Posting about what's to be done with the turbolibs

You don't have to have supported Kat in her race to recognize that Benjamin Ryan is a hateful, obsessed guy whose career has been a lucky accident of hating the same people as his editors

a fun fact that I will never tire of is that the brits cooked up the idea of a “vote of no confidence“ specifically to ditch the govt that lost the war against the US colonies, which is why our constitutional tradition doesn’t benefit from their innovation

This too is dataviz

Can't stand on this *and* endorse Totenkopf Guy, sorry. Favreau is buying what Platner's selling so he's going to sniff at any objections people have. But this line of attack could give him a bloody nose

You have unlocked FAST TRAVEL. Whenever you enter a new Waffle House, it will be added to your list of fast travel destinations. At any time you are not in battle, press select to pull up the fast travel menu, then select a Waffle House to teleport to

I think this is the first question on any issue where I've seen Trump voters move away from him over time on one of his own initiatives

Writing as someone on Planned Parenthood's staff when it finally took aim at Susan Collins for her fake pro-choice bull: The _last_ thing Dems should want is to set Collins up to once again pose as a feminist champion. Her message vs. Platner is lay-up simple. Don't give her the chance to use it.

Eid Mubarak. Here is my daughter fending off a Beirut cat who belongs to the cafe but wanders in and out depending on the menu. If you celebrate, may your meal be as tempting as the makdous bi labneh was to this kitty.

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

This isn't a big deal as I've been reassured by many journalists that headlines don't matter

It *is* kind of crazy that the last time the Sunrise Movement posted about climate change was 35 days ago. I acknowledge it is not the most exciting topic going but I try to post about it at least once a month

OK folks. I ran some initial numbers on political ideology and antisemitism from my latest survey ~3 weeks ago and...they don't look great I used the same 3 core antisemitism questions as the widely cited Hersh and Royden study: perceptions of Jewish power, dual loyalty, and collective Israel blame

It has come to my attention that the New York State Fair (90 minutes from my house) will be holding a Shrek -themed rave this year. Just thought you should all know.

the "trackaipac" group is idiotic and anti-semitic, and people should stop treating it with anything other than contempt

Potentially relevant detail to Track AIPAC's choice here: Biss is Jewish and Van Hollen is not

It's just Weird that nobody in the campaigning or disinfo world has thought to look at them

Broke: The divide in the Democratic Party is lib vs left Woke: The divide in the Democratic Party is fight vs don’t fight Bespoke: The divide in the Democratic Party is “we can use the One Ring a little as a treat” versus “idk, didn’t seem to work out for that slimy little Gollum dude.”

The first time I've ever called not-my-Senator was this morning to tell Warren to reacquaint herself with the Nazi bar analogy

Turns out it didn't have legs

The problem with trying to outspend everyone in an electoral campaign is that no amount of money can make someone mediocre into someone talented

Waffles has a good time!

I will judge this like I judge all Spider-Man movies: is there a guy who yells out in an outer borough accent, “Go get ‘em, Spidaman!” or something similar?

I want to be clear that a load bearing pillar of fighting fascism is exactly this

The theology of Spider-Man 3's Eddie Brock and Shellac's "Prayer to God"

it was so fun doing a sensitivity read with Feargal on this. “Can I call you an O’Cquaintance?”

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

nobody does more brutal fashion reviews than the irish

I think you can make a pretty good case that internet audience capture is the force that has ruined America, and while I'm all for independent-minded Democrats who push the party to fight harder, a lot of the people claiming to be that are just, in fact, captured by a different audience.

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

it's kind of weird that AFAICT not a single disinformation reporter has written about TrackAIPAC, right?

I reached out to the Biss campaign to ask about this and was told they're "looking into it." But I did a quick search through FEC filings and couldn't find any evidence of the firm being a vendor or outside spender, or of Biss and two others listed here having weird overlaps. Details below:

Someone at the NYT asked me a couple years ago for an opinion piece on "how to solve the Colorado River water crisis." So I made a nice little writeup on the most obvious answer: charging for water. Once the editorial board saw it, they freaked out & cancelled the piece.

Watching Secret Lives of Mormon Wives last night I realized that some people have a great relationship with God because to them God is a voice they can imagine validating whatever decisions they make

The Nexus Project is emerging as the alternative to the ADL that we need. Please boost and support if you can.

A smoke detector that says in a soothing Cate Blanchett voice "I require a new 9-volt battery, please" and only during daylight hours

Here tonight is the man who inspired my next song, "Fat Shithead Disrespected my Rōnin." [spotlight tracks me as the top half of my body slides off of the bottom half]

Laker Fans Furious As Bam Adebayo Dies In Even Worse Helicopter Crash

It's very bad, because there's a genuine problem here—the Israeli state is incredibly evil, people are rightfully furious about that and how much support the U.S. state gives them, American Jewish communal institutions have lashed themselves to it—and also it feeds directly into insane bigotry.

it's great that this guy went from being the most hysterical centrist on earth to being a wailing turbodoomer without ever once producing a single sentence which was of any use to any person alive

Better: have never really been into Pearl Jam but they (Eddie in particular) are incredible live Worse: Modest Mouse's live sets are a warning to millennials on the dangers of substance abuse
