instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Took in a matinee of Predator: Badlands yesterday. It’s the most 21st Century film yet. Succeeded in both utilizing and reinvigorating Predator tropes and just delivered. Good dumb fun that doesn’t make you feel dumb for watching it.

Me: Trying to teach my kids about win-win options, the need to avoid zero-sum traps and wisdom to see the difference. Congress: Currently experimenting with not just negative sum outcomes, but multiplicative and exponentially negative outcomes. Loses designed to set us back decades.

Tappin' the sign, sadly.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Road my bike 52 miles today, a bit worn out but satisfied with both the exertion and the journey. Last six weeks have been a grind, so getting outside and finding some joy was necessary and wonderful.

Great profile of Roddy Bottum by the Chick Master: www.theguardian.com/music/2025/n...

Understanding the right is good, this essay goes places, might not resolve because he knows he’s cookin’ but is worthwhile to understand.

30 year mortgages are probably terrible idea. 50 year mortgages are DEFINITELY a terrible idea.

All I can think about is Queen Elizabeth II’s apocryphal last words

“We have exited normal politics. We are no longer here to have a debate about the importance of the top marginal tax rate. We are here to save our republic.” www.liberalcurrents.com/fight-on-eve...

Although we're not where we should be, we're on a significantly better trajectory than we were 10 years ago.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

It would probably be cursed to have more people play factorio, but the game does a pretty good job of laying out the pitfalls and promise of carbon, nuclear and solar energy in play. Just imagine the bugs are climate risks and you begin to understand quickly.

youtu.be/5A4E0rcJ7fE?... Been exposing my kids to real American ideology and identity. Neal Diamond gets it.

Posting this for no reason.

the lyricist Julia Ward Howe was def metal af lolol.

How does a Trillion Dollar compensation package even make any sense? Anyways, great day to short Tesla into oblivion.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This is just winning. So damned good.

Good morning from this Oak Tree draped in its fall finery.

oh, I'm not exaggerating AT ALL when I say that deleting my Meta/Facebook account almost four years ago was one of the very best decisions of my entire life. you don't realize how miserable that shit is making you until you excise it entirely. really cannot recommend it enough for everyone!

good morning gang, let’s all suffer together

Can you sickos guess who he is referring to from just this post?

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

Illinois passed the Illinois Bivens Act, which allows folks to sue ICE officers who violate their rights. “damages can increase based on various factors … including the use of facial coverings, crowd control measures like tear gas, vehicles with a non-Illinois license plate or no license plate…”

With Mamdani's victory secure I hope he moves forward on Brad Lander's best policy proposal. NYC needs to close 3 municipal golf courses and turn them into neighborhoods. Mamdani can go big here and make a real mark on affordable housing.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

My biggest takeaway from Mamdani's speech, we have to keep chiseling away at the 'Big Money, Small Ideas' guys.

A lot of Very Serious People will be pretending to be confused about What This All Means as a way to avoid the simple inconvenient reality: Voters like it when candidates are kind sincere non-weirdos who are passionate about big popular ideas that will actually help real people.

mine eyes? seeing the glory. the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored? trampled. the faithful lighting of his terrible swift sword? buddy, you better believe that's loosed.

Hell yeah!

Vibelift, Viboom, Vibevation, Viberation, Vibes, rancid no more

this is looking significantly worse for the gop than 2021 was for Ds. will pundits treat it as a sweeping rebuke of Trump? or are they not allowed to put that in the papers now?

I want to see Mamdani win in NYC tomorrow for a lot of reasons, but one of them is absolutely to watch Bill Ackman crash out

This is the perfect description of Sherill/Fajool race

Incredibly funny to watch the right wing going Oh so just because I love money and hate poor people I'm a bad Christian according to "the pope"???

Wake up, Dick! I want you to see droves of New Yorkers voting in a Muslim socialist as mayor! Dick?

Alea iacta est

One reason I think it's safe to call bullshit on the billionaire threat to quit New York if Mamdani wins is that they are spending WAY more to try to beat him than he plans to tax them if he wins

This is just pure unalloyed good

3 Run homer for the BlueJays!

Just a great thread that has it all, dunking on Musk, a more historically accurate account of chattel slavery and of course Frederick Douglass quotes.

The biggest thing you need to protect yourself from on Halloween is automobiles and it’s not particularly close

Okay, this deep chain of Ozymandias riffs are giving me life today, so many bangers
