrics are on the card here. You excuse yourself, TO KISS A GUY.

Bibi is not responsible for an antisemite shooting up Toronto synagogues. An antisemite bought the gun, loaded it, carried it, aimed it, and fired. At no point in that series of events does Bibi have agency. You can hate the guy for his hateful acts without shifting blame from other hateful people.

Personally, I blame Nentenyahu and the far right for this - there has always been antisemitism, but bc of the response to Oct 7th and the annihilation of Gaza, there is another layer of hatred against Jews today, even though most Jews dont support the war at this point.

There are no human moments in this cursed WH. No pets. No child climbing into a lap. No dancing, teasing, silliness. No tender husband and wife moments. No pictures of a family simply enjoying one another. No spontaneous laughter. No tenderness. No love. This is a WH with no heart.

Two windmills are standing in a wind farm. One asks, "What’s your favorite kind of music?" The other says, "I’m a big metal fan."

Replying to @apparatchikwannabe.bsky.social

the structure of the coalition contains, basically, 4 groups, of which two are “insane wrecker centrists” and “insane wrecker leftists”, and the other two are “sincere, principled liberals” and “sincere, principled socialists”, and the only way to victory is to fight both that left and right fringe

Very funny that the only American institution left that has the wherewithal to enforce basic laws against billionaires is the National Basketball Association
