- and I *did* check
- I'm not gonna pretend there wasn't a split second thought of, "okay but what if something comes up?"

- Reposted by Jake ChristieSomewhat ironically, this is a problem that both some leftist and populist-rightist movements share: their ideology *requires* them to believe that they are the authentic voice of The People and so they are ideologically constrained from recognizing that their ideas are not, in fact, popular.
- Reposted by Jake ChristiePeople keep saying Bezos wrecked the Post on purpose but he could have just done that if he wanted to, no need to drag it out for years. I think he and his fellow traveler billionaires have thoroughly cooked their worldview and honestly believe there is a vast, silent, ignored right wing audience
- In hindsight, I should’ve saved this tweet for when I got Jamelle on the show. youtu.be/nLvF8sG1RNs?...

- I’ve said it before, but while there are obviously lots of reasons to post on the internet anonymously, I’m very glad I’ve always posted under my real name because it’s forced me to always talk like a normal person
- Reposted by Jake Christiecontinue to think that if instead of "raw milk" we called it "doodoo milk" people would understand the risk proposition
- This is bonkers. MAHA 'farmers' with ecoli tainted raw milk admit they really don't know how to make the stuff after all. "Producing raw milk takes careful planning from a facility and infrastructure standpoint. Unfortunately, we learned this after the fact." people.com/ballerina-fa...
- Reposted by Jake ChristieI keep seeing people say “this seems like AI!” About writing in episodes of shows currently airing and I really need them to stop. No it isn’t, you look like an idiot, and if you’re wrong, that is a massive, massive insult to someone who spends their life sweating words.

- Reposted by Jake Christiethe whole point of technology is to subvert "the natural order," because the natural order is disease and decay and suffering and famine
- Reposted by Jake Christietransgenderism *is* transhumanism eyeglasses *are* a perversion of the natural order appeal to nature fallacies are dumb, stop letting "tech bros" negatively polarize you against genuinely good and cool things
- 3 Doors Down were busy?
- Reposted by Jake ChristieWhat, there wasn’t a complete and total cultural realignment towards sadism and fascism? Really???? I was assured there was!
- Reposted by Jake ChristieOne of the big problems of modernity is that posting is instantaneous and politics very much isn’t and instead of working on their patience people fall into despair when things don’t happen as fast as they think it should
- don’t make me believe in Blexas again. that’s just cruel
- It looks like the Republicans are conceding Texas's #SD09 to the Democrats. They're conceding a Trump+17 district in an area of Fort Worth that's been favorable to Republicans for decades, just a massive massive loss for them.
- the thing is, you basically can’t make a fake Epstein email as a joke because there’s almost no one I wouldn’t believe emailed with him again this point
- Reposted by Jake ChristieIt's crazy that if you have the first principle "human ethnic groups, physical differences aside, are not different in terms of mental capacity or 'inherent' personality traits" you are woker than 90% of the people who work for supposedly liberal media organizations.
- Reposted by Jake ChristieThe inability to parse the difference between malice and annoyingness is probably the great deficit of our times. See also: basically any discourse about "wokeness" and/or campus activism
- Reposted by Jake ChristieThat is the most Gender thing I’ve ever seen. I didn’t even know it was possible to engage in misogyny against men.
- Reposted by Jake ChristiePeople will talk "a ratchet that only goes right" to me like I didn't see the support for my existence as a bisexual trans woman become a mainstream liberal position in my lifetime
- I’ve seen a bunch of people say “It doesn’t matter that MELANIA is gonna be a bomb: it was a bribe. It doesn’t have to make money,” and while it’s true that it was a bribe, that doesn’t mean some involved won’t be humiliated by it bombing.
- I say “some” because I’m sure Bezos knew it was gonna bomb the whole time, but I’m positive Trump thinks it’s gonna be a big hit.
- Reposted by Jake ChristieThis is right. The White House keeps looking for the “Kneel Before Zod” button — and seems completely shut off to evidence that there isn’t one.
- Reposted by Jake ChristieIt's not going to stop if you ignore it it's not going to stop if you look the other way it's not going to stop if you stay silent
- Reposted by Jake ChristieIt's not going to stop
- sometimes childhood memories will pop up for me where I think “Oh my holy lord how was I not diagnosed with OCD back then?” this morning’s is when I lost my mind when Easter egg dye stained my fingers and I made my mom try to scrub it off with Comet
- yeah, the only way that the government won’t have you on a list somewhere is if you never say anything negative about them and participate in no political action. so if you’re not willing to just lay down, you gotta accept that that’s the risk, but that risk can be diluted!
- people shouldn’t be trying to be arrested, and taking reasonable steps to avoid it is good, but if you don’t have dependents at home and you’re in good health, I feel like you gotta make peace that you might get arrested for not committing a crime. and that that would be worth it if it came to it
- Reposted by Jake ChristieIf you are planning to be involved in political action of any type, they have your name. The thing to do is make their lists useless by having so many names on them.
- I am pretty desensitized to the Internet but this still got a ⬇️ out of me
- I really wish the word “cooked” didn’t also refer to food because I would like to mute it on all social media sites
- Maybe I just have a more severe definition of the word “cooked.” Because there is no scenario where I would say “we’re cooked” that I would, uh, still want to be alive in.
- Like, if I’m posting “we’re cooked” in earnest, I am doing so in a running car in a shut garage* *this is figurative, I own neither a car nor a garage
- Which is to say that saying “we’re cooked” is tantamount to giving up and I have no patience for that
- I love Tim Blake Nelson, but *this* guy should have been The Leader

- Yup. And honestly, you can take the word “civic” out of this and it’s still true.
- reading past the headline, I really like how this article captures something I’ve felt: the edgy leftist “just buy a gun 😉” response to today’s issues is a fundamentally individualistic and conservative one
- 41% of Republicans being okay with outright murder as long as the victim is a liberal is honestly lower than I would have thought
- people mistake someone adopting certain aesthetics with having certain politics and it’s gotta stop
- Reposted by Jake ChristieICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained. Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk
- Reposted by Jake ChristieMy kid finding out that Nickelodeon named Mitch Trubisky NVP in week 18
- Reposted by Jake ChristieI'm sure people will make me regret this but we dont need to let american institutions like ICE off the hook for their behavior. They didnt need to learn from Israel (or any other country) to act the way theyre acting. Im not saying ignore the connections but lets just pump the brakes a little
- Reposted by Jake ChristieExcellent by Adam Serwer. I’d add: How many pseudo-deep commentators, typically MAGA-excusing, go on about liberalism’s lack of community, character, and moral virtue? Then MN features a truly striking demonstration of just these qualities by modern liberals. Reaction: crickets.
- Reposted by Jake ChristieI think the issue is it forces them to confront the fact that voting does work but they suck at convincing people. I've spoken to Leftists that think Mamdani won because he FOUGHT the Democrats in the primary and not worked with them.
