anyway let's talk about something else, one of the things i want to do on the site is compile playlists made of bands from different cities — i can filter and browse by location, but if your city has a good underground/independent music scene, sound off about where and who i should look for
@euronews: 🇪🇸 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez seems pleased with the French (and UK) election results.
"There is no agreement or government with the extreme right," he said in a post on X. https://t.co/1BamVU5jTf
If you don't understand that Biden and Harris are the horizon of possibilities with the constraint of "stomping fascists until they're crimson puddles in the booth to minimize the amount of stomping in the streets we have to do", you're either aiding the fascists or useless.
There's room inside the window about the best strategy being keeping Biden in or passing the torch to Harris (I think the former's best but am willing to entertain the latter), but no further.
If you cannot bring yourself to vote for Biden to keep a fascist out of the highest office in the land even if he's literally being Weekend and Bernie'd by his staff, you *actually* just want to go back to brunch. That simple.
Here's what I know about Biden having Parkinsons- he isn't in a chair drooling, but even if he was every person in this country has a moral obligation to vote for him, Harris, or a dead fucking dog over Trump and I'm tired of pretending this is more complex.
my kid always has to have the last word and I am constantly saying "not every single thought in your head needs to be said out loud" and I think a lot of people on this website could benefit from this advice
Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.
Idk, maybe listening to folks who said we shouldn’t support people who defend Assad or dismiss women in pink hats out of hand instead of viciously attacking them as tools of imperialism or centrists is instructive here

Good God this is an uninformed take. Biden hasn't been great on all of these policies but to claim that he is "batting zero" on reproductive rights, gun control, infrastructure or antitrust requires willful ignorance and self-deception.
Despite the debate performance, Biden continues to gain ground in swing states as we get closer to the election, which is exactly what you’d expect to happen
If the (highly legitimate)question is “do we want a president with a functional brain” then let’s have that debate. we might want to apply scrutiny to both candidate equally, and not grade one in particular on a MASSIVE curve
I mean, I know this is useless to say almost but if Biden were retweeting right now a meme grown out of a violent conspiracy theory movement that says Republicans and Hollywood are running a satanic pedophile cult, he’d be immediately forced out but it’s Trump so media & politicos are all 🤷♂️
I do not care who fucked up last year. I don’t care what other people did or didn’t do in this fight.
Is Trump an existential threat who must be stopped? Good let’s stop making it less likely through internecine knife fights.
If you don’t think he is? I’m glad you have that luxury I guess.
My mom (who is Biden's age) sent panicked texts during the debate and is now sending texts about Stephanopoulos being a jerk who only asked about Biden's age and nothing of substance.
Whatever the actual outcome is, you people currently running around pissing your britches ought to feel ashamed of yourselves. And if you get your way and we then lose, you should feel a deep, burning shame until the last moment you draw breath, which I hope will be a long, long time from now.
For those who will accuse me of only saying this because I hate Kamala or something: if Biden should decide to step down Kamala Harris is his only replacement and I will champion her with my whole chest.
6/6. . . most likely to beat the fascists, EVEN IF there is another candidate who comes closer to my ideological preferences.
I hope that you will join me in SOLIDARITY.
Happy Independence Day.

OK so while we argue on this site about who should replace Biden Twitter is burning up with WHY DOESNT THE MEDIA COVER TRUMP SEXUALLY ASSAULTING CHILDREN WITH EPSTEIN we really need to stop the discourse on here being so completely led by a handful of white elite dipshits in ac offices
Not that anyone is asking me, but I have no idea what the Democrats should do right now. All the options seem bad, and there isn’t one that seems less bad than the others. And as a professional opinion-haver, it’s disorienting to have no strong opinion about something so enormously consequential.
Hello, bsky followers of my dad! (this is Madison; you might occasionally see me being snarky in his replies.) Today is his birthday, and he loves validation, so in honor of that, please list your favorite of the ten-or-so sayings he repeats in conversation. I think he’ll appreciate it!
You can be critical of the way the Biden team is handling this and still support him in November if he decides to run, this is how grown-ups who aren’t in a personality cult operate
