You either die recruiting Carl Reiner at a sporting event or you live long enough to become Carl Reiner at a sporting event

Happy 70th, Tony. Thanks for inspiring me to travel boldly and to listen to people when I do. And for teaching me (via cookbook) how to make a bangin’ coq au vin. Sorry this world was too much for you. We could still use you.

This is Holly. Every day for the past 5 years, she picks out a stick and brings it to her favorite spot for “zen time.” While her stick may change, her routine never does. 13/10 (IG: hollythebluestaffy)

I don’t know what is in this dosa but it makes my entire head sweat in a way I find pleasant but also slightly alarming

John Roberts' Constitution forbids any attempt to proactively ameliorate racial discrimination and racial inequality, but permits open racial discrimination as long as there is a facially neutral explanation available, even if it isn't remotely plausible. This, my friends, is "Colorblindness."

This is an incredibly narrow and strikingly *non-originalist* reading of the meaning of "commerce" but then Justice Thomas isn't an originalist as much as he is an antisocial crank in robes.

Everyone talks about how it's a problem the president is an 80-year-old senile racist who makes shit up, but let's not forget that Sam Alito is a 76-year-old senile racist who also makes shit up.

Completely insane and utterly unsurprising from this reactionary activist Court

(now that it won’t spoil the puzzle) I love it when these become accidental poetry (or perhaps in this case, a pithy personal ad?)

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

We are tired of doing all the work and then being told that our vote is a lock, we have no choice, and so you have to go run around chasing MAGA votes. We aren't the ones that hate Democratic volunteers. YOU DO.

It’s not an airport bro

Mamdani really seems to have cracked the code with this whole “actually do things the people who voted for you want” strategy, I see why people are upset

Every time I make the typo "grabity" part of me wants to argue that it should have been called that all along.

That's right, friends! STARLOG is back and I'm the editor-in-chief. We have so much good stuff for you in our first issue, coming this November!! Science! Sci-fi! Fantastic weirdness! Plus you can subscribe now to our podcast hosted by @jhoffman.bsky.social and @da7e.com!

I wanna give a big shoutout specifically to my friends @junaidforus.bsky.social and @nidaallam.bsky.social, both of whom had very close losses earlier this year in the primaries that — as heartbreaking as they were — a lot of progressives learned from.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

I don’t think Democrats should take advice from the party chair whose chief accomplishment was giving Trump a second term

NYC socialists really putting belt to ass out there, damn

seemingly underrated aspect of DSA's electoral successes against incumbent moderate and centrist democrats is simply that the latter got lazy

More of this energy please

My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party

Agreed But people will need to raise it, regularly and loudly, during what will be a lengthy D primary for POTUS. This is going to take sustained organizing over years and that's exceptionally hard bsky.app/profile/theg...

TBH I feel like Mamdani has bent over backwards to demonstrate that he's not remotely antisemitic, and guys like Frum who will call him an antisemite anyway on the basis of his religion and anti-Zionism are doing the work of bona fide antisemites

If you obliquely maybe wish for the death of one billionaire that’s a threat and you get banned but if you advocate for the indiscriminate killing of tens of thousands of people that’s just policy baby!

I feel unreasonably embarrassed for someone when I see them make a dopey canned reply, I look at their profile for evidence that they are a reply bot, and then become convinced that, no this is actual person saying this

“Don’t worry, if you have a green card you’ll be ok.” Yeah, glad we didn’t listen to that.

I’ve got friends who work in pharma and I don’t doubt their good intentions but it’s hard not to be cynical about an industry that seems mostly hellbent on producing a ruling class of svelte nonagenarians with permanent erections

🧵“What she did…was to make me think why capitalism is not only efficient and practical, but also moral” - Alan Greenspan, speaking about his guru Ayn Rand in 1974. It's worth understanding the role that this partnership played in unleashing the savageries of the modern market.

You know why no one ever asked President Obama about his administration’s reflecting pool renovations? BECAUSE HE WAS BUSY DOING ACTUAL PRESIDENT SHIT

There’s no way to avoid LinkedIn entirely, especially right now, but I can only tolerate it in small doses. Ten seconds of scrolling, silkwood shower, ten more seconds. Seeing someone I have known half my life talking like his brain was replaced by a salesforce instance is harrowing stuff.
