And this is what they call “the ole Chappaquiddick Farewell” in the Kennedy family, dude couldn’t help it, it’s in his blood.

this is why actually doing your jury duty is so important lol

conde nast fired the vp of new york newsguild for asking HR questions

the level of wishcasting is astonishing, they really believe they have a magic fairy dust they can sprinkle over a game production and it'll make huge chunks of the workforce redundant

“Look at those women with their Stanleys and their toddlers and their bullet journals” they will ruin your life buddy

Disagree that Teen Vogue's politics coverage wasn't focused on investigating the administration.

Any Democrat who didn’t endorse Zohran Mamdani should retire.

People love to think the public service is overpaid and with the cuts coming to the federal govt here, a lot of people who do good work that you rely on and just don’t see, will be out of jobs - and the services you rely on will be done worse by AI.

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

Viral posts about how Moms For Liberty had zero wins on election night...aren't true. They're misinformation, even dis-info. M4L did have a number of school board candidates win. You can verify that information pretty easily. They had *A LOT* of losses and their power isn't what it once was.

Mamdani says he'll pay for free buses and free child care with new taxes on rich people and corporations. Meanwhile billions of dollars in budget deficits loom for New York, with federal spending cuts making the picture much worse and threatening social programs we already have. Ugly details here.

Readers in Arizona, Michigan, & Georgia! Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare. If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call! Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

I think the Sunset Vibe rainbow box might be my favorite so far. The design goes so well with the box 😊 There’s a matching bookmark, too! Available now on my website at failedartstudios.com #woodworking #resinart #shopsmall #shoplocal

Some on the far right want to repeal the 19th amendment. Many more share a coercive, patriarchal view of women. I wrote about this and how the far right sees subjugating women as key to building the sort of electorate they need to win. @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/women-should...

"“They wanna know how far they can go in Chicago, so they can replicate this throughout the country,” [Rep. Delia] Ramirez said. “Every single person around the country should be watching what’s happening here. They think that they can do it here and...they’ll be able to do it anywhere.”" 💯👇

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Hopefully those reports are true!

#kpop Jimin friends, take a look at this amazing painting!!!!!

The “they’re rapists” line from racists is not about women’s autonomy or dignity; it’s not even about the wrongness of rape. It is about white men’s property interests over white women. It’s not “they’re doing something horrible”; it’s “they’re raping the ones only you have a right to rape.”

People love to say that the use of rape as racial slur by conservatives against whole classes of people should delegitimize women’s anti-rape organizing. Very few people seem to see the racist “rapists” smear for what it is: a cynical undermining of feminism that claims to women as racial property.

Once again, we need to define what “feminism” is here. Not everything any woman ever does—not even in the political realm, and not even concerning gender—is “feminism.” Opposing the rights of women as a class to equal status and dignity is in fact called “antifeminism.”

Has anyone read any SFF romance / romantasy that includes dating apps? I am 75% sure I read at least one where the magical beings had a special dating app but I canNOT remember which book.

His tariffs are driving up prices. He's gutting Medicaid. He's killing the ACA. He wants to cut Medicare. Now he's destroying air traffic. When are US businesses going to start fighting back? Consumers can't bear the costs of all of this. When are shareholders going to bail?

This goes triple for Fox News, Newsmax, etc, why are we so addicted to caring what they think. Oh are they misrepresenting what happened? Gasp. Are they being racist? No way! I don’t want to see that ugly blonde lady!

the upsetting thing is i don’t even get to feel a whole lot of joy as this fails because i’ve already watched so many people break down as they get chucked for copilot or whatever & the first people the fucking collapse hits are *also* gonna be paycheck to paycheck. management will somehow be fine.

Man, Yuta is so underrated as a soloist????? His second album is just as good and idk, gritty? hefty? something like that, as the first.

Reminder!! Bluesky has a pronoun labeler you should really use! Only those who subscribe to this will see it so you should do that. Don't worry, that's all it does. Instructions are in the bio/first post.

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

MrBeast hates Zohran because if people have access to basic necessities, it will demolish the Giving People Those Necessities As Part Of A Saw-Inspired Game Show industry

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Y'all don't understand Bill's been writing this comment since the completion of the Q train extension. May we all live to see the comeuppance of our opps the way Bill has.

IT'S ACTUALLY PAPER

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

I better see noticeably fewer teslas in downtown Brooklyn, I stg!

Aw man, sorry minneapolis!

To be clear, EIGHT counties voted to eliminate their own district and prevent the people they voted for one year ago from winning again: www.newsweek.com/california-c...

Jeeeeeesus! Rui!!! 😍

So, some of you may not know that I'm one of the best short-form writers in genre romance. Here's some of my work that clocks in around/under 10K!

it's insanely funny for people to be talking like this about New York of all places, the city with a big metal lady in the harbor holding a sign that says "we love immigrants"

I agree with this thread, but I also need to add one thing: The idea that progressives can't win in conservative areas? We need to challenge that, and after this election, we can.

I lost the framed original of this while I was going through St Pancras on Sunday Nov 2nd around 3pm. Would love if it had been found by anyone?

Mamdani announces transition team: All-female team led by Elana Leopold, a known Dem strategist; also Melanie Hartzog, who once led the NYC’s health and human services and budget offices; former dep mayor Maria Torres-Springer, and Lina Khan, the former FTC commissioner who campaigned with Mamdani

Just a reminder that these new JK Rowling-enriching audiobooks are available exclusively on Amazon-owned Audible. Which is another great reason to switch to Libro.fm. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/a...

LINA KHAN is on Mamdani’s transition team???????? LET’S GOOOOOO

this was for a colorado measure guaranteeing universal free lunch for kids. funny how a short two-column table can say so much in so little space.
