Thump and Mamdani posed infront of FDR's painting in the White House with a thumbs up and Trump is the one who released it as a personal win? Did someone lock Stephen Miller in a closet for the whole visit?

Somewhere, Elise Stefanik and her team are watching Trump set fire to their entire strategy to centre their gubernatorial campaign around opposition to Mamdani as the ultimate form of evil in America.

Mamdani comes off as very smart, very agile, and clearly knew what buttons to push with Trump, likely flattering his supposed 'NYC developer' skills. Doesn't give and inch or kowtow at all, but doesn't take any of the bait during an embarrassing show from the press corps.

Big fur babies

We used to think putting a heavy metal tape into a Teddy Ruxpin was subversive.

I'm not surprised at this outcome. I'm more surprised how tone deaf the GOP Senators were thinking the House would just swallow a seven figure payout without a peep.

This is a scene from John Carpenter's 'The Thing'.

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

I cannot imagine anything more hellish than not being willing to accept the death of a loved one so much that you curse your child to bond with a simulacrum that at any moment could get twisted and encourage them towards self-harm or expose them to explicit content.

Somehow I doubt 'hey, it wasn't like she was in elementary school' is the strong argument they think they're making.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

You know, watching the richest man in the world scurry about and try to build a list of favourite movies and books he certainly hasn't read or watch because he got torched by an author he certainly has never heard of is an astonishing thing. Made worse by errors he makes about his 'favourite' works.

I feel bad for Kevin M Kruse because he's dealing with a flood of people who believe that walking away from the Democrats and forming a new progressive party is the key to victory in 2026 as opposed to reforming the Democrats. It's part of the basic mistake so many on the left have.

I more measured take from a very smart observer of Congress. While Democrats folding (and doing so in a very public manner) is bad, there were some wins and now it is in the hands of the House and Trump, both of which are arrogant and stupid enough to potentially tank the deal.

It's a real shame that Democrats took a massive win on Election Day as a sign to fold for some magic beans. What a ridiculous party and how crushing this must be for Americans, because Trump is now emboldened and he will got hog wild. Next week they'll announce his $260M payout because why not?

Caving now will teach Trump and Republicans that they can win any fight simply by threatening to cause terrible harm to regular people. no possible way that could have future adverse consequences

I need you all to know that my mother sent me this. 🤣 That is all.

It's an empty threat but can you imagine if?

Most New Yorkers would be happy if these miserable people leave over their pants wetting terror conjoured by the word 'socialist' and then take over their vacated apartments.

The article doesn't point out two keys factors especially in play in the US. First, is that the overwhelming increases in cost of living are entirely due to defacto monopolies controlling the costs of housing, food, and utilities, driving up rates for maximum profitability while suppressing wages.

I LOVE this

The stupidest thing about this is that many Democrats are falling for the bullshit framing that trans athletes are somehow cheating and that is the motivation for their trans-identity. Considering the level of hate, abuse, and peer pressure they face, no teen identifies trans to win a track meet.

If you're, like, a 7-year-old Canadian kid who likes baseball, is tomorrow the best day of your life?? - go trick or treating - eat all that free candy while watching the Toronto Blue Jays maybe win the World Series - also it's Friday

Masterpiece

Damn. Hell of a performance by Yamamoto.

His entire argument is based on this. A. He believes women represent 5-10% of ST viewers because women don't like sci-fi (he cites no evidence or studies) B. He cites an actual study that shows young men and women are strongly diverging left and right at different rates.

oh right, by popular demand here's the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ali2...

The paranoia of the left sometimes gets squirrelly. There was the whole 'DC rigged the primary for Clinton' meltdown when in actuality, he simply didn't have the popular support for the nomination. Now Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo is being pushed as somehow those same DC types are back.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

About damn time.

I didn’t make it, but had to share 😂

While there's been lots of bad luck, the reality is that the Seattle Mariners have looked like the better team on both sides of the ball since Game One.

I'd just like to dig into this a little bit since I work in the industry and I can tell you, without the slightest hesitation, that the results of this study are a sham. Not because the answers are wrong or the intent isn't there, but because companies do not follow the principles they claim to.

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

You were my brother, Anakin!

...not happening. Damn.

Ending this on a K for Judge would be...

If the Jays hold this, the whole 'takes a village' concept will be utterly cemented. A bullpen game holding the Yankees to a 2 hitter so far is insane.

A really important post about this soybean bailout and how it's just pouring good money into a lost industry.

The world burns down around us but at least I have Jays playoff baseball for (hopefully) a few weeks as a distraction.

To be honest, this might be for the best or worst. When EA collapses under the weight of that impossible to serve debt, if it has to sell off its IPs. Some of them are legacy enough to turn studios into mid-range AAA publishers like the ones that EA gobbled up in the first place.

It is truly amazing how 1970s NYC is calcified in the minds of Conservatives. The biggest challenge my wife and I faced in Greenwich Village was remembering to bring proper ID so we could order booze at brunch, and this pants-wetter looked at every upscale boutique and paper store like an IED.

Every time the whole Rapture thing comes up I immediately think of Heinlein's JOB, and the idea that RHIP is the defining rule in Heaven and angels are kinda assholes.

He's what

I love this observation, but maybe it just means I'm old.

That game as a baseball fan when you start looking for something else to do...

Japan has a wrestling camp for kids where at the end they have a show match in front of their parents to show off what they learned. Thought you'd enjoy this.

I think we need to bring back the early 80s genre of comedy film that involved rich people ruining people's lives out of boredom or because of moronic bets, and later being fucked up by the people they screwed over because they didn't view them as people.
