I actually don't think Chotiner is preternaturally good at interviewing or whatever, I just think the rest of the national press is operating at goo goo ga ga level

Netflix should have AOC and Trump take the Wonderlic live

HAHAHAHHA YESSSSSSS

Switched to RedZone after my Pats got up 23-7 with the ball. This is ass. I'm taking the dog for a walk.

Lmfao

I don’t want to do the whole occupation-tourism thing when this is very real for people but I shared today’s video with all the Chicago people I know because ICE is now terrorizing people in neighborhoods we used to hang out and sometimes rent in.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

I largely agree with this but I think it’s more true when our social safety net — weak as it is — functions. So on November 1st when we lose SNAP for example, class politics will be more about people who work but can’t afford to eat.

They gassed Lakeview?!?!

This was inevitable. Great and valuable reporting though!

This is insanely illegal and incredibly fucking dangerous.

The actual jeopardy tiktok account posted this.

This is a top 5 corrupt action so far

This is also how my family celebrates Diwali by ranting in lunatic fashion for hours

TRUMP (FIRST TERM): Look at me! I'm refusing my $400,000 presidential salary—and only making tens of millions shaking down foreign nationals at my DC hotel! TRUMP (SECOND TERM): Put $230 million in an unmarked bag or the country gets a *fucking* shiv in the jugular. Schnell! Schnell, motherfucker!

Curious about the George Santos commutation? This sheet pan Dover sole recipe was submitted by Santos himself, dating back to his time as executive chef of The French Laundry.

Platner appeals because he seems to be a shortcut. Instead of (as @jamellebouie.net says) building local political parties helping people, building trust, slowly building networks and trying to reshape the possible … just elect liberal dudebro and we’ve solved populism!

My two cents is that Plattner is cooked because his explanation was super fucking slippery and because after Fetterman enough voters and activists know better.

really did not expect to hearing about nazis all the time in 2025 was just not something i considered tbh

Hell yeah. This is the best time of the pro sports year with both NBA/NFL going

AHAHAHHAHAHAAHAH “athletically allergic”

Where this weekend’s millions of protestors messed up was not sitting around at a diner in rural Pennsylvania waiting to be interviewed

they invented a technology that makes you worse at your job while convincing you you’re better at it. also your boss has to believe you’re better at it or else the entire economy explodes. they made the sophon from three body problem in real life

It’s fun to correct people with “I think you mean PRO BOWLER Mac Jones”

I guess if I *had* to pick my favorite part of the video the president posted where he’s a big boy pilot and he pew pew pews his poop all over everyone, it would be the part where he shits on the American flag?

This is 💯 what I’m feeling today watching this at a sportsbook with all the other games. I’m in Atlantic City so of course the Eagles are drawing the most attention but Drake Maye is easily #2.

Jacksonville is the London team! How are they the ones who didn’t show up??

Ok this is hilarious

the fact the mayor of Chicago is telling the crowd that their best choice of action is a general strike and the crowd of tens of thousands going absolutely bat shit for it is quite heartening It’s important to remember that even though the national level Democrats have abandoned us we are willing.

Donald Trump has achieved what everyone claimed was impossible and convinced NYCers to hang out in Times Square

Hartford #NoKings is huge. Finding parking was hard, which it wasn’t last time. Have to imagine it well exceeds the 7-10k estimates from last time.

No Kings Hartford

THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM

[Exit King.]

This week’s “Photos of the Week” compilations will be truly dark. @reuters.com @gettyimages.com

This post made my day (the whole thread is great!) and now I need to rewatch GHOSTBUSTERS

MODERATOR: Your rebuttal, Mr. Cuomo? CUOMO: You know, I have, these people, I have spent many times in an [eye twitching] Islamic Mask- SLIWA: [raising hand] In 1997 I Met A Vampire Inside Katz's Delicatessen

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI 1. Cut a hole in the box 2. Put your junk in that box

Every piece of information I’ve ever acquired about Curtis Sliwa has been both against my will and incredibly funny

You're hearing it more and more.

I am screaming! Andrew Cuomo thinks he lost the Democratic primary because he wasn't on social media enough LOLOL!

I see podcasts are getting in on Betteridge’s Law of Headlines

Here's how ProPublica categorizes the 170 US citizens ICE has kidnapped. 50 Kavanaugh stops and 120 cases where ICE claimed they were assaulted, usually (IMO) after assaulting the person in question. Remember that 2 of the electeds--Ras Baraka and Brad Lander--were arrested DURING their election.

Enshittifying Windows PCs further is a great way to get people to cut the cord. I barely barely feel like I need one now. Forcing me to talk to spyware while gumming up my OS further is probably the last straw?

the whole point of Vehicle is that Women Like It. if women don't like the vehicle it ceases to fulfill the social function of vehicle

I love Chicago Pope so much. The Pope stands no chance against clickbait — or capitalist rot in general — but I sincerely and deeply applaud the effort.

💯 and Dems will come to regret not reading the tea leaves on this, on the excitement around Mamdani, etc. And I don’t see how we aren’t headed towards general strikes, real boycotts, etc. and Dems won’t claim those either.
