How do I get in to the leftovers feed? Do I have to #leftovers it? Cause this right here is absolute bliss

Imagine you were in bad shape financially and needed some sorta lifeline... For Jeff Turner his best idea was: should I start counterfeiting money with Bible paper? That's how he became the King of Counterfeiters. But it's also how Jeff ended up on this show! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

a nice reminder of one of the more absurd elements of trump v. u.s., which is roberts’ apparent belief that the constitution was written to remove limits on executive power prospect.org/2025/11/21/r...

Probably right that we raiders fans will be sitting through a similar season at this point in 20206

In re: this asanine, me me me dissent:

FOLLOW THEIR LEAD @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social!

Solange Knowles’ Saint Heron has launched a free digital archival library of literature by Black and brown authors, poets, and artists. Readers can borrow rare and out-of-print books for up to 45 days

Good.

NANCY & SLUGGO’S FUN FRIDAY

TreyVeon Henderson are you my editor bc you’re making some nasty cuts out there

#StickOfTheWeek Xylaria hypoxylon & a single Mycena.

Kicking off a Tiny Desk concert with "This is Hardcore" is definitely a fucking choice. www.npr.org/2025/11/13/g...

British menus love to talk about "lashings" of ingredients, as if it's a unit of measure. I have to admit it sounds somehow luxurious and decadent. Is the equivalent "fuckload"/"absurd amount"?

This feels like a Friday's worth of news. Are there dumps happening under all this?

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

This shit is racist. This administration is extremely racist.

This is really telling! It doesn't work like that anymore, bud. None of it works like that — even if it did on Jan. 19.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

We’re in a battle with a fascist government and the fascist amoral self-serving high level funders of the democrats

Dem ayes so far: Hassan, Shaheen, Durbin, Kaine, CCM, King, Rosen GOP nos: Paul One more D needed for 60 and Fetterman will be it.

Collins, we don’t want to hear it from you either

Grassley up here grandstanding during the vote is in really poor taste

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

The Dem leadership is all going to vote no because they are trying to "keep their hands clean." We told you how ridiculous this was yesterday. prospect.org/2025/11/08/w...

The Dems who are caving are doing so not because their base wants them to, not because the voters want them to, and not because SNAP recipients want them to. They are caving because their DONORS want them to. And that’s really all that ever matters to the establishment.

Did Cory Booker just vote aye?

He has used rescissions to take the power of the purse away already. He has undone congressional oversight in every area. Why are you making a deal with him, let alone such a weak deal?

If Schumer votes AGAINST this but enough Ds vote FOR it that it passes, he needs to RESIGN immediately. He will have shown himself to be absolutely ineffective as a minority leader. He has to go. Literally resign tonight.

Because you got the votes tou wanted from other people, just like the CR cloture vote you ghoul

Fuck this, frankly

Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma cheerfully support fascism and allow the president to lie to a national audience on their air

If a judge orders you to release funds for hungry children and you continue to fight it, it’s time to take a step back and re-evaluate how you got there. No political leverage is worth corrupting your soul.

Right after he tackles health care

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Why doesn’t this say defying a court ruling?

Also this kind of poll result is historically bullshit. A lot brash talk

Huge. Throw the bums out!

Fish in the percolator

Who up votin’ they public service commission out?

Rabbit, rabbit

Great thread on union history in the US. Shoutout to Lawrence, MA, still home of New Balance factories making (at last I checked) 25% of their shoe inventory.

the reason old CRT TVs had so many vents in the back was because it let you smell what was going onscreen at the time. basically no one properly programed their broadcasts or movies though so it was always just the default smell (old burnt dust)

Logging on to bluesky this morning

Nobody remembers the cautionary tale of when Kryptonite did this about a blog post years ago…

The following is a statement from the Writers Guild of America East and Writers Guild of America West: “Merger after merger in the media industry has harmed workers, diminished competition and free speech, and wasted hundreds of billions of dollars better invested in organic growth…
