So Lupe Fiasco is currently in the middle of a truly legendary multi-day crashout. The man has always been a reply guy but holy hell this is wild.

Sure, but what else do they have at this point?

Oh HELL no. Listen, I adore both Dano and Qualley, but if there is any film that does not need to be remade in any capacity, it's Possession. Seriously, if you haven't seen it, log off and watch it at once. Isabelle Adjani literally invents acting in it. www.empireonline.com/movies/news/...

Look, while I may not like Hasan, I grant that there is a reasonable discussion to be had about the role he plays and the work he does. The same cannot be said of Mike from PA. That dude is an absolute dirtbag.

Just when it's looking like my opinion of Hasan is starting to improve somewhat after pounding the pavement with progressive candidates around the country, he nips that shit right quick by platforming this crackpot.

I'm generally 'any team from the global south except Brazil or Argentina (they have their titles).' But there's no way in hell I'm rooting for Belgium or fucking France over the US.

Louder for the people in the back, please and thank you. Like how many times over the past decade have we watched Congressional democrats get rat fucked by centrists vs progressives?

McMorrow: I'm gonna triangulate! Michigan: fucking lol

I just can't square these numbers with anything less than a D+6 national environment. The Fox poll would put it closer to +10.

It's shit like this why I find the idea that Vance could take over MAGA absurd. The man is utterly devoid of juice. Just barren.

The spread of Marxist-Leninist-Kristol thought continues apace.

The problem with NVE as a concept is that is was developed by specialist researchers to describe a hyper-specific strain of real extremism, but then was swiftly appropriated by generalists and the media to encompass any case that didn't fit into their outdated ideological frameworks.

Rufo illustrates the utter brain rot of centrist media types like Klein. Like this man is *on record* admitting that his campaigns are deliberate bad faith smokescreens papering over blatant moral panic hatchet jobs. And yet Klein and his ilk seem to think he's some sort of principled activist.

Yes the same poll also shows Platner with a significant lead among high motivated voters, but this is hardly promising. I'm done discussing his personal issues but needless to say a Platner loss would be a truly generational bag fumble by the Democrats, and a comically self-inflicted one at that.

Chiropractor is crank pseudoscience. Go to a physical therapist, an orthopedist, or licensed massage therapist.

It feels good being objectively correct.

Sliwa is a truly captivating political figure despite his utterly rancid politics. I'll never forget the debate w/ him, Mamdani, and Cuomo, that was just him going "this handsome commie is a goober, but I want to beat Andrew Cuomo to death with a lead pipe and fashion a chalice out of his skull."

While I think this is possible, and the Dems should obviously prepare for it, I think a far more likely outcome is that Trump just focuses on using Congressional investigations for maximum grift.

Fox just can't stop doing the meme.

I am at genuine medical risk of hyperventilating right now.

Patriots actually in control.

What are they, stupid?

lol Germany lmao even

Any serious Democratic candidate for 2028 must commit to pardoning these guys on day 1.

Yea he's going to jail. And not like rich athlete jail. JAIL jail.

I honestly didn't think Musk would skip right over protocols-post and go straight to day of the rope-posting. Failure of imagination on my part, clearly. But yea, this is very extremely not good.

Again, no shade to anyone with a strict 'no twitter' policy, but watching them melt into hot slag over Coney-Barrett upholding mail-in voting and convince themselves Goresch will vote to nuke birthright citizenship is extremely funny.

Almost like treating housing as leveraged financial assets first and place to live second is bad, actually.

To the groomsman at the wedding I just attended who wore white socks with a black suit and thought no one would notice:

This is one of the most wholesome stories in recent memory.

We have truly found god's strongest soldier.

Can we even call them 'accusations' at this point? It's historical record.

Who would have thought that majors focused on teaching students how to write and think would prove professionally versatile?

Not only is this hilarious but it really hammers home just how pathetic the centrist wing of the party actually is. It only took 3 incumbents going down in one of the most lefty parts of the country for the scales to fall from their eyes and them to realize "oh god, we suck ass at politics."

1. Passports don't open that way, so both images will be sideways. 2. Does he think non-US citizens get US passports?

Not Pusha T in a god damn Polymarket ad 😭

I would like to take this opportunity to drop an extremely smug 'I told you so' to the various anti-electoralism leftists who have yelled at me over the years about how the inherent inability to influence the Democratic party. 3 incumbents in a deep blue state go down and you have their attention.

I for one am glad there is a place I can go and watch people assert the counter-revolutionary status of US fast-casual dining.

Has the DSA even taken a position on whether there will be shrimp under communism? Many are asking this.

Look centrists, I get you're in your feelings right now. A 34-year old municipal politician just dog walked you in front of the entire country. I'm sure it stings. But maybe chill out and reflect a bit before embarrassing yourselves further?

The fact the NYT left *this* topic in the hands of Ross Douthat, makes me think the editor of the Opinion section finally had a nervous breakdown and has decided to turn the entire section into a piece of deranged post-structuralist performance art.

To be clear, I have plenty of bones to pick with the DSA, but the shit being put out by shook centrists right now is beyond delusional. Magdi, my sister in Christ, centrist dems have been ceding power to Trump for two. straight. years.

Ok yall, time to solicit some feedback. I've started designing my 'international politics in sci-fi film/tv' course and this is the rough course outline I've put together so far. There is also technically room for 1 more week. Bear in mind this is for a gen ed audience with no prereqs. Thoughts?

Conspiracies around AIPAC obscure a simple yet uncomfortable fact: Democrats have backed Israel because they support what Israel is and what they are doing. No 'control' is needed. On that note, everyone should read "Reactionary Democracy" by @aaronwinter.bsky.social and @aurelmondon.com .

I know there are plenty of reasons to roll your eyes at Letterboxd, but sometimes reviews there just capture the essence of a film better than I ever could. *gold star if you can guess which film they're talking about

Call me, Disney. I promise you can afford my fee.

Once again, Hannah Arendt from downtown. * 'Épater la bourgeoisie' means to shock or scandalize the middle and upper classes. The term was popularized by 19th century French poets.

Mamdani has delivered yet again!!

Listen, I've never been a Hasan fan and I'm sure this info will prompt his many haters to offer all manner of thoughts. But here's another thought: if you're a national political party and your GOTV operation is getting smoked by a twitch streamer, then your GOTV operation just might be ass.
